", but the fact is that at this point in time the majority of black singers are more influenced by radio/MTV/BET than any kind of “pure” church tradition. In other words, they learn to sing “black” the same way their authenticity-seeking white peers do."

motherfucker please. if that ain't the biggest lie.....fantasia's on the phone & jaheim left a message for you & john legend would like to have lunch with you and faith evans said negro please & do i even need to drag robert kelly into this? or almost any other contemporary black singer that is hot?
all of the press releases & interviews i've seen with said artists mention in NO UNCERTAIN terms that growing up in the church (read black church) influenced than more than any fucking mtv/bet....& truth be told, there are very few black music acts on mtv/bet since their inceptions that are NOT steeped in church...please name at least five that get regular rotation that sing r&b? btw, the rolling stones are a british rock band, last time i checked, does power 99 in philly play the stones?

so why was god & church used as the polestar for starting the discussion, are we talkign about blk music & marketing as it relates to other music & marketing or are we talking about blk music & marketing as it relates to the church?are we gonna remove the church fromt he argument cuz if so then we have a whole nother argument going on here....if we're gonna leave jesus in it, then it is as it stands.
