The reality is that popular music, ie pop music, doesn't belong to anyone - it's art. And a whole lot of your favorite "black music" was written by white people. From Ella Fitzgerald to Motown to Michael Jackson.

The sheer audacity and boldness stemming from his post is mad annoying.

It's wild when guests enter the house and kick their feet up on the table rather than show respect.

The game got fukked up.

Cut it out.

Tell Spanish people that Flamenco isn't their music.

What it being "pop" music has to do with anything is beyond me. The music is either rooted in a particular race's culture or it isn't.

I can be the best damn Opera singer that Black America(or any America) has ever seen and that still won't make Opera any less Italian or anymore black.

Imagine my black ass going to Japan, beasting at the genre of Gagaku, and when an interviewer asks me about it I'm like "Well, I don't feel this music is rooted in Asian culture, or even the Japanese. This music belongs to everyone"

MIKE DEAN UNDERRATED .. HE CO-PRODUCED THE ENTIRE SECOND DPG ALBUM N MADE IT WHAT IT WAS

 

[dj-method-x]

The Coli hits a new low by shyttin on Mike Dean of all ppl.

LOL. He helped kick off the classic south sound and Rap-A-Lot records musically and you guys are saying 'oh so he hasn't done much' when the basis for the Hip Hop some of you dikk ride came from there. Especially ASAP Rocky/Drake fans, that Houston sound that people like Drake and ASAP Rocky dikk rode came from him in part


People who don't know about Mike Dean, asking others who don't know about Mike Dean, trying to find a way to dismiss the fact they don't know by showing their ass. You guys are lazy as fukk, you can Google to see what hes done. If Nardwuar can find information, you coli detectives who cracked the Troy Ave/Taxstone case can find it.


Twitter makes things over simplified in response. He wasn't saying he made all these records himself but his influence goes real far back and legends salute him. No two ways about it. He has respect among the artist that people online worship.....

Mike Dean has put in a lot of work. His production on Resurrection is top notch.

Give credit where credit is due.

Yall tweekin. Hip Hop is Jew music

 

[L. Deezy]

Cracka was not even a top 5 in-house producer on rap-a-lot...he was good for a solid track here & there...but NO Joe, Bido, Ready Red, Crazy C, Dope E >>>>> this cracka

There were times by the late 90's where Scarface himself was crafting better beats on the Face/GB projects than this peckawood...average producer in reality.

Murda beats >>>>> this cracka

right..

And Scarface getting on the bass guitar himself for them basslines is far better than anything Dean did

 

[Da King]

Mike Dean's rise in popularity directly correlates with Kanye falling off musically

fukk that crakkka

 

[Renegade47]

Art is subjective, we talking hip hop than we talking about a genre of music which annexed influences and makes references to shyt rooted in other cultures, shyt that isn't predominantly/ uniquely AA... The whole culture of sampling would than be cultural appropriation ?? references to mob culture, kung fu movies etc...

Instead of arguing who should make/listen to hip hop, the argument should really be who should own it, and that's no doubt AA's......

not as subjective as you think

 

[315]

Nobody owns or controls music. It's freedom of anyone's expression and once released to the world its free for interpretation and for any1 to enjoy.

You can't claim a race or culture owns a note, or chord. To think so, makes u jus as bad as dem racist slave owners.

There's literally nothing Black people can do to put us at the level of slave owners.

He didn't "kick off" shyt...they were already selling millions of albums before he even hopped on board. He didn't create or innovate a sound either...the "rap-a-lot sound" was already established/created by Bido, Johnny C, Ready Red, Dope E, Doug King...the cracka is a typical leach and industry hypejob. Slightly above average producer at best.
