The past 2 weeks have taken TBMP founder @christopherfuller from Ethiopia, to Egypt, & now the heart of "Black Wall St" in Tulsa, OK. This shot is at the corner of Greenwood Ave & Archer. Tulsa's GAP Band took their name from this historic Black district (Pine St being the P). #blackwallst #tulsa

Egypt has been an inspiration for all genres of music -- but especially in Black genres like #jazz #hiphop #rap etc. Can you think of any songs/videos inspired by Egypt? Post them here. We'll start: Michael Jackson's #newjackswing hit "Remember The Time." #michaeljackson #egypt #queenhatshepsut

Usually, when we post about the Nile we're talking about Mr. Rodgers. But today TBMP is in Cairo! (Nile Rriver in background). Know any good Egyptian themed tunes by Blacks? Shout them out here. We'll start: Louis Armstrong's "Go Down Moses." #jazz #egypt #louisarmstrong #nilerodgersandchic

Hi. TBMP founder, Christopher Fuller is currently in Addis Ababa #Ethiopia for @griotseye and so spouts may be sparse for a while. In the meantime, have you seen our new Big Mama Thornton video? #africa #worktravel

HHB to #jazz #saxophonist Eddie Harris (10.20.1934 Chicago). TBMP is proud to have Eddie's daughter, Yvonne Harris Burnley (entertainment lawyer and adjunct entertainment law professor at Howard University), on its advisory board. #EddieHarris

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, get ready for The Black Music Project. In light of recent comments by your co-founder, TBMP founder Christopher Fuller (wearing a TBMP #hiphop hoodie) is gonna have to channel his inner "Karen" and ask to speak to "the manager." #JannWenner #Cleveland #rockhall

The 16th St. Baptist Church bombing (9.15.1963) in Birmingham, AL, occurred just a few months after the assassination of Medgar Evers. We must never forget Addie Mae Collins, Cynthia Wesley, Carole Robertson, and Carol Denise McNair. #16thSt #NeverForget #4LittleGirls #medgarevers

Last night in the hotel room we caught ESPN's new doc: The Crossover, which explores the 50 year synergy between #hiphop and sports. It was well done and features expert commentary from author @danamo Danyel Smith! Highly recommend! #rap #sports #documentary

Work songs have a long tradition in America, & many are closely associated with the Black Music Project's notion of #wokesongs because they're more than just about relieving oneself from work's arduousness; they're about examining social structures —& unfairness of the system. #LaborDay #WorkSongs

Book recommendation: Black Diamond Queens by Maureen Mahon. We intended this book for holiday beach reading, but the weather here in LA had other plans. Still, it is a fantastic read about Black women's indelible influence on #rocknroll music. #book #BMPBookRec #BMPrec #BlackWomensHistory

HB to Larry Graham (08.14.1946). Fans know Larry best as bassist for #SlyStone & the inventor of the #slapbass technique that shaped the sound of #funk & influenced countless bass players such as rock music's Flea, new age country's Victor Wooten, jazz's Stanley Clarke, & many more! #LarryGraham

OTD (08.13.831) Nat Turner witnessed a solar eclipse and took it as a sign from God to lead his bloody revolt against enslavers. In the late 1960s, inspired by Turner, a Philly #soul #funk and R&B group called The Nat Turner Rebellion formed. #NatTurner #BlackHistory #rnb #phillysoul #wokesongs

The term "Motown hit machine" was used by admirers & detractors in the 60s due to its prolific hit-making ability. However, simply calling it a "hit machine" neglects the genuine artistry of each expertly crafted tune. #motown #BerryGordy #1960s #music #songwriting #Detroit #FordMotors

The news that Yusef Salaam will likely win a NYC City Council primary is inspiring. His story reminds us of others convicted of crimes unjustly due to racism. The 1931 #ScottsboroBoys case inspired #folk & #blues musician #LeadBelly to warn Blacks to #staywoke #wokesongs #BMPthread #YusefSalaam

Congratulations to #BustaRhymes for his Lifetime Achievement Award at last night’s #BETAwards . Pretty remarkable for a kid from Brooklyn who once attended high school with two other future #rap legends: #BiggieSmalls and #jayz #hiphop
