hhhhh they get into it on there

This episode>

"his ukelele music wasn't popping before he started making black music"

"anyone that walks around saying the n-word is black to me"

:plzstop:

They def do a great job of getting diverse opinions to create a conversation in a cafe

ya rock muh world.

Opinions indeed

"He's nothing but a wedding singer!"

With the amount of anger I see here, you'd think Bruno Mars was out here claiming he lived a thug life or something. Just being blatantly offensive or something. He sings R&B infused POP music.

And his father is a Puerto Rican man from Brooklyn. Like....

"He's not Black at all"

How do you know that? I see goddess obtained his DNA report prior to this session taking place.



LOONA.

I agree that people would rather take black music and black culture from non blacks, but that's pretty much all.

Chris Brown, Trey Songz, Usher, Bryston Tiller etc etc etc music doesn't sound anything like Bruno's so I'm not really buying what she's selling.

Prince, Bobby Brown and MJ aren't current 


!!!!! But we also have to acknowledge that we don't value our own damn artist. We are the kings/queens of telling artist that have made it past their debut album to go somewhere and sit down.

Exactly

And I agree with the other girl when she was talking about should we accept black people making black music when the shit is wack as fuck but then turn around and demean non black people making black music when it's really fckng good.

With Bruno I feel like he grew up with that kind of music, even though his interpretation of it is corny, you can tell he's sincere and genuine with it.
That "Finesse" song sounds like it came from a Bobby Brown album from the early 90's :dead:

Justin Timberlake is the bigger perp IMO, he profits from the culture and stays silent when it comes to black issue's.
He disrespects black legends (Prince and Janet) whilst benefiting from their sound, his production is solely Timbaland and Pharrell, he justs put his pasty pale face over it and it sells like hotcakes.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But let's pounce on a fellow person of color instead.

I wish they were around when Katy had her hair braided up in that "This Is How We Do" vidya , rolling her neck and singing about spending rent money on bottles in the club. I was a bit offended by that. But kwee makes some good bops. :woohoo:

But I definitely knew she was low key racist and clearly an appropriator from that point. But the gorls finally caught on once she just went FULL OWT with it after she began flopping ...and whatever comments she was making about Obama and Trump as she sipped her slurpee in a car.  :plzstop:

I agree 100%
He?s corny, and I?m definitely not a fan especially of this era with
Everything completely copied from early 90s songs
but I don?t think he?s an appropriator. He is a person of color
It is unfair how he gets accolades and opportunities based on being less black than anyone else but that?s not his fault

Because I guarantee if someone like Trey, Chris Brown, Usher or even R.Kelly came out with that kind of music, radio wouldn't play it as much and award committee's and shows wouldn't even pay them any mind.

This is dumb. Bruno has stated in multiple interviews (current and even when he debuted) that he grew up on 90s R&B. He gave props to the legends in his Grammy's speech.

A lot of great points are being made
especially by the girl in the braids who hates him
but I just won?t say he?s an appropriator. He?s overrated and corny
