There’s no doubt that... that there’s a connection. Hip hop is definitely a child of groove (Yeah). And I think you gotta know the roots to, to really [?]. It’s knowing your parents, man. It’s, like, knowing your culture so you can be proud of that culture and take to the world like, “Hey, this is where it came from. This is where we’re taking it
[Sample Quote from PBS’s The Blues Documentary]
[Marshall Chess]
[?] used to always say, “The blues is the roots and everything else is the fruits.” You know, today you look at MTV and VH1. Music is such a part of whole world culture of young people. Yet so few of them know the roots

See, that’s the great thing about making history it’s that you’ll never know (You never know). You just do your thing (Right). I mean, the... the fact that kids don’t know this today is disturbing. All I know is that the blues tell the best stories. Today, the similarities are there and we can use some of the aspects from the past to apply to future. But if you keep the music aware of the past, people are gonna [?] and then [?] future to look forward to, so everything is “Now! Now! Now! Now!”
[Sample Quote from PBS’s The Blues Documentary]
[Koko Taylor]
A lot of people think blues music is something to make you look sad, look down at yourself. But I tell everybody, “Not my blues.” My music is like a therapy. It’s designed to make people look up, pep up, get up, smile, feel better about themselves

Different minds are out there, more receptive, you understand? These, these young men here found their way back to the roots of all American music through a gateway. People who pan them—the critics—will have to keep in mind one thing: most critics don’t do music. They can’t create. So what they do is they criticize, they dump on you. This has been throughout time. They did the same thing to [?]. John Coltrane. I, I’ve always figured that critics were probably reincarnation of the mob that crucified Christ
[Sample Quote from [?]]

When you, when you realize the, the origins of this, you take it somewhere else. We get where we paying homage and we taking it to a new place
