🍵 💅 lets not forget that rock was created by a black woman: Sister Rosetta Tharpe 💕 so technically all of what rock was perverted into was for sure appropriation since it’s the opposite of Rosetta’s founding of it: gospel rock, allowing the artists to be free to connect with God through unorthodox rhythmic sounds & movement.
@A_F_L_Not He got above himself big time, especially when he said he had more hits than Kendrick Lamar and was better than Thug. Like, dude, you've lost your mind.
Alongside Iggy Azalea and Awkwafina, I'd add their predecessors P!nk and Gwen Stefani. I'm old enough to remember how P!nk started out sounding like hip-pop before she lost the accent and took on a more punk persona; and to remember Gwen of her 'Hollaback / Hella Good / Fancy' days.
Yeeeees! Pink!!! People keep trying to say she was forced to do hip hop for her first album....Nooooooo! Where is thsi revisionist history coming from 😆. She was R&B before she got her record deal with LA Reid....I remember the behind the music 😆
Funny story: My three friends and I went on the Maury Povich show in 1995 when we were all 18. It was a ruse we put together to get a free trip to New York (we’re from California). Well, we had our guy friend and our girl friend pretend to be a couple and she was using him for his “riches”. I was the friend who supported her being a gold digger and our other girl friend didn’t agree with it at all. 😂😂😂 We had a great trip and it was all paid for by the Maury Show. And yes, as a full grown adult now, I see him as a culture vulture.
Culture is so important . I am black but not American. I visit resident family & friends often over the years . There are many differences in the black experience . I live where guns & segregation were never legal . Racism rife but not legal or life threatening.
Yaaaas Shaun King, that tripped me out to watch him ‘convert to Islam’ at the height of the Palestinian genocide gaining traction on Instagram back in December 2023.
Would you consider Rich Brian a culture vulture? He grew up in a somewhat middle class suburbs of Jakarta, Indonesia and was homeschooled. A young Indonesian person who's that fluent in English is definitely quite privileged, since these people have access to the Internet and better education. He began his career and blew up under a problematic name and released a meme rap song titled "Dat Stick" where he liberally said the N-word and shot the music video with his Indonesian suburbia friends parodying hip-hop music videos. He, along with other artists from the 88Rising label used black rappers to put their names on the map (tbh 88Rising has always been sus). For some reason he still has a career while contributing nothing to the culture but some slightly above average rap albums. He and the other 88Rising rappers are the reason why I'm quite skeptical when it comes to rap from foreign countries (outside US, I mean, I'm Indonesian myself)
i would like to say, as someone who regularly listens to k-pop, that part of the adoption and appropriation of black culture in the music scene is assisted by black people. a lot of the songs that sound similar to black artist's music in the west (america specifically) is produced, written, and composed by black people to them pantomime to the masses in south korea. nowadays, kpop is actually more popular with westerners than with the actual south korean populace. south koreans typically listen to actual western musicians like bruno mars, post malone (who many can argue is/was a culture vulture in and of himself), and taylor swift. i think the positive part from that allows these kpop artists to be able to actually see, know, and understand black people to an extent, as well as open up the opportunity for black people to make a name for themselves in the korean music industry. but ultimately, there is a kind of cheapness from a lot of kpop artists, even with the assistance of black producers, because they're only mimicking a vibe rather than living it, if that makes any sense at all.
Yes, all of this. But also Kpop isn't really for South Korean's to enjoy either. It's more made to employ South Koreans in the arts using the business models (exploitation models) of the West as its blueprint with a few Korean tweaks. It's also made to keep them as the good Koreans for the western world against their neighbours to the North who they're still at war with. It's only recently that they've been doing videos showing the black producers, choreographers, vocal coaches, etc because it makes them look a little less exploitative. They were barely seen before the BLM movement. But yea, Kpop is very fascinating to me. Be interesting to see what happens in the future.
@@absafcknlutely definitely. this isn't a defense of kpop, i'm just adding to what you were saying in the video as a black person who indulges in that kind of media.
@@evertt7326 yup. i'm partially glad that at least black people are being paid for it, but it doesn't quite yet feel like an equivalent exchange. even now in 2024, it feels like black people are still constantly pushed into the background, to just pull the levers and twist the knobs, instead of being able to actually be in the forefront of their own music. i'm starting to see more black musicians enter the korean music scene (not kpop necessarily), donna goldn immediately comes to mind, but artists like her are so few and far between... i'm hoping the future is brighter for the culture overall, everywhere
I feel like Justin Timberlake is not a vulture, even though some ppl don't like him for whatever reason. He collaborates with black musicians who are mutually happy to collaborate with him (based on the MUSIC), he always gives them props, and I'm pretty sure they are friends and he is genuinely is in it for the music. Can't blame the man if black ppl make the most soulful music and he also feels called to make soulful music. 🤷🏾♂️ Watch the live Sanctified performance from SNL earlier this year. It was 🔥 and so is his new album overall. IMO He def doesn't deserve to be on the same list as these other weirdos just because he's white

@@ljohnson1908 I don't think I've knowingly ever listened to a single song.

I spit laughed at Talcum X
I knew someone that went on the Maury show he said they paid him to pretend his kids weren’t his it was like $500
Lolol whut. That's WILD.

The addition of the KPop , Worldstar/The Shaderoom, and Shaun King had me smiling ear to ear like that meme of Minister Farrakhan.😁
