Tariq is a Bruno Mars fan and a fan of that style of music in general so it was expected he would take his side. I personally think Bruno is teetering on the cultural appropriation line but he does give props to all the black musicians that came before him.
He's been making that style of music since he came out.....I personally don't like his shyt but I blame the higher ups that are isolating black artists that are more talented/creative in the same lane.
It's frustrating seeing how much he's dominating the charts when there's no competition being let in to challenge the throne
Mainstream is dead anyway, why are people still fussing? People are stupid not going fully independent, they don't even make CD's anymore, what's the excuse?
