Yes.

careful sis. you dont want to disagree with their opinion or you will be labeled as a "hater" or "racist"

Yeah i don't like you.

But it's true. Colonise our land, desecrate our women/children, pillage our supplies. It's been happening since slavery (haha oh yeah that little ting) and it won't ever stop.

Oh well, at least we have Rihanna and you don't. HAHA!

and there it is. im ready for this thread to be closed in 3...2...

How old are you

Yas. Frank Ocean and D'Angelo. But why is everything Hip Hop/Rap? I vote No, not really. No Michael or Bob Marley in that bunch.

.

Yup

yes and bjork

No. White indie artists and Rihanna make the best music.

How are you gonna reply to your own post, telling yourself to stay mad?

Anyway, I think this is subjective. Everyone can be a critic.

I dont know a single relevant asian in the music market.

And what does that have to do with the quality of their music?

In any case, art is the one context I can think of where color and race shouldn't be considered at all. The artists' personal backgrounds and experiences are important, but the emphasis should be on the product they create, not on their race.

Clearly. That's why whites get all the acclaim when they copy blacks see: Sam Smith, Adele, etc.

If you can't understand it when it's explained to you so eloquently, then you're clearly just a pressed idiot.

No, a lot of black people actually agree with Kali.'s point, especially the older generations. Most just plain hate trap music. And we'll only call you racist when you blatantly are or you do something that warrants it, such as those implying certain people look like animals for example.

Not a single one of those albums is game changer. Some are nice, but most just follow the status quo formula. The reason some of those albums in the OP are rated so highly is because they push boundaries, whether is be musically or culturally. Kendrick's album, for example, is him pouring his heart and soul out, and he challenges american society to look at itself again and address its problems, and he executes it with amazing artistic caliber. Every album you listed is for the most part catered to just having radio hits, pandering to pop. Cool, but not very special or ground-breaking.

The same could be said for the terrible white artists that have emerged in the last few years. Macklemore, Justin Bieber, Iggy Azalia and Meghan Trainor are worse than both of those artists you listed. Then you have people like Riff Raff with his cornrows, gold teeth and bling virtually mocking black culture. Yeah that's a negative stereotype.

The best and the worst I suppose.

omg



legitimately considering adding this post to my sig

the delusion is real, ATRL

MJ, Janet, Whitney, Mariah, Prince, Stevie... that was the true generation of black talent
I'm probably forgetting a lot, but slay anyway

Not this generation... Always
