HOLY SHIT I'M WHITE????!!!?

probably explains why it's so bad

le cultural appropriation xDxDxD

do you know what an influence is? there's plenty of post-punk and new wave elements mixed in there as well

>>61942140
Mate you don't know what you've done, there are people on this board who believe in cultural appropriation.

Blame that on Eno, he was the Fela fan and introduced him to Byrne.

White people are better at everything. We are more creative and disciplined at our crafts.

>>61942140
there's a thin line between being influenced by something and straight up stealing though
this uninspired piece of rubbish is exactly like a fela kuti record by a bunch of white cucks

>>61942258
Fela Kuti > Talking Heads

I made like 3 different powerpoint presentations about Talking Heads for class when I was in elementary school

Was I born a patrician?

>>61942258
Oh hello /pol/

Fela Kuti = Talking Heads

>>61942342
Talking Heads never even made an album that's good all the way through.

Because music isn't determined by skin color?

Just because a genre originates from a particular place/culture/people doesn't mean they can be the only ones to make it. Nearly every genre has been attempted by multiple ethnicities, races, nationalities etc. and often times the results are better than the original.

>inb4 /pol/ le racist
Here's some examples. Rock music was invented by black people, yet most of the classic rock album canon is made by white musicians. Punk is a genre invented by white people, but bands like Bad Brains exist who are just as good as the originals. Electronic music was invented by white people, yet many great dance records were made by blacks and asians.

This is fucking stupid music lol! Sounds like some shit someone coked out of their skull in 1987 would be listening to.

>>61942258
Except at jazz, blues, soul, funk, disco, hip hop, reggae, dub, samba and basically any other black-invented genre that's not rock or EDM.

>>61942456
Well at least we're better at sports.

>>61942385
gimme some of that aboriginal goth music

>>61942385
decent b8

I fucking hate Byrne. Stupid autistic fuck stealing ethnic music to make silly little songs about calendars and geometric shapes and other asperger shit.

How did they even become mainstream?

>>61942516
not b8 friend
being a certain race doesn't automatically make you better at a certain genre and you're the racist if you legitimately believe that

>>61942482
Except at basketball and American football which are only sports that matter anyway. Also any sport of athletics.

who /r/coontown/ here

>>61942376
Yes they did.

>>61942527
This is either bait or someone who's obviously super insecure. Can't really tell.

>>61942560
>American football
Then how come 95% of great quarterbacks are white and QB is universally regarded as the most important position?

How did you not see that joke flying over your head?

>>61942595
>>>/pol/

>>61942551
Do you really think some white suburban kid would be better at making rap/funk/soul/jazz/afrobeat music than a black person?

No. We've seen it and the result is Aesop Rock "enlightened" rap shit, future funk, blue-eyed soul, smooth jazz, and vampire weekend/paul simon. All fucking garbage.

>>61942595
Glad your racist cesspoll got shut down.

>>61942725
If only 4chan would do the same and shut down /pol/, it's too bad this site is run by a bunch of racists

>supposedly support freedom of speech
>"you're not allowed to say anything I don't agree with! left view points only!"

>>61942725
has anyone ever told you that you worry about the wrong things in this life?

what are 5 albums i should i listen to if i really enjoy this and the rest of their discography

>>61942743
Do you understand what a containment board is?

>>61942751
Freedom of speech goes out the window when it's literally hurting people and advocating hatred and violence.

>>61942743
Does it trigger you?

>>61942751
A private organization has no obligation to support "free speech," cry more faggot. Racism shouldn't even be part of free speech anyway.

>>61942669

>All fucking garbage.

(in your opinion)

Reddit tried that, it just became a place for concentrated racism so they deleted it and just ramped up their moderation policies to keep the site relatively clean. Can't believe I'm saying this, but this site should really follow their example.

>influence

no, this is not an influence or an inspiration. nothing in this album is authentic.

this band is considered one of the best of all time because they stealed their sound from african musicians.
