This clip still being relevant to this day about Bruno Mars.

her saying people want to hear black music from a non black face reminds me of this scene from sinners

She wasn’t entirely wrong. I hate when people be like “well he gives credit” that doesn’t change what he’s doing. If he looked like Macklemore yall would be more annoyed.

1. Bruno always works with, gives credits and values black music. 2. Mike wasn’t always the creator of something. 3. Be mad at the establishment not the person.

she can shut thee fuck up

i couldn’t care less about bruno mars, but the way this lady beautifully articulated every single thought, with supportive evidence, just reminded me that we have podcasters and streamers and tiktokers who are dumb as a rock in comparison.

Damn never thought about but… She right I still like Bruno, but she’s definitely right…

This is the episode that got me to start watching the Grapevine. It’s the best YouTube show that ever existed and the old episodes need to be put up again

This clip was pathetic back then and it’s still pathetic today. He has never considered himself an originator nor has he never given credit where it’s due. Also diluting his work to “karoke and wedding stuff” screams of someone who doesn’t know music production

Same with Miguel. He doesn’t know who he is so he constantly changes his look to mimic whatever black r&b singer he’s cool with at the moment.

lol just hating loud and proud. If someone openly and continuously speaks about their inspirations & references, that is the opposite of a culture vulture.

Saying that she’d be happy if he passed away it’s crazy as fuck like this is the type I’m going off the deep end shit just to prove your point and pick a side I can’t get with. We become really desensitized to this and we think it’s cute and striking when we say weird shit

Whoa! If she’s not a defense attorney, she should be! She’s so effortlessly commanded attention and made her case. 🤯

I’m a big Bruno fan and I think that she made SOME good points. But Bruno has never claimed to be an originator, and in fact gives all credit where it’s due when it comes to his musical influences. People just have a problem with Bruno succeeding in the r&b funk & soul genres 🤷🏽‍♀️

But you hate him ? Lol why she hate ppl

To hate someone that much? Lol

She broke it all the way down!

Hating him that much to where you would bake a cake for when he dies is so extreme.

If don’t know it’s time to find out!

The way she’s just mad because that dude is talented and loves our music……he always gives props, always showed respect to our culture. He’s actually the only one who is doing is right. Letting the world know who inspired him and how. He never took credit for anything.

She was spitting omg she didn’t say one thing wrong

And this is why Cowboy Carter DESERVED that album of the year.

Both things can be true, Bruno can acknowledge the roots of the sound he perpetuates openly & Bruno’s success can also be attributed to his racial ambiguity & his presentation of Black American sound of the past through his non-black self. She is spitting.

Most people still assume this man is black though. From their point of view they are listening to music from a black man. He gives credit and has been vocal about his background, even though it wasn't necessary. It's not his fault the music landscape is set up the way it is

He’s a Karaoke Singer… 😂😅

She right but I still like Bruno mars

She lost me at Michael Jackson 😬🤷🏾‍♂️

I remember these conversations damn we really been complaining about the same things for so long

I always said if Bruno Mars was to re record this they would think it was the best thing since sliced bread.

It’s ridiculous. He has always given credit to black bands and singers for the style of his music. He has never pretended otherwise.

I remember this episode shook the Twitter tables and got Bruno’s attention

Y’all complain about everything when Bruno always gave credit to black artists. He never claimed to be an originator of anything but just made music that he loved which is culture appreciation…. Also, blaming him for getting Album of the year is ridiculous, not his fault

Michael Jackson was the king of POP. Like Bruno, he built his legacy on a mostly White fan base. Her rant misses so much nuance.

I’m not the biggest fan of Bruno like that, but she’s doing too much. Mad at Bruno for something that’s been in place since before any of us were born

No one looks at Bruno Mars and sees a black man for 1. 2 he actually makes great music. I can name multiple original HIT songs. Her reason for hating him is cuz he’s racially ambiguous and white people like him…
