And I'm saying the fact he couldn't have one song as good as this on his album shows that it wouldn't have worked

Dumbass

Sombr

I’m not at all versed enough on the genre to have an opinion of substance on the matter. I’ve been seeing the discourse in timeline though, it seems to have spawned this from that conversation

I been saying with the rise of the reclamation of the “Soulaan” moniker, I think more conversations are gonna be had about things like this, especially with Hip Hop aging, and the sound changing so much. Race & Culture will not be as intertwined as we view it today in the States. I think if “Soulaan” movement (not FBA) gains mass adoption, it forces the examination of Soulaan culture specifically, as opposed saying “the culture” which vaguely encompasses all things Black happening the US. Further examination of Soulaan culture and Hip Hop. Are they the same thing? Then that opens up the conversation of exactly who actually is of Hip Hop culture, and who’s actually a guest?

i'm here to boomer up this thread and boldly claim that Silent Alarm is the best major label rock album of the past 25 years

good pick

Nah I thought this overnight and she 100% in the right man foh.

Regardless of the demographic that receives the said artist’s music, it is 100% black.

The position against this is the reason Lenny Kravitz (in his own words) felt he never was accepted by the black demographic music-wise.

Mans made a whole divorce album about Lisa Bonet after f***ing up the relationship, what’s more blacker than that?

(Im clearly being faceitous but lenny had JOINTS dawg.)

Shaboozey’s biggest hit is literally because of J-Kwon.

Conclusion: Its a fine line between “every black person that makes music isnt black music” and “you talk white”

lol Literally found this in Goodwill a day after this thread...

there's some music gems itt. This what ktt is about

she so bad fr

niggas dont know who howard jones is

the last song is fine lyrics are corny but it sounds good

also this is an example of statistical bias

you found one artist who exemplifies this trend theyre pointing out because they probably have never seen a modern black rock artist until this point (the twitter replies are guilty of the same bias)

theres no real trend here its just one very strong outlier giving the impression of some causal dynamic that doesnt actually exist

sound like bleood

i love how i cant tell what is 808 and what is just chaos

edit: holy f*** im dumb my bad

that s*** was .69 on blue tag day 🥀

Dont really have any insights to offer. But as a black artist who makes rock from time to time. Def gives me something to think about with ny own tunes. Good thread

Crine

Yeah I peeped but I can always do a return tho
