When did black people stop setting trends in entertainment?

[Wild self]

Back in the day, black folk set the trends and the fashions of everything. Dance moves, quotes, clothing styles, everything that we did in the past we started and innovated. Now, white folk are doing that shyt and black folk are following them more than ever. When did the switch occur?

back 10 years ago when baggy clothes were popular, black folk led the charge in the fashion world. We had other people trying to duplicate us and we did set the trends in music. Now? We have little black kids thinking that its cool to dress and look like Justin Bieber.

Justin Bieber is what happens when we allow white people to use our style.
They get the credit for what we started.

He took his style off of Usher and put his CAC twist on it.

Came in here to say this. This plus Dipset & Lil Wayne pushing the rock star swag in 06-07 flipped the script.

Like Elvis all over again. But I think the next batch of creativity is going to be more complex or unique in the wake of Yeezus, Magna Carta, etc
