Class 10/24

During this class when we were comparing the feel of the music between white Americans and African Americans, I thought it was interesting in the differences between them. The African American versions seem so seamless, go with the flow, and just unbothered. They have that “behind the beat,” feel to them that seems effortless, but still comes together to make a catchy song. When white people would try to imitate, it would sound almost awkward. It seemed to try too hard to sound good because it was so much more fast paced and overall just not the same.
