Her argument shouldn't be with Bruno per se, but with White people and the industry in general. Can't pin acceptance on Bruno when he's just rocking out.

OP post the full video for context purposes.



Some of the brehs and brehettes actually put things in the correct perspective.

The anger here isn’t because Bruno Mars does black music, they’re angry because white people would rather listen to Bruno Mars than your average black R&B artist. Which again comes down to craving white acceptance.

Don’t take out your white acceptance mental illness on Bruno Mars. :mjlol:

Nah. He's appropriating black music and packaging it for white consumption, including a few token black backups in the mix so that there's a whiff of authenticity that isn't so overbearing as to repel his targeted white base. More talented black r&b artists, with the exception of one or two, don't receive nearly the level of backing and exposure that he does.

might be the dumbest shyt i read all week :mjlol:

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?
That ISP might be only option available for you to use.

Calling herself Sensai and buying Oriole gear is her own preference.

Hopefully you can see the difference..

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. :wow:
And I agree with you. My point is that We should DENOUNCE AND REMOVE OURSELVES from the fukk shyt IMMEDIATELY.

We should've been dismissed the fukkery, now we got these shea buttery ass do nothing conversations.:hhh:

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.

Nah i feel you, Im just saying regionally some people repurpose words.

In ATL finesse and juug are either used as an adjective or verb

Dude is an elite talent that's making better music than a good chunk of mainstream singing artists out here.

I can't hate on him when he's killing every televised award show & dropping dope music videos.:yeshrug:

Elite? Idk about that. Miguel is light years better if we are talking raw talent.

I'd like to see a study done.. I would love to see either a popular or semi popular black artist drop a throwback funk or disco track just to see how it does. Man my opinion is that this day was inevitable when you had Justin Timberlake and other white folks working with Pharrell and Timbaland while black artists were out here dropping tecno edm music trying to cross over and shyt. Our music is all fukked up now! That's why I stopped caring and I thought it was over until guys on the coli started making threads on current r&b and shyt sounds dope. You got veteran r&b singers having to sing over trap beats just to keep up. I think it's pretty bad that Bruno Mars seems to be the only artist that can come up off of 90's new jack swing and shyt but man fukk it... Somebody else need to try it just to see what happens.
