The Lack Of Ad-Libbing/Runs In White Music Is A Direct Effect Of...

can't really take it over if they already own it.

Thats why he said authentically take it over. I don't understand how can white people can't take over a genre that was birthed from the oppression of black people by white people.

LOL GTFO. How in the world is a non black person expecting to sing like a person who actually grew up and lived within the culture.

A BANK$ is not going to adlib, riff and run like a Fantasia point blank period.

Its almost like extreme sense of entitlement, Like I can sing soul music better than a black person" ego trip. Like "how dare you negros tell me I have no soul even though my only frame of reference to the culture is the radio tv and youtube videos". If you really cared about the music you can easy integrate elements without coming off as prick. That's why Amy winehouse was great she didn't pretend to be this soulful ass singer. She expressed her inner self by adding elements of HER background to the music she loved.

It's ridiculous...

Songs like this captures what the OP is saying:



Mike just spazzed out from 2:15 on.

I was told that was straight through, first take. Mike was a freak of nature though so we cant hold other artists to his standards.

the ad-libs are part of syncopation...European music has syncopation on a simpler level and different from how African influenced syncopation works

You right op. As the water video shows We have a relationship with nature that Wytes can only dream of and mimic. Our music is a reflection of that. I saw some great examples posted. Look at mj perform man in the mirror At the Grammys and id love to know one white person that could do that. Answer is that they simply can't. No mater how much "blue eyed soul" they claim to have. Of course there are a few whyte singers who can sing, but they are truly the exceptions. And they still are laughable compared to the melanated ones

No one sings like my favorite singer Ali "Ollie" Woodson or Bobby Womack. You hear these notes & adlibs Ali's hitting? You get that sound & training in the churches which @PhonZhi & I think @Canadadry said as well.

I'm offended that he even made this thread. It's kind of a low key insult when you think about it.

You're white!!! Of course white people like you and @Burger King would feel insulted

Ive been called a "racist" many times here by whites like yall. Sorry if the truth hurts but yall are stereotyped as "bland" for a reason. Theres a few whites with soul and flavor but for the most part yall are just a bland, soulless people
