I'm not even black, but most of my faves are. Good music is good music. It has no bounds.

Naa, that is subjective, critics may think that is a masterpiece while the GP don't give a **** about it so it is kinda accurate but not completely.

I wanted to have an intelligent conversation which is why I provided receipts and not just opinions.

You provided receipts about black artists having high metacritic scores which is about quality and has nothing to do with having the best music. Your receipts just prove that black artists have high metacritic scores. What if I want to use sales as a measure? Then Adele, Taylor Swift and P!nk make the best music. Or what if I want to use my opinion because afterall we decide what music is the "best".

Technically, they have done very well with critics.
In my personal opinion? No.

Well, metacritic scores prove that they have. But quality of music is relative so I might say no from my personal view.
