If anybody feels BM is a Culture Vulture then you have to feel the same way about Switch and the entire Debarge clan.

Umm ok. I don't see how. Her music is classified as Pop/Soul and "Hello" was at the top of the R&B charts.
Or folks like Bob Babbitt and Joe Messina. Who were part of Motown's Funk Brothers in the 60's and 70's, think they didn't have love or appreciation for the culture.
Did Hello sound like an R&B record to you?

Was Switch an all white band or no? I could have thought it was a group that consisted of black members? Wasn't Switch working with the likes of the Jacksons and was under Berry G? Wasn't Switch signed to Motown? so how are they culture vulture when they not only had black members in the group, they were signed to a black label?
And wasn't Debarge mother black? so that does make her children black huh? Didn't the mother come from a gospel background?

Uh oh *waits for someone to come front on Sara Smile*
I don't give a fuck what Joe did. Does Adele's Hello sound like R&B. Like Joe
R&B
From what I'm gathering, the only criteria to being a culture vulture is to not be black. It's plenty niggas that do exactly what y'all accuse Miley 'nem of.
And just because an R&B artist did the song, doesn't now make it an R&B song.
So is Aerosmith's Walk This Way a rap song cuz Run-DMC covered it?

Yes, it sounds like Joe, at least the album its on. The song is no more out of place on his album that it is on Adele's.
I'm pretty sure I didn't say "Yes, it's R&B because R&B artist are covering it." I simply said yes it sounded like an R&B song, and pointed out that R&B artists have covered it and included it on their R&B albums.

BM isnt an all white band tho...
Morris Day gave him his blessing so ultimately our feelings and opinions are irrelevant.
No I'm saying there's black ppl within hip hop that do what "culture vultures" do...but they don't get held to culture vulture standards cuz they black.
