Is K POP just modern day blackface?

[DoubleClutch]

I know it’s probably been discussed here before

And We all know it is.

but at least other Asians are calling it out now.

Elvis stole from black musicians so why not Koreans

 

[Prince.Skeletor]

I went to my kids’s grade school.
All these kids listen to K-pop.

That video took the worst song I think
There are some dope songs

"K--POP" is Cultural Vulturism to the Extreme.

Globally People Steal Black Folks music, and cultural expressions and have the nerve to claim it as their own.

It is mimicry, and theft by people who over-all look down on actual Black People.

There is ZERO historical, cultural pathway for K-Pop to have formed organically, without hijacking Black American Music!

Is this opposite day?
That Filipino-looking guy talks like he's an AI or something.
This is worse than pot calling the kettle black.

 

[African Peasant]

No

 

[Mike Nasty]

Oh no! now the line has been crossed

Nothing wrong with what he did. He clearly understands how aave is used.

2NE1 or Super Junior aren't dealing with that . What kpop is trying to be hip hop

 

[Tribal Outkast]

Seems like lowkey promo to me

Exactly. Nothing creative or organic about that shyt.

If im a terrible rapper

Im taking my ass overseas and collab with those wack artists just to eat good and live a life of luxury

K-Pop is warped because it’s cultural appropriation distilled from cultural appropriation. It’s a super-stepped-on cocaine version of saccharine minstrelsy. That said, I’ve encountered a striking number of black folks in their late 20s who go to K-Pop shows. Imagine mainstream American culture b*stardizing your contributions and shytting them out its a$$hole and another country’s culture eating that shyt and then shytting out an even more watery pile of that culture, and then your grandchildren eating a plate of it with smiles on their faces.

 

[Insensitive]

Even worse when those same people can't support homegrown talent because "Muh nostalgia".

shyt is fukking crazy.

People are full of shyt. All it boils down to.

I absolutely hate that there is a whole generation of BLACK AMERICANS who don't listen to any Black Musicians
and instead listen to this derivative bullshyt.


Motherfukkers know Korean Rappers bars word for word but don't listen to anything (BLACK) American made.

Major labels need to pay for their complete fukking destruction of Black American (Popular) Music.

BTW.
Guess which departments and groups were effected when they did their recent rounds of layoffs?

So many Black and Brown faces got their careers cut short and upended.
