Jaylon

Dee and Bruno beef send me to this day 😂😂😭

Jaylon

He was pressed on twitter going back and forth with Stan pages because they said he been releasing the same songs for 10 years 😭

lilrickyfrm51

Lol you should be a rapper Dee 😂😂 Do I Still Hate Bruno Mars?...... I Just Might 😂😂😂 You fucked me up with that ngl

Raynal Aaron

U ate this title🤣🤣🤣

clarence.

Wow, Dee I thought I was the only one who can't stand him for that exact reason!!! To me he is such an impersonator! I fr fr dont know who he is. Back back in the day when he first popped up, you could still see his own self come through, but he very quickly became this impersonator to me. He's also very corny and cringey to me alot of the times🤣🤣 So i feel you HEAVY on the whole rant. His music videos are KOR-KNEEEE, to me! Im just tired of this redundant era. Just not for me. But for the people who like it? I love it for yall

Cam.

I definitely understood what you meant at the beginning with Bruno, I used to think he was very performative.

Nasteho🐝

Shawn Cee said something similar when he reacted to it on stream and his chat was mad about it lol. He said was that his music is creatively bankrupt, but it still sounds good. I just find this whole persona a bit odd, how long are you going to keep this up? Are you not tired, Bruno?

Dee Shanell

Lmao they ain’t lying! He’s limited in the songs he can make because he’s stuck in that era smh

Dee Shanell

Definitely gives impersonator vibes! And you’re so right, back in the day when he was on the hook of “Nothin’ On You”, I loved his sound! But I just can’t get into this James Brown rip off act lol

Marcus

You reading the lyrics have me dead 😂

Paul Reyes

Not the CIA allegations 😂😂

LaLa💙

It’s the crack I’m telling yall ! I’m convinced he sniffed something and now his mind stuck in 1975

Dee Shanell

Valid question! Is he just gonna be stuck in the 70s for his entire career?! I used to watch Shawn Cee, I knew I liked him 😂 I’m about to go see what he said lol

Dee Shanell

It’s giving lyrical black face of James Brown lol like why are you talking like someone from 50 years ago?! I wouldn’t be surprised if he uses “jive turkey” in some of his songs 😭

Saleem Peterson

"Is Bruno even his real name" is sending me because his real name is Peter lol. But I definitely have not been able to out my finger on this until you mentioned it, I definitely see everything regarding his music through a different lens now I've always enjoyed his music tho.

Slick Flick

I’m sorry but FLO pmo every time because I hate how they try so hard to force this 90s aesthetic with the girl group

hasty rewrite

Not you looking at him with a mix of bewilderment, exasperation and pity for most of the video lmao

Rell Davis

I kinda hear that “I’m walking on sunshine” song idk

Dee Shanell

That’s hilarious lmao I figured “Mars” was a stage name but I assumed maybe Bruno was his actual name. Not surprised though 😭 But yeah I totally understand why so many people enjoy his music. More power to him lol

Dee Shanell

Precisely why I stopped listening to them, they don’t sound original at all imo. I do like them on one of Kwn’s song though lol

Dee Shanell

Perfect description, that’s exactly how I feel 😭

LadyCamp

I always got rip off Jackson 5 from him no shade

Dee Shanell

Oh wow, you’re right! The resemblance is uncanny. That’s what was familiar about that “oh oh oh” part I pointed out! He just stealing from everybody lmao

Steven Wilder

I don’t know it’s like I kinda knew these things about Bruno Mars but I just kind of put it in the back of my head, and vibed with his songs I liked, but now that you articulated those same thoughts…🤔😬hmm I’m kinda side eyeing ol dude LOL

Jay.Eli

funny enough, bruno grew up in hawaii just like bretman rock 😂 as a military kid who lived in hawaii for some time, there was NOT a large black population or influence at all (especially decades ago). bretman and bruno are both posers

Dee Shanell

Honestly, that's relatable. I just vibe to some music also just because it sounds good, and don't really think that deep into it lol so nothing wrong with that. But yeah I just personally can't do that with Bruno 😂

Dee Shanell

Wow that's interesting. It's giving identity crisis lol

Mikey

i’ve always thought he releases the same song with just different music videos 😭 idk how else to explain it

onyx 💫

unrelated but ive been lovingggg u yapping lol in recent vids (i think from the nicki vid going up), u r so well spoken its refreshing in this world of media illiteracy, anyway i like the song but he needs to let go of the 70s groove hes been leaning on it for a bit now and i also dont like what he reps in terms of him being one of the male artists that get to keep their sound the same whereas his female counterparts HAVE to switch it up. this has been a convo on twt lately and ive been analysing it a bit more like yea his music does sound very caricature like and he never switches the base of it up lol

Mr. Squidward

The “I just might” title is kinda crazy 💀🤣

vaygatti

I'm here purely for the Bruno rant. The song is just there...

Zena

I literally said “Kid Fury” right before the caption popped up. 🤣

BruhItsRodrick

Don’t apologize Dee😂 I love a good rant‼️

Ishmael Bamba

not let me know so i can go support them😹 yall bout to go make an alliance

Jackdeel🔱

Dee I get what your saying but this man wrote all I ask for Adele one of the best songs I have ever heard bht I see your point as a white man I don’t have the same level of understanding as you or experience but when u say it I see it but not the CIA I’m dying

Jackdeel🔱

Omg same I went into this video liking Bruno 10 minutes later I cant stand him like dee ahhaah

Mona.

I don't think you do necessarily get what she's saying because your comment has nothing to do with her point 😭 she even acknowledged that he's talented, so that's irrelevant. You also don't have to be a person of color to find what he's doing odd. Aside from the rip off of black culture, his whole act and style is a 70s gimmick. I actually like his music but it would be dishonest of me to deny how bizarre what he's doing is. Dee made a great point stating that no one else would be able to get away with this. Imagine a non-black rapper today using outdated lingo like "word up", "fresh", etc. constantly in their music while dressing & dancing like Run-DMC LOL they would be a laughing stock. So I get her criticism, even as a Bruno fan

Mona.

I feel the same LMAO I've always technically known this about Bruno but just never pondered on it long enough. Hearing her thoroughly break this down though really made me think. I'm still gonna listen to him 🤣 but I can't deny that she's right

Rainbow

Personally I enjoy Bruno's music, but you made a lot of valid points when he comes to him and his music. You're definitely not the only person who shares this sentiment. I remember some years ago this channel called The Grapevine went viral for their debate over whether Bruno Mars is a culture vulture.

Ben Turner

We LOVE your rants Dee! 😭😭😭 if you ranted for 10 mins and reacted for 3 we would still be locked in!

naomi nadia

I like his older music (when i'm in the mood) but this vibe I have to get used to like it's too much going on LMAO.. but leon thomas opening up for his upcoming tour. I'm thinking about it but I don't want to be disappointed 😭

naomi nadia

the "OH OH OHHH" interpolates that old song "move your feet" and I personally don't even think that matches the song. This was mediocre I'm sorry...

WhatItDoTy

I love a good hate watch😂😂

Justine

Never thought I would see the day this would pop up in Patreon😂😂. I usually like his music I'd say I'm a casual fan and I'd have to agree with the rant lol. But with this song, it's not bad he sounds good but honestly, I was bored I hope the other songs on the album sound better than this. Also, Happy New Year Dee!🎆 I have to catch up on videos on here 😂

onyx 💫

also to add, his voice on contemporary sounds like apt or die wit a smile do sound good! and both those songs were massiveeee so i dont even know if the "he's only doing it for the most commercial gain" excuse (what shawn cee said) is valid anymore

August

bruno pissed me off with uptown funk for a good decade but he's won me over more recently even if some of his hits terrorized me

Jackdeel🔱

Yeh I worded it wrong I agree with everything she said but I don’t hate him is what u ment dee doesn’t like him as a black woman watching someone rip off her culture someone who isn’t black yes I get the whole old school style but I don’t think that was the main issue the fact he is a Latino man playing up to black stereotypes I was pointing out he wrote the song for Adele because it’s one of my fav songs tbh as a joke I know that doesn’t make any of the other issues better hope this clears up my point 🤍

Lunamoon 🌙

That’s genuinely such a fair criticism 😂😂 cuz not gonna lie I kept this in the back of my mind like why he always dressed like he in the 60s or 70s lol

Dee Shanell

🤣 glad you enjoyed the rant! I was like damn am I yappin too much, they probably just want me to get into the video lol

Dee Shanell

I remember I heard him say he didn’t like him yearsss ago when I used to listen, and Chrissle was like “what?! I loveee bruno!” Lol I need to check in on them

Dee Shanell

😂😂 because I usually only hear people glaze him. I wanna go provide moral support to those who dislike him lmao

Dee Shanell

So well said Mona! And omg that’s such a great example regarding the rapper! There’s no way in hell a rapper would get away with all that. Or even if a pop artist tried to completely emulate Michael Jackson to this extreme (along with the socks, the glitter outfits, etc. lol). People would be so turned off! It’s crazy that people let Bruno do all this with little criticism

Dee Shanell

Appreciate this! I’m always second guessing if I’m yappin too long lol

Dee Shanell

Oh that’s wassup, good for Leon! But yeah there’s a lottt going on for sure. He’s tryna cram in every single element of 70s funk he studied lmao

Kaye

I agree with you on this so much Dee! The songs I do like by Bruno are the ones where he seems authentic and doesn't feel like 70s, 80s "borrowed" aesthetic. Such as Grenade and the song he has with Lady Gaga. Also to your point my parents love Uptown Funk and they are in their 70s lol.

Dee Shanell

Same! I remember I heard him for the first time on the hook of “Nothing on you” and was so shook how amazing he sounded. I only loved that song because of him. I wish he just kept experimenting with his own unique sound instead of falling into this impersonation nonsense lol

RirixMimi

People are DRAGGING him all over Twitter for not switching up his sound, lol. So you’re not alone 😭.

Anndre'a Rankin

Fun fact Brunos family were actually impersonators. He grew up in a family band as an Elvis impersonator since he was like 4 . They did covers. Its deeply ingrained in this man😭😭💀 that being said extremely talented voice amazing. I miss the older stuff though

Daniel

The music video is giving Doordash lmao 😭

Muffinz Okuurr

Lmfaooo, not spy on him. Young Bruno was killing it back then. "Marry You & Locked Out of Heaven" Bruno, bops.

Justice

when you said “is Bruno even his real name?” I busted out laughing because it’s actually Peter 🤣

Kalen Harley

Junior Senior – "Move Your Feet" (2002): The chorus's vocal refrain ("do do do") Leo Sayer – "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing" (1976) "Walking on Sunshine"(1983) I think these are the songs that he’s referencing which is definitely an amalgamation of a lot of older songs and the reason why the song sounds so familiar

Chuck

One of the more relatable/enjoyable rants I've heard in a while lol. I agree, his voice is great and his music is always going to sound good. I just feel like he doesn't make music that establishes himself as an original creator. It's always going to sound like something you've heard before. If he's going for nostalgia then he's got that on lock!

markon

yeah I strongly agree with the rant, and it’s a shame cause he has an amazing voice and talent. I can’t get into most of his music because of that. The songs where it sounds a bit fresher, like his songs with Cardi B, I really like.

Zaniya

Yeah they said it sounds like a song for a commercial like Old Navy😂😂

Brooke

As a fan of old school r&b and funk I can't cosign a modern day Elvis. Though he's so freaking talented. And as a HUGE OutKast fan he also took inspiration from the Hey Yah video. Reminds me a lot of what the K Pop industry is doing with r&b and hip hop by taking something that already exists and relabeling it.

Immortal B

Hes a COSPLAYER! Mind you Bruno is MEXICAN AND NAMED PETER!

Rox wit Cliq

Haven’t seen the reaction yet but girl this song was ass 😭

Rox wit Cliq

I literally was talking about how tf he gets away with making the same shit since he debuted but careful thinking, he doesn’t oversaturate. He disappears for years, drops one project and suddenly his repetition gets framed as “timeless” instead of lazy. Same reason Adele can come back doing the same slow shit and still get praised. ALSO he give them white folks an escape route to enjoy black music without it benefiting black people

Ren

no way i’m seeing you react to bruno mars 😂😂 💀 about to react. i usually like his music but i think im tired of his music now bc it’s the same thing every time

Alexander

LMAOOO i've always had the same opinion. and all his songs sound similar...

Dee Shanell

I meannnn…a lot of artists never switch up their sound. I’m surprised that’s the main issue people are focused on lol that’s not my main issue with him

Dee Shanell

Wow the plot thickens lmao that’s so interesting. No wonder this man has an identity crisis 😭

Dee Shanell

Yeah someone else pointed this out, that’s funny 😭 I figured maybe only “Mars” was the stage name but of course he would use an entirely different alias lol

Dee Shanell

Glad you enjoyed lol but yeah I agree! He taps into that nostalgia factor heavy, which is why a lot of older people are obsessed with him 😭

Dee Shanell

Such an amazing talent! His older music was definitely more authentic

Dee Shanell

Yeah I didn’t realize his last album dropped 10 years ago until I looked it up on a recent reaction! Which is even more crazy that he was talking like JJ from Good Times at 30 fucking years old 😂 but yeah I definitely think he makes this sound more palatable for the masses BECAUSE he isn’t black, which makes me sad

annoyedsquire

He's super popular because he's palatable to the white audience. That's why he gets all the spoils. And I hear you, it feels like the wallmartification of black soul music. So I'd rather listen to James Brown instead of a great value version of it

Larry middleton

You are not alone lol I’ve felt the same way!! Now I’m a Chris brown fan… everytime Chris would be Nomited back in the day… here comes Bruno mars winning all of the awards 😒 when Bruno first came out it was more authentic… like grenade

geoffy

Please, I said the same thing with people trynna say “2026 is the new 2016.” Like we are living in a new year aka a nostalgia year also. Why can’t we have our own era at this time? Don’t get me wrong they were great time but damnn we are in a new year. 😭😭

geoffy

He did get called out in 2018 for “culture vulture” but people denied he was one. So I’m not sure if that’s like “not getting a pass”

Jeff the business Shark

Wait I feel the same cause I was gagged when I found out he wasn't black. Also all his songs sound the same or atleast his hits cause that's all I know.

gigu

i can’t stand laughing 😭 dee you have me cracking up so bad because he really is an impersonator with a really good voice. i agree if BLACK artists tried to pull this, it wouldn’t be the same result!

RirixMimi

Yeah, I know. But most people who don't switch up their sound are usually authentic. He started cosplaying around 2015 and hasn't stopped since, besides the few songs that are more modern (mainly the songs he's featured on). So people are tired.

RirixMimi

Those are all by white artists😭. But I guess those songs have to be inspired by black artists from before! Like Move Your Feet which I think samples Diana Ross.

chelly bell

😂😂😂. I agree that the man lacks originality that's it, that's all, and it has been like that for a while now. To me, he was popping when he first came out and was putting out more original songs. It sucks that he seemingly just cares more about following the money. Also, he could be “paying homage” to the artists of those times(the 70s) but I don't recall him saying that that's what this is.

foxyf4g 💞

this is very interesting bc I feel like his older music wasn’t like this at all- his 2010’s music wasn’t like this 😭

Tennessee Love

I am afraid to state my opinion lol. I get what u saying Dee about him and his music. I wish he would change it up some, but I like him overall including his music. I just like the vibe and the nostalgia, plus some of the other music out now isn't hitting. Another thing is to much knowledge he hasn't shit on any black artist of the past. It doesn't give culture vulture to me tho

Dee Shanell

Don't be scared, this is a safe space 😂 but you don't have to shit on black artists to be a culture vulture...by definition, a culture vulture is "someone who steals traits, language and/or fashion from another ethnic group". By literal definition, Bruno is a culture vulture lol none of his aesthetic represents Filipino/Caucasian/Spanish culture (which are his own ethic groups). Everything from the style of music, the outfits, the slang and even the way in which he pronounces words is the epitome of 70s black culture. Anyone is free to feel how they like, I'm not telling anyone not to enjoy his music so congrats if you do lmao but anyone saying he's not a culture vulture is just in denial or simply ignorant to what 70s black culture embodies. We all have the internet though so it isn't hard to figure out. Most people who watch me are younger, but I'm old enough to be very familiar with what 70s black culture looks like. This man is acting like a character straight out of Good Times 😭 like his music all you like, but he is 100% a culture vulture, and that's just a fact

Dee Shanell

Right, that was the real him lol but this new sound performs better so he's following the bag

Dee Shanell

Exactlyyy he's chasing the bag. This new sound performs way better than his previous work. But there's a clear difference between paying homage and being a walking caricature lol when it gets this extreme, it's no longer as innocent as paying homage imo

Tennessee Love

True I just don't feel like there is malice behind it. His proximity to whiteness allows him to make this music and it be more palatable to the whites. Idk I just don't feel that like he is disrespecting the culture in a way if that makes sense lol. Calling him Michael Jackson like they did on YouTube was wild tho. I know he released some pop music last year with one of the kpop girls and people weren't feeling it, so he ran back towards funk music. Hope my response doesn't come off as rude or anything.

Dee Shanell

Yeahh once again, malice isn't required to be a culture vulture. That has nothing to do with the definition. I'd argue that most of the time, there's no harm or disrespect intended from culture vultures, they just genuinely love the music and want to recreate it. I don't think Bruno is this evil man trying to make fun of black people lmao I touched on this at 1:50 & 3:56. But of course, people can have different opinions, I'm not expecting everyone to agree. You're not rude at all, thanks for being respectful and adding to the discussion 🤗 all love ❤️

rebuka

I liked his music a lot in middle school which was a decade ago for me but this song sounds like some Disney villain dance number. And you’re so right about the black culture theft, it’s the same reason I can’t really get into k pop like that. I hate how white people glaze non black artist doing black art but then they be the same ones shitting on actual black musicians.

Shelby

I really didn’t think too deep about him but you opened my eyes completely. It wasn’t that long ago that I realized this man isn’t even partially black. 😭 And sure as hell didn’t think much about the lyrics

Ryan

This is my first time commenting, but I had to because I HATE this man's music and persona lmao. People would always look at me sideways when I would say that. I could never really pin-point or articulate why but everything you described is exactly it. He just feels like a caricature of old-school black music and culture. I tried listening to this on my own and turned it off as soon as he started singing because it's the same old shit. He has not changed at all. The thing is, the music isn't even bad but because it's him I hate it lmao. It's even more irritating because I remember when he first popped up with Just the Way You Are, and other hits like Grenade, It Will Rain, Talking to the Moon, Locked Out of Heaven. Even though those were more pop and generic they still felt original. Ever since Uptown Funk he's been stuck in the 70s/80s. It's been 10 years, he needs to let it go

K 🩷

i mean girl his name is peterksdjcfvfjkvhncfjvhcv

mondawmin mall

I hear you and before his silk sonic era, I would’ve disagreed with you because More thought was put into the music, especially him being a multi instrumentalist, but after him and Anderson were working together, everything that I’ve heard from him has been generic. It sounds like he loaded it into ChatGPT, but I will say as far as in dressing old I don’t think that’s too far off from his actual character because he’s been dressing like 70s figures since he was a four-year-old on the Arsenio Hall show

mondawmin mall

You gotta also remember he’s written hit songs for Black artists it’s a laundry list like he wrote Ceelo Green’s “ F you”

Panashe

I also noticed Bruno grew his hair out so he looks more “racially ambiguous” with those thick curls. You’d think he’s a lightskin Black man and not a 5ft5 Hawaiian named Peter

Dee Shanell

That's irrelevant and has nothing to do with my point and criticism lol good for him

Dee Shanell

Exactlyy, this cosplay black aesthetic is OD lol I have hella really old family members from that era and I also used to watch re-runs of 70s black shows like Good Times, Sanford & Son, etc. and Bruno tries very hard to act just like them 😭 it makes me so uncomfortable. The fact that more people aren't turned off by this is surprising

Dee Shanell

Yeahh I think a lot of people give him a pass because they think he's mixed with black lol

Ohemaa MaMokowa

It is a fun song but it does seem like Bruno is stuck doing what works which looks like he's been doing for about 10 years now 🤣 He is talented but yeah he needs to grow musically

Jay.Eli

So he can be a caricature of black men from the 70s because he's written songs for black artists? 😭 So? That's not a justification nor does it give him a pass?? You're also justifying the style he ripped off by saying you saw him dress like that at 4 years old? LMAO please stop. Bruno was not dressing like this early in his career, all of his earlier music videos he was dressed normal. Even if he was, he's still ripping off their style from the 70s...not understanding your points

mondawmin mall

Mind you I haven’t like his music since 2016 and I hear what you’re saying I’m just as someone who likes a lot of older things and does and listens to and place things that are way before my time I preferred it but not to be level of what he’s doing as far as the clothes go and the personnel he’s putting on it’s the reason why I ain’t lie to none of his music since 2016 because that fake character has been blood into it any year after that, that’s why I don’t really like this music for the past almost 10 years. I’m not saying you’re wrong but I’m saying specific things like him being fascinated with her old stuff and displaying it all the time I do that.

mondawmin mall

What I’m saying is I’ve seen people like what he’s made for other people but not like his music which is fine

TONYLUXE

I’m just ready for him to move on. He been on this style of music since I was a sophomore in high school and I’m turning 26 soon. Enough is enough respectfully😂

Dee Shanell

Wallmartification is so real! 😂 but agreed! I always say when artists copy old school music without making it their own, it just makes me want to listen to the original (which is usually way better). I’m even typically turned off by samples of beats unless they really make it different and unique

Bookishlover

Now I might come off very stupid and ignorant but this is how I find out Bruno Mars is not black and that his government name is Peter. Now hearing you say all this has really opened my eyes. Damn Peter u really had me fooled.

Charisma Appiah-Nuamah

I only ever thought this 70s 80s vibe was gonna last for a or 2 albums. Bruno ain't said anything meaningful in years. A hawaiian Dominican Filipino 🤣wth

Mothic Beauty

It feels like music for kids to introduce them to what 70s music was like...Too fake

charmaine

I don’t mind him making old school inspired music but the music needs to be good. it’s like how I felt with doja’s album, I already have playlists dedicated to the 70s,80s,90s and 00s. so if you’re making music inspired from those times, make it good or else imma just go listen to the playlist I have that I know have good music. the lyrics in this song did not flow well together for me and it’s not something that would make me want to sing or dance along. I notice a lot of his popular songs chart on spotify so I guess he’s gotten comfortable and know he doesn’t have to put in effort anymore

tom

when she read 24k magic i was crying 😂

mondawmin mall

This!!!! This is exactly how I feel about all his music that’s been released since 2020

Busybeingblck

ykw I agree with your tin foil theories bc he was JUST performing in Israel (derogatory) n he had a wholeee blaccent EEEYUCK!! it’s a tale as old as time cus nonblack people perform blackness and they love bc it’s not a black person. Esp in hip pop, the central cees and recently an white female artist named sunshine who blew up off sounding like a black woman or the entire kpop genre shit

zZmiL3yy

LMFAOOO Dee’s face of absolute DISBELIEF and DIGUST as if Bruno himself killing ppl on film is frying meeeeeeeeee

RealTriple

I came for the rant...it made my day. Oddly enough I was indifferent about him, but recognized he had some good songs. However I still didn't really vibe to his music like that. After hearing your rant made me realize that may be why I just couldn't get into it. I don't mind artist putting a twist on old music, but he doesn't it's copy, paste and repeat. LOL

Dee Shanell

Glad you enjoyed the rant lol but yes it’s copy, paste forsure!

Dee Shanell

Tin foil theories 😂 But agreed! People love black shit being done by non-black people, it’s really unfortunate

Dee Shanell

😭 he might as well add “jive turkey” in his songs too!

shawny

OMGGG IVE ALWAYS HATED BRUNO AND ITS OKAY QUEEN YOU ARENT ALONE LMAOO 😭😭
