it's funny how rock and its sub-genres variants has been so mixed with hip-hop in recent years but at same time rappers that keep acting and calling themselves "rockstars" always praises white rock bands/artists smh

where's Prince, Jimi Hendrix, Funkadelic praise by modern black artists?

OP u spitting, where the hell is the Bloc Party praise?

On a real note, this album slapped

Prince & Funkadelic arent considered "Rock" to most people - its pop/rnb & Funk to most

Jimi is loved hell of even by Rappers & is T shirted and postered to hell like Bob Marley

People do love Prince hell of

Funadelic is one of the stepping stones for Rap & especially West Coast - while some artists like Kendrick & Snoop have literally featured them

Some rappers have mentioned the likes of BB King n Sly Stone as well

But overall yeah i agree

Dark Side of Da Moon Fest 2023 in 34 days show up or throw up!!!!!!

Truth is the best rock comes from emotionally damaged or troubled people, so generally white people

Part of that is the whitewashing of rock and the ppl not knowing the history and niggas started all this s***.

Yasiin bey one of the few that gave love to bad brains and fishbone.

Case in point, dumb posts like this ^^^

1st punk band was literally some niggas out of Detroit

If you consider s*** like The Ojs etc. as " "Rock" " too they are also mentioned.

I just think a lot of Black bands arent what people consider "straight up Rock" or the stereoetype nowadays.

But they are an influence - just might not be listed as a " "Rock" " influence.

A lot of it is more considered their other influences to people nowadays. Such as Jazz, Funk, Blues, RnB & Pop. Yeah theyre a band and technically Rock as well but its that a lot of people dont think of them as " "Rock" " today minus a few.

Regardless tho of genre semantics some Rappers newer and especially older do list them as influences tho.

It’s just objectively true, this is not to say there are not some great black rock groups and artists

And of course they invented rock too

I luv Steve lacy!!

It's crazy how most of niggas that "listen to rock sometimes" don't fw or don't know Jimi Hendrix, for example.
Jimi Hendrix literally birthed the rockstar image and the modern rock, including the sub-genres

I've seen more praise for him amongst white people than black people lol

Most of these rappers are drawing inspiration from metal and punk specifically. There aren’t really many prominent black bands in that sub genre for them to name

i love lil uzi vert

i mean i like black metal
