Jayson Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Some looked with disdain as Led Zeppelin or whoever ripped off some old blues artist that nobody, outside of ethnic communities, would know about. Anyway, I think it's narrow-minded to say this - as a lot of artists have made good original stuff and have made strikingly good spins on songs - in genres where, seemingly, they didn't belong. We can say that nobody owns a genre. This is what some seem to imply. Artists like Eminem and others have shown that very strongly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
