Book excerpt: In the last five years thousands of articles have been written about the white privilege and millions of times have been distributed on social networks. The main idea of these articles is the existence of a privilege that the white artists (more in the USA and UK) benefit, a privilege that lacks or is at a lower level for black people and other minorities. In this report I will explore a very small part of the music industry from the USA, more precisely I will investigate the contribution, greater or lesser, of black and white artists in the production and writing of their albums. The artists investigated in this report are Taylor Swift, Kanye West, Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar, Macklemore & Ryan, Adele and Beck. I selected these artists because the music produced and released by them were used to provide examples of racial discrimination that takes place in the music industry. Why black artists do not win the Album of the Year so often as white artists? The purpose of this report is to show (within the limits of the information used): - the creativity, originality and novelty of the investigated artists; - the artist who enjoys a greater contribution in the production and writing of songs from the album or albums that have been released; - whether the awards and recognition offered by the USA music industry are based on originality, creativity and novelty in music, or are offered based on the colour of the skin; - what are the differences between the music recognized by receiving an award and music that did not receive an award, but was nominated for the music award (either by the vote of the general public or by the vote of the members of the jury that awarded the song or the album); - whether the loss of the award is a direct and personal non-recognition of the artist who performed the songs and under whose name the songs and album are released; - whether the loss of the award is a direct and personal non-recognition of the producers and lyricists who created parts of a song and the album; - reasons that might justify why white artists receive more recognition than black artists in the music industry (only the artists in this report and Grammy Awards: Album of the Year, Best Rap Album, MTV, Beyoncé versus Taylor Swift regarding the originality of two songs). This report was born out of the urgent need to confront and challenge the core arguments of black artists who feel and promote the idea of injustice regarding their music, hoping to provide clearer, more transparent information and better-founded reasons for the institution’s decision to award the white artists from this report. Black artists and white artists are in need of answers and this report is a meditative resource about the recognition of their contribution in the music industry. In this report interested people about music and awards will find the space to read about it and confront their knowledge with the report’s findings. The report can be used to calm the realities of racism and can provide a point of reference of the quality, originality and novelty of the music used in this report, but also for future artists waiting to be dicovered. The findings of the report might be a challenge for people with a fixed opinion about who is the best artist despite the evidence used. In the end, the findings of this report are a challenge for the music industry as well, as it contributes to the wider discussion about creativity, originality and novelty of the artists and who/which artist/song/album should get the higher award.
