Thanks for that good Breh.
The number one cultural influence on the globe as far as music type shyt is obviously the Black Church. Gospel to secular soul to modern popular music. Including Rock, Country, and even sounds from foreign countries like Jamaica. Even Afrobeats draws from Black American music in plenty of ways.
If Busta was in front of me right now I wouldn't tell him that he's not allowed to speak on it or that we have everlasting beef. I would just tell him what I wrote above.
Same as when niqqas told me The Chronic was better than Bacdafucup. We argued for days and weeks but we never became true adversaries.
We have 80s and 90s Hip Hop vs everything after 2005. We have RnB vs Hip Hop. We have pop vs underground. All these convos I have with close friends and fam.
Yet we still don't see each other as adversaries.
