52. "your reading comprehension has failed you" In response to In response to 51 Wed Dec-08-21 11:40 AM by atruhead
he didnt say "I dont like it", he went so far as to call it trash
full disclosure, I dont love much rap without drums. but I respect the artist's vision, especially when they're of Ka's caliber
>Then you accused him of trying to dictate what "black art" >is.
my exact words were "maybe stop trying to dictate what black art should be as a white man"
the same thing happened with To Pimp A Butterfly, it wasnt music that made most white rap fans comfortable enough and they dismissed it
To me that sounds like you are saying that you are the >arbiter of what black art is and that you have decided that >his opinion is irrelevant.
how is me cordially addressing a white person's limits on what constitutes as "good" black music trying to be an arbiter?
I would interpret that as negative. >It would also upset me too if someone tried to discount my >opinion in that way. This discussion devolves from there.
I wasnt angry, confrontational or anything of the sort. I gave him something to consider, his whiteness took offense.
If I cant confront issues of race on a message board started by The Roots, I dont know what the fuck is going on
