Free Music Notes for Neither Fish nor FleshFree Music Review: This Album Is a MasterpieceIn all honesty, I really don't care anymore about the people who are in opposition to this album because its ambitions. I even tried to convince some of my family members to listen to NFNF but they all fell on death ears. This album should be considered a milestone in pop music history, esepcially Black music history since just about every form of music created in America is Black music. Sananda Maitreya (changed his name)was willing to break the racial boundaries among genres and stereotypes that still continue to plague Black artists as of 2008. Black artists only playing R&B/Hip Hop while White musicians could play Rock music and do crossover with ease was something that Sananda at the time looked down upon. His first album was great but he felt he was heading into a direction where he was being categorized as this safe, non-threatening Black R&B artist. Sananda at the time and still today gets overshadowed. Documentaries on Black music (even the ones on Vh1 Soul) don't do a good job covering Black artists in the 80s (such as Prince, Sananda, Living Colour, Lenny Kravitz)that stuck in the tradition (Sananda grew and sung in a Church. His mother was a great gospel singer. He wasn't allowed to listen to secular music until he was 16. The only option was listening through a small radio or transmittor.)but took it to another level by combining different styles and genres of music. Once they talk about Black music in the 80s they just talk about Hip hop. Don't get wrong, hip hop has been influential and I can't deny its impact and popularity but there are still issues that haven't been addressed properly in Black music and culture (even though rock music is not as popular as hip hop or as popular as it used to be in the past.) One of issues being Black musicians playing rock music. Hopefully artists like Sananda, Prince, Living Colour, Lenny Kravitz and more will be put into the textbooks for Black students to read on in terms of contemporary Black artists trying to break the still unbroken legacy of the race records/race charts. Sorry if this review is long but I feel strongly about this issue.
