why should we diversify to white artist when we have the goat artists in all walks of music?:mjlol:
:why:No one said to diversify specifically to white artists....in my opinion you should let your mind be open to all types of music. It's the same if a white kid doesn't know who Bob Marley is....i'm giving them the :what:look too cuz I thought at least 7/10 people know who he is

If the Beatles were black... They'd be gods on here :snoop:

I wouldn't be surprised if the Doobie Brothers were more popular amongst blacks than the Beatles. Real talk. If you like the Beatles' music then that's great, but don't come at us as if we're supposed to be ashamed because we don't love them like you do. They're not that great.

The Beatles was a significant figure in music history. They are iconic much like Ali and Jordan are in sports.

If you are into music and do not know Paul McCartney, it's like a sports fan not knowing who Ali is. And that is also pretty common in young people today.

While I do like their music now, I didn't grow up listening to the beatles nor have I heard anyone who I grew up with(friends, people from school, etc...) talk about them. If it wasn't for last fm, I probably would still be in the dark about them outside of a few commercials.

I feel you but you're missing the point.....people out here don't know their history or don't care for it. All they see is what's going on right now. It's like when people say Kobe is better than Jordan, Floyd Mayweather is the GOAT period, people talk hip hop but don't mention Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, etc.....I even heard a young girl say that Tamar Braxton is better than Toni :mindblown: not even knowing that half the entertainment out now was influenced by people who are "irrelevant" by today's standards

my sister in law who is about 23 tried went to the Frankie Beverly & Maze/Tamar Braxton concert last night. Before the concert she said,

"Who is Frankie Beverly and Maze" :dwillhuh:

She spent 100 dollars on a ticket to see Tamar Braxton and didn't even know/give a fukk about Maze. I didnt have the energy to school her on Maze, but I did say:

"For a 100 bucks it better be Toni Braxton up there singing too....nude :smugfavre:"

She tells me:

"Tamar Braxton is a much better singer than Toni" :beli:
"She can hit notes that Toni can't hit" :beli:

"Toni Braxton can only make slow songs, Tamar is versatile" :beli:

She was dead ass serious.
