'Black' music today comes in all shades and colors. Bruno doesn't fit into either the white or black camps but when he sets out to make a 'black' record he usually knocks it out the park. Why would I expect anyone to make music that's moving me just based on their race? We're so many generations removed now that a black kid in Philly could be more removed from my music culturally than say a latino or white kid in LA. The talk about this or that being "authentic" is almost always artificial. Give me the music and I'll base my feelings on that and only that.. trying to figure out intentions or motivations is a weird game I have zero interest in.
