Non-ADOS did y’all grow up not listening to.....

[UberEatsDriver]

My parents are Haitian. My uncles put me on to old school R&B. Plus in DC, the radio stations used to play them often. Haitian music was played normally during family gatherings. Otherwise, it was whatever was on the radio.

You a Haitian cat from DC? I only know one Haitian family who lives in DC and I’ve been traveling back and forth since I was a kid.

All my other Haitian family live in Maryland specifically.

My mom is Liberian and came here in her late teens. Growing up she listened to the same music every other old head black person listened to, whatever was on WBLS, I never paid too much attention. Anita Baker, Sade, etc.

Born and raised in Texas but parents are Nigerian immigrants. All my mom would listen to is R&B. Luther Vandross, Jodeci, Michael Jackson, Mary J, SWV, pretty much anything 80s and mid 90s. She hated rap music because of the swearing and misogyny so I didn't listen to much rap at home. When she married my stepdad, who is ADOS, she started loosening up when it came to rap since that's what my stepdad listened to. This was in the 90s when Death Row was on top so I listened to a lot of west coast.

Damn. Y’all nikkas better than me. I’m AA and I couldn’t stand old school r&b growing up. My parents and their siblings didn’t listen to it. They came up during the time when house music was everywhere. My grandfather was the only one listening to it because he was from the south.

shyt would always remind me of them old ass winos on the corner of 63rd and Cottage, or some dusty nikka in a zoot suit at the 50 yard line.

Nope. I had to gain somewhat of an appreciation for it as I got older. It’s not really my cup of tea but I like some stuff.

This and jazz was the only old school music that was played in the house. What is this? Big band?

 

[frush11]

Mom loved music and step father was a DJ when he was younger(both from Sierra Leone), with a mean record collection.

So my house was everything from Soukous, Reggae, Funk, Soul, Older Go-go(lived in and outside DC)

To this day that’s my Sunday morning music.

 

[get these nets]

Last night me and my girls sipped some wine and was watching some old Katt Williams stand up and then watched kings of comedy(damn I miss Bernie mac)...

When Steve Harvey started playing Earth Wind and Fire and this Lenny Williams gem

We were all singing along except for my Haitian friend. She was like, “I don’t know this shyt. I didn’t grow up listening to it. I grew up listening to Haitian music” her mom played Haitian old school in her house.

Made me realize that there are probably many others like her that didn’t grow up listening to old school. She also said they didn’t grow up in her household talking about historic events in black
American history either.

For those of you on here that are African, Jamaican, Haitian, Dominican, etc, did y’all parents also not play ados old school?

*not to meant to be a divisive thread. I’m just genuinely curious.

Parents didn't play secular music in the house....American, Haitian or otherwise.

My father regularly spoke to us about Black history....AA, African, Caribbean, Afro Latin. In fact, the only time we could stay up late to watch tv was when there was miniseries or documentary about Black history on TV.

This isn't a divisive topic, but what would make you think that people from other countries wouldn't listen to music from their cultures at home?
