Moby is a righteously smart dude. He's been utilizing OP talent and soul
and black artist's music and skills for some time now. He's ALWAYS wanted
to be a rock star whether he was shmoozing our scene/family or not. He's
another guy who has and continues to climb the rockstar stairway to heaven
on the backs of FAR more talented people of color.
Whether you wish to partake in yet another black/white discussion of our
music...the facts remain self-evident, Moby's BIGGEST HIT is not only a
sample of a black blues artist but is also a direct rip-off of a far more
ingenius and truly unique white artist who has taken the influence of black
dance music artists and married that devotion to his own passion thereby
creating something unique...the artist is St. Germain and the track in
question is Alabama Blues.
Moby has been dropped and signed by at least three major labels that have
steadfastly refused black artist's music over the past 10-15 years. I'm so
glad he has made it...perhaps he'll just sit down now.
An d as for Mute records, what black artists do they have??
Nuttin but the truth,

Can, wire, loop, plastikman, liabach, spk, cabert voiltare jist to name a
few I can think of in a second! and I didnt even scratch the scratch on the
surface.
>But I guess shifting a few more Moby units
you know it's a big record company and they can carry big artist. not that
I
think mute thought go was going to be a mtv hit but I'm sure they are not
mad about it. come on get off moby's back he's enjoying the stardom while
it
last and in the pop world that's not long! is there anything wrong with
that
or is it a case of indie rockers blues! that what happened to pavement when
they became popular all the indie rocker snobs suddenly started to hate
pavement. guess it's was there loss.
