Mike Dean: "I've Made Half The Black Music U Love"

[IllmaticDelta]

When did major rap artist own there masters?

Outside of Like P and a down south people?


I'll wait

nikka's is so sensitive.

He's right, not accurate but he's right.


We are some of the most creative people in the world but rap is and really has never been black owned or established. The white man has always been raping us when it comes to the back end. Also ALOT of white and Asian people are producing editing and pieces together ALOT of your favorite rap tracks. Especially in this bubble gum rapper age.

know your history

the first people to turn/establish hiphop into a commercial record industry/business were black people that were vets from the soul/r&B scene..not white people







Enjoy Records' Founder Bobby Robinson Dies, Leaves Legacy In Hip Hop & R&B

7

Last week, Harlem, New York native Bobby Robinson was confirmed dead at 93 years old, according to The New York Daily News. The store-owner and independent record label founder had been reportedly ill for several years before his death on January 7. Although Robinson’s legacy includes the first black-owned business on Harlem’s famed 125th Street, Hip Hop fans know the man through one of his several imprints – Enjoy Records.

Launched in the early 1960s from Robinson’s Bobby’s Happy House, Enjoy Records released early singles from the likes of Spoonie Gee, Treacherous Three, Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five and more. While Robinson maintained other labels such as Fire, Fury and Front Page Records, Enjoy is known for being an early home to Hip Hop albums. Catalog hits include The Furious Five’s “Superrappin’,” The Treacherous Three’s “Feel The Heartbeat” and The Fearless Four’s “Rockin’ It,” which reached younger generations through Jay-Z’s 1997 hit “Sunshine.” Robinson was credited as the producer for the original.

Although Enjoy stopped releasing albums by the mid-1980s, several compilations have released, celebrating the label (and Bobby Robinson’s achievements).

with that garbage. "Me, Myself, & I", I'll give you, but Storch's work with Beyoncé is pretty much cheaply produced knock off versions of these:

It is what it is breh. Mike Dean made a stupid statement and Storch was brought up just to show that there are other white "black music" producers who are bigger than Dean in every measurable way. It's not about who you prefer technically or think is better. Storches Catalogue runs laps around Deans. If the question is who had the bigger career and impact on black music and culture then the answer is pretty clear just by looking at their credits amount of number 1 records with black artist. Numbers don't lie.

That doesn't really make it any better, but ok I was wrong. (assuming all that is accurate I haven't watched it yet)

That means by the time the late 80's and early 90's rolled around some how the white man had swooped in and was getting A HUGE piece of what black people have create for themselves.

How?

Why?

And by the early 2000 thousand they were mixing and mastering and producing our joints.

 

[Sindicated]

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.

Your ass in Canada this has nothing to do with you, i cant stand yall chiming in on shyt that doesn't involve you, and trying to tell us how we should feel

Are these serious questions? Are you really asking how and why white people continue to exploit black people for their financial gain?

This cac has been living off his minuscule work from UGK too long now

 

[Knicksman20]

I'm having a hard time recalling who Mike Dean is

I didn't know who he was either

 

[Axum Ezana]

Hip hop stopped being about "black personal expression" a long time ago

We don't actually control it

Just look at the recent Lupe situation with the J*ws:

Lupe Fiasco done quit after anti-semitism claims

The content in hip-hop has to be combed over and approved by outsiders first.

Hip hop has been colonized for awhile now.

This is why nonblacks are so comfortable saying things like this.

never did....even in the new York 70s golden age....just had more influence over it since it was so new/foreign.

 

[Guvnor]

Mike Dean is ill and did rap a lot stuff though.
