I know right. There must be something in the air around here for all these silly threads to be popping up like this.

mystery50 said:

And since when did the BET awards include all of African American's taste in music?

mystery50 said:

What point is that? You getting off topic and avoiding the obvious yep that is your point.
I dont let alone never have I lived in either area so I cant answer that. Let alone I was in my early teens abou tthen.MY point is which you are failing to see and another poster mentioned it is that : MUSIC HAS NO RACE!

Quite frankly you cant tell anyone what type of music to listen to just because the artist is a certain race. Let the people decide. Hell even I grew up listening to classical through heavy metal. You arent going to change my or someone elses decision ONLY because the artist is this certain race.THAT IS MY POINT!

Any questions?

purplecam said:

*talking all country hillbilly like*
Since I was brought up with tape decks and radio's and such as we call them "talkingboxes" from our parts BOTH was played too. If not one the walking talking boxes but the ones tha twere stationary as well. Ma and Pa made sure us younging had a way of listening to our tunes so we have a foot stomping good time

toots said:

I saw folks with them boom boxes jamming all sorts of music and P was one of the people who's music was getting some love.

Define "Black people music"...

purplecam said:

mystery50 said:

music that black people enjoy the most and other races usually follow but blacks enjoy it first

purplecam said:

*talking hillbillyish*I didnt even know P's race then until I saw one of them music festivals that was held inside in a BIG place, we even found out how we could record our fiddles to take our foot stomping music with us too.

Preach

mystery50 said:

Look I will admit I wasn't hearing rock music on the corner of 145th and Lenox Av (Harlem-Manhattan) but when I went to my elementary school in Harlem later in the 80's, I had friends who knew rock music and we dug Guns N Roses, Motley Crue and Aerosmith.

2elijah said:

and if you go to any of those people concert you will see very few if any black people because they don't play black people music!

mystery50 said:

How do you know did you live both places at once??? FOR REAL dont answer! IMHO your responces are only proving my point that YOU CANT tell people who to like and not like because of a race. And you cant answer for people who can answer for themselves.YOU dont know what kind of music they listen to when they are little do you NO so please dont answer youd be foolish if you did.YOu didnt grow up with me on one side of the USA and then purplecam on another of the same day of the same year ,did you? NO!
