THC 116: Mr. Gates | Illuminati Symbolism & The Hip Hop Conspiracy
R&B Evolution, Cultural Abandonment, Justin Timberlake
Mr. Gates discusses the phenomenon of black artists abandoning art forms they created, such as rock and roll and R&B. He notes that white artists like Justin Timberlake and Robin Thicke are now the primary beneficiaries of the R&B genre. Meanwhile, black R&B artists have largely adopted "thug" personas and hip-hop aesthetics, moving away from traditional romantic themes.
