Uhhhhh no thats not what that means lmao.

Black culture does not equal blackness thats such a weird equivalence to make. if you think Im saying that, I can see why you got so upset, but thats on you because I never said that.

and i doubt the algorithm, would have you listening to two of sza equally popular and most frequent collaborators and snooze not come up in your algorithm, and even if it didnt (probably because youd be on a rap only search) youd still be aware of who she is.

many black people intertwine their "feeling" of blackness to their culture.

like, when Kendrick was attacking Drake, for example, he wasn't saying he wasn't black but that he wasn't connected to the culture. but because the culture and personal sense of being black is so connected, a lot of people thought that was what he was doing.

as far as the music thing goes, that was my point - I could be listening to tons of modern black music, but because it's mostly rap, I might miss out on a lot of r&b. and like I said, of course I've heard of SZA, but you keep making this point about also not hearing about Snooze, which is weird.

and even if SZA is a big artist, which I agree she is, her and her music make up such a minute factor of black culture. at least with someone like Kendrick, his music transcends just music - used for protests, beef becoming mainstream - that it makes sense that he can be a topic of conversation. same with Jay-Z, Beyonce, Rihanna, and so on.

with SZA, she doesn't feel like she's a factor outside of music yet. but she's talented, has good collabs, and is still growing, so who knows the heights she might reach.

there's just no good point, IMO, as to why not knowing some of her songs means you're slacking as far as your connection to the black community goes.
