The Global Takeover of Black Music—Who Gets the Credit?

The Global Takeover of Black Music—Who Gets the Credit?

Black American music has always been the foundation of global sound—from blues and jazz to funk, hip hop, and R&B. But as these genres travel across the world, they’re often repackaged, stripped of their roots, and sold without credit to the culture that created them. In this video, I break down how cultural appropriation is shaping today’s global music trends, why it matters, and how Black musicians continue to set the standard despite being pushed to the margins. We’ll look at the way major industries profit from Black creativity, the thin line between influence and exploitation, and what this means for the future of music worldwide. ✨ Join the conversation and share your thoughts: Is global music celebrating Black culture, or stealing from it? 🔗 My website: dwannb.com 🛒 Website shop: dwannb.com/shop 🔮 To book readings: breakthroughcards.com 🐦 Twitter: x.com/dwannb 📸 Instagram: instagram.com/dwannb 💎 Patreon: patreon.com/dwannb
