I commented on the post above and would like to share some thoughts on that here.
"What makes music White?" is a complex question to articulate a short answer for.
I feel like art in general is an expression of the time it was created in. There is also an expression of the soul of the individual and the unique perspective of that person, as well as the ancestral folk soul of the people that individual belongs to.
Music has played a big role in the living tradition of a people through orating the stories over generations. The songs evolved with the people. I think there will always be the imprint of blood and ancestral memory in the art we create.
White people have a talent for creating beautiful melodies, and complex patterns in music that start and end in a way that feels whole or complete.
Rap is definitely more primitive in its structure and while that could largely be due to lower IQ, I think it's deeper than that. It's also a reflection of their ancestral journey and spiritual development as a people just as ours is for us.
