why does it matter if they’re black

i just wanna know, i'm used to listen to black music from the 60s and 70s, and most of it is cheery funk music so i'd like to explore the other side of the spectrum

maybe he likes the voices of black people, or he is black and its easier to relate to a black person for him

dean blunt and yves tumor

there's this genre you might have heard of.. its name has kind of become synonymous with sadness, i think it's called "the reds" or something

ok thanks for the help

Try Piedmont Blues (from Florida/Georgia), like Blind Blake (he was THE best blues/ragtime guitarist of his time): youtube.com/watch?v=dabkCt8FRL8
Of course, there's always Leadbelly, the folk-legend:

yves tumor-limerance could have been one of the best produced tracks of all time if he didnt sample audio of some irritant black cunt gf

thanks for sharing, the blues is a really interesting genre. Great expression of emotion

Black music doesn't have a really good culture of depressing/beta music.

808s and Heartbreak of course

>No Robert Johnson
Are you slow?

Also, not black but I recommend Roscoe Holcomb.

The most obvious examples are soul songs from the 60s, A Change is Gonna Come and Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay,

that nigga Ludwig makes cool beats
