Let us give Adele credit, where credit is due. She can sing and write in a time, where most artists can't do either one. But she is the typical artist from the dominant society who wants us to contribute to her already white propped up coffers and get nothing in return from her. I guess she thinks having a black partner will booster her cultural credibility, ensuring her goal to financially vulture us. As far as culture is concerned, that society knows it needs us to validate its' talent (or lack of, more often than not) and abilities, to make them popular world-wide, for example, Eminem as someone already mentioned. He became popular with his people after he was seen with our people, having been mentored and supported by one of our hip hop pioneers - unfortunately. The only thing he kind of gave us is 50 Cents and I don't see him as a real prize for us. Adele will never ever do even that. She has nothing to prove to us except that she can carry a tune, is now skinny, has blonde hair (I think) and is riding and/or is presently being ridden by a black man. Our talent is obvious to them which is one of the reasons they hate us and try neither to promote nor mention us - until forced. And even that mention is aimed at the banal, the negatives, the undermining, the ludicrous. (In an interview with Pierce Morgen, I think for CNN, he asked Beyoncé, who I'm not really a fan of, but who has more talent than and has musically outsold J.Lo, whose butt was bigger, hers or J.Lo. That would have had me walking out of the interview. Excuse me, I forget, in spite of her international success, she is a lady who doesn't have a high school diploma and probably doesn't recognize the tactic by a white supremacist interviewer of belittling her accomplishments, especially as a female, by sexualizing her. That is why she continued the interview I turned off in disgust a minute later.) Well, let Adele stay on her side of the tracks and collect royalties from her people who love imitation black sound (Elvis) and we stay on ours, listening to and appreciating our legends as well as present day, talented (the very few) artists. She isn't really worthy enough to be discussed on this platform.
