OPINION Is Bruno Mars a culture vulture?

[Mister]

I have BM's "unorthodox jukebox" and that shit knocks...not one time did i listen to it with a pov to see who he was trying to emulate. Its a dope cd.

This. My brother-in-law left it in his car when I bought it from him so I checked it out. Been a fan since.

Bruno mars wrote Cee-lo Green's "fuck you"

how bout that

 

[Race Jones]

hmmmmm

 

[Goldie]

Might not be a culture vulture but he's definitely reaping the benefits of being a non-black making black music. If he was black he wouldn't have got 1 grammy this year. That's a fuckin fact.

"white people are being praised and getting more opportunities than blacks doing black art"


AP - "So who cares"

me nigga

then throw away all of your rap cd's that didnt win best rap album of the year

 

[Goldie]

I swear I'm changing the name of this site to aWhiteWeb lol from this thread, to du and the rest of the niggas seeing no issue with sistas getting put on the back burner for white women, to the snow bunny thread, it's time.

 

[Goldie]

then throw away all of your rap cd's that didnt win best rap album of the year

that makes absolutely no sense

being truthful about what?

no one said that's not happening

however, that tweet that this conversation has shifted to (did you see it?) is more about this chicks inability to discover music on her own vs any merit about how people are appropriating black music

 

[AP2.5]

that makes absolutely no sense

do you let the grammy's tell you what is the best rap album of the year?

 

[Goldie]

do you let the grammy's tell you what is the best rap album of the year?

Is that award show made to tell people what to listen to? You're using Knock style of debating, you're better than this fam.

Black people dont get grammys?

 

[Elzo69Renaissance]

my foolproof way to track a culture vulture is to figure out if he was dating black women before stardom?

 

[Elzo69Renaissance]

Black people dont get grammys?

barely

nah

im asking YOU personally, do YOU let award shows tell you what music is popular

i've discovered WAY more music on this very site in the year or so its been around than at any point in my life. I owe that to like minded individuals and collective think groups here.

im not looking for award shows decide my listening tastes

if you dont rock with Bruno, then listen to the artists that are making the music he is, but who look like you

dumb quesiton
