the term ‘black music’ is used when someone is referring to ‘urban’ or ‘street’ music. to subst-tute the word ‘street’ for the word ‘black’ is degrading and suggests that the street is a black persons place.

some people say the term means music that originated from african americans but the definition doesn’t fit because it doesn’t encomp-ss uk garage, grime, dubstep etc. which are all thought of as black music styles. similarly, rock’n’roll is not thought of as a black music style dispite its origins.
the mobo (music of black origin) awards has now removed jazz as a category because it is no longer seen as a black music style. this fact strengthens the argument that the term is not used to indicate the colour of the skin of the original musicians, but rather the cl-ss of the people involved in the scene.

anyone who believes in racial equality should find the term black music offensive.
