White musicians have been “appropriating” black music for decades. From Elvis to Led Zeppelin to Eminem. This is nothing new.

That may be true, but "black" music didn't come into being from scratch. The inventors of the blues used "white" music and "white" instruments, made an adjustment and created their own variation (blues). Then white people took that variation, used it, tweaked it and made their own variation (hard rock). And on and on back and forth. That's the way civilizations work. That's also why the blues could only have been invented in the USA. Africans didn't play guitars. Nobody gets to claim to be the originator of anything in this world, except God.
