Bruno Mars hammered for Cultural appropriation

[Pit Bull]

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.

But Bruno always admits where he got his whole style from so this kind of stupid. Hes never denied that his style is from Morris Day, Bobby Brown, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. He even went in a magazine and gave all the props to black music.

Black people don't want to be honest with themselves. They let the R&B genre go to shyt and Bruno(an outsider) built his style around the greatest sounds of R&B and now they're salty. Shouldn't of been letting Usher get away with making strip club songs and Chris Brown sing about unloyal hoes. That 80's R&B sound would still be not in use if Bruno wasn't using it so whats the point of being mad about it?

This!!
Bruno experimented with genre's we invented and threw away tell under 25s about funk and they'll say wtf is this. if he's making money of it then props to him.cacs acknowledged the past we don't then get mad when someone else does and reinstates it.

And why is they got nikkas from all over Africa and the Caribbean in the room and talkin about some black culture. There is no such thing as black culture. Africans and Caribbean nikkas should have no say so in African American culture just like we have no say so in theirs. American Negros is too damn koonbuya for they own good.

This is part of the problem. non-AA people speakin on AA culture and giving the green light for other groups to jack the shyt.

Yep. If Bruno were a breh, many blacks wouldnt have fukked with him like that cuz his music isnt on some hood/street type shyt. They would call a black artist like him today a cornball and not support. They been stopped giving a fukk about the type of sounds he uses but now wanna act like they give a shyt cuz a non black is using the sound to make hits. nikkas are the reason why black artists gotta be in a box now to be heard, and even then blacks dont support like that

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

You don't get to pick and choose what you consider culture or not. Basketball was started by a white dude, played predominantly by white people.

That is/was part of their culture much like baseball and football is part of American white culture.

Football and especially baseball is still very much a part of white American culture, but because the NBA is dominated by black ahtletes, it is now seen in a different spectre.

Frankly who gives a shyt. If the product is good, consumers will consume it. All these complaining just reeks of insecurity and jealousy.

 

[Bolzmark]

The criticism of Bruno is stupid. Dude ACKNOWLEDGED his influences. I'm feeling like to a certain extent, this comes from some bitterness and jealousy. Certain artists that feel they have not had the success they deserve see Bruno selling millions and winning Grammys and it fukks with them a little bit.

 

[Pit Bull]

really breh?

A big really. We bout the only silly muthafukkas that cape for other races even at the expense of our own. Don't stick together for shyt.

 

[Bolzmark]

There is some inherent racism in the phrase "cultural appropriation"...basically it says that if you are not a member of this race, yet you do something that members of this race is known for, you are guilty of cultural appropriation. Can you imagine if a white person said that about a black person that sang opera?

 

[Another Man]

Black people Don fell the fukk offy'all in here defending this brown cac. Boy you nikkas is fukkin lost. No other group in the world would go against their own except for you dumb ass nikkas.

On a similar note how they Jumpin all over this sweet boy but post Malone, the white boy that wack100 knocked out, Justin Beiber, Eminem ****** tapes, Mikey cyrus, all these nonblack rappers saying nikka these days and you go after gay ass almost harmless Bruno marsnikkas should have went after all them.

That reminds me of another part of the problem now that you mentioned rap and outsiders. The lack of respect that many blacks have for their own culture, especially those who paved the way. Like we have cac soundcloud rappers like lil xan feeling comfortable enough to openly disrespect pac, now you have that c00n ass greedo fakkit cosigning him too. The fukk? Then nikkas wonder why outsiders think its cool to just waltz in and exploit. nikkas dont respect their own shyt and open the door!

Facts

 

[Bolzmark]

The chick with the long braids literally was saying that Bruno Mars was stealing music from other black artists, which I agree is wrong if he is in fact doing that, but she is saying it's WORSE because he is not black? That's fukkin bullshyt.

 

[CASHAPP]

So she dismisses Michael Jackson, who was one of the top 3 most popular music artists of all time, to argue he doesn't really count because...why exactly. First off MTV never banned black videos and Billy Jean was not the first black video on the station. Second off Michael Jackson was never ambiguous about the blackness of his music; you can say what you want about his face/color but he blew up doing r&b, not white pop.

Bruno Mars isn't the problem. I have zero issue with his work, which is largely written by black songwriters. And while you can say he isn't black I'm not sure how much it matters when he's a dark, non-white faced dude. This isn't some Sam Smith looking ass dude. He looks black. A lot of white people think he's black/mixed. If you want to make arguments about non black artists making black music and going far...point to Adele. Not Bruno.

She acknowledges black music is the dominant force of music right now without also acknowledging that the biggest artists in music right now are largely black. Drake, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Kendrick, Kanye...that's who is driving music. White people have no issue consuming black music through black people. Do they identify more with certain white artists? Of course. A fat black woman would never reach Adele's heights today, making the exact same music. Aretha Franklin was never as popular as Adele. But going back to the original point...Michael Jackson was more popular than Bruno Mars. Janet Jackson was more popular than any white female artist today.

Bruno Mars has a machine behind him. I'd argue that the fact that he had to make gimmick karaoke music to extend his career says more about the power of music labels than it does about white people not wanting xyz from black faces. Anyone think Rihanna wouldn't destroy sales records if she made gimmicky remakes of Janet Jackson shyt? What about Beyoncé? They can all do what Bruno does on a bigger scale, yet don't.

Wait hold up...Bruno doesn't write his songs?

Are you sure about this? I thought he did and that he even wrote for other artists like Cee-Lo Green? Please fact check and let me know if that is true. Because if so then i got fooled again. I remember back when i was thinking Adele wrote her own music too. I mean if its true Bruno still a talented ass motherfukker and nothing is wrong with not writing with your songs at all. I'm not one of those people obsessed if artists don't do it.

But it does shut up people who put artists on a pedastal like this and act like they do everything just to shyt on other artists who don't write.
