I think we’ve produced a generation of keyboard beats musicians and so that whole style of music is damn near dead in our culture. If it is a style that doesn’t lend well to one dude in front of FL Studio then the youth ain’t really gravitating towards it. You also have exposure, the marketing machines don’t market black funk artists. People make what there is a lane for.Why don't Black people produce Phonk music anymore? I hate that when Black people create a genre of music and then just stop producing it alltogether in turn for what's currently popular in the media, then we let other racial groups take over our genres, and then they start claiming that they've created it; I hate it so much. We need to utilize all of the musc genres we've created thus far.
You're absolutely correct, although I'm not talking about "Funk", but I'm talking about "Phonk" music; which is a totally different genre than Funk, and you can create Phonk music easily through FL studio, so I don't understand why it has died for Black people. Phonk music derived from oldschool Memphis rap beats including Dark tones, 808 cowbells, and hard hitting drums most of the time.

Oh my bad I thought you were being stylistic. I’ve never heard of this genre before but have definitely have heard it in other Black genres like techno and house.You're absolutely correct, although I'm not talking about "Funk", but I'm talking about "Phonk" music; which is a totally different genre than Funk, and you can create Phonk music easily through FL studio, so I don't understand why it has died for Black people.

And sadly now Phonk music is heavely influenced and mass produced by Russians, and is now associated mostly with them. Heres a video that compiles the orgins of Phonk music:
These beats are easily created in FL studio or any DAW at that matter, but I guess this type of instrumental music doesn't capture the youth
Would you say that CRUNK has died as well? I only remember Lil Jon calling his music Crunk.You're absolutely correct, although I'm not talking about "Funk", but I'm talking about "Phonk" music; which is a totally different genre than Funk, and you can create Phonk music easily through FL studio, so I don't understand why it has died for Black people.

In Michigan that is called TechnoOh my bad I thought you were being stylistic. I’ve never heard of this genre before but have definitely have heard it in other Black genres like techno and house.
Exactly what I thought when I actually listened to the video.In Michigan that is called Techno
It definitely has some techno qualities to itIn Michigan that is called Techno
Now I have heard some on that EU/Russian shit and its just that. SHIT! It gets no play whatsoever. But the letter mafia rocks with that BS.Exactly what I thought when I actually listened to the video.
That's what I know it as, Techno. Never heard the term Phonk.It definitely has some techno qualities to it
Sis? Remember that noise they called "Punk music"? Where we all first saw hair styles like that Mohawk? I think white EU & Russians changed their version to "Phonk" as a mash up.That's what I know it as, Techno. Never heard the term Phonk.
Please tell me how these two groups are labeled as. I listen to both, Phonte' too!
It’s a different genre than Techno though, but it does have correlation though because modern Black American music is heavily related between each other so some genres could sound like other genres. But this genre is more heavier than techno, and mostly utilize 808 cowbells with heavy bass drums, and a lot of the times incorporate distorted vocal samples; that’s how you can distinguish Phonk from Techno.That's what I know it as, Techno. Never heard the term Phonk.
Thanks for that information. I'm ALWAYS eager to learn something new. 💯✊🏽It’s a different genre than Techno though, but it does have correlation though because modern Black American music is heavily related between each other so some genres could sound like other genres.

I’ll watch this when I get my headphonesPlease tell me how these two groups are labeled as. I listen to both, Phonte' too!
NP ma’am! 😁Thanks for that information. I'm ALWAYS eager to learn something new. 💯✊🏽
Oh yeah. Then it changed to Heavy Metal aka Head Banger music, still a bunch of noise. 💯Sis? Remember that noise they called "Punk music"? Where we all first saw hair styles like that Mohawk? I think white EU & Russians changed their version to "Phonk" as a mash up.
Jackpot!!! That is the ONLY genre of music I know to pop a elderly neighbor's ear drum, who has since past. He treated my grandparents very well and I cut his lawn and snow removal when his health started to fail.Oh yeah. Then it changed to Heavy Metal aka Head Banger music, still a bunch of noise. 💯
Crunk ain't deadWould you say that CRUNK has died as well? I only remember Lil Jon calling his music Crunk.
Okaaaay, let's get CRUNK then! ✊🏽
We would call that techno here in the UK. Its influenced by techno in mainland Europe, specifically Sweden, Germany and the Netherlands.

This isn't at all influenced by any European country lmao, this is mostly derived from rap (Specifically Memphis rap) which has developed here in America, and techno was pioneered by Detroit also, it's not known who started to create techno music first.We would call that techno here in the UK.

For real....I was thinking WTF is phonk. You know what Trilly? We are becoming the old niggas we used to laugh at when we were teens. The old nigga that couldn't remember the name of the latest game, the hottest TV show, the newest rapper...that's us bruh.Ya learn something new everyday
Good "black" music teachers are very hard to find. McKenzie High had one of the best teachers (Mr. Brown) who had total soul and that's how he taught, from the heart not just for a check. #McKenzieSTAGSWhy don't more black people play instruments? We can ask a lot of questions surrounding music. It is just easier, cheaper, and faster to earn when you do your music on a computer. Younger generations, including my own, hardly know what real music is anymore. If we want to see this come back, we need to establish a culture for it.
There is a lot of great music out there though but it is riddled with fake, fast, and easy tracks that people rinse and repeat.

Yes we are unfortunately. Think about how old you look to a 16 year old?
Lmao! You sayin we "back in my day" guys now?
What cracks me up is they think they came up with everything. Never thinking that we were once 16 as well, so we know ALL the tricks! 🤣Yes we are unfortunately. Think about how old you look to a 16 year old?
To clarify, the techno in the UK is influenced by Europe. A lot of comes from Europe, and the UK produces too. Its a mix.This isn't at all influenced by any European country lmao, this is mostly derived from rap (Specifically Memphis rap) which has developed here in America, and techno was pioneered by Detroit also, it's not known who started to create techno music first.
Y’all definitely did innovate on a couple of American genres.To clarify, the techno in the UK is influenced by Europe. A lot of comes from Europe, and the UK produces too. Its a mix.
We had 3 music teachers in my high school. Two were white women and one was a black man. He by far knew the most about music and actually inspired students to become passionate about music and learning instruments. I was only in high school for one year where he was teaching. He ended up taking a job at a private school because it paid 3 times the amount so I could not blame him but that is what happens. All the good teachers take higher-paying jobs in private schools and public schools have teachers who are just doing it to make ends meet and it shows.Good "black" music teachers are very hard to find.
