I had no idea….
I'm sorry, I see people saying that his music is obviously NOT hip hop but as I scan through that album that is a heavy late 90s R&B influence on some of his sound, there's a Michael Jackson influence.
He's definitely playing around with Black styles and sounds.

You know what the problem is some black people love to latch on to white people doing hip hop. It’s like we’re the first to ride for someone doing our thing. STOP INVITING EVERYONE TO THE COOKOUT…We are too welcoming in general. Stop Asian hate…stand with Palestine… Stop Jewish hatred… We all up in the front of the rallys, the protest ,the fundraisers, and no one rides for us With the same energy.
Like I said in the other thread, nobody cares nowadays its all about the $$$
If the industry feels they can make money they will push ut

@playahaitian this ties back into what we were saying in the other thread. Another artist who got big on Tiktok. He's just White Spice.
The white Brent fiyaz
Common said it best
All I know is I love this cut and it sounds like something out of 2003

A fan liking his music isn't the point, though. He's white dude who is a culture vulture that's using hip hop for his come-up. That's not cool.
WHY YOU THINK I POSTED THIS?
^^^^
^^^ All ah BLOODCLAAT dis!!!
His music don’t even sound hip hop that shit just lazy……
Who's policing the culture?
The same folks that allow a former police to cosplay as a gangster and take someone's whole identity?
The same folks that allow these young artists to shit on the legends and not know history?
There is no culture anymore just a bunch of people pimping this shit for all its worth, regardless of color.
That culture talk is for old heads and historians
Playbook is almost as old as hiphop its self
Yeah, man, Al Jolson in Black-face did it, too.
and the sequel:
mo' info:
Al Jolson in the Singing Fool 1928.
The Singing Fool is a 1928 musical drama Part-Talkie motion picture which was released by Warner Brothers. The film starred Al Jolson and was a follow-up to his previous film, The Jazz Singer. It is credited with helping to cement the popularity of both sound and the musical genre.

Production.
Like The Jazz Singer, The Singing Fool was a melodrama with musical interludes, and as such was one of the film industry's first musical films. Produced during the transition period between silent film and talkies, the movie was released in both sound and silent versions.
The Singing Fool was a part-talking feature, which featured a synchronized musical score with sound effects along with synchronized musical and talking sequences, although in this film roughly 66 minutes of talking and singing were included. Al Jolson's first all-talking feature, Say It With Songs, would appear in 1929.
Plot.
After years of hopeful struggle, Al Stone (Jolson) is on his way. "I'm Sittin' on Top of the World", he sings to an appreciative speakeasy crowd. But, as Al discovers, getting there is one thing. Staying there is another. Singing waiter Stone gets his huge break on a magical night when his song wows a big-time producer and a gold-digging showgirl he fancies. Broadway success and marriage follow, but sure enough, hard times are on the way. Al's fickle wife abandons him, taking the beloved son he calls Sonny Boy with her. Heartbroken, Al becomes a devastated loner until friends from the speakeasy that launched his career rescue him from a life on the streets. Soon, Al is back in lights. But another crisis awaits: Sonny Boy is in the hospital and dying....
Reception.
The Singing Fool solidified Jolson's position atop the movie world; not until Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs would any sound era film be more financially successful than this audience-pleasing blend of sentiment and show biz. With a worldwide gross of $5.9 million, it would remain the most successful film in Warner Bros. history until the release of Sergeant York in 1941.
For the majority of movie audiences, The Singing Fool became their first experience with a talking film, since few movie theaters had been equipped with a sound system in 1927. The film's positive reception was also viewed as a signifier that sound films were here to stay. One trade paper commentator stated that The Singing Fool "will be to talking pictures what The Birth of a Nation has been to silent pictures". For a time, it also made Davey Lee, Jolson's 3 and a half year old co-star, the most popular child star since Jackie Coogan. Lee was re-teamed with Jolson in Say It With Songs and starred in a few other films—including 1929's Sonny Boy—until his parents pulled him out of the movie business.
"Sonny Boy" became the first song from a movie to sell over a million copies. It eventually sold over 3 million copies of sheet music, piano rolls and phonograph records.
Songs.
"There's a Rainbow 'Round My Shoulder"
"Golden Gate"
"I'm Sittin' on Top of the World"
"It All Depends on You"
"Keep Smiling at Trouble"
"Sonny Boy"
"The Spaniard That Blighted My Life" (see below)
Deleted scenes.
Al Jolson's rendition of "The Spaniard That Blighted My Life" is missing from extant prints of the film. This is due to a lawsuit initiated by the song's author, Billy Merson. Merson claimed that he, as a performer, owed his income to his own renditions of the song, and that Jolson's version would diminish his ability to earn a living. The song was removed from all prints of "The Singing Fool" shown in the United Kingdom. Unfortunately, the only surviving copies of the film are also from the U.K., hence are missing the song. These copies also have the majority of the original decorative Warner Brothers title cards replaced with simple British made ones which were used to remove Americanisms which the British would not understand or appreciate (a common practice during the silent era). Only the soundtrack survives on extant Vitaphone discs.

Culture vulture devil.
Maybe I’m too old. I like the song, but cats are missing the fundamentals. This is a memphis beat. Project Pat,”Don’t save her”. That’s the intro. The next part was lifted from this kid of Southeast DC, GoldLink, featuring Brent Faiyez, from Woodbridge. It’s the same melody. Can’t remember the name of the song of top, but it’s the same.
Painful but true and people know this because when Frankie Beverly passed away the first thing people were saying with regards to tributes were
"no youngins and no rappers" because the culture is so unpoliced.
