i get the concept and i even agree somewhat.
but if every art form is taken and grafted from people of color.
by that logic all that means is that people of color will continue to create new expressions of art and
the "culture vultures" will continue to do what they do.
so don't get angry.... just go create some new shit and keep movin.
so the moving of society and creativity is put on our shoulders while someone can sit by and wait to come and steal it?
are black people just welcomed in modern day rock? or do we have to work our way up?
its different if you were talking protecting...but you saying give it away and create something else......
ole part of the problem ass fukka
black people are alchemist by default..
we took the worst food you can feed someone and made it a delicacy that some call soul food.
we took our worst conditions and created some of the most beautiful music and stories out of it.
once again,, where ever you plant the seed it will grow. so no matter what black people will continue
to create new forms of expression because thats what we do, thats what we have always done.
the original needs nothing to copy from.
that creativity came from necessity and survival.
the art came from expression.
but we need to keep it moving? i dont follow
why steal from those you deem as inferior?
your way of thinking wont last on even the most creative person or people.
who can properly create with someone on their heels?
this argument is not going to lead anywhere because you are ok with crumbs and keeping the boss happy while his boss owns the bakery. they eating off you and your creation while you die trying to keep it moving and turning the other cheek.
at what point do you stand up for your creation?
you know nevermind.....
I didn't say we shouldn't stand up and state the obvious. I still say the king of rock n roll is jimi hendrix which is obvous to me but some others may disagree.
the point of what i was saying isn't black people should just move on..
what i said was black people WILL move on, because history has proven so.
moving on is after that fact.
we should move on because that what we want to do...not because we was forced out and watered down and made to look like fools.
bruh....i am in the center of europe right now.....i am watching swiss kids respect hiphop more than kids in my old hood.
think about that....
its not about moving on...
most people are looking at this like...if white people come and take it then it musta been worth something. yet yu are not benefiting from the worth.
jayz, diddy, and 5 combined still aint worth a fraction of what hiphop has done for just 1 major label.
i'm not taking about that, i'm talking about history.
specifically hip hop is a black genre,
at one point rock n roll was a black genre, before it even had a name it was black music.
when white boys started copying it, you know the rest.
now did black people stop making that kind of music? no
where they forced out ? no not really, what they did was come out with some shit even doper than the last time.
thats what i'm talkin about.
you can have this shit cause it's corny now that you on it, i'm doing this now, and this is the shit. the new shit.
