I don't care about David Bowie like that but the fact that a white man is married to a black woman proves nothing really.
I threw that in there because they were married for years. The fact is he fought for black artists to be featured on MTV.

I really don't care if a cac dies. Did he doing anything to help black people against white supremacy? :usure:

He was one of the most vocal about getting black artist airtime on MTV.

Now the term white supremacy in this case seems vague but if you are referring to something where he helped blacks against racial and social injustice this was a start :manny:

yeah i'm only 24. it's hard to be well versed on hip hop let alone every genre of music. i consider myself only well versed on hip hop. i have listened to a lot of soul and blues thanks to my parents though.


anyway... with all that said my point is i'd never heard this song till late last night, but i really like it. some people acting like i'm some type of fukking weirdo for not having heard a song that came out like 20 years before i was born. my bad. i fukks with this though.

RIP

Jesus I feel old after this comment....this is my favorite all time Bowie track.
Any who, please explore his catalogue. Some you'll like some you'll quite frankly hate BUT his music was always different, nothing derivative. Very few artists create waves.
Godspeed Brixton boy.

Classic. His death wasn't the biggest surprise considering he has be dealing with cancer for the past year but still remaining active. At least he got to put out one last album. A pretty good one at that.

The Motorhead guy was a racist though.
.

The Nazi memorabilia was a little :patrice: but he caped pretty hard for Chuck Berry and Little Richard saying that they never got their just due because of racism. Anyway, :damn:. This Resnor collab though :wow:
