Bruno Mars hammered for Cultural appropriation

[Illified infinitely]

Bruno mars makes Kids bop versions of old songs.

My issue is once the hype wears off the songs sound watered down as hell and not something that came from Jam sessions.

Cats like Prince had tons of white folks in his bands who spun off and did solo stuff but the music seemed more authentic (maybe because Prince still had a hand in it).

Well your biggest problem is comparing Bruno to prince. Bruno cannot hold a candle to prince or mj.




No offense bruno

Mans got a song called finnese that got nothing to do with finessin.
Drippin in finesse.
shyt LIterally makes no sense.
Mf's just throwing black lingo against the wall and watching it stick.
fukk Bruno,fukk Cacs.
fukk Cardi too.

Comprehension isnt strong for you eh?

 

[King Poetic]

Dont care about any of this or care for bruno music.

Probably one of these negros who want to hear talib kweli, the roots and jill scott on the radio all the time and probably hate on some popular rap artist

I might be wrong but has bruno ever came out taking a shyt on black artist

Its not that serious sis.

She made some points obviously, but this when I appreciate Carl being in the discussion. Where exactly do we draw the line and what is Bruno supposed to do?

I feel like we don't know what true cultural appropriation is in a few cases. There is so much depth to that topic beyond skin color.

Black lingo isnt the same regionally just saying.

Guess not

If Bruno was a black producers artist would he get a pass like say Teena Marie?

 

[AAKing23]

I agree with her 100%

I aint mad a bruno mars, his music is shyt and he rips on black culture, but he is clearly talented.

Yall (nikkas) allowed this fukkery, as well as this fakkit rap from all the lil uzi fakkits and lil opium overdoses, yall are to blame.

Yall lowered the bar in both rnb, rap, and rocknroll, allowing all these crackers like lil xan, pump, bruno, r.thicke, and Timberlake to come through

The non-black listening audience who support these artists is much bigger than the black audience and for the people who control the music industry it's mainly cacs. She even said these audiences want black music from non-black artists.

Same with sports.

People get rich off black people.

World is plundering Africa's wealth of 'billions of dollars a year'

It's a fukked up world.

 

[Mike Ock]

I dunno, but he does look like he has some Afro roots in him:

He works with a team of black writers who he always acknowledges. He acknowledges being heavily influenced by black music.

Not sure what else is expected from him. It's not like he's using "nikka" in his music.

I don't think there's much to blame him for. We all know the playing field isn't even.

That looks like a Baltimore Orioles shirt, a team owned by a white person, sold by Fanatics, a white company, while twitter handle is Sensei(Asian Teacher). So is she culture appropriating white and asian culture

is it oochie wally or is it one mic

in before cac this and cac that

I just think a lot of these 'culture vulture' arguments are weak and insane and majority of the time its coming from someone using something from someone else culture in the first place (fashion , etc.). Basically a whole bunch of fakeness for retweets

are there culture vultures? Hell yea! No Jumper Adam dude and Iggy Azalea are obvious. People who didnt grow up around any element of anything they are trying to sell = culture vulture

Bruno Mars why we acting like there arent videos of him as a youngin doin the same shyt he cant be a fan of michael jackson when hes a kid and doesnt even know what the words culture vulture are and mimic his moves he supposed to give up his dreams cause some nerds on a forum called the coli gonna hate him bruno mars was dancing and singing like this before forums was even invented

im probably gonna get negged for this post but fukk it, the shyt needs to be said.. this shyt getting ridiculous.. so a mafukka cant dance and sing since a lil kid no more

If bruno mars a culture vulture than anyone who posts in this thread agreeing with her who owns a Polo, Gucci, Versace or anything like that a culture vulture as well you cant complain about it and then do it yourself

just tired of the fake outrage

might be the dumbest shyt i read all week

the ISP im using is white owned am I not suppose to use the internet?

the fukk does any of this have to with Bruno making a pseudo Now Thats What I Call Music complication all of the great funk records in the past and receiving more accolades, credit (and most importantly) money then the artists hes imitating?

Don't hate the player, hate the game. Look at Rihanna when she came out, she was r&b/caribbean, and now she's pop.

 

[Hungerpain]

Black lingo isnt the same regionally just saying.

When the last time nikkas used finesse as a noun anywhere?

"Drippin in finnese" makes zero sense because they used it without even knowing what nikkas mean by finesse.
They just wanted to use keywords thats popular in the culture right now and forced some dumb shyt.

God I hate when some of our people act so insecure like this.
