@KekePalmer@KeyTVNetwork Love you down Keke but this ain’t it… we HAVE to gatekeep what’s sacred to our culture the way everyone else does. I don’t understand why my ppl feel like we NEED validation from people who impersonate us & utterly refuse to stop trying to emulate our culture! Pls stop this! 🤦🏾♀️
This is basically the same argument people have tried to use against gangsta rap.
I believe music has the power to make you feel a variety of things, but it does not have the power to make you act on anything that wasn't already in you.
Cardi B talks about how black americans fought for equality and should be thanked for it + how history is currently trying to be erased from schools today on CNN News.
@iamMelsmith@TatianaSnead I honestly wish newer artists would try to be futuristic instead of following the same sounds we’ve had
R&B don’t got sonic architects and innovators anymore so now everything sounds stagnant and limited
Anything Black women do has to represent the Black community We’re not treated as individuals. And it’s not really about image. It’s just about controlling what Black women can and can’t do. I don’t know how Black people don’t see the hypocrisy in that lmao.
R&B is so expansive that Janet, TLC, Brandy & Aaliyah all did futuristic R&B without sounding exactly like each other. R&B is only a “box” if the artist is limited
