Does /mu/ like Curtis Mayfield

Yea, I'm your pusherman, I'm your friend, I'm your neighbor, you want coke you want dro, let me know (._.)

I mean, I like it, but thing is the drug culture it promotes is a large part of what destroyed African American culture in America. That makes me not like it so much.

We probably wouldn't of had the crack epidemic in the 80s and subsequent gang culture in the 90s if not for the "heeyyyy buddy try some coke!" attitude that prevailed after the hippies made smoking weed cool.

a musical genius, love him

That song is from a perspective of a character. It's ironic, If you can't tell by the lyrics.

You are absolutely clueless about Curtis Mayfield and the message that his music carried. Pls stop commenting in this thread. thanks in advance.

Anyway, even on his worst albums there was still always the one absolute groover. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5fmOmK5nV0

>According to Australian radio station Triple J, Mayfield recorded his songs by lying on his back, the only way he could get enough air into his lungs, and singing one verse at a time. After every verse for a song had been recorded, they were edited together for the finished, continuous track.

Gotta be honest, his voice bugs me too much for me to listen to him as often as I prob should

I personally think his voice is fantastic; one of my favorite voices of all time. To each his own.
