@OfficialBDelight Preach man. You are so right on this.

@benji321uk FYI Black Music has and always will be called and considered "Good Music"

[OfficialBDelight]

@benji321uk If white people feel some kind of way about "black music" being called that, then that's on them. TBH black people rarely get the recognition for anything positive, but now black music is a billion pound industry and everyone is invested in it, all of a sudden, we need to stop calling it "black music". As I said before, I don't see no one getting irate at titles like "black crime". I hope white people get easily offended by that as they do by the title black music!

@benji321uk if u paid attention to the video, it was actually stated tht black music is called black music due 2 the creators and the originators being black, FACT! People shud acknowledge the people that came before them who had 2 go through a lot of shit 2 create the many genres of black music, music which hs allowed many artists of today 2 make a shit load of money. It wasn't so long ago tht blk music wasn't even allowed airplay on radio because of the race of the originators of the music.

[benji321uk]

just think this argument makes whites feel like if there not black and living in shit that they cant do music like yours even though we love it. i appreciate where it came from but why does it have to be black music nowadays ?cant it just be good music its you people who are still so protective about where it came from you seem to not be looking at where it is now, how ever we got there

[MrSamunkey]

Hip Hop was intended to break down race barriers.. not reinforce them!!!!

If you stay urban you will hold a heavy burden,

If you go mainstream your reaching your dream. . .

Ignorant Or Real ???

@nofukinnamesleft I guessed that, I was just being sarcastic ;@) FYI "African" is not a language. Being as he couldn't even spell, i'm guessing he wouldn't know that!

@OfficialBDelight I think he meant racist
