Well Rap has a culture of calling rappers old & played out & downplayed anything that isn’t current.

Prince LIVE shows in his last 30 years were such a celebration of Black R&B, Soul and Funk music. And he wasn’t using it as a marketing tool or a reference point or SEO fodder or cash grab and didn’t cosplay as em, he just clearly loved that shit and jammed the fuck out to it.

A white leftist will say the child who has the parent that called the police is the real victim; and if the black child doesn’t forgive their parent for calling the police on him at 3 yrs old then the black child is the real oppressor of the child with the racist parent.

What is wrong with the pale nation??? Call the police on a 3 yr old because he's too good for their kids???? 😳

Fuck the racists, but this a generational prospect if they keep developing him.

We have to start suing. Like lawsuits out the ass.

You heard it straight from the source. Believe That.

Africans and Europeans are the same ppl in different packaging

Bernie Mac destroyed the stereotype and lie that having a large Black fan base meant you couldn’t have global appeal. Bernie never thought or projected “I have to get that White bag 💰” to sell and other groups liked him anyway without selling out. So far I have yet to see an interview where Bernie is blaming the Black audience like Kevin Hart did. #thoughtcrimez

this is disgusting

And to top it off, Prince had the fucking GALL to add Dr. Funkenstein on top of everything else and P-Funk that shit up?!!! Yea y’all ain’t really ready to be Prince.

You wanna be Prince but you ain’t got the harmonic complexity, Soul & spirituality of Stevie? The gospel-drenched, sweltering Funk of Sly? A deep abiding love for Blues, Jazz and roots R&B like Shuggie? Unabashed nerve to throw allat together and jam for 10+ mins like James B?

Thing y’all don’t want to accept is yes, he saw her raw ability but he still weighed you more if you could PLAY instruments. He was a PLAYING bandleader and this is bandleader ethos. The artists he himself MOST modeled were bandleaders too: Stevie, Sly, JB, Shuggie.

This is the heart of Prince, highly capable, self-sufficient, multi-instrumentalists. Of course, it’s fun to play with others and they did but this is the archetype who can build whole worlds from scratch; they aren’t having armies of producers pitch them songs

D’Angelo is the only major modern artist who has approached the study and synthesis of all this.

Many don’t appreciate Prince beyond the purple rain costumes. He was not a pop artist in the way most of your favs are. This is also why, say, a Snoh falls short. The talent gap between Prince/his primary influences and a Snoh is incalculable.

Proof the industry be discriminating against baritones

IT’S A VERY LARGE SECTION OF WEIRDOS THAT BE WANTING BLACK AMERICANS TO HATE LIGHTSKIN AND BIRACIALS LIKE LMAO THEY WANT US TO HATE FOR SOME OUR BROTHERS SISTERS COUSINS AUNTS ETC LIKE THEY SICK IN THE HEAD

today’s use of interpolation in pop music is no different than how white bands would steal black artists records back in the day. i shouldn’t be hearing timbaland and pharrell all over these pop tracks and not receiving a percentage and credit on the tracks

Back home for evening so let’s get into #BoogieNights and center Black women vocalists of 80s using their voices so energetically + percussively, there’s no confusion you supposed to dance uninhibited S.O.S (Dit Dit Dit Dash Dash Dash Dit Dit Dit) - SOS Band (Mary Davis) [1980]
