So many comedians tour for 3 years on the same material and yet Josh posts fresh routines constantly! This man works! I hope he becomes a household name and he seems to have the common sense to not become an egomaniac and live a good life. I’m so excited to watch him grow.

Love your stuff Josh! Also regarding the white spiritual hymn, I don't know if this counts, but I'm from Cyprus and my people were enslaved and oppressed up until 1955 when the British forces left the island. We have many spirituals that we were taught in school. Like (translating from Greek) "My Bright Moon", which taught young kids how to evade the oppressors as they walked during the night to secretly go to school. There's also nursery rhymes that use metaphors and allegories to secretly communicate with other Cypriots without their masters knowing. It's very similar to Wade in the Water and other spirituals like that. Music and stories are so powerful because when they come from the soul they can uplift and liberate.

I would say it counts in an overall but here in America we don't hear about it. We do always hear about black slave hymns. That is the space this is focusing on.

Now if we could just find a way to stop oppression of this type world wide we would be much better off.

Traditional spirituals have the "mumble/hum." Much of Josh's brilliance is that he actually *is* doing what is done. Have you ever heard any (like Whitney Phipps) sing Negro spirituals? There is, indeed, a lot of "mumble/hum" going on, as you term it. Whitney Phipps exhibits it really well; and most assuredly, he knows the words. 😊

"What would the white spirituals be?" This man has never heard of Ireland.

True comedian 😂😂😂. Just hilarious I can't stop watching this!

Thanks for talking about this interesting subject. I've been relooking into folk music and was surprised by so many cool artists not talked about. Example: - Rihannon Giddens in my opinion a musical historical storyteller. On the banjo and great voice - Sunny war on the guitar. Another great singer with a deep soulful voice - Elizabeth Cotton a stable within the folk musical scene. Amazing finger picking skillz Music has the ability to showcase history not talked about. Definitely check out those artists.

A ton of instruments have African origins...but the fiddle wasn't one of them. The instruments that led to the fiddle started in Mesopotamia, then moved to the Byzantine empire, then become widespread throughout Europe as part of large orchestras in the form of the viola. Renaissance music has a ton of stuff written for the viola for instance. The fiddle has essentially been in Europe for roughly 1700 years.

Yeah ofc, but his ''friend'' forgot to mention this. As well as the fact that african americans do not have a monopoly on suffering or being creative. Ignorance is bliss.
