Justin Bieber Conveniently “Pulls” From Hip-Hop Culture

Move over Justin Timberlake, we have a new white artist on the scene who wants to capitalise on black culture. Earlier today, during an interview with Power 105.1′s ‘The Breakfast Club’, Justin Bieber revealed what several music critics already knew: he is just another Pop act who uses Urban music to sell records.
Bieber stated to the host of the ‘Breakfast Club’ that he only “pulls” from Hip-Hop so that he could get the “swag” of the culture. However, when asked if he would ever become fully Urban, the singer quickly made it clear that he only wants to go “halfway” so that he would remain accessible to his Pop fans and that only made songs like ‘Boyfriend’ to attract ”older audience members.”
Later this year, Bieber will release his ‘Believe’ album. Helping him to take from Hip-Hop culture are Pharrell, Diplo, Drake and Darkchild. Listen to him explain his views on the ‘Breakfast Club’ below:
In other words, Bieber will dress, walk, talk (“bro” and “dog”) and even sing like Urban artists just to capitalise on their market until that brand of “swag” is no longer in trend. Do you see the problem with his comments?
It’s rare that ethnicity becomes a major music industry problem in 2012 but Bieber’s statements highlight that ignorance is still reigns. He seemingly has little respect for the Hip-Hop genre so he uses it like a toy until something new becomes available.
Hey, don’t blame Bieber for his comments. Thanks to label propaganda and artists such as Usher supporting his every move instead of teaching him about appreciate the Hip-Hop artform, he is budding into quite the adorable abuser of black culture.
Thoughts?

Dead at that gif… But what you said is true. Abd people will buy it just because its Beiber
this is nothing new. elvis did it, the beatles did it. can you point out people who artistically “pull” from a different culture or ethnicity and simultaneously exude an “appreciation” for the art form?
CH…That’s nothing new. They emulate the culture to look “cool” then they get all the fame and fortune for it. Smh.
IMHO I see nothing wrong with this, Nicki is currently do this, I actually encourage it only if you are still true to yourself, i.e JT
It is O.K to cross over and have a broader audience. He could have not said anything further. Now that fool, charlamagne and his camouflage face kept saying Justin was bigger than any hip hop artist. How can someone like Charlamagne who adores Katy Perry be given a platform to publicly insult Hip Hop. Black people contribute to the bullshit.
they are all chatting rubbish! He knows what he is doing, marketing the urban music just to make money not coz he is interested! smh they all bad!
Well yea, if you’re true to yourself then its not a problem. But he’s a wigger so trent has it correct.
He could have just said that he wanted to try something new.
white artists do this constantly…i’m looking at you p!nk
@k.money there are several “blue eyed soul” artists Halls &C Oates, Doobie Brothers, Rod Stewart, Annie Lennox. They all use soul sound but knows the culture. Both of Justin are users so if blacks are suckers to believe the hype then so be it.
