I do volunteer work doing one on one music tutoring with abused and neglected mostly black children from inner city baltimore, sorta trying to turn their anger away from violence and into a passion.
I also play a lot of music for them, starting jazz and Bebop, blues, funk, etc and try to show them how these styles influenced and created the rap they hear on the radio, how there's an entire world of black music that they can keep alive. But most of what I play is pretty basic stuff like Davis, Charlie Parker, muddy waters, etc.
Can /mu/ recommend me any albums or artists to share, preferably black or minority artists who greatly influenced "black" music and genres. Something that 16 year old kid could get some enjoyment out of. Or even just modern black artists doing something unique or outside of the mainstream hip hop world. Obviously no one who curses or uses nigger often.
Know this is risky for 4chan but no /pol/ shit please. If you want to have a conversation about issues you see in black communities leave your email and I would be glad to discuss it with you.

but seriously, maybe Pieces of a Man if you haven't already showed them it. They can at least enjoy The Revolution...
Or maybe Nina, and Lady Day?

also Somethin' Else by Cannonball Adderley should be enjoyable to most young people. Sorry my suggestions are so entry-level

Play them some Melvin Van Peebles, Brer Soul. Quasimoto samples abound. You can talk about Sweetback and the beginning of blaxploitation movies. And then maybe play them Lord Quas!

OP as a black i suggest you just show them music you really like, expand their minds and maybe in secret they'll start listening to new music because they'll have some familiarity with it, its harder to listen to something they will never listen too unless someone shows them, all the great black artists they already heard or will eventually hear on their own, show them something new, show them love as if they're one of your won or you and show them stuff you love. Show them In Rainbows album, thats good stuff.

Why don't you stop trying to pander to their taste in rap shit and bringing race into it and just teach them? Christ, you people are insufferable. Why don't you ask them what they like? If you have to center it around hip-hop, find an instrumental version and break some part of it down.
