why will black artists only mention other black people as inspiration?
i swear, not once have i heard a black musician say a white person influenced them. it's almost like a monumental challenge to hear a black musician say a white persons name

>>127164135 (OP)
I have not noticed this personally. In fact even black artists who are openly racist against whites seem to praise white music. I mean they're musicians so this isn't weird

>>127164135 (OP)
Because white rappers suck. There's a bunch of rappers inspired by paramore and other bands though

Most cities had "black" radio stations and that was all the black kids were exposed to growing up.

>>127164176
rap is different though, that was a very specifically black culture phenomenon

They don't want to give credit

>>127164176
Even this is not true, most of them give Eminem praise. They even praise retards like G Eazy kek

Frank Ocean didn't care he laid all of his influences out for everyone

tyler the creator has said eminem was his biggest influence

>>127164135 (OP)
Early rappers weren't like this. Any 80s rapper will openly admit that they stole from Kraftwerk.

>>127164224
Eminem made Rap God when rap wasn't rap wasn't as popular as it became in the mid 2010s

Kendrick mentions Eminem as an inspiration all the time; so does Tyler. Hope this helps!

rap was invented by Blondie, let that sink in.

>>127164135 (OP)
Hendrix called Rory Gallagher the best guitarist and covered the Beatles and had 2 white english rent-boys as his backing band

>>127164298
Phonic Boy made hip hop beats before what they become but probably had less of an impact

>>127164321
Hendrix was an uncle Tom like Kanye

So you're a Segregationist. No different than chuds. Nobody can ever get along with anyone else. Nobody can ever like things from here. Only there. No one can drink from that Water Fountain. Just the designated one.

member that noisey interview where Danny Brown was trying to put Rocky onto Joy Division

>>127164135 (OP)

>>127164579
danny brown was actually what made me think of it. the interviewer asked about frank sinatra and he's like "he's no marvin gaye"
i like danny but that response just pissed me off.

>Eminem made Rap God when rap wasn't rap wasn't as popular as it became in the mid 2010s
I don't understand. Can you try again?

>>127164579
How doesn't Rocky know Joy Division when he was at a Picturplane party back in the day. All these artists either play ignorant or they have other people producing the music for them

>>127164591
He's kind of right about that though lol. No offense to Sinatra who is great

>>127164712
he is, but like, cmon.
its like you'll ask a black guy who his favorite economist is, you'll be like do you like keynes and he'll be like "oh sure but he's no thomas sowell"

>>127164582
>oasis as influence
grim

>>127164176
Funny how the greatest rapper is a white guy though

>>127164135 (OP)
>why will black artists only mention other black people as inspiration?
because other people stick together and look after their own, except dumb honkeys

>>127164812
there's also not a lot of them or ones that get a serious push. I'm not talking about Macklemore and the ones that do blow up because they're decent

People prefer their own kind. Only the psyopped whites don't.

>>127164135 (OP)
It will always remain a mystery to me why every white person I know, even the biggest redneck will admit to liking some black music but I’ve never heard a black admit to liking Van Halen, Madonna or Bruce Springsteen. Mother fuckers need to broaden their horizons

Eyedea never made it big but changed rap and no one ever talks about him anymore

i would rather they be genuine, i think xxxtenction once said "yeah i like emo music like papa roach", black people are going to have cringe taste in rock music and not even understand the genres, id rather they just be genuine and say they dont like it.

>>127164600
The lyrics where he has rappers coming to him asking for advice because they don't know how to word their lines to make themselves more pop sounding and widely popular

>>127164577
>Segregationist
that's not even a bad thing

Without white culture you wouldn't have the things that you associate with it and the same thing with black culture. I don't think Gothness would of sprang up anywhere else besides Europe no where else on earth was death more prevalent then it was during the middle ages

>mods removing racism
very unusual I don't think ive seen this on this board

>>127164135 (OP)
because they hate white people, sorry you had to find out this way

>>127164135 (OP)
Hasn't big boi from outkast gone on about kate bush like 80 million times?

>>127165216
I see it a lot now. Even if you're using naughty words but not saying anything about race.

also the guy ITT that got deleted wasn't being racist (as in hateful) either, beyond observing race in a way not overtly flattering nonwhites. So he got whacked for the wrong opinions. I love it here.

>>127164135 (OP)
Why are there no black artists playing "white music?"
Social media is full of black kids playing metal or indie pop songs with guitar. Are they forced to start a rap career when they grow up?

>>127165678
>>127165216
How do mods manage to get even worse

>>127165678
Probably they have autoban bot for certain words

>>127164135 (OP)
White people aren't inspiring.

>>127164135 (OP)
Big Boi from Outkast has said Kate Bush is his favourite artist and The Dreaming his favourite album, i shit you not.
