“, but I AM STILL tired of your people stealing our ish! And our people not recognizing it when its happening.”

Where in the world have you been? Caucasians have been copying our music for several generations. And weather if you recognized it our not, we have taken note but it doesn’t affects most of us because this is nothing new. Instead of getting frustrated, try understanding why they imitate us. Why? Because Black people are what’s up! We are the most talented creatures on this Earth and they can’t help but bite our style!

———————————————-

People are making negative comments about these Caucasian artists because color of their skin and not their talent…that’s so shallow. We scream about wanting to be equal and having peace yet we do not dispense it. LOL. We need to respect them because at least they got talent. I don’t care if you purple, green, a lesbian or from another country. As long as you have a REAL talent of singing and have a desire to make music regardless of the genre, I can’t do nothing but respect you.

What we need to do is put more effort into getting rid of artists who are corrupting the airwaves into thinking it hot to be a criminal and selling drugs as well as eleminating some of these artists/singers who expose their bodies and sell sex to market their their albums.

i love this song!! it is sooo hot!
dc u r sooo sexy i’m ur friend on myspace
lol
luv ya!!
-alicia
~muah!~

Sorry about that “their” yall…typing error.

But the song is cool. I suggest he change the beat and he’ll make it.

This is a nice R&B song. I have to agree with some of the posters above. Brothas are just puttin’ out straight garbage. How many songs can you put out about someone’s big booty. Today’s black male r&b singers are just commercialized field negroes.

This song is nice, smooth, drink of sensual. This white boy is good and he’s bringing back 90’s R&B. I will buy his cd. When is it dropping? Very Jon B. but MUCH better. And he looks better too.

i like it to me music is music no matter who singing it..white , black, indian, asian, pruple or green music is music.

Ok..I just went to his website. Listen to more of his stuff.

This white boy is straight up fire! All his songs are excellent. This is actually the weakest joint he’s got.

He needs to release and album. He’s definitely bringing back that ole school r&B. He’s not relying on hooks and beats. It’s just his voice, beautiful respectful lyrics and sensual melody.

GO WHITE BOY, GOOOOOO!!!!

Soul has no color (Michael McDonald is a good example)! Pretty Ricky has soul, Ciara has soul, huh? A lot of these artists in general are using music as a vehicle for other projects (movies, clothing lines etc) and they sound like crap. Like previously mentioned soul is a feelling. There are a lot of Black artists out here who have black people coaching them and still lack soul. If we do not want “white” people to use “our” music as a means to another end then Black artists need to step up their musical game. But if we continue to put out some of the garbage we are putting out and we continue to fail in our support of the Angie Stones, Lyfes, Urban Mystiqs and Anthony Hamiltons then THEY will continue to “use” our music to “get” what they want.

It’s aight. I have to listen to it more. Jon B. def sound better than this dude, I miss him he needs some new music.

Black people can be the most racist people ever- if you dislike him do it for his music, not because he’s white. That’s considered racist, because he is being pre judged and dismissed on the color of his skin. (Read:prejudice)

And for all you people that complain that whites have stolen black music for generations- yes you’re absolutely correct, however we aren’t enslaved/Jim Crowed now, are we? Yes there are still barriers and roadblocks, but how about we try to advance and break those barriers down rather than bitching that they’er there. As a race, we like a goddammned damsel in distress, waiting for some knight in shining armor to save us.

You know what else is funny, let concreteloop or any other blog post something about Beyonce doing something entrepreneurial and we get a resounding chorus of ‘why dont she sit down!’. As much as I dont like Beyonce style of music, I respect what she’s doing as a business woman- keeping it in the family, making investments and doing it while she’s young.

And to reiterate some of the points made above- there are only so much booty- i wanna sex you- im in da club- shawty buy me a drank CRAP that can be produced and consumed.

Final point- I am a big Robin Thicke fan, and please do some research before you assume that Pharell ’schooled’ him. Robin wrote produced and arranged all of his tracks , except the one he did with Pharell on his album. He has been in music since a teenager, and has been writing tracks for other black artistes. Robin also does not always sing in falsetto- if you listen to his first album, and anyone who is grown/married can relate to his music more than the r/b crap that gets played on the air.

Isn’t that Derek Jeter?

@72 - You made a good point! There are white artist out like Justin Timberlake that switched it up once pop music faded out. But with Robin, he was always soul.

For the record, Robin didn’t get his start with Pharrell, nor is his latest album his first. He started out signed to Andre Harrell and Babyface’s label, Nu America.

Why does he sound like Jon B? LOL. But it’s cool.

@13, I TOTALLY DISAGREE. BLACKS ARE THE FOUNDATION OF R&B AND MANY OTHER GENRES OF MUSIC. WE ARE TOO NATURALLY TALENTED TO BE REPLACED. THIS PROVES ONCE AGAIN THAT YOU CAN IMITATE, BUT NEVER DUPLICATE!!

That dude does look like Jeter, lmao. I knew that there would be a chorus of some black women, not all the sisters obviously, that would come and try to play devil’s advocate for this dude. The same few black women that bitch and complain about Kim Kardashian and suck their teeth whenever they see a picture of Wesley Snipes. The same ones that would pull their hair out if there was a post about Joss Stone and 50-60 black men came on talking about “she look good”. Whatever. Time exposes all. We’ll see, lol.

@88

I didn’t say Pharrell schooled your cokehead, homosexual hero. I said he “coached” him. There’s a difference. It just happened that the song he did with Pharrell is his biggest hit. Excuse me, his only hit. People kill me with that nonsense about how long he’s been out. Everyone is out for years before they hit it big. I remember the stupidass video where he played the bike messenger. It flopped.

he’s sexy….

Sounds like any other NASALY singing wanna be… YAWN…

yeah i was sittin here for a minute like damn who does this dude sound like…..then i was like wait a minute!!! none other than another white boy with soul, jon b! no but really…listen to “they don’t know” then listen to this song. sounds like a jon b voice thief to me. damn crazy white ppl.

but no seriously the song is hot. he needs a better name. just go by dc. cuz once we hear yeager u have officially told us that ur white.

and youngstown was hot fiyah.

he looks a lot like that guy from youngstown………

pharrell coaches robin thicke? maybe he cosigned for him initially. but not even really cuz thicke was out way back in the day when he was scruffy and ridin bikes thru nyc. i don’t think soul has a color. yes r and b is traditionally black but how can u be mad at someone for “stealing our music.” i think that whole idea is garbage.

ppl are gonna sing what they wanna sing. nobody is sayin nothin bout rihanna and her songs….those aren’t traditional r and b songs now. nobody says rihanna can’t sing “shut up and drive” bcuz shes black. or the whole rock star thing that everybody is doin nowadays. im just sayin us black folk need to start lookin at things from both sides. r and b is not some secret form of music that was meant only for black ppl and that’s only supposed to be listened to by black ppl.

man im done.

@ 99 Black’s created rock

well if we wanna get technical black ppl created everything.

the idea tho is that rock isn’t generally a thing that black ppl do. u don’t see that many black ppl (besides travis from gym class heroes) doing the rock thing mainstream. rock as in ppl bein “rock stars” was popularized by white ppl. the average black person isn’t gonna be like let me go get my electric guitar and rock out somewhere.

Once again #72 JUDAH is a bigot.
Alwayz gotta act like you know the deal. Stop generalising people. So dude knew Ne-Yo from way back when. Shouldn’t he hook up with him if he chooses to!?

If you don’t like the song or artist so be it. Acceptable. Just don’t go around breaking down lies like you psychic and know why thangz are the way they are. Coz you don’t.

Take a good look at the industry and you’ll see that it ain’t all white folks being coached by black folks. What nonsense!

Whitney and Clive davis….
Last time I checked Scott storch coached a whole lotta upcommers….

Cut the crap. Your comments always has you sounding like you got major issues eating you up.

Back to the topic……

I hate to repeat this cuz its been said already. But he is sexy as hell. Didn’t even listen to da song. Im sold! whateva he singing Im buyin it. LOL

He’s cute but it sounds kinda like he’s whining, straining or trying too hard.

#72,

actually this dude is a former boy band member. He was in a group called Youngstown (yeah, original lol). I got their cd, and guess what???? Neyo wrote a lot of those songs on the cd. I knew the name shaffer smith sounded hella familiar. But he was the lead singer, FYI. They had that rnb/pop sound. But all in all, i disagree about these dudes being coached, at least robin thicke. He did rnb/soul before Pharrell. He’s written hella soul/rnb/pop songs for other artists.

True, I tend to give the blue eyed soul crowd a chance. There’s some other dudes out there with real talent who weren’t coached by random black hitmakers. It would be quite cynical to think that every white person who sounds “black” or sings soul doesn’t do so by their own will, but by the will of some svengali (sp?) mastermind in it to make money. Some are coached, others are not. And when was Kelly Clarkson rnb? I gets the Pink comparison, but the same can be said about other black artists.

@103

Once again Judah is his own man, lol. Why you so mad about that for? Anyway, #106 cut you, lol. There must be alot of bigots because alot of people agreed with me and alot of people called him a fake prior to my post. You’re one of those stupid black people that try to make black people feel embarassed for expressing themselves honestly. I thank the Lord for gifting me with the ability to say things that galvanize people negatively or positively because it never fails that people feel the need to comment on my comment. Let me do me, lol. Am I stopping you from being a coon? You would have nothing to say to me if I really was stupid or ignorant like you claim because then I’d be the normal nigga you spend your time bad-mouthing. I didn’t listen to the song, don’t need to. I only listen to Tupac, Nas, a couple of other artists and maybe a few singles in regards to hip hop and R&B. I enjoy classical music more than this nonsense. His music has nothing to say to me. I’m just addressing the phenomena of “blue-eyed soul”. Get over it.

NOT FEELING THIS AT ALL.

WHINY NASAL WON’T CUT IT

#93- Sadly a commercial hit does not equate musical success in my mind. ‘Buy you a drank’ was a #1 billboard hit but that does not endear me to Tpain or his lyrics. Sorry. ‘When I get you alone’ is actually a pretty good song (IMO) bad hairstyle and low budget video notwithstanding.

You can dislike Thicke because he is white, because he sings with that falsetto, or maybe because his wife is black, however his lyrics are truthful, and his musical arrangements tight. On his last album he has a song ‘would that make you love me’ that he wrote because of how he felt making the album as a white person making R/B. You can’t fake talent. His album is one of few where I can listen to all the tracks.

Now I must say that I agree with your observation about Kim K and Wesley Snipes. I think it is human nature where people will take time out to say negative hurtful things rather than something uplifting. That is the nature of entertainment gossip blogs. If there is a pic of Wesley Snipes/JayZ/ 50 cent there are then the Joe Camel/gorilla jokes because that is what small minded people do - they make fun of whatever is not in keeping with their percceived norms.

Which bring me back to my original point of blacks being their worst enemy sometimes. It’s ok to call Jay Z Joe camel (because of his lips and nose) but let TMZ call Beyonce’s OUTFIT ‘roboho’ and now its a civil rights issue. What sense does that make?

Anyway thats enough from me for tonight.

I’m so fuckin’ over the whole “white boys with soul” shit. By the way, this song is straight ass.

Lol @ no.1 sounding like a mcdonalds commercial.

i really lik this song. and he is too sexy. luv me a fine white boy here there lol

r&b is R&B regardless of color. dude doesnt even sound white. Im tired of poeple actin like u gotta be a certain color to make music.

66, what did u expect them to call it back in the days of Hall and Oates and the Righteous Brothers. Now the name has just stuck.

But to the girl that was mad about a white person winning an R&B award, as long as its deserving the color should be the least important thing.

to the “blue-eyed soul” comments. i say, no matter if you’re black, white, red, or green, if its good music its good music and this is a laid back song that you can groove to.

d@mn he’s very cute & sexy! he’s got my vote. LOL

this is a nice song I was a fan of youngstown and neyo wrote most of their first album back in “99″ so its good to see that he’s tryin to make it

Now see i want an eyebrow piercing just like that. Thats wassup.

wow he’s not only hot but has an amazing voice! I love the rest of his stuff on his myspace page 2… why is he not famous?

I’ve been a fan of DC’s since the boyband Youngstown. He’s Back and Better Then Ever. He is such a cutie. He is my home town boy, I live 20 mins from Youngstown.

i am loving this song, and the sound, it is very reminiscent to the 90’s R&B vibe and it is nice and refreshing…

fuck’n hottie…..thats all I have to say
