How come 3 of our biggest male musical icons died without passing their genes on ?

[Joe Money]

It's not even about the kids being musicians or what not but to directly inherit that estate and hopefully pass the economic power and genes on to their own kids at some pointit regenerates, WE ARE AN AFRICAN PEOPLE, A MAN OF GREAT PROMINENCE WITH NO MALE HEIRS IS NOT THE MOVE

You mean, we are an African-American people, which means we lack an established patriarchal system where wealth is passed from father to son.

To be fair, Oprah won't be passing anything down either. Neither will Obama. Nor Will Smith, judging by his son's alternative behavior. Nor will Beyoncé and Jay-Z, as I doubt they will have more children.

Marvin Gaye III was adopted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Niggas up in here posting all these fraudulent heirs.

This.

African American people have been largely kept from obtaining great wealth let alone make it common to pass on generational wealth.

From reconstruction to the industrial revolution and on to today with the tech industry. Seems like even in the lane we see to do prominently well in the wealth still doesn't get passed on.

Did you assholes ever stop and think that maybe hoarding wealth is unnatural?

 

[Non-StopJFK2TAB]

Prince was one of a million children. Micheal was one of a million children.

 

[AtomAnt]

Marvin got a son.....

Marvin Gaye III was adopted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"UNNATURAL " U say? Can u tell that to your white devil family members, who inherit wealth and use it to maintain white supremacy over black folks, tell them it's "unnatural" to build a dynasty and maintain future generations thru a bloodline that came from folks who were hung on trees and worked 16hours getting whipped under the sun picking cotton, and would've wished nothing but to see their seeds prosper and free themselves from those shackles, thru economic freedom, yeah tell that to millions of the same black folks they professed to care about , who suffer becos they don't have generational wealth passed down to them that would've enabled them to gain some forms of economic power to further group economics
Yeah tell them it's unnatural!
Tell that to the bushes, Rockefeller, Morgan etc

 

[WorldEX]

Do not be surprise if Prince do have kids, the man was very secretive.

 

[Osca Lee]

With those types, rarely the child ever makes it close to what their parents was.

Imagine being the child of Jimi, Michael or Prince, lol.

bro you touched on some real shit...kids of people like that never live up to what they are expected to live up to. I see now days the kids of celebs and athletes with talent or without are pushed in our faces and just because they are the son or daughter of this or that icon we give them a pass. Many go on to never do shit and live off their parents name

 

[Sea Bastid]

Prince had a son, boy gregory died in his first week of life. His 2nd seed was miscarried. Prince was married twice.

Mike paid for some white kids to call his own. I love you mike, but that's what you did bruh.

Jimi fucked alot of white bitches in london in a haze of weed and whatever the fuck else, he prolly got
some kids out there he never knew bout.

Micheal had a biological son named Billy

 

[rNubb]

Black folks put too much value on music, dancing and comedy.

 

[godofwine]

Bob Marley who can be argued changed the world as we know it thru his music had 8kids! Moot !!
Had 1 before he even had a career cos he adopted and married Rita while she was pregnant with someone else's child.

Stevie the 2nd greatest next to Marley in my opinion has atleast 4kids and it didn't stop his creativity either

It ain't across the board fact, but it happens far too often to be called a coincidence.

last name slowface?

too much pressure it seems. It's really unfair for people to place high expectations on children just because their parents did well.
Damn, look at Magic and Herschel Walker. I know of non-public dudes who wished the seed that created their children were swallowed.
I know about a husband/wife whose four children (all boys) fell to street violence one by one - hard working church dedicated parents. It's a crapshoot.
I know a few entrepreneurs/business owners whose hard work will die with them. All successful. Kids just...ain't interested.

 

[Rollie_Fingaz]

Part of me thinks that only the youngest one (Blanket) was Mikes.

Don't worry Bob Marley made up for all of them....

 

[Mr. Met]

Not all of them. It's funny how the blind one got it right, all with black women no less.

Ain't that some shit. Right on Stevie.

It's rather interesting being as a blackman u have that urge and desire to pass ur essence unto another individual from ur experience..
All 3 have conspiracies on their deaths too

Just random getting smoked out thoughts

Hoarding wealth and maintaining resources are two different things. And access to men who have wealth and resources is a NATURAL, BIOLOGICAL impulse that women have. It more likely insures the genetic survival of offspring.

Not all of them. It's funny how the blind one got it right, all with black women no less.

Stevie is blind. He's immune to the visual effects of white supremacy.

I think people like M.J. and Prince are anomalies savants that cannot be replicated much the way Einstein, da Vincci, Charlie Parker, and others have not been replicated.. Besides as big as the Jackson family is, none of them are close to being what Michael was, so chances are that their children would not have lived up to the expectations created by their fathers....

Marley's are the exception

Right....no kid of a superstar has ever accomplished more

Why do folKS keep thinking it's about their kids being performers? That's not the aim, the aim is to retain the power and the wealth building machinery their forebears have established and use it for the good of the community and of course carry on the legacy

When I read the title I thought Pac was gonna be one of the icons

 

[madgoose]

forget Luther.

***FIXED***

Yep I forgot to add that too

 

[exiledking]

Where did all of them get their musical genes? From no where. They were influenced by those who came before them.

Contrary to popular belief, talent dependent necessarily pass on like that.

How many great b ball players, musicians, great speakers, politicians, activists, etc actually come from another one?


Ideas come from anywhere and inspire people in their conditions. It doesn't just come from fucking.
