reggaeton was inspired by reggae dancehall, and is bigger than dance hall but some of my jamaican brothers don´t compare or say nothing, but want to boycott afrobeats from yours black brothers from África WHY?? WE ARE ONE jamaicans are africans descendants we are ONE BLOOD.
Reggaetón is not bigger than dancehall and they too are African descendants. Reggaetón is streamed more because of the population of the countries is was formed in vs Jamaica and the Caribbean. Reggaeton is literally Dancehall done in another language. What Jamaicans are upset about is that Afrobeat artists uses a lot of Jamaican culture and rebrand it as Afrobeat from Africa. This Affects brand Jamaica, and the Jamaican GDP that depends highly on its culture. Africa was before Jamaica, so its easy to appropriate Jamaica's culture vs Reggaeton who everyone can see is from Jamaica.
@@NativeNomad10 rebrand it as Afrobeat?? Only u and some ignorant dumbs few jamaicans think so,Are you crazy?? When Fela Kuti started the AFROBEAT MOVEMENT IN 70´S , the great Jamaicans people love afrobeat thats why Burna Boy sold out in his showhe did in kingston than other jamaicans artists, research more REGGAETON is mega bigger than dancehall, you can see the numbers in youtube they sold out stadium in USA and all south america, don´t try to compare, you must research before writing.
The problem isn't the music cause dancehall in a great place musically. The issue is nuff don't have the business acumen and a hustle the music. Good interview greybeard,, ari and javi
The problem is the music dancehall needs to turn back to the authentic 90s style with new future sound twist like how reggeaton and dembow did that’s what the world likes to hear not trap hall shit
Comparing the music industry of a little Island with the one of a whole continent is not relevant ,but as an cultural impact Dancehall had more superstars and Grammy artists than afrobeats plus it was and it is a huge influence for both afrobeat and reggaeton geners!
The only problem I see that dancehall has stopped in time there has been no innovation, and many artists preach a lot of violent messages, while afrobeats is only about joy, living life in peace, love between man and woman and happiness, that's the energy that the afrobeats style carries that is conquering the whole world, dancehall has to evolve, take the violence out of the lyrics, black against black violence, stop degrading our race, evolve and pass pure joy to the people.
The best option is to repackage the Dancehall genre as Dancehall Afrobeats, and get more Africa views. The motherland will always win in the long run. Caribbean culture is accepted in Africa unlike AA’s.
Black people are rising to our true consciousness, after physical and spiritual bondage for disrespecting the most high but after the sufferation, things will be reveal to us. So now, we're walking in our path, acknowledging our beauty, look; "the pendulum has swung, Black is in fashion!" Hence the spark in our music again, look at Afro beats, look inna Dancehall music and that doesn't mean just Jamaica, look down inna Trinidad, and Tobago. Nothing like it has happened before, no, not like this. Look how Soca music transcended inna different gear and deserves to be recognized as its own genre. Nevertheless, Babylon fight that, but just look. We must not take this lightly, for our voices will be needed to sound the beautiful trumpet of Jah. We must look for the mass repatriation of all Africans near and far, back to the motherland. For when we see this, we will know that the return of the most high is near. Be not deceived, look not to the sky, but deep within one's self, there, you will find Jah. Africa awaits her children. Light and love my people. Love y'all. Doh she say mi nah tell yuh!
One main reason why labels aren't looking dancehall direction is the image most artist have these days, the bleaching image, big labels won't market their music/image to the larger platform/countries that is divided by color...alot of of jamaican artist will just stay local
@@yudahel8521 "keep making music for yourself" bwoy, chill, jamaican music is a worldwide things more than afrobeats, reggae music is extremely popular in Europe more than afro beats, Europe isn't just England, reggae is large in France, yes, reggae has broken language barriers, not to mention in South America..chill and humble yourself, the only problem is dancehall doesn't have a marketable image right now
@@yudahel8521 you know nothing about danchall do you realize we started reggeaton dembow Trinidad dancehall Japanese dancehall rap music and soca influence we created the world music
@Jay Jay I see what you're saying but if you understand the history of both then you wouldn't say that, they aren't similar but they are our music. Dancehall is actually popular just not worldwide as reggae.
Ghana is talking about us. Africa isn't talking about us, Europe is talking about us, America is talking about us,and now Carribean is talking about us, wow God will save Nigeria.
No fucking clarity in our music. The dialect is a struggle for mainstream. The biggest reggae/ dancehall records it's those that have good clarity. Afrobeats artist has great clarity.
It’s not that because Afrobeats artists don’t really speak English in their songs either. The sound is the problem and when Dancehall neglected the dancing space in the music in the late 2000s that’s when the genre started to fail
@@EjnrTV I'm telling you the clarity of the music plays a huge part. If you look at the biggest reggae and dancehall hits all of them has great clarity. I live in south jersey and I hear Chakka Demus and Pliers a million times on Z100 which is the biggest top 40 platform. It's because the melody is clear to the audience. Shaggy it wasn't me. Wayne Wonder No letting go. Go listen those tracks. That's what made Bob Marley stood out because his songs were 80 in english and not patois.
@@forevergooner4400 alright so explain how Afrobeats is getting through with no clarity. Most people don’t even know what they’re saying. Maybe only 30% of a big Afrobeats artist’s song has clear English. So how are they getting through?
@@EjnrTV Let's be real Afrobeats is NOT charting in the states like that. Maybe two songs from Davido. They do streaming number because that diaspora is fucking huge. But they aren't dominating the Hot 100 charts like Shaggy and them guys did.
Nothing wrong with comparison because when u get too relax u loose your drive what u guys need to do is look at the dancehall songs that cross over compare to these now one of the main problem is the content and the beat is another major problem the dancehall is a vibe music as u hear it u want to dance now a days it’s boring but apart from that there is no shortage of talent
There's 3 mil people in Jamaica.. 250 million in Nigeria alone. Not to mention the population in American and Europe. For Dancehall and Reggae to be as popular as it is it's pretty insane. Afrobeat and Reggaeton are just another Genre of Dancehall and Reggae. Jamaica is the mother and father. Jamaica has so many more popular artist than the whole of Afrobeat. It's not even close.
Jamaican culture/music is African culture/ music. Without AFRICANS brought to the islands, there's NO dancehall or raggae, or Jamaican culture PERIOD!!
Bro what are you even saying. Jamaica population is like 5% of Nigeria population n u think they have more musicians? Have you ever been to Africa? Jamaica people were taken away from Africa n u called them mother and father? Do u know music originated in Africa? We love Jamaica people but please don't call them father, where you find anything Africa.

@@mbalondonmba2917 Known musician internationally not more musician, Africa is the root of everything, but Jamaica converted that roots and influenced Africa as well
@@kenalimele5283 No, you should educate yourself. I wouldnt say steal but the current Afrobeat is nothing like past Afrobeat and is comprised highly of Dancehall elements mixed with hip hop, and even India
Anybody can see and hear a similarity with a few Afrobeat Artist style while some using a choice of words in their songs that are influenced from Dancehall.It’s just their target are easily capture b/c of the similarities that was already established,in their regions and now they can make it their own through younger generations.it the same like Reggaeton. We just need to acknowledge that dancehall culture in music influenced alot of new culture of of music and don’t fight.
@Jay Jay dancehall artist already done That! Dancehall artist are more under scrutiny b/c of the risk takes to challege,politucal views,social injustice, inequalities and through their controversial lyric, that's more often than many new artist than you should try to compare to ,and you not seeing that proved my point for you not to appreciate the challenge and gift to the world Dancehall brings!
@Jay Jay I guess you don't know the poor ppl General of Dancehall is and his songs are one of the reason why hasn't gotten his visa as of yet! And this proves again you don't appreciate Dancehall... yet you thought i don't know if I'm talking about Reggae Artist... If you think I'm naive of what I'm talking about why reply back! And for that reason,this is my last reply, don't like your arrogance!
@@skbosdgame8435 You are wrong.The Afrobeats sound has been in Africa even before Dancehall.It’s just that the world didn’t know about it. Just because Wizkid, Burna boy etc have dancehall sound doesn’t make Afrobeat dancehall
If dancehall doesn't evolve, it's going to be thrown in the rubbish bin, but it represents the degradation of the mind of the youths. These are dark days and we need love to bring hope.
For Dancehall to be such a small genre, from likkle Jamaica has the biggest impact internationally way before Afrobeats, what has happened is that Africa used to play Dancehall and Reggae alot in their continent, their artist mimicked Dancehall, and even are trying to talk patwa, which is now why we have what we have, name an artist other than Davido, Burna Boy, Stonebwoy, Wiz Kid, Shatta Wale, that came out during the time when Mavado and Kartel ah clash, they were none, Jamaica has a huge influence on the music, if I am wrong please name an artist from Africa that was out during Kartel and Mavado clash, the African artist I mentioned came out after the clash, big ups to Stonebwoy, Shatta Wale, and Davido who have shown Jamaica respect though, but for the rest of the Afro beat artists, what should happen is, in their interviews and so forth when asked who influenced them name the Jamaican artist, so light can be shined on them as well
@@ezeamalukwuechinonsovalent1319 No, if anything it's a stolen identity, Fela Kuti, was the first Afrobeat artist when you Google it, and the music for Afrobeat then was more Jazz, so now this Afrobeat, is definitely Dancehall influenced which if you don't acknowledge that's fine, but go look at the interview by Beenie Man with ZeZe Mills on his view of how Dancehall is being stolen, all that JA is asking is some damn acknowledgment, but instead because the white label owners and so forth that probably even in Africa, has to endure does not what Jamaica acknowledge in that way, why because JA we don't condone Battti Bwoy, and we express it inna we music, which white people do not like because of that, but to make them happy there will never be acknowledgement as to the influence
Ignorant... Nigerian Pidgin and other pidgins and creoles in Africa have existed longer than Jamaica has been a state. Second, just because you've just learned about Afrobeats doesn't mean that it's the only genre of music we have. Africa has been invisible to you outside of Africa, but we have many musicians and music genres here that you have zero idea about.
Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid, do not be discouraged for the Lord your. God will be with you wherever you go 🙏 JESUS CHRIST IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE ETERNAL 🙏/,,,,,,,,
I’m American and when I first heard afrobeats I thought it was dancehall. Dancehall music makes me move, afrobeats doesn’t have the same effect. I don’t like that africans are stealing Jamaicans style and nothing is being said
@Jay Jay I don’t think less of no race of people, I or no one else look to africa for inspiration, there’s nothing cool about Afro beats or nothing africans do. I’m American so trust and believe
Music is separated by us therefore we always have to define what/what we are in the space........even in Jamaica 🇯🇲 young /old reggae/dancehall....etc.....this is the same as the color problem of the world
only good thing about this volg they brg interview with artiste bt i hate they laid back reviews on certain topics .loll big up keep the interview n the freestyle which more artiste could come on
Jamaican Dancehall of old is still relevant and plays very much in North America but these new crop of so called Jamaican artists try to be North American too much. They have deviated from the true organic dancehall sound and that's why many are not crossing over into mainstream markets. Let's face it .Jamaica has a tiny population of 2.8 million plus maybe another 3 million in the diaspora. Nigeria alone has millions in their country, UK, and North America. Their music is more fun and than the wannabe trap from Jamaica. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Disagree if you listen 90s dancehall riddim they're not refined to modern dancehall just like how you have a smartphone now things evolved and get better I think you use to The 90s and American am not in the trap dancehall thing there is alot of dancehall have the Dancehall drum pattern that is dancehall and chronixx have an authentic dancehall song but you people not listening to it and talking about we not producing authentic dancehall we also have few of those am an artiste as well dancehall artiste check out.my song on TH-cam , N-HAANNCE , hold it out my channel , Afro beat reggaeton burrow from dancehall ,those days the 90s producer pump money in marketing not only good song's music control by corporate and it takes money,alot of american rnb singer using dancehall element riddim like tyshan knight check it out.on TH-cam Same dancehall field
@@killydon908 exactly! 90s beats where a recycle of the 80s (punnany riddim baseline used over and over again and others as well) plus afrobeats wont last forever..and they do the trap hip hop music in africa too..just that we dont pay it any mind here
Jamaica has a bigger US population than Nigeria. The Caribbeans in large have a bigger US population than Africans. Haitians and Jamaicans alone are like 2 million in the US. We have not even counted the UK. Spotify is not available in Africa. If you look at Davido, Wizkid, and Burna’s stats, european countries are streaming the music more on certain platforms. FRANCE especially consumes Afrobeats. France had their own genre which is more Francophone style music because the French speaking Africans immigranted there We have many different genres in Africa😂😂 Afrobeats is just one
Nigerians are not just in US only. They're everywhere. That's the most populous black nation in the world, so it's easier for their music (afrobeat) gain popularity in those countries.
Among other ignorance, you said, "Spotify is not available in Africa." I don't even know where to begin your education. You still live in the ignorance created by Western Media.
Everybody makes good music not everyone do good music business example CALL ME IF a 1 of the biggest Dancehall songs of the year but was the beat Dancehall or Afrobeat or Pop 😂 u may never kno
The problem with dancehall is that the ppl of Jamaica doesn't support the music they support the artiste... dem pick side whether ur an kartel fans or movado fans or alkaline.... who rate kartel nah go pree a alkaline song pon TH-cam so thats our biggest problem
That's the major problem .Another issue is how the music is recorded . Autotune has taken over and many of these artists cannot perform these songs live because of the pitch and key
Dancehall artist need to figure out ow to get the west indies involved coz a nuh one country inna africa a support afrobeat it's the entire continent of Africa
You can not unify a group of people with Jamaica who envy the cultural influences and feel as though its is being talked about too much on an international level. Those people in the Caribbean support Jamaican culture because it has been ingrained in theirs over time, thus becoming their culture as well, however they dont like Jamaicans nor want to give Jamaica their props. What Jamaica need to do is to take their credit from anyone who appropriate its culture while focusing on themselves. Back in the days, Dancehall was to entertain Jamaicans but it entertain people internationally. We need to stop growing our children to imitate Americans and realize that what we have is gold.
I don't agree with kranuim , if you don't promote yourself in a proffessional way you won't get results. You only get out what you put it or out. Go and look at the Song Prtojee and koffe did together Pure Class in Music content artistic content in video production that is the type of music to push forward
Firstly there are basic geographic issues in your comparisons. Maybe it's ignorance. Maybe it's intentional. There are 52 countries in Africa, each larger and more diverse than Jamaica. Lagos, a city in Nigeria has around 20 million people. The whole continent has 1 billion people. When you don't understand basic facts, you make silly comparisons.
If something isn’t broken don’t fix it 90s style dancehall was perfect all they had to do was add to it and make it better like how reggeaton 🇩🇴 and dembow did now tourist don’t like that young trap danchall sound now dancehall is loosing its popularity it’s more of Jamaican people only enjoying it now them producers messed it up
kranium has YET to solidify himself as a artist. and here we are.. basicly interview in him like he made it.. this is why ppl like the intense think they are #1.. he has no.. slogan...no chracter..smh. rip. REGGAE
Afro beat more energetic thats y ppl we listen to it world wide yuh zimi but inna dancehall only energetic artist mi see a ding dong cause ding dong song have vibes weh u cyaa dance to similar to afro beat
Y not?? Dance hall was the club and dance music..now all it is about guns scamming and killin...thats NOT FUN!! Wa happen to the dance music..unu make afro beat take the spot in reality dem wanna follow american music too dam bad..kmt..jus call it jamaican hiphop at dis point🤷🏾♂️
Dancehall is extremely slack. Jamaicans not using creativity. We are highly disrespected in Britain. Our culture is commercial and everyone imitates us even so call momma Africa talk 2 us in patios but call us dumb same time.
African countries have bigger population and that equals more fans more sales period same goes for latin countries more people more demand one or two songs may cross over

Reggaeton is literally Dancehall done in another language. What Jamaicans are upset about is that Afrobeat artists uses a lot of Jamaican culture and rebrand it as Afrobeat from Africa. This Affects brand Jamaica, and the Jamaican GDP that depends highly on its culture. Africa was before Jamaica, so its easy to appropriate Jamaica's culture vs Reggaeton who everyone can see is from Jamaica.
@@NativeNomad10 rebrand it as Afrobeat?? Only u and some ignorant dumbs few jamaicans think so,Are you crazy?? When Fela Kuti started the AFROBEAT MOVEMENT IN 70´S , the great Jamaicans people love afrobeat thats why Burna Boy sold out in his showhe did in kingston than other jamaicans artists, research more REGGAETON is mega bigger than dancehall, you can see the numbers in youtube they sold out stadium in USA and all south america, don´t try to compare, you must research before writing.
The problem isn't the music cause dancehall in a great place musically. The issue is nuff don't have the business acumen and a hustle the music. Good interview greybeard,, ari and javi
The problem is the music dancehall needs to turn back to the authentic 90s style with new future sound twist like how reggeaton and dembow did that’s what the world likes to hear not trap hall shit
Comparing the music industry of a little Island with the one of a whole continent is not relevant ,but as an cultural impact Dancehall had more superstars and Grammy artists than afrobeats plus it was and it is a huge influence for both afrobeat and reggaeton geners!
The only problem I see that dancehall has stopped in time there has been no innovation, and many artists preach a lot of violent messages, while afrobeats is only about joy, living life in peace, love between man and woman and happiness, that's the energy that the afrobeats style carries that is conquering the whole world, dancehall has to evolve, take the violence out of the lyrics, black against black violence, stop degrading our race, evolve and pass pure joy to the people.
Big up Kranium and the fix team!

I love kranium so much lol. He's realistic asf...
We Africans from the whole continent support you bro
Truth we always a try create division when it nuh needed....one industry
Reggae is The Biggest Music Genre of All Time I’m an African and stamp! This 💯
The best option is to repackage the Dancehall genre as Dancehall Afrobeats, and get more Africa views. The motherland will always win in the long run. Caribbean culture is accepted in Africa unlike AA’s.
Beautiful and Practical Suggestion 👌🏽
Your suggestion has my 100% support.
You can not rename something to what influenced it. What you need to do is to take credit for its influence even if they dont wan to give it
@@NativeNomad10 How would that benefit Jamaicans financially? The world is already purchasing Afrobeats.
Black people are rising to our true consciousness, after physical and spiritual bondage for disrespecting the most high but after the sufferation, things will be reveal to us. So now, we're walking in our path, acknowledging our beauty, look; "the pendulum has swung, Black is in fashion!" Hence the spark in our music again, look at Afro beats, look inna Dancehall music and that doesn't mean just Jamaica, look down inna Trinidad, and Tobago. Nothing like it has happened before, no, not like this. Look how Soca music transcended inna different gear and deserves to be recognized as its own genre. Nevertheless, Babylon fight that, but just look. We must not take this lightly, for our voices will be needed to sound the beautiful trumpet of Jah. We must look for the mass repatriation of all Africans near and far, back to the motherland. For when we see this, we will know that the return of the most high is near. Be not deceived, look not to the sky, but deep within one's self, there, you will find Jah. Africa awaits her children. Light and love my people. Love y'all. Doh she say mi nah tell yuh!
Love This Conversation!
Kranium is a smart yute ..... him direct the interview Weh him want it to go ......
Afrobeat artists more creative and fun with the music that's why the are more successful than dance hall artists too much screw face and badmind.

Afro beats is One of the brothers Dancehall music in terms of sampling Our music We are brothers
One main reason why labels aren't looking dancehall direction is the image most artist have these days, the bleaching image, big labels won't market their music/image to the larger platform/countries that is divided by color...alot of of jamaican artist will just stay local
It’s not about being local, Jamaica is a small country, keep making music for yourselves
@@yudahel8521 "keep making music for yourself" bwoy, chill, jamaican music is a worldwide things more than afrobeats, reggae music is extremely popular in Europe more than afro beats, Europe isn't just England, reggae is large in France, yes, reggae has broken language barriers, not to mention in South America..chill and humble yourself, the only problem is dancehall doesn't have a marketable image right now
@@yudahel8521 you know nothing about danchall do you realize we started reggeaton dembow Trinidad dancehall Japanese dancehall rap music and soca influence we created the world music
@Jay Jay I see what you're saying but if you understand the history of both then you wouldn't say that, they aren't similar but they are our music. Dancehall is actually popular just not worldwide as reggae.
@@javonwatkins6924 This is true
17:15 that’s a whole fact, it’s a really good spice over here bro.
Ghana is talking about us. Africa isn't talking about us, Europe is talking about us, America is talking about us,and now Carribean is talking about us, wow God will save Nigeria.
No fucking clarity in our music. The dialect is a struggle for mainstream. The biggest reggae/ dancehall records it's those that have good clarity. Afrobeats artist has great clarity.
It’s not that because Afrobeats artists don’t really speak English in their songs either. The sound is the problem and when Dancehall neglected the dancing space in the music in the late 2000s that’s when the genre started to fail
@@EjnrTV I'm telling you the clarity of the music plays a huge part. If you look at the biggest reggae and dancehall hits all of them has great clarity. I live in south jersey and I hear Chakka Demus and Pliers a million times on Z100 which is the biggest top 40 platform. It's because the melody is clear to the audience. Shaggy it wasn't me. Wayne Wonder No letting go. Go listen those tracks. That's what made Bob Marley stood out because his songs were 80 in english and not patois.
@@forevergooner4400 alright so explain how Afrobeats is getting through with no clarity. Most people don’t even know what they’re saying. Maybe only 30% of a big Afrobeats artist’s song has clear English. So how are they getting through?
@@EjnrTV Let's be real Afrobeats is NOT charting in the states like that. Maybe two songs from Davido. They do streaming number because that diaspora is fucking huge. But they aren't dominating the Hot 100 charts like Shaggy and them guys did.
@@forevergooner4400 True I noticed that after Vybz Kartel went Gold (RIAA) before Davido. took off the wool over my eyes.
Kranium bad artist we waiting for the hits 💯🔥🧃
afrobeat has more unity than dancehall and also its a whole continent supporting and streaming their music that is hard to compete with
Kranium when yuh want go inna ny when it cold 😂😂😂
Nothing wrong with comparison because when u get too relax u loose your drive what u guys need to do is look at the dancehall songs that cross over compare to these now one of the main problem is the content and the beat is another major problem the dancehall is a vibe music as u hear it u want to dance now a days it’s boring but apart from that there is no shortage of talent
There's 3 mil people in Jamaica.. 250 million in Nigeria alone. Not to mention the population in American and Europe. For Dancehall and Reggae to be as popular as it is it's pretty insane. Afrobeat and Reggaeton are just another Genre of Dancehall and Reggae. Jamaica is the mother and father.
Jamaica has so many more popular artist than the whole of Afrobeat. It's not even close.
Jamaican culture/music is African culture/ music. Without AFRICANS brought to the islands, there's NO dancehall or raggae, or Jamaican culture PERIOD!!
Bro what are you even saying. Jamaica population is like 5% of Nigeria population n u think they have more musicians? Have you ever been to Africa? Jamaica people were taken away from Africa n u called them mother and father? Do u know music originated in Africa? We love Jamaica people but please don't call them father, where you find anything Africa.
Comments like this make me laugh 🤣
@@Music-yq8qc Jamaica culture is Jamaica culture and Jamaica isnt just made up of African Descendants. Also, culture brought from Africa has long evolved or stripped away

@@kenalimele5283 No, you should educate yourself. I wouldnt say steal but the current Afrobeat is nothing like past Afrobeat and is comprised highly of Dancehall elements mixed with hip hop, and even India
This interview was a very good interview
Anybody can see and hear a similarity with a few Afrobeat Artist style while some using a choice of words in their songs that are influenced from Dancehall.It’s just their target are easily capture b/c of the similarities that was already established,in their regions and now they can make it their own through younger generations.it the same like Reggaeton. We just need to acknowledge that dancehall culture in music influenced alot of new culture of of music and don’t fight.
@Jay Jay dancehall artist already done That! Dancehall artist are more under scrutiny b/c of the risk takes to challege,politucal views,social injustice, inequalities and through their controversial lyric, that's more often than many new artist than you should try to compare to ,and you not seeing that proved my point for you not to appreciate the challenge and gift to the world Dancehall brings!
@Jay Jay I guess you don't know the poor ppl General of Dancehall is and his songs are one of the reason why hasn't gotten his visa as of yet! And this proves again you don't appreciate Dancehall... yet you thought i don't know if I'm talking about Reggae Artist... If you think I'm naive of what I'm talking about why reply back! And for that reason,this is my last reply, don't like your arrogance!
@Jay Jay ok! i see your point,which i may agree also.stay true and safe! It's a big struggle!
@@skbosdgame8435 You are wrong.The Afrobeats sound has been in Africa even before Dancehall.It’s just that the world didn’t know about it.
Just because Wizkid, Burna boy etc have dancehall sound doesn’t make Afrobeat dancehall
Kranium ft Stone boy I think would be a good collaboration
Thank fuck, now i pray everything said sticks with them
Kranium made me subscribe no jokes rate him energy
So what’s the purpose of the ball head one. She just sits there 😕
If dancehall doesn't evolve, it's going to be thrown in the rubbish bin, but it represents the degradation of the mind of the youths. These are dark days and we need love to bring hope.
For Dancehall to be such a small genre, from likkle Jamaica has the biggest impact internationally way before Afrobeats, what has happened is that Africa used to play Dancehall and Reggae alot in their continent, their artist mimicked Dancehall, and even are trying to talk patwa, which is now why we have what we have, name an artist other than Davido, Burna Boy, Stonebwoy, Wiz Kid, Shatta Wale, that came out during the time when Mavado and Kartel ah clash, they were none, Jamaica has a huge influence on the music, if I am wrong please name an artist from Africa that was out during Kartel and Mavado clash, the African artist I mentioned came out after the clash, big ups to Stonebwoy, Shatta Wale, and Davido who have shown Jamaica respect though, but for the rest of the Afro beat artists, what should happen is, in their interviews and so forth when asked who influenced them name the Jamaican artist, so light can be shined on them as well
You're living in the past. The real deal is that Africa which is your biggest consumer have moved on. We have our identity now and we're pushing it.
@@ezeamalukwuechinonsovalent1319 No, if anything it's a stolen identity, Fela Kuti, was the first Afrobeat artist when you Google it, and the music for Afrobeat then was more Jazz, so now this Afrobeat, is definitely Dancehall influenced which if you don't acknowledge that's fine, but go look at the interview by Beenie Man with ZeZe Mills on his view of how Dancehall is being stolen, all that JA is asking is some damn acknowledgment, but instead because the white label owners and so forth that probably even in Africa, has to endure does not what Jamaica acknowledge in that way, why because JA we don't condone Battti Bwoy, and we express it inna we music, which white people do not like because of that, but to make them happy there will never be acknowledgement as to the influence
@@ezeamalukwuechinonsovalent1319 and by the way the Europe, and China are consumers of Dancehall as well
@@mrgogetit2085 sure they are. Let's everyone grow. There is enough space.
Ignorant... Nigerian Pidgin and other pidgins and creoles in Africa have existed longer than Jamaica has been a state.
Second, just because you've just learned about Afrobeats doesn't mean that it's the only genre of music we have. Africa has been invisible to you outside of Africa, but we have many musicians and music genres here that you have zero idea about.

Can y’all interview Afrobeat artists so we can understand their perspective on music and dancehall impact on Africa

Its using more of Jamaican culture each day to stay relevant, it will soon be completely Dancehall
Jamaican Dancehall of old is still relevant and plays very much in North America but these new crop of so called Jamaican artists try to be North American too much. They have deviated from the true organic dancehall sound and that's why many are not crossing over into mainstream markets. Let's face it .Jamaica has a tiny population of 2.8 million plus maybe another 3 million in the diaspora. Nigeria alone has millions in their country, UK, and North America. Their music is more fun and than the wannabe trap from Jamaica. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Is any genre at all the same as it was back in the days??? Hip hop? Pop? RNB??? 🤷♂️
Hi Jessica you related to gareth the artist from portmore via ny
Disagree if you listen 90s dancehall riddim they're not refined to modern dancehall just like how you have a smartphone now things evolved and get better I think you use to The 90s and American am not in the trap dancehall thing there is alot of dancehall have the Dancehall drum pattern that is dancehall and chronixx have an authentic dancehall song but you people not listening to it and talking about we not producing authentic dancehall we also have few of those am an artiste as well dancehall artiste check out.my song on TH-cam , N-HAANNCE , hold it out my channel , Afro beat reggaeton burrow from dancehall ,those days the 90s producer pump money in marketing not only good song's music control by corporate and it takes money,alot of american rnb singer using dancehall element riddim like tyshan knight check it out.on TH-cam Same dancehall field
@@killydon908 exactly! 90s beats where a recycle of the 80s (punnany riddim baseline used over and over again and others as well) plus afrobeats wont last forever..and they do the trap hip hop music in africa too..just that we dont pay it any mind here
@Mr. Lex because dave kelly is coming from the school of jammys and donovan germaine
Jamaica has a bigger US population than Nigeria. The Caribbeans in large have a bigger US population than Africans. Haitians and Jamaicans alone are like 2 million in the US. We have not even counted the UK.
Spotify is not available in Africa. If you look at Davido, Wizkid, and Burna’s stats, european countries are streaming the music more on certain platforms. FRANCE especially consumes Afrobeats. France had their own genre which is more Francophone style music because the French speaking Africans immigranted there
We have many different genres in Africa😂😂 Afrobeats is just one
@Mr. Lex the most Nigerians in America is in Houston and it’s a half a mil.
@@yudahel8521 there are 500,000 nigerians in the US.....that’s the largest African population in the US. There are 1 million Jamaicans in the US...
Nigerians are not just in US only. They're everywhere. That's the most populous black nation in the world, so it's easier for their music (afrobeat) gain popularity in those countries.
Among other ignorance, you said, "Spotify is not available in Africa." I don't even know where to begin your education. You still live in the ignorance created by Western Media.
Real talk artist 🔥
Glad Kranium corrrect Ari. 90s n 2000s danceh-all??? Hot like fire
Am here for javi laugh lol
Everybody makes good music not everyone do good music business example CALL ME IF a 1 of the biggest Dancehall songs of the year but was the beat Dancehall or Afrobeat or Pop 😂 u may never kno
Everyone is making fusion music. They’re all mixing genres in their riddims
its a cross between afro-pop and dancehall. flutes are unmatch
Dexta ah bowcat u voice wid dem man g
Rate him positivity!
We are the forerunner in the music world and no matter what comes after we are still relevant in the contributions.
The problem with dancehall is that the ppl of Jamaica doesn't support the music they support the artiste... dem pick side whether ur an kartel fans or movado fans or alkaline.... who rate kartel nah go pree a alkaline song pon TH-cam so thats our biggest problem
That's the major problem .Another issue is how the music is recorded . Autotune has taken over and many of these artists cannot perform these songs live because of the pitch and key
Legend
Africa is way too big to be compared to Jamaica. Remember we are on people
Dancehall artist need to figure out ow to get the west indies involved coz a nuh one country inna africa a support afrobeat it's the entire continent of Africa
I stated this in my comment that unity is needed
You can not unify a group of people with Jamaica who envy the cultural influences and feel as though its is being talked about too much on an international level. Those people in the Caribbean support Jamaican culture because it has been ingrained in theirs over time, thus becoming their culture as well, however they dont like Jamaicans nor want to give Jamaica their props. What Jamaica need to do is to take their credit from anyone who appropriate its culture while focusing on themselves. Back in the days, Dancehall was to entertain Jamaicans but it entertain people internationally. We need to stop growing our children to imitate Americans and realize that what we have is gold.
I don't agree with kranuim , if you don't promote yourself in a proffessional way you won't get results.
You only get out what you put it or out.
Go and look at the Song Prtojee and koffe did together Pure Class in Music content artistic content in video production that is the type of music to push forward
Firstly there are basic geographic issues in your comparisons. Maybe it's ignorance. Maybe it's intentional. There are 52 countries in Africa, each larger and more diverse than Jamaica. Lagos, a city in Nigeria has around 20 million people. The whole continent has 1 billion people. When you don't understand basic facts, you make silly comparisons.
Solid interview

Dancehall is extremely slack. Jamaicans not using creativity. We are highly disrespected in Britain. Our culture is commercial and everyone imitates us even so call momma Africa talk 2 us in patios but call us dumb same time.
Patois originates from WEST AFRICA. Patois has AFRICAN LANGUAGES IN IT. You can't copy someone you gave birth too.
African countries have bigger population and that equals more fans more sales period same goes for latin countries more people more demand one or two songs may cross over
Whether dem have more population or not, the fact still remains that they are currently doing better music
