Black people are the most influential people ever tho,

Just look at the egyptians who inspired Greeks & Romans :banderas:,

And the moors who brought knowledge to cacs in the dark ages,

Africa was doing big thangs while euros were living in caves & breeding with Neanderthals :heh:

At the beginning of mean streets
I'd argue that the black diaspora culture in general is very influential, to the AfroCarribeans/Latinos, to black Americans, and to black Africans themselves. Black American culture has gotten it's influences from other diasporas, while conveying a message about our own unique experiences at the same time. You can tell when you hear our music, our cuisine, and even our speech.

Every society that has ever existed on earth has had their own idea of what was cool or trendy. With hunter gatherers it might have been a certain piece of jewelry. In working class 1880 London it might have been having the best Pit dog in the neighborhood or a certain tailored outfit. Saying AA invented the "idea of cool," is like saying a vulture invented the "idea of funny." Just no. What is considered "cool" to you, might be the opposite of cool to another.

So you gon act like rock music wasn't created by African Americans? :dahell:

Like cacs weren't eating good off jocking black artists style? :dahell:

AAs really been setting the pace on what's cool for the past half century in popular culture :umad:

Very true. Even in hiphop the idea of an MC came from the Caribbeans. They used to have their music, and someone on the mic would be screaming "boooooh seleeekta!!!!! my selekta!!!! rewind the mix, dj!!!!! rewind the mix!!!! braaaaap!!!!!" :pachaha:

British culture/law/language influence = U.S, Canada, Australia, Jamaica.... List is undeniable. Most influential nation ever. And it's just a small island. Shaped the world. :banderas:


"Britain is an island that helped to abolish slavery, that has invented most of the things worth inventing, including every sport currently played around the world, that still today is responsible for art, literature and music that delights the entire world.

Killa Cameron went in :wow:


You underestimated greatly
Most number ones ever, how long did it really take me?

Respectable answer.


People gotta remember black people were not even seen as human beings back then. But still our pop culture was infectious that they couldn't help but imitate.

Imagine from 2014 to to the year 3000 asian americans/hispanic americans consistently make new popular music that the world listens to and enjoys.

You can't (no diss to asians or hispanics). The point I'm getting at is even doe we were seen as inferior/below we were still able to get the world to rock to our shyt.
