We Talked to the Woman Who Reignited the Bruno Mars Cultural Appropriation Debate

I love how a bunch of no talent internet nerds are talking about "our" music. Like bytch, why don't you make better music than Bruno then? Oh that's right, you work in IT, can't sing, can't dance and have no stage presence. But you just happen to be the same race as Bobby Brown, so it's "your" music. I bet you brag about when "your" team wins the Super Bowl too, "we won". Yeah, you won the Super Bowl in Cheetos stained sweats from the floor of your studio apartment.

The cacness










Mexicac possible

The anger here isn’t because Bruno Mars does black music, they’re angry because white people would rather listen to Bruno Mars than your average black R&B artist. Which again comes down to craving white acceptance.

Don’t take out your white acceptance mental illness on Bruno Mars.

This a such a Big Facts.

Why I can't take none of them seriously. Shiit is a clown show.

 

[Fani Willis fan]

LOL bruno mars is not the problem
This is the reason why i say aframs need cultural reform
the reason why i say our fickle nature will doom us in the end. From a cultural perspective, in this case music culture

we culturally abandon things and leave behind these huge vacant lots
Than get mad when outsiders take over them and build skyscrapers on them

You will see a spike in misinformed Aframs who never gave af about being pro-black prior to watching Black Panther. They will pick the wrong hills to die on, and the actual issues will continue to snowball smh

Funny how the same people that are shytting on the girl in the video, are the same people that shyt on Justin Timberlake for copying black culture.

I've never seen so many inconsistent flip-flopping ass nikkas in my life.

I shyt on JT for being disrespectful towards our Culture and being a wigga when convenient.

But what she's saying is just plain jiberish.

Its almost like her and her types, are new to this society.

 

[Real]

So lame

Completely b*stardized the word cultural appropriation

 

[Wear My Dawg's Hat]

I'm not caping or anyone and I'm damn sure not emotional about any of this shyt because I dgaf. But please give me a list of all the popular black artists out now who are making money solely appealing to a black audience.

And I'm actually asking because I'd be more than happy to hear some names and check out new music.

This is the key issue.

The current generation of under 40 black folk are not as passionate about music as previous black generations.

So they are seeking white consumer music support WITHOUT establishing a large, devoted black music fanbase.

There are many reasons for this.

However, the fact remains that the core black culture that sustained everyone and everythingfrom Louis Armstrong and Motown, to Go-Go, Right On Magazine, Hip hop, Soul Train and Frankie Beverly, disappeared in the mid 90s.

Prior to this, Luther Vandross was able to sell millions of records and millions in concert ticket sales
to an almost exclusively black audience. Same thing for Curtis Mayfield and the Impressions. Same thing
for Freddie Jackson. Same thing for Phyllis Hyman. Same thing for Anita Baker when she debuted with "Angel." Same thing for Whodini. Same thing for Lord Finesse. Same thing for Teena Marie other than "Lovergirl."

When will we address the death of confident black music culture within the historic, Descendants of the United States' Slave Trade black culture?

Or is it just easier to complain about Bruno Mars while making Apple, Sprint, YouTube and Twitter richer as you do it?

 

[Master Teacher]

its some dumb muthafukkaz on this site

nikkaz talking about "what about the NBA"

nikkaz talking about "but she wearing a sport shirt"

Cultural Appropriation is taking over and profiting from ones culture

The NBA is not a culture it is a business, basketball is not a culture it is a game

when black people play basketball they bring black culture with him because they are black, basketball did not start out with AND1 lmao it looked like the brady bunch

There wasn't any dunks until black players brought what they did in the neighborhood to the NBA

Lastly, the NBA is a white owned organization they are exploiting the black players not the other way around

CLOTHES ARE NOT CULTURE FOR ALL YOU DUMB ASS CACS

If I put on a kufi right now, does that make me the same culturally as a muslim in Jordan, now you dumb muthaufckaz, I'm just a nikka wearing a kufi

A nikka wearing a polo shirt ain't gonna get them admission into the country club jack, fukk outta here

Then you had the dumb ass who said the ol girl calls herself sensei so she cultural vulturing asians lmao

She's not profiting off that or claiming it has her on invention

you see the difference between cacs who are vultures is they suck a culture try until the orginators are gone

Look at MMA, before world war II brazilians ain't no shyt about no goddamn jiujitsu lmao

a japanese man taught some cac in brazil judo, the first thing he do with the knowledge is start challenging people to fights who aren't even professionals, and make a business out of a martial art acting like HE CREATED IT

HAD THE NERVE TO CALL THE shyt BRAZILIAN JIUJITSU WHICH IS AN OXYMORON IN ITSELF LMAO

So when people think of jiujitsu they think of Gracie and not the japanese man who taught him, thats cultural appropriation

Watching both episodes of the Grapevine AfroPunk/YouTube children talk about Bruno Mars, it is
evident just how superficial their knowledge is about the black music they say they're
trying to protect.

Its as if all they can reference from the past are Prince and Michael Jackson.

Apparently, they have been uninterested in the rest of their parents' and grandparents' vinyl, cassettes, 8-tracks and CDs collections.

I'd love to hear from them how The Jets were able, as a non-black American family from Tonga,
to dominate black radio in the mid 80s, and then cross over to pop success?

Where were the complaints about "cultural appropriation" against The Jets in 1985?

This is true and that’s what I’ve been saying. Remember when people were picking up a Jet/Essence/Right On/Word Up/ Source magazine and were able to get to know artists. Remember when the label would push one song but the b side song would catch on and blow out the intended single? People are still making the “labels are pushing certain artists” narrative but I thought it was supposed to be better now. Yeah people are touring and they’re making money but nikkas don’t know who they are. A lot of past artists made it from some shyt that would never happen now. Artists songs blew up strictly off of radio, an artist would blow up because they were looking good as hell in a magazine, Apollo or some other music show, etc. We have to figure out how to get these million click YouTube artists more popular than they actually are.

 

[Ripp]

lmao... bruno look mad put of place in that cardi b video..didnt look like his environment at all.... firsttime I ever saw bruno mars besides when he leg dropped the white bytch
