“he can’t get white radio DJ’s to play his single “Shame” to save his life”
I wonder if there’s a study of “white stations” and “black stations” playing the same music genre and, if so, whether “black stations” play more songs by white artists than “white stations” play songs by black artists.
For some reason I doubt that is the case.
Geez if it wasn’t for Katy Perry or Taylor Swift, there wouldn’t be any white artists on Top 40 radio.
Maybe your song just sucks, Tyrese.
I was a big fan of top 40 radio back in the late 50s through the late 1960s. One could hear Aretha Franklin, Johnny Cash, Beach Boys, the Beatles on and on ad infinitum.
after that I listened to album rock...which limited my exposure preventing me from hearing much of the Black, Country and Pop musicians of various stripes....but there was some great hard rock in those days.
Currently, for me, there hasn’t been anything new worth listening to. but when I do here cRap (the current black music), I am completely turned off....and in the car, I seem to be assaulted by it, not by black kids....but by wiggers with their hats on sideways and their brains in backwards....Guess the white kids are the only ones who can afford the incredibly powerful sound systems.
thank goodness for the USB input in my new truck. I am teleported back to the 50s/60s/70s.
By blaming everything on Whitey they don’t have to face the fact that their problems are self-inflicted.
Another example of “Black lies matter...er...lives. Lives. Black lives matter.”
Well, I’m clueless about this. I listen to the blues mostly. Which is 75% black. R&B and Pop are all shyt to me. They are mostly channeling Michael Jackson anyhow. I couldn’t stand him either. Mariah Carey makes me want to burn my ears out. Katy Perry is not bad if you watch her stuff on video with the sound off and Albert King playing on the stereo.
Rap – a form of meaningless drivel popularized by black American disc jockeys and talentless entertainers unable to play traditional instruments. Characterized by offensive symbolism and childish metaphors generally designed to objectify women and demean white society, it is essentially chanting and derivative of grade-school playground taunts and inner-city sports cheerleader routines.
Rap is entirely without redeeming social value and consistently fails to impart any insight or wisdom into the tricky business of being slightly superior to baboons on the evolutionary ladder. It is totally dependent upon street, prison, or ghetto experience for its vocabulary, which is predominantly slanguage arranged in doggerel and delivered in a monotonous thumping rhythm reminiscent of sub-Saharan mating dances.
The message of rap is generally a monologue of boasting about sexual conquest or resisting established patterns of social and civil behavior in modern American society. Practitioners project a glib arrogance and total disdain for formal education, responsible behavior, and decent manners.
That made me LOL.
Is that some black dude in Jan Brady’s room?
Maybe Tyrese you suck, and you have a voice that makes people want to listen to cats screaming, more than what you have to offer.
That's Tyreese's death scene from "The Walking Dead." He was having a vision of a former group member who came back from the dead to serenade him. She might as well have been Jan Brady...
The Clean Up Woman is a good example of that easy showmanship. The guitar intro is distinctive, and the vocals sound natural. Vocals modeled on gospel singing.
Yes Tyrese,white America is actively avoiding that noise that you call music.So what are you going to do about it?
:)! LOL
>>You know it and I know it.
One of my favorite songs since 1975 has been “play that funky music (white boy)”. I’ve never seen Wild Cherry performing it and I was watching it on YouTube a few months ago and was shocked to discover that they are actual white boys!
So my well-developed White Privilege has been in operation since I was 13.
He should take his complaint to Mr. Interlocutor(Obama) and ask for an executive order!
My dad called that a “wish in one hand and **** in the other”.
One, Tyreese is an R&b/Soul singer, not a rapper. I used to listen to a lot of hip hop, all that mess you just wrote proves you know nothing about it. Now I would agree that most (but not all) rap has no redeeming value but you have no clue what it is or where it came from.
As for the article, I listen mostly to easy listening music now, i.e. White stations and to be honest they do play some Timberlake and a lot of Sam Smith and Adele. While they do play some older black R&B artists like Lionel and Prince I honestly can’t remember them playing the music from a more contemporary black artist. I don’t know why and while I wouldn’t just to conclusions yelling racism...it is a revelent discussion. Tryeese is a good singer and would fit in nicely
Edit: Contemporary black R&B artists, they play pretty much anyone in the easy listening genre.
