The only problem is that question of what black music 'is'. I tend to think that hip-hop is a global enterprise; jazz has been about a white audience (and, increasingly, white players) for 50+ years. Reggae is good because it's from the West Indies, not because it's played by black people (with a few exceptions - UB40's first LP anyone?). Indie like TVOTR is poor because it's poor; white people aren't alone in their ability to make poor music, as TVOTR prove. I have some mbrira records - are they black or just good? SYG, PLEASE DECIDE THE ETHNICITY OF MY RECORD COLLECTION.
