What is Black British culture?

[Eastside Get The Money]

Stabbing bruvs innit

 

[MischievousMonkey]

Don't know much about UK culture but I know African American culture/music is global and corrosive

Just like it took a lot from African culture/music, the world is now taking from it

 

[Hellmont]

Do West Indians and Africans live in the same areas in London?

Also is it African vs Caribbean or does everyone stay in their crew among these hundred or so groups?

Looks like everyone uses slang that originated from Jamaica in the UK

 

[K.O.N.Y]

The biggest black artists in the U.K. aren't rappers.

And anyway, rapping was invented by Jamaicans, so if anything, we gave you man a style to run with.

Again another false statement. This has been debunked plenty of times on this site

It's Londoners being big fish thinking they're taking up as much space of the big pond as they did the old small one. Tbh I'm surprised they haven't clocked onto how Americanised they can be. Like they play NFL at Wembley as if we (the nation) could give a shyt

No one gives a shyt about the NFL here.

Most of the fans that go to those games are Germans and American ex-pats.

One of my AA friends from South SC who stayed in London for a while and told me Africans and pretty much everybody there looks down on West Indians.

They literally copy everything we do. Don’t even get me started on Africans.

Their culture is stealing from still other popular black cultures but being 5-10 years behind

That's not true at all if you're not counting the parents. I've been to the UK numerous times having family there and i can tell you Africans and West Indians have good relations. My cousins used to run heavily with Jamaicans growing up.

Hell, Africans used to pretend to be Jamaicans(and still using Jamaican slang even today) not even 15 years ago. Ofc that's not the case anymore once African music and culture blew up the past few years.

Ay @AB Ziggy that "peng ting called madison"

 

[Elle Driver]

AA culture goes back to southern culture that’s why you a never hear no AA talmbout I can’t understand mumble rappers. It ain’t no mumblin to us. Of course you have different parts of AA culture (regional), but AA roots go back to the south. If you ain’t living in the south you shole got family there.
