deathofasalesman: Black Artists Thread

deathofasalesman 06.10.20	took 30+ mins to make a much larger list, click submit and it's a blank page wtf sput. anyway hope we can restore those numbers with user recs, and make em count
Minushuman24 06.10.20	Worked a Michael Kiwanuka show this February, the man is so incredibly talented. Denzel Curry is one of my favorite rappers at the moment. I'll definitely need to check out Pure Disgust, it is always nice to see the scene more diversified. Negro Terror, Radkey, and Soul Glo are some others that come to mind.
Divaman 06.10.20	Jimi Hendrix (and especially The Jimi Hendrix Experience) - Hard Rock/Psychedelic Tina Turner (and Ike and Tina Turner) - soul, pop, R&B Those are two of the greats.
JustJoe. 06.10.20	* d’angelo — “brown sugar” * maxwell — “embrya” (neo-soul for both)
Emim 06.10.20	Michael Jackson but also not Michael Jackson
Dewinged 06.10.20	Just jamming Funkadelic now, should be up there.
JustJoe. 06.10.20	y’all too quick
dmathias52 06.10.20	Moses Sumney - Aromanticism Art Pop/Folk Yola - Walk Through Fire Country
Dewinged 06.10.20	This list could have thousands of entries, so many black artists that have been influential in modern music, I mean, Coltrane, Hendrix, etc, we could go on forever.
JustJoe. 06.10.20	mims i can’t even with that comment 😅
highandtight 06.10.20	Death - ...For the Whole World to See All-black Detroit proto-punk band. They had begun recording their debut album in 1975 when Columbia insisted that they change their name. They told the label to fuck off and Columbia pulled their support of the album. The band disappeared. 34 years later this album, consisting of 7 songs recorded in the 1975 session, was released. It's fucking good.
Relinquished 06.10.20	bad brains candiria dalek gang starr goldie j dilla jlin moodymann outkast oxbow the roots sun ra ugk
unclereich 06.10.20	Here’s a list of black owned stores you should shop at
Relinquished 06.10.20	and yea this list could be filled with thousands of artists
random 06.10.20	Sevendust (nu-metal) Whole Wheat Bread (pop-punk)
deathofasalesman 06.10.20	thanks for the recs y’all. getting dinner right now but I’m hoping we can keep this civil as it goes on. make a habit to listen to black voices because we know you’ve listened to enough car seat headrest as it is.
Minushuman24 06.10.20	Could be thousands of artists true, but putting a spotlight on some lesser known POC artists can't be a bad thing
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.10.20	Welp, looks like you got all of them
ArsMoriendi 06.10.20	Erykah Badu - New Amerykah Part One (4th World War) (neo-soul) Parliament - Mothership Connection (funk) Stevie Wonder - Innervisions (soul) Cymande - Cymande (funk) J Dilla - Donuts (hip hop) Herbie Hancock - Head Hunters (jazz/funk) Stanley Clarke (jazz-fusion) Fela Kuti - Zombie (afrobeat) Love - Forever Changes (folk/baroque pop)
highandtight 06.10.20	For 21 if you change the artist name to "Death (MI)" the album will display properly.
Minushuman24 06.10.20	God damn, I haven’t seen the name whole wheat bread in a long time. I mean, if we’re gonna get some more people across the spectrum Robert Johnson has got to be on here Not my favorite, but mint green is a new comer emo pop punk band O. Children is a fantastic modern post punk band William onyeabar Pressure cracks/letlive I suppose Black pumas Fka twigs and little simz
deathofasalesman 06.10.20	@pots: enough with the predictable comments and rec some shit no one has ever heard
Dewinged 06.10.20	"putting a spotlight on some lesser known POC artists can't be a bad thing" I like this approach very much.
botb 06.10.20	Bracewar
deathofasalesman 06.10.20	agreed. at the same time it's important to acknowledge major artists like erykah badu, michael jackson, robert johnson, etc.
botb 06.10.20	But really, there’s a ton of great hardcore bands with members of color. Start with burn
deathofasalesman 06.10.20	"recs have to at least be fronted by a black musician," so bracewar won't be added. awesome drummer tho. gonna add burn to the list
IAmScott 06.10.20	Tribe Called Questttttt

unclereich 06.10.20	Good man, and that’ll do. Screw is a fucking legend
deathofasalesman 06.10.20	a classically-trained genius, he left us too soon
botulist 06.10.20	now that you’ve segregated them, what happens? also, check Julius Eastman also, check all of jazz also, x Ray spex are first wave punk, not new wave
EyesWideShut 06.10.20	What about some good soul from folks like Otis Redding, Ray Charles, James Carr, James Brown.. and delta blues like Howlin Wolf, Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Son House, Leadbelly.
Deathconscious 06.10.20	fronted? what if they write the music, id say thats more important than fronting.
EyesWideShut 06.10.20	Suffocation should be here
Keyblade 06.10.20	da lench mob
Deathconscious 06.10.20	also what about black drummers? this seems a little limiting.
