Today In History

Gary Coleman, known for his childhood role as Arnold Jackson in the sitcom “Diff’rent Strokes” was born in Zion, Illinois on this date February 8, 1968.

Coleman’s common exclamation on the show, “What’choo talkin’ ‘bout, Willis?”, quickly became a pop culture catch-phrase.

He went on to appear in the film “On the Right Track,” and TV movie “The Kid With the Broken Halo,” which was later adapted into the cartoon series “The Gary Coleman Show,” among other projects.

“Biggie Smalls is the illest, your style is played out, like Arnold on that, “What you talking ‘bout, Willis?” - The Notorious B.I.G., The What, Ready To Die

Salem's Lot (2024)

It's no great stretch to say that virtually all popular music of the past 150 years is either fundamentally Black music (e.g., blues) or exists as the result of white artists and promoters appropriating Black music and distilling it for white consumption.

The first episode of the irritating 2019 Ken Burns documentary COUNTRY MUSIC, for instance, describes how country star A.P. Carter (uncle of June Carter Cash) would drive around the countryside getting Black blues musicians to share songs with him that he would then copyright in his own name (something the documentary presents as a perfectly normal thing to do, somehow). In A POCKET FULL OF DREAMS, the first part of his biography of Bing Crosby, jazz critic Gary Giddins makes a strong argument that Crosby — by far one of the most successful and influential pop vocalists of the 20th century — developed his vocal style by appropriating Louis Armstrong, of whom Crosby was a fan, and then adapting it to suit the audio parameters of the electronic microphone. Frank Sinatra, another of the 20th century's most influential pop vocalists, was strongly influenced by Billie Holiday, whom he admired greatly. (Sinatra's former valet, George Jacobs, told a touching if probably apocryphal story about Sinatra visiting Holiday in the hospital shortly before her death and trying, without any success, to help her score some smack.) And then of course there is Elvis Presley, whose appropriation of Black music is well-documented and much discussed.

Lines between musical genres are largely fictive and often exist in large part to enforce racial lines — the early episodes of COUNTRY MUSIC describe at some length (albeit with a frustrating lack of critical thought) the arbitrary nature of the distinction between "race music" (a.k.a. R&B) and "hillbilly music" (a.k.a. country) in the pre-WW2 radio and recording industries, and if you still think there's a quantifiable genre difference other than race, please listen to Ray Charles' 1962 opus MODERN SOUNDS IN COUNTRY AND WESTERN MUSIC and try again. White artists have been trying to colonize rap and hip-hop at least since Blondie's "Rapture," but listeners (or radio stations) that make a big deal out of eschewing rap and country don't usually seem to think Blondie or the Red Hot Chili Peppers or even the Beastie Boys and Eminem really count; why do you suppose that is? (Use both sides of paper if necessary.)

So, when people whine that they don't like rap music, or that rap isn't really music, it's really just saying, "Oh, I can still hear the Blackness — I don't like that, can you take that out?" Which, given the above, is absurd as well as offensive.
