Quite a few people pointed out that House music has never lost touch with the black community and that black artists have continued to carry the genre up to this day. That is absolutely true and that point is emphasized in the video. However, it's fairly clear that the genre has been whitewashed (to some extent) and that the mainstream artists who profit the most from the performance of House music on a global scale happen to be white men. The process of white-washing of the genre is very well-dcoumented. Black listeners of House music obviously do not need to be reminded that it was a genre created by black queer people, but: 1) there are black people who typically do not listen to that music genre and do not know about its history, mostly as a result of that whitewashing. 2) there are plenty of non-black people who enjoy House music and have absolutely no idea that it was created by black artists since most of the House DJs they listen to happen to be white. That is why it's relevant that mainstream black artists turn towards this genre so that the public at large also discovers that history.
I agree with your take. It’s not just an association with whiteness that’s holding black America back from identifying with house music, it’s also homophobia. Andre 3000 said in an interview “in the hood they think [if you listen to house] you’re gay or white”. Growing up in the U.K. if you were listening to house records at school you wouldn’t be labelled different or ‘gay’ because house music is universal there. Right now there are Latin House records popping off Spotify, there’s house tracks popping off in the Kpop scene. House was everywhere when I visited South Africa. Techno House, Bass House, Big Room House, Deep House, Future House…Im not convinced that the invention of all the various sub-genres of house is tantamount to ‘whitewashing’ *as long as* they took those bones and made sth new for themselves. There are so many sub-genres and new genres forming out of House that can be linked to many corners across the globe, and that’s what so fantastic about it. The roots are in 1980s Chicago, yes but it’s evolved over the years into a much more pluralistic ‘big-tent’ genre, and imho it is its pluralism that has ended up becoming the genre’s best asset! All in all. Another Great video essay. Can’t wait for your next! 👏
@@nameisamine well not really you can go to the hood in the uk and France and they'll look at you weird if you listen to house, in the uk house evolved into grime wich kinda removed that stigma but now that the uk has moved on from grime and does drill you'll get weird looks just like in America.
Please do your next video on 2pac’s 1995 classic album me against the world because hitting the shelves while he was still in prison, the album helped shift his image from that of gangsta rapper to more of a gangsta poet, setting the stage for 2pac to become one of the most famous mcs in the world.
Aaliyah always reminded me of the go to ‘black’ artist back in the day that did electronic-styled music on a lot of her songs. It could be r&b, pop or hip hop and you could never miss that signature sound
House music never left. You guys just simply listen to too much rap music for you to even realize how beautiful other genres of music are. If its not mainstream you won't listen to it.
Mariah has consistently had House remixes throughout her career. She never forgot about the clubs. I wish people would acknowledge that and give her flowers for that also!!!
Just a note: Get It Together off of More Life is sampled from a South African House song by the principle producer of it, Black Coffee. The sound is indeed rather removed fro. The sounds of Chicago and Detroit from which its roots can be traced but is not only worth consider when thinking of the first time Drake dabbled in the genre but also a possible reason one mat assume he would work so closely with Coffee on Honestly, Nevermind. Also, in South Africa House Music is a very black music genre, its roots amd our very many genres that came from it (Gqom, Amapiano, Shangaan Electro, Yaart Musiek etc).
Agreed, the house music scene in Africa and South Africa in particular has been huge this past decade. So huge that it's basically one of the most popular sounds. It's not making a comeback, just getting more fans
House as a genre started back in the eighties if I'm not mistaken in Chicago then Baltimore created their own B more club sound influenced by Chicago house music
Drake has done house before, he collaborated with Black Coffee and made Get it together. Drake is doing house , Beyonce freshened up 90's dance music. IMO. House ;black or white audiences depends on where you live
Chicago House music & EDM (or the house music scene of today) sounds totally different. As a Chicagoan, I can absolutely tell the difference & it’s what Bey & Drake have done.
Black artists’ impact on electronic music is undeniable and formative across all sub-cultures of the genre. When it comes to House Music, let’s be very clear that it was black QUEER artists who spear headed the way. The term “house” is short for “The Warehouse”, an underground club for black/brown LGBTQ+ people in the south side of Chicago. The electronic music that was played in that club had a particular sound, 4-on-the-floor, disco influence, and a feeling of liberation. To describe the style of electronic music played at The Warehouse, they decided to shorten the name to “House music”. S/o to all black and brown QUEER artists for this resurgence! Your impact is responsible for this wave!
Because of the show on HBO max called “legendary” which consist of house and Vogue elements. The show is resetting the trend to let everyone know Queer Black people made this !!!
I don’t think this was a “reclaimed” project I just think they were hopping on a wave because house is huge in other parts of the world except for in the black community in the states
Thanks for this video and for the rest of your video essays. They are very educational and entertaining at the same time. I'm glad that thanks to those mainstream artist a new context of understanding house music can be established (new but not so new: coming back to the origins and creating alternative for whitewashing EDM music festival culture). Personally as a member of queer community, I'm listening to 80s house like to sacral music - this is where the spirit comes from, and it comes from black queer people.
They haven't "reclaimed" anything as Azealia Banks has carried the House torch on her back for about a decade now (people would know that if they would let the music formulate their opinions instead of the drama) even outside of her, House Music has never left. ATL for example has a House Music Festival every year with mostly melanated people showing up. It's time for niggas to grow up & stop having to be told who to listen to + told who to follow & which new "trends" to rock with. That's why the game fucked up now.
All music came from black people.period. Thats why i hate when people always say ' your making music for white people' its frustrating. Wake up people!!!! I love this video and more people should talk about things like this!!! i also recommends Black Music Archives video essay on Pip music and its black origin!! : p
I will be satisfied when current mainstream artists like Beyonce and Drake actually work with longtime, bonafide contributors to the House scene. These pioneering artists, deejays, and producers laid the foundation and have consistently contributed to the culture since its creation. Artists like Ultra Nate', Inaya Day, Crystal Waters, Barbara Tucker, Cece Peniston, Robin S., and many others are active faces of longevity within this important genre. Not to mention, dope producers like David Morales, Josh Milan, Louie Vega, DJ Spen, Quentin Harris, and several others currently keeping the scene alive and vibrant. I feel that until they tap into these resources of the true sound of House, they are merely sampling and scratching the surface. I am standing by, optimistically, that they will dive in and truly deliver something that is memorable. We shall see.
THIS!! I have to say, when I heard the Azealia Banks track, "Anna Wintour" for the first time, I was really impressed at how authentic the music sounded. It was totally HOUSE. When I saw that it was produced by Junior Sanchez, I had so much respect for her and the track. I know she's very problematic, but she did right with that song.
@@electrikblue1008 You bring up an excellent point! Azealia has been about the scene from the start. I think that is what helped her stand out. House Heads immediately recognize the genuine and gravitate toward it. So, that is an excellent point. I will also add, that helps an artist garner respectability as well. When Mariah Carey tapped into the mastery of David Morales, the bar was raised for her. I would like more artists to get back to doing that. Sure, there are new, hot producers out there, but you can't ignore/neglect the maestros.
Please do your next video on 2pac’s 1995 classic album me against the world because hitting the shelves while he was still in prison, the album helped shift his image from that of gangsta rapper to more of a gangsta poet, setting the stage for 2pac to become one of the most famous mcs in the world.
We must always give them the side eye and keep it on them because inevitably we will at some point feel the cobras bite which is synonymous with all venomous snakes!
House music has always been alive and well. First off I completely disagree with the statement that Drake and Beyonce are reminding people of house music's black roots. There are so many black Dj's out there that you can easily find on Traxsource and they'll never get any recognition because they are not mainstream. 90s and today are full of black and white artists in House music but they'll never get recognition because they are not rapping. 1 house song that Drake comes out with does not make him a house music artist. Drake represents all the people out there who all say " House music is wack " but now we gotta praise him for it and Beyonce just cause they came out with one house song. Absolutely nobody who actually listens to house music for real is gonna actually take their time to listen to Drake's house song because its a mockery. Drake is doing the same thing Lil Wayne did 13 years ago. Make a rock album to get Gothic people to listen to his music. Drake is basically trying to get house music people to listen to him. Like Duh. As for Beyonce yo seriously she's overrated man. So many female black artists out there but they gotta always treat her like she's some sort of Goddess. Fuck all that shit. Mainstream does shit to get our attention all the time. Even I did a house song sampling a house mix and even my song is better than theirs and I'm Hispanic by the way just to point that out.
Bruh send ya song like drop a link or something. Cause you said a lot and tbh I don’t agree however you said your song was better than both of theirs so let’s see
@@Itzquann 2nd of all of course you are going to disagree because I'm telling the truth about all your favorite mainstream artists who are all rappers and pop singers trying to do rap because they want to dumb down the people. Why do you think every artist that comes out now is a rapper. Its not that there aren't artists of other genres. They specifically promote rappers white and black with tattoos and done fucked up things in their lives to promote more violence to the white black asian and hispanic communities. As well as rock music in the 60s 70s and 80s trying to get everyone to have this " Born to be wild " persona when everything was always fine.
@@AmericanGangstar2550 “2nd of all” You can type all that extra stuff all you want. I didn’t explain why I didn’t agree so now you’re making assumptions. Either send a link or keep it 🤷🏽♂️. It’s that simple PS: I like Bey she’s coo..however I don’t like drake in no capacity. So yeah stop assuming like you know someone from a comment just because I said I disagree when you don’t even know what I was disagreeing to. Hop off being defensive guy and find some chill.
@@Itzquann Aaahh so its the Beyonce part that got you offended. Ok let's break it down. Beyonce needs a truck load of songwriters just to write her one song. 7 Eleven was actually written by 20 people. Really it takes 20 people to write a song for Beyonce? That's how her music has been throughout her whole career. I like a couple of Beyonce songs too but I don't glorify her to be some sort of a Goddess like you Beyonce fans do. And all that " extra shit " yup you guys have mad short attention span.
@@AmericanGangstar2550 Nahh it’s not everyone’s entitled to their opinion 🤷🏽♂️. I’m not a Beyoncé fanatic. I don’t give celebrities that much power cause they don’t pay my bills I just like music. There you go assuming again. I didn’t read past the first sentence cause you’re assuming again 🤷🏽♂️. Like I said I wanna hear your song 🎶
Let's face it! Weticos have created or invented very little of anything which came solely from themselves unless it had to do with destruction and death! That is not an exaggeration but a historical fact that has been proven through occurrences! We are the real creators endowed with the spirit of our Heavenly Father, The Great and Only I Am That I AM! But we have been sidetracked through the treachery of those who realize our worth more than we do, much to our shame! We hold onto nothing because we value nothing and the proof of this is in that we expose whatever that we do have, which they covet and steal, to a brutal, ruthless enemy which we act as if they are truly our friends when we know better because they have shown us, to our faces and have stabbed us in our backs, without hesitation every chance they have received from us, the opportunity to do so! We ourselves are at fault for our continual downward spiral because we refuse to accept what we already know to be true, that we have allowed a demonic presence which has spread havoc and death everywhere they have ventured without remorse or accountability for their actions! We treat them as if in order for us to be considered worthy of anything, we have to have their approval, rather than keeping them as far away from our precious things as they do us from theirs which are already ours! Until we learn to recognize the devil for who he truly is and stop pretending he and his seed are angels of light, we will forever be corrupted, compromised and brought low, by our own stupidity for not!
NGL, I’m low-key disappointed with this ‘reclamation’ narrative I keep seeing. There have been plenty of black artists doing (and thriving) within the House scene - itself being a huge umbrella term comprising of many sub-genres due to international contributions. Beyoncé and Drake release a house record: all of a sudden, nobody else matters. House is now ‘reclaimed’ because ‘they did it’ … f**k everyone else. 🙄 I get it... It’s Beyoncé and Drake. They have the name recognition and most visibility. But the reclamation narrative born out of it, almost wreaks of a certain (North) American mainstream exceptionalist bias, long after House music went global and reached new heights aided by contributions from many blacks on the outside. It’s a little annoying hearing hot takes that bc of industry insiders like Bey and Drake, black ppl are now ‘reclaiming’ this music, when the charts across Europe and Africa have already been full of black artists singing/rapping over house beats for many years in multiple languages and having commercial success. Is black American Twitter even aware of this? 🫥 Ultimately, both bey and Drake’s efforts ended up amounting to pretty middling and mediocre House tracks. The both of them can do (and have done) much better dance music than this. Edit: when I said disappointed I don’t mean the creator, he’s great! I meant all the takes being seeing online since Bey and Drake dropped house tracks. Another great video 👏
HOUSE is NOT viewed as a White Music genre, at least not by any Americans. Everyone here knows that it comes from Black America, specifically the Chicago underground scene. While other music forms based on house, such as EDM, have been appropriated by mainstream culture, House is still VERY MUCH viewed as part of Black music (at least by Americans of a certain age 30y.o. and UP!
this is s dumb take. carl cox, black coffee, goldie, PREVIOUS HOUSE PRODUCERS…all black. if it took these two to get ppl to know house is black music….holy crap
Reclaim? Who took it away? Sorry but to credit Beyonce and Drake as some sort of house heroes is ridiculous. They sound out of place singing over house, and I'm almost certain they know nothing of the culture. They hopped on stale trends, and will never be on the level of singers like Martha Wash and Byron Stingily
This guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about stop separating humans we are all the same just different colors house music is music not white music hip hop is music not black music stop putting labels 🏷
It’s Drake dropping his album thinking Bey was dropping hers so that he can compare his numbers to hers. But sis only made an announcement and dropped a LP that did numbers around his around.🫣🤪🤪Boy I tell yah, a Queen gon Queen.

They have the name recognition and most visibility. But the reclamation narrative born out of it, almost wreaks of a certain (North) American mainstream exceptionalist bias, long after House music went global and reached new heights aided by contributions from many blacks on the outside. It’s a little annoying hearing hot takes that bc of industry insiders like Bey and Drake, black ppl are now ‘reclaiming’ this music, when the charts across Europe and Africa have already been full of black artists singing/rapping over house beats for many years in multiple languages and having commercial success. Is black American Twitter even aware of this? 🫥
Ultimately, both bey and Drake’s efforts ended up amounting to pretty middling and mediocre House tracks. The both of them can do (and have done) much better dance music than this.
Edit: when I said disappointed I don’t mean the creator, he’s great! I meant all the takes being seeing online since Bey and Drake dropped house tracks. Another great video 👏
I agree! Thank you for saying this.

Yes plenty of black British and black French people who were doing house and other types of genres.
There's also been plenty of black people in America still doing house music just not mainstream
Can you name all the black artists from Europe and Africa and even America that you know? I wanna listen to it
HOUSE is NOT viewed as a White Music genre, at least not by any Americans. Everyone here knows that it comes from Black America, specifically the Chicago underground scene. While other music forms based on house, such as EDM, have been appropriated by mainstream culture, House is still VERY MUCH viewed as part of Black music (at least by Americans of a certain age 30y.o. and UP!
this is s dumb take. carl cox, black coffee, goldie, PREVIOUS HOUSE PRODUCERS…all black. if it took these two to get ppl to know house is black music….holy crap
In total agreement with this !! You should have typed in Caps !!
Reclaim? Who took it away? Sorry but to credit Beyonce and Drake as some sort of house heroes is ridiculous. They sound out of place singing over house, and I'm almost certain they know nothing of the culture. They hopped on stale trends, and will never be on the level of singers like Martha Wash and Byron Stingily
This guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about stop separating humans we are all the same just different colors house music is music not white music hip hop is music not black music stop putting labels 🏷
It’s Drake dropping his album thinking Bey was dropping hers so that he can compare his numbers to hers. But sis only made an announcement and dropped a LP that did numbers around his around.🫣🤪🤪Boy I tell yah, a Queen gon Queen.
