The foundation of Pop(ular) music is black music. We created all popular genres of music. Black people need to understand that and stop thinking only white artists can be Pop(ular).
TBH, I don't feel safe in Black communist spaces anymore. Like, I'm scared to even tweet this because I know I'll be attacked and gaslighted and dismissed. We can't even tell true stories about things that happen to us without being accused of being ops "destroying Black men."

Jermaine Jackson and Whitney Houston recorded “Don’t look any further” for her debut album. Before it was released, Dennis Edwards released his version with Siedah Garret.
