Sad seeing comments like this when you consider the history of these genres. Black people created house music. Black people have had a huge hand in UK garage. Detroit techno...same thing. That's what the album sounds like.

Vince basically re-entering a (mentally) gentrified genre of music and black people asking him why he's over there. Breh it's the shyt your uncles probably got your aunt pregnant to.
:what:

Not saying if you don't like it you stupid. Nah...music is music, I see why this shyt gonna turn some people off. But please god don't call this shyt gay or white people music as if we didn't start the wave.
This is like saying basketball is still a white man's game because one of them invented it. Things change. In contemporary times, that shyt is music made and catered to by gay and white people. You're makinng a historical argument, but that doesn't change the present.

after watching his interviews and hearing how this album was house influenced imma give it a shot... i dont recognize any of those producers so that already has me questioning if they really gonna nail that house sound but i'll keep an open mind

this is kinda cool...a bit too EDM-ish but Vince was spittin

It's not just historical. Frankie Knuckles was the pioneer of house and remained a major force in the genre until a couple years ago when he died. There's a big house scene to this day in Chicago, LA, Detroit, etc with black people. The music hasn't disappeared. Especially in LA.

And Steve Nash won two MVPs and was in the NBA until recently.
