Music Legendary Icon Revealed In Nobody Cages Me

In his new book, Nobody Cages Me, author Corey Washington give readers a concrete outline of Jimi Hendrix’s life as a famous artist. Frequent discussions on who’s the greatest guitarist of all time always bring the name Jimi Hendrix at the forefront. Especially in terms of greatest electric guitar.

While Hendrix is primarily looked at as a rock musician, he is more, according to Washington. From his beginnings on the R&B chitlin' circuit to his whirlwind international fame, he took from all sources musically. The consummate musician, Hendrix was looking for any and every opportunity to jam with like-minded musicians, who did not want to be caged by musical categories.

Almost by chance, Hendirx was involved in two pioneering performances that launched two genres that would dominate the African-American music scene for multiple decades (1970's—present). These genres are P-Funk and Hip-Hop. This book asserts that Hendrix was a pivotal player in two of the most dominant genres of African-American music after his death.
