2564749, Underlying racism is all over the whole Rockist attitude

He asked if there were any Soul artists who were complex or abstract and then when someone mentions Badu he doesn't discuss her lyrics but instead he dismisses her music and says that she's derivative of other artists but he wants more soul artists to write like Dylan or Tom Waits? Why the fuck do they need to write like Dylan to be complex? I'm not going to make a post asking why isn't Dylan more funky like James Brown or Sly.
