If a black girl did what Miley did she wouldn't have a #1 after that...

If Miley was a black girl and did all that at the VMAs the GP's reaction would've been the same.
Her performance wasn't controversial because she was white but because it was a hot mess the way she was using that foam finger and grinding up against Robin.
Again anyone could've done that and still it would have been controversial as ****

Has nothing to do with the fact if twerking is a black or a white thing.

We aren't talking about the GP reaction. We are talking about her becoming the face of twerking. The reason it's added to the dictionary. That whenever some mentions twerking, Miley's name follows shortly.

To each his own . I like Mack I liked his story and I'm glad he won .. Since Kendrick is good his next album will be good so he can snatch a Grammy then ..

No. Miley's twerking resulted in backlash but it can be argued that it helped her career in many ways and she got the attention she wanted. And then a #1 single and #1 album afterwards. If a black girl was up there doing that, they would've told her to go back to BET where she belongs. Miley isn't a good example though because she's from Disney and anything she does will rustle some feathers.

Sigh.
With white people being the standard for almost everything, this was inevitable. Not sure if I'm here for that though.

If you don't believe me. Then why is a white girl the face of twerking? When that's been around for 15+ years, & Beyoncé literally had a number one song about it.

Or Adele gets praised for singing literally Rhymth & Blues, like she invented it.

And the list goes on. Those kleptocasians will not stop until they've arrogated food seasoning and sickel cell.

"Kleptocasians" I choked.

I think it's expected. People in my generation grew up in a music industry dominated by hip hop. Nearly everybody at my school liked it, no matter their race.

That's...the point? The (white) GP was more concerned with the sexuality of the performance than the blatant racism and appropriation that was going on.

im not talking about her performance...I mean...ppl thinking Miley invented twerking in 2013

But what did you mean by her doing it better

OMG they taken over! Brooke please break out now!

Either way, I ain't hatin'. I like Iggy and Mack. Do them.

But I put my money where my mouth is. I bought Kendrick's album. I bought Jay's album. I bought Drake's album. I bought J. Cole's album. Radio is trying to shove these rappers down my throat while they play NO music from Black artists. I see what they're doing and the way I counteract it is controlling which music my money is spent on.

True. It sucks that awards, radio and magazines pay black artists dust though so they have a harder time rising up than white artists but then again this isn't new and happens with everything in life.

I bop to Fancy hardcore though idk why .
Iggy is annoying though.

Omggggg can you just imagine how twerking will become an acceptable form of dancing. That's what happens after reappropriation

[tittieslap]

Actually, Pop stations removing rap verses from songs isn't a race thing. It's a format thing. I live in New York and some of the Pop and Hot AC stations play "Problem" without Iggy's verses. Same with Dark Horse, E.T., Cali Gurls etc. They also love playing Jay-Z and give some airplay to hits on Rhythmic, so that theory doesn't make sense. Some stations feel like they turn off listeners by playing music from another format that doesn't really fit in too well. It's the same reason why very plain ballads and country songs are remixed to hopefully generate better appeal on pop.

So happy for hip-hop finally diversifying and allowing people of all colours to succeed.

Now, it's time for the likes of Sammy Adams and Hoodie Allen to rise and take advantage of much friendlier conditions to their success.
