"Tropical House","Festival Trap" or to take it way back "Rock".

All you have to do is change the name, roughly allude to who or what it actually came from, fill it with white musicians.
And it's as if the original never existed.
White people want to listen to white people. That's why Eminem, macklemore, Mac Miller, etc, sell so well. I think most people want to listen to/look at someone that looks like them. They're not gonna come in your house and take your Vybz Kartel CD's so who cares

I ran across that rolling Stones article earlier while searching for an mp3 of Work and instantly got pissed when I saw "tropical house"
Why do y'all still read Rollingstone? I thought we threw that in the bushes when they said Taylor Swift's Red was her version of Prince's Purple Reign.

Well i distinctly remember on this forum going back and forth with alot of you man on here cos americans did the same sh1t to dubstep...completely b*stardised it, took it from the originators, innovators and proper producers of it in the uk and claimed it as their own...and you man were trying to justify it and were just as ignorant as this rollingstone debacle so all i can say is

White people killed every art form they stole because they are not able to grow it beyond the point they stole it..it remains stagnant for decades. They took rock and abominated it to punk rock..

It took me a while to understand the riff but I see now "Tropical House"

:jbhmm:I coulda sworn African Americans created House music, so it's not really white washing because House was never white people's music to begin with

Black ppl created house and we're talking about a song featuring 2 black artists, I fail to see the white washing. If anything it's just another case of Americans being ignorant to the world outside your borders, something which many coli posters are guilty of, Jamaicans blatant role in creating Hiphop is vehemently rejected here by a lot of you, what's the difference between that and someone mislabelling a genre? The real attempt at re-writing history along nationalist and ethnic lines is worse than a simple mistake.

Second, if you're going to check someone over mislabelling a music genre at least do it right, not a single one of you cultural critics have noted the Afrobeat influences on that song, Rihanna's using a copy and paste Afrobeats flow that comes as Drake's been scoping out the London scene and the casting call for the video is requesting extras to turn up with a 'Grime Look' i.e London look, coincidence? It will be according to the coli.
:laff:

My days...that's the game you're playing??? Seriously brah i thought your response was going to be infinitely more interesting than that...and if we want to keep playing that game without 1950's jamaican dub music there's no US House.The origins of dubstep are linked directly to dark...actually why am i even bothering :snoop: me and you both know you're just being petty lol
