Here in America, we have three categories of Black people, unlike the UK. So just like y'all, we have your people that are first and second generation from an African country, first and second generation from a Caribbean country, and I'm gonna even put the Afro-Latinas that might come from like Central or South America. I'm gonna just put them in that category with the Caribbeans. And then you have the people that are Afro-American, Black American, Sulon. There's a couple names that people have been using, but basically the people that have been here for 400 plus years, right? So most of the time, if you want to take all 50 states, when you go out to a party or a club, you are going to hear hip hop and rap music the entire night. Unless you are purposely going to a Caribbean or Afro beats party, which in some states don't even really exist, okay? It is not like the UK where everything is that. Like those are the main genres. Like you're never going to go out in the UK and hear trap music all night. Unless it's coming from somebody that was in a relationship with somebody from Manchester for two years and they came to Philly because they were not used to the Black culture here. That being said, yes, Americans. There is a Black British culture, right? So the reason they're holding onto this terminal 4 guy, I see a lot of people trying to be funny and being like, oh, why y'all care? Oh, when we're still going to do it. And it's like, in my mind, I'm like, okay, is that a serious? Nobody is stealing his stuff. I think that we're so used to hearing in America, our sounds being TikTok trends that if y'all did a TikTok trend over there, like we would not care, right? Because our DJs are pretty much regional. Like nobody would be going this hard. Like, okay, and if it sounded bad, like I agree, it sounded bad. He sounded nothing like the original person. But I think that we would just laugh. We'd be like, oh, over there in the UK, they sound so bad, haha, like kind of like what y'all are doing. Also, we have multiple genres of music outside of hip hop and rap. That's why when you hear people talking about the T2 song, nobody even knew it was a British song. Nobody had even heard the real song ever in life. Like you're talking about a mix that's almost 20 plus years old, right? We have Philly club music, Baltimore club music, Jersey club music. And New Orleans, they have trap music. And Atlanta, they have trap music. New York, they have drill music. Kind of like how y'all have drill music. With that being said, y'all also have genres in the UK that were created by Black British people. There's base and there's garage, like there's somebody said there's garage, like that Black people here might not be familiar with. But I think instead of us to constantly have these dialogues and this discourse, like we can always just take the time to educate one another of the differences and the different cultures that exist in separate countries. And that being said, yes, Americans. There is a Black British culture, and there's a Black American culture. And they're both beautiful.
