One "black" form of music that I am starting to appreciate is jazz, particularly that of the stuff from the 1930's - 1960's. This started out as being seen as "black" music before it was widely accepted, and the musicians involved were quite skilled.
The thing is though, it seems mainstream black culture has largely abandoned jazz in modern times. I suppose because rap and r&b are easy to produce and do not require any degree of musical skill with an instrument so that is why it has largely supplanted other forms of music, if you could call the latter "music" at all.
