How can you say such a thing.
Black people were made to build your country.
They are citizens and they are treated as second class. Where are they
supposed to go??
Your attitude is bizarre, you can't like black music and think like this.
Black music has done more to bring about racial harmony than any other type of
music.
I know many white people who listen and repect the artists and there plight.
Why does Lauren's success bother people so much? If you were dissing Wyclef or
Praz I could understand it.
Many of stuff the people call jazz today (e.g. ninja tunes etc), is simply
rehashed music based on the creativity of musicians of real genius. Even
allowing for technology a lot these modern guys would have been studio
engineers back in the day.
At least Lauren writes songs with lyrics that are meaningful.
I think we all need to check ourselves. Are we into music because it's good,
or because it's underground and makes us cool?
No more lauren dissing, let's stick to talking about the music we love.
IT'S ABOUT MUSIC AND NOT PERSONALITIES.
I love Badu's music but I'm not to keen on her, I hate Will Smith's music but
I like his films.
What???
