Got my list fully made from this thread

thinly veiled blink-182 hate thread

Might turn this thread into a Sevendust Thread in a lil bit

Fell in the sun one of the best songs ever to put on in the whip on a sunny day

I hate that Zulu broke up but it seemed pretty bad from what I read

thank you!

we were actually thinking about scrapping this one

thank u sm for listening

It's not their fault New Danger was mid

Nigga I am the f***in OP

I even posted examples at the end of the post

My fault twin
And i heard them too, i like them

Going to go listen to awaken my love which is a perfect example of being inspired by amazing black music and making a music on the old level, george clinton/funk etc

Shoutout gambino fr

New Danger was 1. Underrated and 2. The compromise because the label thought a full rock project after black on both sides wouldnt sell

Alemeda is very good

The rock songs on the new danger were not notable. Making a full Rock album would not have been a good idea if he couldn't even make a handful of decent Rock songs.

“Generic pop rock”
Because these artists like popper rock from their childhood… teezo integrates a variety of rock subgenres, X integrated emo and screamo, not pop punk or whatever. Why would u need to call someone out on not doing the type of rock ur into, if thats the music that connects with YOU then you do it. Emo and pop punk are worlds apart nu metal is entirely a different thing, trap metal was entirely different. Juice wasn’t really emo at all tbh

We can’t restrict people’s art to only what’s perceived as historically “black” rock music to only keep them within the confines of those sounds rock music is black music and people should make what they like and take inspo from what inspires them. A reminder also, poppy doesn’t equal generic. Teezo or X is anything but.

Funk and funkadelic has been payed homage to a million times over that s*** jsut isn’t popular as sole rock music. Teezo integrates all types of rock music with rnb and other more traditional black music. I don’t get this post, if that’s the music u connect to then make it man!

I do get this desire but it doesn’t have to be at such expense of other things! Both are great! I think the fact that black artists aren’t gatekept from making that music and paying homage to that which they connected to is great!

super underrated

“ it's a shame because bands like Soul Glo, Zulu, Playytime, Thirdface (Led by Black woman) don't ever get the same looks”
Because they aren’t poppy and aren’t as acessible!! Ofc something like alemeda will appeal to more people cuz it’s more poppy in an era where the music everyone grew up on is closer to what they r paying homage to

You capping.

All that being said tho good post and very informal and a lot of great knowledge here and yes I’d like to see more of that it would be cool I love soul glo @op I just dont like the tweets and I don’t think we should be “calling people out” for taking influence from “white pastiche” as if they are afraid or something just because some might not like their music or the music they take influence from that’s the music they loved, wanna make, and were gatekept out of during the era they loved, and it’s innacurately lumping 10 years of influence of dif genres into being vaguely “similar” which I think does a disservice to these artists and doesn’t really respect these genres histories yk.

🤫 need guitars too

The fact you're picking a performance not even on the album proves my point, nigga

This woulda all been on an album is what im saying dumbass

Yeah rock does not benefit from pop mixing

White people gotta go back to making this type of music. We don’t like it when yall tryna be rappers
