Hearing is superficial. Anybody that has functioning ears can hear, but it takes real effort to LISTEN... Fuck your argument Wesley Snipes. Wasn't Hendrix part Native American as well? Not exactly purebred "black". Besides, can a god like Jimi be pigeonholed by some dumbshit in the back seat?

Not true you should learn your history. Jimi came out of the school of Muddy Waters,Howling Wolf which was not popular in America by any race. He went to England because Clapton and that ilk dug Blues which was more what was currently popular in the UK. Most Black People? I can promise you that Black People didn't ALL LIKE MOTOWN as much as you think. That's Stereotyping. That's like saying all white people like Radiohead and Mumford and Sons. My grandparents were into Coltrane,Miles Davis in the 60's which wasn't exactly Motown. My parents were into Isley Brothers and bands like The Meters and WAR. That's not motown. Also remember white people bought motown just as much as black people. Also Jimi's was heavily influenced by Curtis Mayfeild

Sidney is talking about how you have to HEAR, not just listen to, great music to appreciate it, So Billy plays another example of great music (albeit from another genre) and Sidney doesn't even want to listen to it, much less hear it. If he cannot hear George Jones, can he even hear Jimi? Credibility blown.

How on Earth is "He Stopped Loving Her Today" underrated? It's widely considered to be the greatest country song ever written. In 1980, this single is probably what revived George Jones's career. It was nominated for a Best Country Grammy. Jones won the Grammy for Best Male Country Performance on the strength of the single. It won the CMA song of the year. It's 142 on The Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs list. Finally, the single has sold over half a million copies. Once again, widely considered to be the greatest country song ever. That's not underrated.

It's the other way around. Hearing is the act of experiencing the sound. Listening is the act of understanding the sound. Snipes offers up the argument that white people are too busy intellectualizing music to experience the sensation of the sound, which is to him what Jimmy Hendrix music is all about. The audience is led to believe though that Snipe's character is actually being disingenuous. He's really just making up some excuse to say that white people can't appropriate a black person's music and treat it as their own. In other words, Snipe's character has a racist chip on his shoulder (as many people who are subject to racism often do). The girl responds to Snipes, "You are so busy hearing you don't understand what you are listening to - Jimmy Hendrix's band is white." In effect she responds, "Dig this. What you are listening to isn't one race's music, but all races, and you don't get to be a gate keeper to say whether or how someone listens to it." This upsets him, because he was wanting to own his white friend. The white friend, Woody, responds, "Fine, you want to own Jimi Hendrix, I'm not going to argue. I'm going to listen to some distinctively white music." He puts on some George Jones. But this offends the black friend again. Not only does Wesley Snipe's character lack the common cultural framework to appreciate George Jones, but he's not even interested in trying. He doesn't want to hear (experience) or to listen (understand). This is a metaphor for Snipe's inability to see Woody's character as anything but White, while Woody's character (for all his self-destructive habits) has transcended race to the extent that he is comfortable in both cultures.
