Lupe says he is more culturally Japenese than African

well now thats it's cleared up. That still doesnt change that what we built here is our culture distinct and different than African culture.I'm talking the former and while we're at it the influence of African Music isn't just syncopation. Let's say we did stop at syncopation and rhythm though, it's still the guiding hand in all Black American Music and has been for the past century or so and if anything it's an example of the lasting effects of Africa on the Black American.
My ideas about music and particularly Black American Music doesn't fall to far from a lot of my personal musical heroes.
And as I'm certain you know, rhythm and syncopation were at times purposefully over emphasized in the music to reinforce it's Black(African) Origins (Hip-Hop, Jazz and Funk) all have several easily searchable movements which show this.
Obviously contemporary diasporic music is heavily influenced by Black Americans simply by the sheer influence of and over exposure to American Culture in general but brehs need not forget the catalyst to all this shyt.
There is no jazz, blues, funk,soul, rock n' roll or Hip-Hop without the slave trade and the clash of culture it causes.
I'm sure I'm not telling you anything my breh @IllmaticDelta but the breh @Cadillac seems a bit off in his assumptions about my stance on or knowledge of black music.
Trust @Cadillac I didn't order all of these books because I have no interest in music theory or how it relates to Black American Music.
I'm really about this Jazz, Hip-Hop, Blues etc. shyt.
After this though, I'm dipping out on this thread
I'll lurk or whatever but The Coli's Hero Worship and dikk Riding is exactly why
my posting is to a minimum.
Yes we drew inspiration and some inheritance from Africa given our ancestors were sold from there.
No different then how some of our culture is Euro inspired because of being next to whites.
We drew inspiration from several others and made our own shyt.

There are few things cornier than trying to force somebody to be something they're not 
Yall dudes have no pride whatsoever.
If yall really felt like being African was the shyt (I do), you wouldn't be begging anywho to identify with it. Being a true African is a privilege. But yall in here acting like it's a curse. Says more about yall than about him.
Now on the other hand, he tweeted this:
So all yall talking about he has no connection to Africa whatsoever are also capping and projecting. These threads always reveal those who talk out of their asses or come here with an agenda.
He clearly was raised, in his own admission, in a mix of African, Japanese/Asian and ADOS culture.
Now based on his tweets, he clearly feels closer to Japanese culture and it resonates more with him. Which is OK. Nothing to be mad about.
Lastly, this @ATownD19 cat ever solidifies his WOAT 2019 status

Since when did TLR go from their keyboard-militant shyt to caping for weeaboo ass nikkas. Y'all sacrifice y'all principles for the sake of hero-worship at the altar of sophistry; if this was a regular nikka off the street saying this shyt y'all would be in here clownin' him.

It's not about Lupe. It's about identity, ethnicity and culture.Since when did TLR go from their keyboard-militant shyt to caping for weeaboo ass nikkas.

I'm tired of saying it. The American education system is a myth.

I love you, you know.
I mean if you have a Japanese fetish just go ahead and admit it...
But to say that you are culturally Japanese is just ridiculous.
