I don't respect black people who have cac musicians in their top 5

[BaldingSoHard]

Led Zeppelin
Cult
Pearl Jam

^^^^All incredible music by CACs, just my personal opinion. Anyway to each their own but I think to limit your musical experience to only one subset of one genre is pretty sad I can listen to the following songs in a row without missing a beat:


I'm eclectic, f*ck your box you culturally square azz nikkaz

Pearl Jam is surprisingly dope. Not top-5 dope, but very imo. I got put on by a cat I used to run with. Got in his car and his shyt was on the Pearl Jam sirius channel. I was and he was like, "Naw man just listen." Ten mins later I was a fan.

 

[Eternally Jaded]

Not going to agree with the op cuz he's got ugly ways, but my musical tastes reflect his stance.
And that's without touching the stinkpile that is hip hop. Love it but kinda outgrowing it.

Stevie Wonder
James Brown
Bill Withers
Liane La Havas
Wintley Phipps

The only whites I got in my top ten are Amy Winehouse n The Black Keys.

I don't know or care what the Beatles trailblazed for music, their actual music to me is blegh.

But I do enjoy a few white artists, especially since the British scene has their own soul thing on boom right now.

 

[GetSomeMoney]

Yes I have.

It's bullshyt.

The Beatles were both unique and original I got a feeling you guys don't actually listen to the music you talk about

Except I have heard tons of Beatles music, again their influence was here in the US and Western Europe, I can bet no other country celebrates the Beatles the way they do here. Just look at their compilation album "1", that album sold in the US, Canada, Great Britain, France, Germany, Norway, and Australia. There are 2 billion people between India and China, no certified sales, what about Japan, no certifications, again, Western Europe and the US/Canada. They had a hot 5 year run and it was a wrap, sounds like a boy band to me, spare me the innovative deep songs spiel, again I listened to them extensively, it was just music that spoke of the times, hence why they are a single generation group (baby boomers), if you are 50-70 and white, you love them, no one else gives a crap.

now explain to me how any cac can even sniff the top 5 list of musicians when they have competion like this? And this isnt even counting Mike Jackson, Gaye,Stevie, R kelly, 2pac etc..

Struggle list full of r&b singers that you probably never heard a full album from. Ol' lemme buy the greatest hits album ass fan.

Also most of these guys were "singles artist"(like rihanna) that usually had people write original material for them or covered standards.



Dude took damn near 2hrs to come back with this too.

Plus you actually counted the members of "The Temptations" separately so you could come up with more names. Who you trying to fool?

Each dude on that list has more talent than any cac that's ever put out a record

 

[Johnny Joestar]

Anyone Co signing this thread is a dikk riding fukkboi looking for daps. Bunch of weird nikkas on this shyt man.

stealing whole verse's and riffs is not drawing inspiration breh

I agree to be honest but you still don't know a damn thing about black music if this all you can up with.

For a black forum you guys come off really ignorant when it comes to black music that isn't- hip-hop or RnB music.

When I lurked here, I saw someone say Miles Davis was the Jimi Hendrix of trumpets

Each dude on that list has more talent than any cac that's ever put out a record

 

[Pseudo]

Also let me recommend y'all some music from my favorite member of a music forum I frequent. His knowledge of hip-hop is second to none( I swear he's heard every hip-hop album in existence)

Dude listens to ALOT of stuff. Reggae,Jazz, Soul etc. If you're trying to expand your taste in black music especially, he is THAT dude to get recommendations from

That's what music is supposed to be. It's supposed to be UNDENIABLE.













Nikkaz act like CACs were f*ckin' with rock, jazz, ragtime, hip hop, etc etc. THEY WEREN'T. But regardless of race and creed, you can't deny REAL music. That's why it's hard to listen to the radio in 2015, it's so much computer generated trash. Nobody's speaking to you anymore, nobody's pourin' out their soul, no effort in the lyrics.

 

[blackzeus]

Cacs did an incredible job at stealing black musician's style, to the point where the certain cac bands (Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones) made WAYYYYYYY better music than the black musicians they stole songs from

it's so spooky brehs

I agree with this, Jimi Hendrix essentially fathered modern rock. Groups like the Temptations, the Chi-Lites and the Jackson 5 laid the foundation for most pop music today. With all that said Led Zeppelin is top 5 in my book.

 

[Nature's Fury]

Radiohead in my Top 5
