Comments on: Elton gives his 2 cents on R & B/Hip-hop of today http://www.blackinformant.com/uncategorized/elton-gives-his-2-cents-on-r-bhip-hop-of-today Engaging the culture by challenging the status quo Mon, 06 Feb 2012 14:52:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Matthew Mitchell http://www.blackinformant.com/uncategorized/elton-gives-his-2-cents-on-r-bhip-hop-of-today/comment-page-1#comment-536 Matthew Mitchell Mon, 03 Oct 2005 21:48:28 +0000 /?p=655#comment-536 I'm 23 years old and I love all black music, old and new. However, I can’t dismiss the fact that my generation is hip-hop no matter what color my skin is. My point is that Hip-Hop is me, and like a child of old school black music it has grown into its own. So I can't except the notion that hip-hop has ruined black musical legacy just because a musical legend says so. Hip hop gave US a voice from its inception. I think that some if it sucks now, but some of everything sucks. It will be what we left behind. We shouldn’t diss it. I’m 23 years old and I love all black music, old and new.

Then again wasn't Sir Elton was playing the piano in the video.
