And he has also openly admitted his inspiration for his last album...so this post of yours is pointless....also important to note that 24K Magic is actually Bruno's album that has sold the least amount of records...and this is th3 album that had some calling him a culture vulture....

So the issue with Bruno IS NOT whether he makes good entertaining music that people of all races & ages can enjoy......but it's the fact he is being recognized for doing so???
Because I've yet to see any of his critics make the argument that Bruno Mars was a untalented lousy hack writer, horrid singer & inept dancer and THAT is why he doesn't deserve all the recognition and praise he gets for making black music. He just not good at it

Well his most successful album is called "doo wop and hooligans" (Doo wop is a black music genre) and his biggest hit has a rapper on it...... So he's been doing this shit since day one.
And as big a hit as That's What I Like & 24K Magic were, they don't even come close to how big Locked Out of Heaven, [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_the_Way_You_Are_(Bruno_Mars_song)']Just the Way You Are, or [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grenade_(song)']Grenade was. So that tweet is false.[/URL][/URL]
I think it's less about him and more about what he represents.

So it really has nothing to do with his talent and ability to entertain people?
:smh:
LOL @ that shit w/ Cardi B being his biggest hit.
Pretty much the white man can't jump shit. There can be a 1000 niggas who can do a 360 dunk and it's like "oh ok" , white boy does a regular dunk and he's the goat. Same shit with Eminem. No reason he should be the highest selling and most awarded rapper of alltime.
My fault, i was thinkin about the BOB track. Fact still remains he started with regurgitating old doo wop , to now doing it with funk.
You don't believe this
Similar to what i said about Eminem. Can Eminem rap good? Hell yea. Should he the highest selling, most awarded and pushed as the goat? fuck no
Now I know know just talking outcha ass, cuz Doo-Wops & Hooligans don't sound like anything doo-wop.
Actual Doo-Wop
What 90% of Doo-Wop & Hooligans sound like
:smh::smh:
Shine from who? the Grammy's?
They're not the only ones not giving them any shine. Go turn on 93 or 95 and see if them R&B singers get any shine or how when June/July comes, let's see if they get any shine from the BET Awards.
Isn't BET white owned now? Man we're fuckin smh
