The term 'black music' is used when someone is referring to 'urban' or 'street' music. To substitute the word 'street' for the word 'black' is degrading and suggests that the street is a black persons place.
Some people say the term means music that originated from African Americans but the definition doesn't fit because it doesn't encompass UK Garage, Grime, Dubstep etc. which are all thought of as Black Music styles. Similarly, Rock'n'Roll is not thought of as a Black Music style dispite its origins.

The MOBO (Music of Black Origin) Awards has now removed Jazz as a category because it is no longer seen as a Black Music style. This fact strengthens the argument that the term is not used to indicate the colour of the skin of the original musicians, but rather the class of the people involved in the scene.
Anyone who believes in racial equality should find the term Black Music offensive.

Get the black music mug.Methamphetamine and typically a short acting barbiturate. Was fairly more common in the 50s and 60s. Not as much anymore, often times will stay focused on one task (Methamphetamine), and is extemely hard to distrub that task (Methampetamine + Barbiturate).
Back in the day, my grandfather used to work in orchards picking fruit and didn't care about anything... I think it was the black beauties.
