  IMO only blacks could coin such fancy catchy terms as Jazz, Rock 'n' roll, Funk, Hip hop, Andrea 3000, JZ, DMX ,Blues and so on. They often short and punchy.:D    Exactly, you are just like the rest of the afro centrist Blacks. You think any catchy jazzy terminology and slang must surely be of Black origin! Because...because..White people ain't got no style yo! The fact is...JAZZ is and always has been a White originated word. By the way that band I showed you in the picture, the first jazz band to ever be recorded all the way back in 1917.....They were also the first band to use the word Jazz in their name. Coincidentally, all White. Jazz is a White slang term not Black, so is the Blues. Rock N' Roll I have no clue where that term came from I'll have to do some reserach. Hip hop and funk I don't disagree there, they must surely be black terms. But Jazz and the Blues are and always have been White terms. I didn't take the time to read that article you posted, too long I don't have the time, but if it says Jazz is a Black term than they are wrong, it's not. Sorry.    PS-Oh yes, DMX is such a catchy fancy name...not really it's just three letters. But do you know where the (c)rapper DMX got that name??   Simmons took the professional name DMX, after the Oberheim DMX, an early drum machine. He later adapted the name to mean Divine Master of the Unknown [X] and later changed it again to mean Dark Man X [1].   He took the name DMX from the Oberheim DMX drum machine that he used to use! Tom Oberheim the inventor of the Oberheim DMX was of German ancestry by the way. Yes only Blacks can come up with these ever so catchy names...
