Rock & roll has been around for over a half a century; it’s now part of history. And as part of the historical record, it is open to interpretation and debate, especially among musicians. Mos Def, has his own opinion in Black on Both Sides. Now, I love that album, and Def is a great talent, but its narrowness leaves something to be desired. One particular song, entitled, “Rock N Roll,” argues that “the Rolling Stones didn’t come up with that sound on their own.” Black people started rock & roll; white people have simply appropriated–adulterated– the music, and Mos Def is going to take it back.
