If you want to know more about Dev Hynes passion for dance and music, then you can read this interview with Kindness, as the two friends chat ahead of Blood Orange’s third album: daily.redbullmusicacademy.com/2016/06/kindness-blood-orange-interview
Fun fact: the song ‘Champagne Coast’ has a drum sample in the background that is from Arthur Russell 24>24 compilation album called “You Can’t Hold Me Down” AND it’s no doubt that I find it intriguing to the human eye how amazing Dev just incorporated it into his music to tribute the underground NY artist Arthur.
the racial talk is just BS for 2017, come on just look at the panel of guests RBMA had in the last few years, just have a look who is on top of charts, just have a look of how much Prince was regarded... it just saddens me that we still hear that sort of frame of thinking in 2017...ask why Kanye West is more praised than the great Stevie Wonder
trump is president of the united states. Just because black artists are celebrated in this very meta subsection of international music-heads doesn't mean that most music listeners/journalists/professionals/etc. are as socially progressive. racism is still very much interwoven into every facet of American life (I can only truly speak for my country), and it won't go away for a while. Is it better now in terms of recognition of black talent? Yes of course. Is it completely equalized? No not at all. And Kanye is literally in the middle of his career, whereas Stevie already had his time and made his impact in ages past, so of course right now it's going to seem like Kanye is more lauded. In 50 years they'll both just be looked back on as great black artists, I don't get your point.
Also, and I should've just said this, the fact that you so discredit kanye west despite his irrefutable aesthetic contributions within the same musical spaces as stevie (just a generation or two later) is completely reinforcing Dev's point. Right now it's not cool for "serious music heads" to be into Kanye in the same way that the people who wouldn't recognize marvin while he was alive probably recognized jazz as art music. People will look down on black forms of music until they can be viewed in retrospect and then it's clear how amazing those artists were compared to their contemporaries, but lots of people would get so much flak for admitting that kanye is a genius right now while he's still active. you literally just proved his point.
Yoo the questions of people in the audience are so basic.. people ask questions just to be noticed really. Great to give a platform to such an artist though @rbma

Agreed! Love what this guy is doing with his art, super down to earth and humble as well.

Kanye should be held in the same regard as Stevie. Both geniuses.
