Bruno Mars hammered for Cultural appropriation

[El Bombi]

For the last time ... Teddy Riley said he ain’t mad and added that he’s doin his thing... so why the fukk are y’all mad again?!!

Y’all allowed this to happen ...
...go make a full black Bruno and/or put your money behind other black nostalgia pop r&b acts...

... otherwise

I wonder what D-Train have to say about 24K Magic.

 

[Dwight Howard]

Nah. He's appropriating black music and packaging it for white consumption, including a few token black backups in the mix so that there's a whiff of authenticity that isn't so overbearing as to repel his targeted white base. More talented black r&b artists, with the exception of one or two, don't receive nearly the level of backing and exposure that he does.

how is that his fault? im not even a fan of bruno...but...i dont see how he gets blame here. he's said he is influenced by black artist pretty often. are you saying he isnt allowed to be influenced by black music if he isnt black

Bruno doesnt have an album better than kaleidoscope dream

Bruno is a way better singer than Miguel breh.

That’s his fault how?

And, to add insult to injury, they are never better than the black artists that are given 1/2 the exposure & even less money for their art.

Jill Scott is better than anyone you named. Go to any local church & find a breh that can do cleaner runs than Sam Smith. JT is a joke. Don’t even get me started on unsung & soulful artists like Anthony Hamilton & Jaheim.

Sam Smith's high notes legit sound like a bird getting run over by a car

That joint with John Legend had me like

What about the listeners?

Some of us have entirely too much time on our hands.

J Cole is a karaoke rapper. So is Kendrick.

We are having a hard time evolving the culture because we aren’t “struggling” anymore.

Listeners listen. The execs are the gatekeepers that allow listeners to decide. A listener can only listen to what the execs allow to be played and promoted. There are cats like me that get hip to indie artist thru websites blogs message boards social media word of mouth etc but most people still look towards mainstream media outlets for new artist and or music

"Come with it my man?

yea these women in this video dont have a clue what they are talking about. "MJ's career took lots of work..like plastic surgery"...

MJ was gonna be MJ in most eras.

comparing prince and Bruno mars

the men make sense and thinking with logic, these women just sound emotional.

"bruno hasnt done enough to be influenced by black artist"

"bruno not helping any black artist by be influence by black artist"

horrible takes

Facts

 

[Hungerpain]

Finesse just recently got used that way... prior to now finesse was used as the dictionary version.

So?
They just wanted a reason and a way to incorporate two "cool" words in they bullshyt song and it sounds dumb because this not 1880's and everybody know what finesse mean now and why they using it.

Sam Smith completely copied Tank singer voice.

Every time he comes out with a song. I would think it's Tank at first.

Black lingo isnt the same regionally just saying.

Not to mention "finesse" was an actual word before it became slang


On God, this is one of the dumbest sites I frequent
