Was the attack on Disco racially motivated?

[cartierhoe]

This pisses me off. Totally ruining the fun vibe of music because you hate black people.

Was watching a doc of Nile Rodgers awhile back and he couldn't understand the backlash/hate Chic got for making shyt like "Good Times" and other records


Breh was like yall don't like positivity? shyt is too crazy nikkas can't even be happy in our music smh also props for this thread this been on my mind for awhile as well

 

[ElectroMan]

Hell no.
I feel like everyone else are the outsiders. And they really are.
But it's disheartening seeing how many black folks support black hip hop artists and r&b singers and the rest of them arent' supporting us like that....we need to reclaim the music and the art for the culture and the future. I ain't stoppintg

We ain't even supporting R&B like that anymore. Its amazing how history keeps repeating itself. Look at Jazz

Nile Rodgers song writing and guitar playing was pure fire in the 70s era.

fukk anyone hating on disco.





Nile's Stratocaster guitar is known as the hit maker

 

[George's Dilemma]

Funny how the hate towards disco from the rock crowd progressed to metal fans hatred of rap. I still see slogans like you cant spell crap without rap.

Disco fell off when these crackkkas thought they could do it too.

 

[Cabbage Patch]

This is before my time but
All I see is a sea of cacs dissing and hating on a fun black music genre....

Yes it is. Because cacs sucked at it. They're really making fun of cac attempts.

Meanwhile, let two French boys loop stolen gems from black artists ...

Bingo.

Yet it worked.

My uncle always said white people & gays ruined Disco

 

[Originalman]

Yes OP it has been stated many times by music historians.

That's because RnB/Soul hasn't evolved whatsoever on the mainstream level...

Hip Hop is a genre that changes every decade and the artists that wanna sell merged RnB and Hip Hop...

I think the Weeknd's indie wave was the very innovative, combining RnB, Hip Hop, Alt Rock...

It's like either you got nikkas tryna make the Temptations or you got Trap RnB...

And Trap RnB is trash and I ain't fukking with it...

The UK RnB wave is good...RnB outside the USA has been ahead since the NeoSoul/New Jack Swing era...

That was good.

Like the black usher said. They were allowed to come to the games for like 80 cents if they bring disco records but like in true fashion. People were bringing records of any black artist. Black usher said "these aren't disco."

Boss said well if its around that area just let them in.


Rioting and destruction followed suit after game one. Cacs rushing the field chanting "disco sucks!"

The black usher with the rock radio stations/sponsors shirt was accosted by rioters Chanting "disco sucks".

Why did they go to one of the few black people there chanting disco sucks at him??

They broke a Marvin Gaye record in his face.


Thousands of White kids burning records by black people.

Sorry guys I never did research into disco

And every time there was something about disco on TV it usually involved a homo cac with residue under his nose
