Why do we not have black/AA bands anymore?

[YakSpiller]

Not those kinds of bands...we got those on deck.



Musical Bands.

With how easy it is to create music now you would think bands(RnB, Funk, Blues or even Alt) would be a thing still.

The Internet
TV On The Radio
Of course the goats The Roots

Put me on some because this is crazy to me.

I know labels like to market shyt like all black bands(I would think) so I don't think its labels per se.

This.
Like how many bands or groups do you see nowadays?
With technology everyone can be their own star....no one wants to work with other people.
That's all genres of music now.

You can still have a band digitally/Electronic...Synths, samplers and drum machines maybe a couple live instruments.

I feel like we coulda took thrash metal to a new level. It was kind of already street, lots of other minorities were into it. It was political. We coulda made it less corny.

Theres a Swedish band called Carnal Forge that has their Black Singer back. He's pretty dope. Thrash is almost like rap almost
