The UK has almost all of the best artists, but the US has almost all of the good artists. It mind sound like a trivial distinction, but the US is much more musically deep while Britain is way more top heavy.

I'm sure Skinny will have a few choice words  |
I didn't say there aren't people of African decent in the UK... have no idea how that became a logical thing for you.
I just haven't heard of the massive influence on music culture like it has been in the states. American's really have just about all of their music culture to thank for the African American community. Right?
I am in no way advocating that black people in the UK aren't musical... I just haven't heard how it compares to the massive musical influence of it on this side of the pond, including Jamaica.
I mean for example, when you think of German literature, May Ayim isn't who first comes to mind, yet she greatly contributed to modern German literature. I feel all of the British artists mentioned so far are nowhere near the level of a realm of influence as say Louis Armstrong, Jimi Hendrix, or Dr. Dre.
Which UK artist that isn't white is in BEA top 100 (or dare I even say top 500) artists?
There's plenty that are (African) American... that's the point I'm making.
Goddammit why do people have to misunderstand me.
EDIT: There are 7 of the top 20 artists in America that are African American... ZERO for the top 20 of the Brits.
THAT was the point I was making.

SOOOO much of American Music Culture comes from the African American community. |
Soooo much of British Music Culture too, though 
I voted UK for the love of Joy Division and Beatles, but that was pretty close, cause I love The Velvet Underground and Miles Davis too... |
I think this is spot on if I understand it like I think you mean it... I think African Americans influenced music in the UK more than anyone else of African decent.
Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, and Beatles all covered/have stated African American music was huge influence on them.
