Stevie Wonder defends Bruno Mars

[Stacker Pentecost]

permanently? damn, that's trash.

Alledgedly I can go back at the end of my ‘suspension’ but they keep extending it... i was banned for five hours... then a week... my week was up and they unlocked me for literally five minutes then banned me again for another week. If you get banned more than three times in a row they can suspend you permanently so I’m pretty sure they’re gearing up to permanently deleting my account.

EDIT: For anyone wondering, Bruno’s fans are mass reporting my account as abusive. Lol

Hell Stevie Wonder is proving my point

 

[Master Teacher]

Eminem made rap music for whites
You never heard any of an shyt on urban radio except in detroit when they play the songs he got with trick trick because he made the beat lol

nikkaz keeping up with garbage rappers like logic who couldn't bounce on a track if he was made of rubbery

Bruno mars did the pop lane then moved into the nikka lane like BOB

The bottom line is his joints slap nikkaz can actually listen to this shyt

Justin Timberlake albums ain't never soundr&b

Y'all gotta be undercover cacs because Timberlake and robin thicke never got this much hate and their music is soulless be serious

I'm about to change the subject in here...

 

[Paper Boi]

It’s a week old topic at this point and still making waves which is hilarious. And Stevie Wonder is blind he wouldn't even know what cultural appropriation looks like. Bruno Mars could be a whole white man in blackface for all Stevie knows

For all we know he thought Bruno was Black this whole time and doesn’t understand what all the fuss is about lollllllll

the real problem here is that people still believe that stevie is blind.

how he know that mic was falling over?

 

[Stacker Pentecost]

the fact that people are just now hating on him 3 albums deep, 8 years into the game, on what's his lowest selling album is a testament of this hypersensitive, fake woke ass social media world we live in

FYI I’ve called this man a vulture for years and my first vid on him is literally from two or three years ago



I was honestly surprised it went viral NOW.

If anything, winning those Grammys is gonna be his downfall because him beating damn, 4:44, and awaken my love finally had nikkas like

My 68 year old Black mother loves Bruno Mars. Listens to 24K Magic everyday.

Yeah, that's beautiful.

But, i'm sure she heard it on her Black radio station so many damn times - she fell in love. And probably thinks he's a talented little Black man.

 

[Shadow King]

I should count how many nikkas done turned on Stevie thus far

 

[Take It In Blood]

Black culture = The most popular versions of Air Jordan sneakers

That's why we get copied so much. Ain't nobody tryna cop fake Air Shawn Bradley's. People want fake Jordan's (or real Jordan's). It sucks that we must deal with so much appropriation but it happens because we have a culture worth emulating. That's never going to change.

nope, she got the internet, she knows what he looks like
I think it might be because she likes good music

Those people gave away the music for more money and wanting to cross over. They didn't sell because they couldn't compete, they sold because they wanted a bigger audience.

If you own your equipment, and your master recordings like many of those bands did, there is nothing to keep up. Most of those guys didn't even run labels.

There was never that many black owned stations.

The internet is the greatest equalizers, now. You can get 70/30 splits selling your own music. The only things labels offer is more marketing dollars and less legwork for the artist. Most artists are getting pennies of the revenue,

Who dude?

They sell their catalog/masters - most of the time due to money issues - not crossover opportunities.

And agreed on the Internet - but radio play - especially in the Black community still is in demand - and if these stations are not playing Black music/artist they are not getting the exposure to get more press and love on the internet.

See my mom's around that age - but she doesn't know how to use the internet.

I didn't say it was good or not. I said it was and is played so much it would be rare for someone not to start liking it.
