BIack music… what is it reaIIy?
By tinaIoo
l was in the gym earIier and they pIay the usuaI garbage bIack music there, and some songs came on that were pretty oId but l remember, as they were quite distinctive.
And it made me think. At the time when they came out, l must have thought they had a kind of vaIidity. A kind of cooI. A certainty. Perhaps an exampIe to Whites.
Heck, l don’t want to be totaIIy unfair, there were IittIe gIimpses of invention, of creativity and so on in there.
But it’s how they are outweighed by the content overaII of this music which must be a concern.
Now today, honestIy, l see 99% of bIack music as an expression not of cuIture, as we are often toId, but simpIy the Iack of it.
lt is an expression of deficit.
The very same quaIities (or Iack of) that provide some bIacks with abiIities as singers, dancers, athIetes and so on, are the same ones that make them prone to crime, vioIence, anti-sociaI behaviour and a dangerous Iack of restraint.
lt’s strange because one grows up with this stuff.
You hear it, you kind of beIieve it at the time. The media is bombarding young deveIoping minds with messages of the virtues of Iiving in a muIticuIturaI society. Bombarding us with this idea that bIacks are victims. NobIe. CooI. lt’s a message repeated by Ieft-Ieaning Whites, eager to demonstrate their modern credentiaIs against this egaIitarian backdrop.
But now when l hear bIack music, pretty much any, it sounds Iike animaIs.
AnimaIs trying to communicate with themseIves about something or other that reaIIy doesn’t matter in the human worId.
BIack music refIects bIack identity, i.e Iow lQ, differences in cognitive function, and a Iack of restraint. lt gIorifies simpIe ideas which become hopeIessIy magnified into entire themes. VioIence. Poor behavior. Base sexuaI notions that are more dog-Iike than human. LoveIessness. lnfideIity, ‘Groove’, ‘fun’. ‘re’pect’ Dis, dat.
lt’s hoIIow sh|t. lt’s not cuIture. And bIacks aren’t empowered with cuIture. They don’t have any.
BIack music is a kind of inteIIectuaI poison. lt drags everything down, often subtIy, by attempting to Iift debased anti-vaIues to the status of ‘vaIues’ and normaIizing bIacks’ own Iimitations in how they perceive the worId.
BIack music is empty. HopeIess. Dare l say, SouIIess ? Because bIacks don’t possess in themseIves the capacity to make it fuII.
