Which decade had the bigger impact on modern black culture?

[Child_Of_God]

crack era, reagan, fashion, plus what I was told by older folks. shyt seemed horrid. I feel bad for you nikkas that went through that.

80s just seem like a desolate decade, there was prolly some positives but still. im no fan of the 70s either.

No decade is perfect breh.

The 70's gave me almost 90% of the blues, funk, and reggae in my music collection

I was a little kid in the 70's. All I remember was going to school, stabbing a White bully for calling me a n1gger, watching 'Roots' first-run on ABC, the oil embargo, and the Bicentennial. That's also when my grandma died.​

The 80's was fun beyond imagination....until the Crack Epidemic. The music, the movies, the radio, the travelling, the TV shows, etc. It was damned-near impossible to be anti-social when pretty much everything was geared towards socializing. Basically a party from sunrise to sunset.

Crack pushed ALL that to the background and buried it in a little vial.​

You had to be there. Problem is, if you were, you wouldn't want to stay there very long.​

I see what you mean. I was born in the early 90’s but I use to hear my parents talk about how great the 80’s were all the time so maybe it was different for them. I’ve always loved the music, fashion and TV shows from that decade.

Basically, the 80's started like this....​

....and ended like this....​

I chose 70’s.

Wouldn’t have Neo-Soul, GoGo, Hip Hop, House music, Quiet Storm, Contemporary R&B, and Reggae if it weren’t for the 70’s

Even thot culture, where folks think Cardi B started and propagated, actually has it roots with Pam Grier in Foxy Brown during the mid 1970s.

Can't do this thread without the 80's....so fukk this thread....

70's was the best decade for negros in music & cinema

 

[CrimsonTider]

00s

 

[JNew]

"MODERN" then I would say 00s, black culture started to become mainstream. Movies, music and entertainment really started to break the barrier from being black culture to American culture. Then Obama became president. I don't think we really realize the impact yet of the 00s. Once our generation holds the power in another 20 years the 00s will be remembered like the 70's.

 

[Family Man]

I'm 90s kid but the answer is easily the 70s. Also, everybody that was moving the culture forward in the 90s either came of age or was born in the 70s.

 

[Sbp]

the 70s

What sticks out about the 90s was black people having the ball in general doing fukking nothing with it

also fukk generation x as a staff, record label and crew



yeah the 80s was a damn nightmare

2020 is giving me 80s vibes....

Ive always said the same thing about the 90s. We got complacent. Thought we were in a "post racial " society and ended up regressing in the very next decade. Not only did we not do anything with the ball we dropped that muhfukka, Asians, Latinos and LGBT picked it up and ran with it.

 

[Black Hans]

90s easily

 

[DatNkkaCutty]

I wanna say the 90s. I'm an 80s baby (84'), that grew up as a kid in the 90s. As I've seen glimpses of shyt like this tho....it's the 70s.

I had to change my perspective. Homie in a skating in the 70s, using modern slang, and dripped up, like a ngga that could be standin on a block somewhere in 2020. His whole swag...

That shyt 40+ years ago. We see our elders, today, and it's hard to envision them like this, or in their youth. We just spun it and built off the foundation, they created back then tho. The slang, the cussin, music, etc.
