I think it has more so to do with how creativity is cultivated in the Black American community. Personally, I think bruno is talented but I don’t see him as a ground breaking artist, a lot of his music don’t scream innovative, just rehashed samples that you can dance to. Just my opinion.

Tyler Handsome that's not his problem tho

@@tylerhandsome7344 uh...Michael Jackson got plenty of credit, is hailed the king of pop, and he has 13 Grammys, Babyface gets plenty of credit, and has 11 Grammys, James Brown gets credit and is called The Godfather of soul and has 3 Grammys, Stevie Wonder gets plenty of credit, considered one off the greats and has 25 Grammys. And there was FAR more crazy competition back in the days. These were the influences Bruno spoke of in this interview, and these guys got credit and awards. Even if those greats don’t get as much as they should, why is Bruno wrong for being influenced by them, making great music due to his influences, and constantly paying homage to who influenced him? Even black rappers now are getting way more credit and awards/money than those that came before them. The music is becoming way more mainstream. And what about all the Filipino artists who don’t get any spins in America? And you do know that plenty of the R&B classics we know and love by black artists were written and produced by even white guys right? Look up David Foster and Rod Temperton. These guys have written huge hits for Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Tony Braxton, Heatwave, Earth Wind and Fire, Brandy, Monica, Mariah Carey, Destiny’s Child, and many more. Don’t forget that Bruno is doing his writing, producing, playing instruments, and has been doing so for many in the industry for years before we even knew him as an artist. He’s given to R&B, not just taken. People love his music, and he makes them happy, and he’s not a cultural appropriator trying to pass the music off as his own. What is he doing wrong? Are you saying he should stop making music, or should he only make Filipino music and Reggaeton?

With all the "research" they do for these interviews they couldn't create questions to include Anderson Paak more into the conversation? I know Bruno is the bigger star but let's not ignore Anderson Paak's artistry. This interview could've been so much better.

[@shygurl614]

Agreed!!

There were a lot of questions left for either one of them to answer, seems like Anderson would rather let Bruno take the bulk of the questions. He's done it in other interviews as well.

Music be changing so fast I can't really blame Bruno for feeling like anything else he puts out wouldn't hit the same. Anderson Paak being as relevant as he is within the industry is proof that Bruno is just in his head.

Bruno Mar's voice is legit perfection-he is truly truly gifted. They both are, but Bruno's vocals live- I mean, man, can't think of even one singer right now who could top it. Seriously.

[@alansjf33]

The only thing artist of other backgrounds owe black artist / black culture is credit for creating the specific genera of music or cultural practice , and a check where appropriate. Bruno Mars is not a culture vulture because he gives credit to black artists all the time and works almost exclusive with black artists . He owes nothing other than to represent the culture well. He does that exceptionally well. The problem is black artist abandoning their own roots and cultural music to rap exclusively . Bruno has not only filled the gap that black artist left , he , the handful of neo soul artists and Anderson Paak are the only ones keeping R and B alive. I am glad these two got together. Love both of their work. They are both brilliant.

[@thezu9250]

Hes also part Black

[@reimourrpower9357]

Anderson Paak is massively talented and his VENTURA is one of the best soul albums in years. Bruno Mars has proven soul & skills constantly, there is NO appropriation. Artists need to learn what he's forgotten about music. On Mars' 'race': Filipinos are the *blackest* Asians on Earth and Puerto Ricans are as African as Jamaicans & Haitians, media hides that.
