I think it's disgusting that people like Robert Johnson, Leadbelly, Mississippi John Hurt, T-bone Walker, and thousands of other bluesmen out of the Mississippi Delta actually stole the blues from the Irish and tried to claim it as their own. They should be ashamed. Actually, I understand that Rap and Hip-hop originated in Latvia and Lithuania. Hmmmmmm. If we (Black folk) hadn't come up with those Madrigals, we probably wouldn't have any musical heritage at all.
