IT’S COMMON THAT BLACK PEOPLE ARE OPPRESSED & LIMITED TO GANG CULTURE, CARIBBEAN CULTURE, & HIP HOP CULTURE WHILE WHITE PEOPLE ARE WELCOMED IN ALL CULTURES WITHOUT SO MUCH QUESTIONING & REJECTION COMPARED TO A BLACK PERSON TRYING SOMETHING NEW & UNIQUE LIKE SKATEBOARDING OR SOMETHING THAT IS SADLY WHITEWASHED.
MUSIC CULTURE IS SOMETHING THAT’S NOT BASED ON THE COLOR OF YOUR SKIN BUT THE EXPRESSION OF YOUR TRUE AND RAW EMOTIONS & THAT’S WHY MUSIC IS SO ATTRACTIVE NO MATTER WHAT KIND OF MUSIC UNLESS YOU ARE BIASED OR WHITEWASHED. IT IS TRUE SOME MUSIC IS AN ACQUIRED TASTE, BUT IF YOU ARE OPEN-MINDED AND WILLING, YOU WILL LEARN TO LOVE A MUSIC CULTURE JUST LIKE HOW WHITE PEOPLE LEARN TO LOVE OTHER PEOPLE’S CULTURES. THAT WAS A JOKE, BUT IT IS TRUE. WE HAVE TO REALLY EDUCATE OURSELVES & REALLY LEARN OTHERS AS MUCH AS WE SHOULD LEARN OURSELVES AND APPRECIATE ONE ANOTHER.
BUT, GOING BACK TO MUSIC CULTURES. BLACK PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DOING DIFFERENT KIND OF MUSIC CULTURES FOR A LONG TIME. THE CREATION OF SCATTING INSPIRED JAZZ & BLUES, & OTHER MUSIC CULTURES. PRAYER AND COMMUNITY SONGS DURING SLAVERY INSPIRED GOSPEL MUSIC & OTHER SING ALONG KIND OF MUSIC LIKE THAT. JIMMY HENDRIX, JAMES BROWN, BAD BRAINS & OTHER OLD SCHOOL BLACK ARTISTS LIKE THEMSELVES INSPIRED HIP HOP, PUNK, METAL, AND SO MUCH MORE!
BLACK MODERN ARTISTS LIKE AARON HEARD & ANDRE 3000 ARE CARRYING THE TORCH FOR THE PROGRESSION OF BLACK PEOPLE IN DIFFERENT CULTURES.
ANDRE 3000 ON THE LEFT / AARON HEARD ON THE RIGHT
AARON HEARD IS A VOCALIST FOR A HARDCORE BAND NAMED JESUS PIECE(WHICH STARTED OUT AS A SUB-GENRE OF PUNK MUSIC BUT NOW HAS ITS OWN CULTURE AND AESTHETIC & GOT COMBINED WITH METAL MUSIC AS THE MUSIC GOT HEAVIER SOUNDING & LESS TRADITIONAL PUNK-ISH, SO SOMETIMES CAN BE REFERRED TO AS “HEAVY METAL” EVEN THOUGH HARDCORE IS MORE OF ITS OWN MUSIC CULTURE BUT YOU CAN LEAVE A COMMENT AND WE CAN DISCUSS THAT. NOW ENJOY THIS VIDEO!
ANDRE 3000 IS A HIP HOP ARTIST. HE IS PART OF A HIP HOP GROUP CALLED OUTKAST. HE’S NOT A NEW AGE HIP HOP ARTIST LIKE TRAVIS SCOTT OR LIL UZI VERT BUT HE IS STILL A VERY GOOD EXAMPLE OF WHAT IS “BLACK EXCELLENCE” AND WHAT HIP HOP IS TRULY ABOUT OR AT LEAST WHAT IT ORIGINATED FROM AND HE IS STILL MAINTAINING AND SHARING THE TORCH AMONGST HIS PEERS NEW AND OLD NO MATTER WHAT CULTURE THEY FEEL LIKE THEY BELONG TO.
MUSIC IS LIKE A NOTEBOOK, IT CAN BE OPENED AND WRITTEN BY ANYONE THAT WANTS TO WRITE IN IT.
