African-American music. Things changed…Right. Because African Americans only write crappy rap songs now. There’s no such thing as Wynton Marsalis or TV on the Radio or Mos Def or RZA or….
Fucking hate this meme. /blackpower
i think the point of these is to point out the mass-media popularity and consumerism that supports ignorance and no-talent artists to the point that they it becomes all the public sees or hears of a certain group. obviously african-americans still write amazing music, the problem is that the mass-media doesnt hype it. i rarely turn on the radio and hear music that is different, that inspires, that is true art. i normally hear the same 3 notes, and auto tune, and everyone using the same lyrics that some dead guy wrote 15 years ago.
do yourself a favor and smash your radio, and go out and find music that speaks to you. dont just let people spoon feed you this bullshit. you deserve better.
