On one hand, maybe. On the other hand, dude has been on a black musical trip since the age of 4. His father performed Little Richard songs and his uncle was an Elvis impersonator.

I also wonder if it was a case where Bruno been Bruno but development said "if you want to be on the radar, you have to do this"

Then again, everything he has done comes off as real.
Why give this dude a hard time but not someone like Kanye who is now using house music and house references. What gives Kanye any right to use house music in his music? He was never a part of that culture.

I mean, off the top of my head...
Miguel with the conk
The Cool Kids with 80s throw back
Andre 3000 and his whole shtick
Janelle Monae being...Janelle Monae.
Prince being Prince
Kanye being Kanye (shutter shades, the horrible fucking shag haircut era)
