Producer/singer The Dream is a very opinionated individual, and his latest comments about black people are sure to ruffle some feathers. During his interview with The Guardian out in the UK, The Dream made some very interesting comparisons to Black singers who record soulful tracks, as opposed to caucasian singers. He used Adele and Beyonce to support his insights.
The Dream stated:
"It's called rhythm and blues; they just took the blues out of it for so long. What's crazy is that blacks can't do soul records any more. We love Adele singing it, but Beyoncé singing it? No."
Following this bold statement, The Dream answered the question, "So just what does work for "Blacks" these days?" by stating:
"A club hit. No, the tempo's too slow, gimme the club hit. Now the Blacks in America are responsible for the Pop records, and everybody else is singing soulful records. It's weird to me. We're pigeonholed over there."
