Hood N*gga (Gorilla Zoe Cover but it's 1972 Blues)

[@AIForTheCulture]

Rasheed Rhythms, born Rasheed Johnson on February 17, 1950, in Chicago, Illinois, was a pioneering African American blues artist who rose to prominence during the vibrant music scene of the 1970s. Raised in the tough neighborhoods of Chicago's South Side, Rasheed's early life was marked by hardship and adversity. A self described "Hood N*gga", He was drawn into a life of crime and street hustling, navigating the dangerous world of drug dealing to make ends meet. However, amidst the chaos of his surroundings, Rasheed discovered solace and inspiration in the music of the blues. Driven by a desire for change, Rasheed made the courageous decision to leave behind his life of crime and dedicate himself to his true passion: music. Armed with nothing but his guitar and a dream, he set out on a journey to turn his life around and pursue a career in music. In 1972, Rasheed achieved national recognition with the release of his breakout hit single "Hood N*gga", a powerful anthem that reflected his own journey from the streets to the stage. The song's gritty realism and unflinching honesty struck a chord with audiences across the country, propelling Rasheed to stardom and cementing his status as a rising star in the blues world.

[@lucasyup]

My one armed 3rd cousin on my mamas side "Lil Skeet" played lead guitar on this track. He played with is teeth 10 years before anyone even heard of Jimi Hendrix. The Chevy mentioned in this track was Skeets 1962 Impala that he used to cruise around with 24" tractor tires he stole off the neighbors John Deere. Had to use tractor tires to make it down the dirt road to his favorite juke joint every Friday. Good to see some of the artists from this lost era of music finally getting the spotlight shone on their once in a generation talent. Bend them strings Skeet........

[@cleokendersn5607]

Cd's were not available on audio or radio during, "the era of the timeline of remake of this: highly newly innovative creation and well-composed written compensation of literature behind the origional copyright beat of this song" that; was written in 2023 so; I cannot comprend or have any form of an understanding of how, anyone in their right frame of mind was dancing to this exact track of literature or art back in 1972 especially; being that beat located in the background of the creation of the song was skipped in order to fit into theme of the song which; was taken and stripped from, another oldie but goodie classic song as the Title and Lyrics was a written as an online private classroom course assignment by; an: "Oldie But Goodies Music Collector" and a Student at a certain higher educational private postsecondary university and institution as: none of the lines of the lyrics were authorized or created robotically or through the process or use of high tech technology as the date has also; been modified and altered.

He's reflecting on all of the necessary violence he had to display in order to get to where he is now. The pain in his voice is the reminder of violence but the soul in his voice is a warning. A true artist.

[@BaxterBeat5]

Fr!!

[@dylanmccallister1888]

I feel like this would actually be a great blueprint for soul/R&B artists to make a even better cover. Because it's not perfect it is a little rough and i think that boils down to just the organics of a real guitarist and human voice and how smooth it can be and how many micro inflections in the voice from emotion there are. Never thought human would be a recognizable quality in a voice.

[@stevescotthiphop]

[@micahweiss]

your jams are dope

[@Traulma]

I can hear the AI rough parts, but the foundation is strong. Most of these songs are solid, people are afraid because people without a voice or instrument is just wrong. I like too think that people who don't have those skills but still have an ear and rhythm can make something now. True voices and beats will always be better but I do like the growth of music.
