Black folks ain’t the only poor folks around the world. They have those same economic conditions
...yeah but they don't see another culture's music as a way out.
Lol, like ain't no Filipinos or Koreans in America pirating FL Studio, loading up songs on SoundCloud, hoping they can escape their conditions. Poor Asian Americans pulling their money together and opening nail shops and shit.
You can look at breakdancing and how serious Asians take it. It's art. It's not a hustle. They not doing it to get a deal or whatever. They take it so seriously, that Black Americans don't even do it anymore. There ain't no serious competitive Black dance crews, we on Tik Tok and YouTube chasing the algorithm for a check.
Asians on the Olympic stage break dancing.
Black Americans always exploited their art for financial gain, since the beginning of emancipation. The exploitation allows the art to spread and enrich a few people.
But at the same time, it cheapens the art form and those that take it seriously, are generally better at it.
Black Americans have an authenticity edge but that shit is changing. I'm sure rapping and etc will end up like breakdancing.
