[Image from NYDN]
The lack of historical perspective for the below quote from someone billed as an 'executive' whatever to a group called the Creative Coalition should not only baffle anyone with even minuscule knowledge of musical history, but must call into question how they can honestly answer as they did when referring to the Black Eyed fucking Peas.
"The Black Eyed Peas represent a growing genre of music that emphasizes increased social awareness," said Robin Bronk, executive director of the Creative Coalition (via).
(Emphasis mine) Endquote.
Previously from the files:
50 Cent no longer following US Election
Anita Baker is not a rapper
Indie crowds discover dancing
Shilling funds Honda, terrorism
Pitchfork prefers Britney to the Strokes
Kanye West is a professional
