I'd like to see more crossover between white and black music. That's something I've been advocating for years.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Historically, black music has influenced other cultures and other genres and created other genres.
Anybody under the age of forty knows hip-hop, gospel and R&B pretty well, and it's all a part of what we consider to be 'black music.' There is a natural synergy between the three.
The problem is the following, black music is increasing encumbered by white elements, often pleasant but always superfluous, easily and advantageously replaced with black elements.
I think it would be nice to see more of an open culture to different music.
American music culture is black culture.
Music is all of a sudden much more colorful.
I see myself as a hip-hop artist, but I never wanted to make music for a specifically white audience. That's not what I grew up around.
Music has no race. It appeals to everybody.
I don't think I'm really so unique. If every black person looked at their life they would quickly discover that they have been influenced by every type of music prevalent in America.
A whole generation of young whites have involved themselves with traditional Negro music.
