Does Bruno Mars have the best scam in music right now?

[Mosiah Supreme]

Ain't he part black himself?

fukk no

Ain't he part black himself?

No. Nothing Black about him. He's a FLIP.

Its hard AF to argue that he doesn't. Dude has some talent but his shyt is so painful to listen to if you're not into that type of music (which most people shouldn't be)

 

[B86]

Been said this. Dude is a scam artist. He’s a culture biting mediocre wannabe Black ass.

He gets a pass because he does a semi decent impersonation of James Brown but at the core of it, dude is average at best.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but my thing is, how the hell are we getting mad at dude for "jacking" anything if we don't take advantage of the situations ourselves (btw, is he black, mixed, mexican?)?

All I hear from our R&B artists is fukkin, smoking, eating ass, breaking up, and partying...who's fault is it for not snapping out of the bullshyt and coming up with dope concepts?

 

[Rack4K]

Talented dude but thread is true. He’s on of those dudes from outside the culture who looks for components to utilize from our culture whenever he can.

 

[Kyle C. Barker]

They're gonna hate you for this but yeah he's definitely got a gimmick.

Coli posters will just come back with "he's talented though"

 

[Remote]

He makes catchy songs but I don’t consider him to be a great artist.

Good performer tho.

Its not so much that they are signing about its the fact they move like rappers and less like R&B singers their is no range in vocals no high notes no break downs or bridges

 

[Ghost Utmost]

His shyt is dope.

If rehashing ideas is a problem then we've got to reject 75% of all art.

I haven't heard where he copied or covered another song yet but I am far from being enough of a fan to pour over his shyt. I just hear stuff on the radio or w/e.

So if he's accused of sounding similar..

Wait til y'all hear my shyt. I rap but niqqas gonna be like "I remember this from 95" when I made it last year. (My style has never changed since that era so one might think I was trying to sound old school, but that's just my style.)

 

[chiefdogg]

His main co-writer is black, his band is black, and he pays homage to black music, he's cool with me

This and my question is how come black Pop/RnB artist aren't doing this?

 

[levitate]

Breh on first page said he couldn't help but shake his azz...

Yeah, that's kinda what I was getting at. The R&B songs have trap beats (or maybe I should say they have hiphop drum patterns) and the subject matter is damn near the same as rap nowadays. There's a lack of musical talent. That's what I mean when I say who's fault is it that our R&B artists aren't thinking outside the box and coming up with new, dope concepts?

Nothing wrong with restoring the feeling




Music has gotten too dark and explicit, even love songs


Bruno bringing that feel good music back
