Authenticity is quite marketable now, and for white pop stars that means shifting away from the hip-hop and R&B-influenced sounds that made them famous, and toward the sounds of Southern and country rock. For Timberlake, the pivot should be sonically natural: Originally hailing from Tennessee, Timberlake has never been shy about celebrating his Southern origins.

If you are looking to be a decent human being, don't listen to hip hop.
Hip hop glorifies crime, violence, rape, and encourages "snitches" to be murdered. It views morality and decency as weaknesses. It promotes selfishness as normal. It equates loud, obnoxious behavior as the ideal.
If this garbage is a "contribution" of "Black Culture" then the Bubonic Plague was a "contribution" towards overpopulation in European cities and villages.
The white part I get, it’s the man part that stumps me.
Who cares?

A scene from HBO’s “The Wire” that always cracks me up on the subject of white kids “acting black”.
White kids act black because they’re afraid to act white.

Did he dance at a Super Bowl? Hard to live that down.
That was the best explanation about hip-hop that I’ve ever read!
No that was an absolutely stupid explanation.
Rap was not created to glorify that stuff. Early rappers actually was either against that, or had no real message beyond just being party music.
What was being described is derived from gangsta rap, a branch of it that developed in the early 90s that shoved all of the clean acts like Run DMC, The Fat Boys, Will Smith and MC Hammer right out the door.
God knows what he thinks rap has to do with Europe’s issues. That’s reaching.

Yep,just add a slackjawed hick accent and “you singin’ country now, boy”.
I loathe the recording industry.
Is he gonna be hickhoppin’ about his truck, some brand of beer, and blue jeans like all of the other pop country acts of a few years ago?
White kids act black because they’re told it is bad to act white, and that whiteness has no value, but aping irrational black mannerisms DOES have value.
And we did not correct them.
Our culture has been eradicated in a single generation. I weep.
They’ll tell you that all music comes from the drum and the drum comes from “Mother Africa” (but don’t all people supposedly originate from Africa, so confusing).
The Grand Ole Opry didn’t permit drums.
http://musicweird.blogspot.com/2014/08/the-first-drums-on-grand-ole-opry.html
In its September 30, 1967, issue, Billboard reported that “a full set of drums was used on the ‘Grand Ole Opry’ for the first time in history” when Jerry Reed performed the previous week. (Billboard also misspelled drummer Willie Ackerman’s name.) But was Reed really the first?
For decades, the Opry famously refused to allow performers to use drums, and many artists over the years have been credited with being the first to bring drums to the Opry.
The no-drums rule adversely affected country artists who added rock and pop elements to their music in the late 1950s, which many artists did to remain commercially viable as traditional country waned in popularity. When they performed these crossover country songs on the Opry, they were forced to sound more traditional than they really were.
The rule also adversely affected rock and rockabilly performers who appeared on the Opry. When Carl Perkins’ rock ‘n’ roll classic “Blue Suede Shoes” became a hit on the pop, R&B, and country charts in 1955, he was invited to perform it on the Opry but wasn’t allowed to use drums.
Today, Music Weird will look at some of the artists who claim to be—or are claimed to be—the first to use drums at the Opry.
...The Billboard reporter who wrote about Jerry Reed apparently forgot that Bob Wills used a drummer on the Opry in 1944. Western swing star Bob Wills was scheduled to appear on the Opry for the first time on December 30, 1944, and was told that the Opry didn’t allow drums. Wills told the Opry that he would perform with drums or not at all, so the Opry allowed his band to go on with its drummer...
They’re UnKindred.....not the same natural kind. Congress unnaturalized the country in the 1860’s. They were supposed to keep USA the same kindred via naturalization.
Obama wasn’t born the same natural kind, his parents were not,
Timber lake was acting unnaturally.
