Does making obvious attempts to cross mean that it's bad or poor quality? Thriller, Purple Rain...shit everything on Motown was created to sell to as many people as possible of all backgrounds so does that automatically make them white bread or bland?

The reason I asked that question is because I think we can forget that mass amounts of Black folks can like some shit that other people might look at as corny or white bread. George Duke, Grover Washington...Smooth Jazz in general is big with a ton of Black audiences so I question the validity of calling this stuff white bread simply because it's not gritty.
