This wasn't the case from the 60's up to the 90's. The same is true with the film industry as well. The originality and creativity has gone downhill.
I would say that's true about the music industry in general, but yeah LA used to be amazing. Metallica, Guns & Roses, Van Halen...

So in order to have soul an area needs to be full of gang bangers and hood rats? Go move up to Palmdale or out to Rialto. You can find plenty of soul there.

LA was worse in the 1990s. Actually the 90s was a bad time to be in LA, that was why Seattle was so popular back then. Now, even though LA has it's problems, it is much safer now than it was then. We also do not have the racism we had in the 90s. The problems LA has now are very different than back 30 years ago, the early 90s was very tough plus there was a recession at that time, as well as the riots,etc... It was a different time, a different generation, a different mindset and different way of thinking. Just glad it's gone and will never return, it is in the past.

Latinos began to outnumber Blacks at one end of the housing cost spectrum. At the other end the white grandchildren of the generation that fled lost their grandparents fear of living among Black people. And their generally greater economic power is letting them replace Black families as the seniors die off and the survivors puts the home on the market.

So the previous poster has a problem with Latino people living in their neighborhood? Sounds like that's what they're saying.

Once upon a time the center of Black culture in LA was Central Ave then about 20 years ago what had become an annual Cinco de Mayo riot in a Southland school as payback for perceived disrespect during Black History Month observations hit Jefferson High School. The school which served Central and Martin Luther King was 9 to 1 Latinos to Blacks.

Today with the cultural center around Crenshaw and Liemert Park practically everyone new who moves in is White and you can see large anti gentrification billboards along Slauson. And a white big church was renting space in Dorsey High school auditorium

Just saying Black folks are moving towards having no cultural center due to their 10% and dropping population
