    Sorry it's not Barnsley F.C related.

    The mobos are on tonight. It's an awards thing for just black people.

    If they had a just white people awards thing what do you think would happen?

    It stands for Music Of Black Origin. There have been white award-winners.

    It’s most certainly not an award only for black people

    It isn’t awards for just black people at all. Past winners include Jessie J and Sam Smith. Mick Hucknall won an outstanding achievement award.

    It’s just awards for music of black origin, which is quite a lot to be fair, jazz, hip hop, grime, soul, gospel, blues, r&b, reggae, garage, funk. Even rock and roll. More.

    Most stuff could be derived as ‘mobo’ I imagine, possibly except sickly pop and heavy rock, so a lot of music artists of any race can and do win.

    The name might be a bit misleading but there is no racial discrimination in the awards, it’s just about where the music had its origins.

    They had an awards show just for white people the other year; the Oscars...(!)

    All modern popular music is mobo so anyone could win.

    Then I would advise them to avoid it. Much like I will be doing with the Moobs tonight.

    I was reading about the so called 'Black Metal' scene. Seems bizarre that loads of the bands are from Norway though.

    I'm not a big fan but some of it's ok. It doesn't really have its roots in mobo though.
