Was it cultural appropriation when Gwen Stefani and Fergie recorded rap/r&b music?

[Luken]

Stefani was a culture vulture enabled by Pharrell

at most, this could be said post Love. Angel. Music. Baby era,

prior, she was always straight....

a lot of capes flapping in here for these appropriators

Are we talking about Macklemore or are we talking about Gwen?

Macklemore was clearly pandering to white audience that found him "safe hip hop" and Iggy Azalea had a fake "black" accent. I never saw Gwen do anything different besides the style of music. She still had the same weird ass voice she always had. There's a difference between having a black artist beside you and coming up shoulder to shoulder with them.

Where is this video you talking about tho? My opinion might change.

Its in the op lol.


She trying to look like a chola, aka a mexican gangster girl


Edit: that bytch is dancing a room full of piñatas towards the end too

Ska is "yardwashed" Afram Rock/R&B.

Ok that was some hilariously dumb shyt. I give a lot of so cal artists a pass because it is so diverse but that was foolishness. bytch looked like a bootleg Carmen Miranda.

Culture appropriation is dumb shyt to me. If I make an anime is that culture appropriation. Now if they taking songs from other artists that's one thing, bit doing a style of music is not biting. If that's the case any black movie is cultural appropriation. Matter fact if the script was made using paper that is cultural appropriation of Chinese culture. Elvis taking SONGS from other nikkas is cultural approbation

This guy wrote and produced Don't Look Any Further by Dennis Edwards.

He also wrote "Ain't No Woman Like The One I Got" for the Four Tops, and "I Live For Your Love" by Natalie Cole.

They were both role models growing up...wanted to be like them so bad. Looking back might be guilty of appropriation tbh

To be fair, that was DISCO which was a culture that embraced errbody...............which is why 'White' people killed it.......​

She was 16 years old (and Canadian) when she did this song.

eh i think that's kinda different

was No Doubt or Fergie in anyway actually involved in said cultures they were appropriating like Blondie and punk artist & hip hop were? were they playing shows with them?

They didn't 'appropriate' anything. They were playing a type of music that had been around since the 70's in Great Britain........

[Lootpack]

Remember when Nelly Furtado worked with Timbo and put out the best music in her discography?

 

[KingsOfKings]

Was looking for the thread on this but this maybe the closest to the premise
