this is big isn't he a democrat how could he be racist energy lmao dude we can't evaluate people, especially white people (in regards to racial issues), on their membership in organizations we need to evaluate them based on their actions especially recent ones

also history and membership doesn't mean anything look up Bayard Rustin

Blues was inspired by slave songs and gospel what

Being forced to assimilate to western culture isn’t the same as appropriating Destiny is a f***in moron

@op racist

You right I got all those YouTubers mixed up wit each other

their friends tho so I was close

This is weird because he debated a caller recently who was arguing this and he was laughing at him for sounding stupid

I think there are also good examples of culture being integrated into another culture vs just being used for profit with no regard for the history

I’m doing a dive into the history

Just to find out the first recorded jazz song was by these white guys

99% copied is insane considering that there are west african musical genres predating colonialism that show clear lineage to african American musical genres

Especially rhythmically

So who's willing to represent KTT2 on the live debate with him

Yeah the use of complex rhythms and polyrhythms from West Africa is an inherent part of spirituals and work songs which inspired blues and so on

Also the “call and response” pattern of blues comes from music of Africa too

stop listening to youtubers

i don't disagree it's just about (as cliche and tumblr-y as i may sound) showing respect for the culture and being aware of your privilege. you can't change your color or privilege in life, and that's ok, but are you willing to use it to shine a light on those who don't have it? are you willing to use it to give back MATERIALLY to those who don't have it? i think if you can do those things and know/respect the history of the genre and the culture, you'll be fine and be more than accepted

jack harlow makes very white music and i'm not gonna pretend like i listen honestly, but he at least clearly cares about rap music even if its bare minimum s*** and so no one gets upset at him for that because its genuine.

people have a problem with those dipping their toe in rap music only when they show they don't care and are there for nothing but profit. i also don't listen to eminem but no one really gets mad at eminem or sees him as a vulture

!!!!!!! yup

and those slave hymns and such that inspired and eventually indirectly lead to rap music intrinsically have the rhythmic dna of the african cultures the first slaves were part of before being kidnapped

Loud and wrong.

And probably white.

"I've sent you pictures of my d*** plz respond."

lock thread ban op

Bozo thinks cus they use instruments popularized in europe that the genre becomes 99% classical European when the actual innate qualities of the music are unique to the culture

Horrible take

Beethoven to NWA doesn’t compute

exactly swing comes from africa

i’m pretty sure i’ve seen clips from his streams of him saying some weird stuff

plus he is friends with that nick dude that kanye is sucking off

This take has the same energy as those white YouTubers that would use the n word cause otherwise they’d be “giving the word more power”

Its the other way around i am from germany and they be stealing everything from the us

that nick guy is a self identified christian white nationalist btw

that was a wild era how did niggas let that s*** slide
