Why are some Blacks quick to rock AC/DC and Guns & Roses shirts?

[MikeyC]

This thread is such an embarrassment.



Black people aren't wearing these t-shirts cos they wanna be white or some other bullshyt, it's purely because these type of tees on trend.

Some might actually like the band on the t-shirt they're wearing, but on the whole, most are wearing them because it's fashionable.

Why not wear Earth, Wind & Fire or Isley Brothers shirts?

Oh, that's right, you want to impress white people. "Look, I'm totally awesome sauce!"

black folks failed to pass on beautiful tradition that blossom when we were raising hell in this country and we want to ask why they don't respect the culture?lol

 

[little4209]

damn! this has been my idea for the longest....i wanna put some of our own musical bands on tees tho

 

[VICVALLIN]

Why are those considered hood movies, they have million dollar budgets. A good movie would be like killa season

nikka don't be dense. Does the hood consider these movies classic? Killa season is just a hood movie. ain't nobody mentioning that shyt in the same breath as boyz in the hood or even menace 2 society.

One in a Million (Guns N' Roses song) - Wikipedia

Police and ******s, that's right
Get outta my way
Don't need to buy none of your
Gold chains today

In a '89 Rolling Stone interview, Rose explained the lyrics "I used words like police and ******s because you're not allowed to use the word ******. Why can black people go up to each other and say, "******," but when a white guy does it all of a sudden it's a big put-down. I don't like boundaries of any kind. I don't like being told what I can and what I can't say. I used the word ****** because it's a word to describe somebody that is basically a pain in your life, a problem. The word ****** doesn't necessarily mean black. Doesn't John Lennon have a song "Woman Is the ****** of the World"? There's a rap group, N.W.A., ******s with Attitude. I mean, they're proud of that word. More power to them. Guns N' Roses ain't bad. . . . N.W.A. is baad!

Before the release of Lies, the other members of the band tried in vain to make Rose drop the track from the record.[5] Fellow GN'R member, Slash, whose mother is black, noted that he did not condone the song but did not condemn his bandmate, commenting in a 1991 interview with Rolling Stone:"When Axl first came up with the song and really wanted to do it, I said I didn't think it was very cool... I don't regret doing 'One in a Million', I just regret what we've been through because of it and the way people have perceived our personal feelings."

There is but this thread is also full of that same mentality I see around here which is 'other people should do it'

There's clearly a demand for said shirts. I'm just asking why hasn't anybody hopped on the bullet.

I've never seen an Isleys shirt in my life.

I watched a documentary called Electric Purgatory a few years back where Vernon Reid from Living Colour said their label refused to put them on black radio Rock is literally blues with distortion. Going Down Slow by Howlin Wolf sounds no different than some of the 90s grunge and nu metal. I know this is a troll thread but people don't realize how labels socially conditioned black folks into boxing themselves into certain genres.

facts.......all true but I do find itwhen people do what the op is speaking about

It's always a issue with you dudes on here.

Can y'all write a handbook or something?

 

[YakSpiller]

I like black and white rock music. I don't care.

Why do we as black men always gotta fit a certain mold? Why can't I like certain things and still be pro black?

If I see a dope Isley Bro T or a dope Stevie T or a dope Led Zep or whatever I'm go rock it if I like the graphic or music/album.

Would proudly rock the first joint as that album is classic to me but L7 was trash, one of Rick's worst albums imo.

Sound like fonk to me
