A short paragraph from a piece on Lady A by the BBC.

The term "urban music" has been scrapped by Republic Records, which is home to Drake and Ariana Grande, while the Grammys have announced they will stop using "urban" to describe music of black origin in their awards categories.

Bjorks record label have scrapped their name which was little Indian records.
And apparently McCartney has changed the name of his side project band, whatever that bollox was.

OK I've changed it.

Tell me what I’m missing about the adjective ‘urban,’ mate. Who on Earth has that supposed to have upset now?

I’d just supposed it had originally been coined to conjure up a sort of ‘sound of the city’ vibe. Was I wrong?

Why do the BBC prefix Edward Colston with the words "slave trader" Edward Colston when in fact he never actually personally traded a single slave?

I guess anyone who has a personal , company or private pension should be be called a drug or arms dealer as no doubt their pension will have in vested in companies involved in make arms and the tobacco industry which has killed millions.
That is the trouble with the left wing Marixist anarchist they can not see the irony in their own lives.

So does the Guardian newspaper now need to be referred to as being " founded on the back of slavery and the cotton trade" then? Seeing as that's where their founder John Edward Taylor made his money, as well as calling Abraham Lincoln's emancipation of the slaves and time in office as 'abhorrent'? Or may be the newspapers continued advertising relationship with the cotton trade after his death should be noted?

Does this fit the liberal narrative? Should the Guardian be made to apologise?

To paraphrase the bible...he, or she, who is without sin, let them cast the first stone.

If they keep on down this road the only option left will be M.A.D because we'll find everything has it's links to racism, slavery, discrimination etc So let the nukes fly, we all deserve it!

‘Antebellum’ simply means before war, it’s not an exclusive descriptor for the southern US pre-1860.

Unless it’s Latin itself that’s become this week’s hand-wringing horror? It’s so hard to keep up.

Nothing. In the case of the use of the word 'urban' within music, that was actually a term derived from a black fella within the music industry at the time, from new York If I remember correctly. Was probably seen as edgy at the time.

Nobody should have a problem with the likes of Drake pulling that term anyway as it's dated and pointless. Music is music. You don't need to add additional descriptive terms to differentiate between what music may be of black origin and what is not. They're just going to stick with the individual genres and rightly so.

Not exclusively, but closely associated e.g antebellum architecture to refer to the design of Plantation Houses.

Many would consider Latin a hand-wringing horror, but I very much enjoyed it at 'O' level.

Anyway OED definition:
Occurring or existing before a particular war, especially the US Civil War.
‘the conventions of the antebellum South’


So both correct.

The lyrics from the likes of Stormzy doesn’t really conjure up a picture of rolling green hills, rural countryside and the smell of freshly baked apple pies and lashings of ginger beer.

I would post an example but that would be racist and would also discredit him.

It doesnt conjure up nicey images no. But it is a huge money spinner. Hasnt he just donated £10million to equality campaigns?

Talking about how hard his life isand how tough it is on the road, its made him bigboy millions like it has many others. Misery and gangsta roadlife sells.
