I split this idea off the Afro and Latin Music thread, because I feel that this kind of insightful content can get lost in the shuffle, in a thread that is more often than not, just songs being liked and shared back and forth. You can’t really follow the OK K.O.! theme song (a fine disco song) with a video about the scathing critique of hip hop being commercialised at the expense of its own roots and culture, like other black genres historically. I feel this is a topic where I can recommend video essays and documentaries which touch upon how the Black and Latin genres I like are being shaped and informed, with Black and Latin culture around them.
