Anyways, I'm 100% done with this issue. I really don't care for discussing race issues, and that's really what this has become about more than anything, even though I was arguing pretty much entirely from a music standpoint.
I love black people and the music they've made over the years as much as anyone else, but skin color isn't an issue to me. I like the music and I'm comfortable just knowing that it's good music, and don't get hung up on whether or not this artist or that artist doesn't get nearly as much recognition as they should have, since I think there's probably thousands of artists that don't get the recognition they deserve. Older music that founded everything we listen to now in general is way overlooked, but it doesn't really matter, it just means that there's more music for me to listen to that others don't know about.
