But listen to them side by side and tell me that Uptown Funk does not sound like Walk The Dinosaur. Something is wrong here! via IFTTT http://ift.tt/1G9rsRD

The truth is that rappers have gained access to Silicon Valley much faster than the norm for not just blacks and Latinos but whites too. The game of gaining investors is hard and you have to talk to everyone. But it is harder still when we as blacks and Latinos ignore each othe
