"Hip-hop has taken over black music," writes Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson, drummer for The Roots and band leader for The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
The music's success, Thompson argues, isn't necessarily a good thing.
"Maybe domination isn't quite a victory," he writes for Vulture. "Maybe everpresence isn't quite a virtue."

(110,909 posts)3. Black music has always come up with something so different
that no one has ever thought of it before. I hope the next wave starts to break before I kick the bucket, I really want to know what will come out of places like Detroit.
There is a group of people somewhere kicking around musical ideas in an old storefront or garage that will stand the whole music industry on its head again.
Parents who came of age on rap will yell at their kids to turn that damned noise down. The kids, however, will know. They always do.
