Although Buju Banton believes he has Nigerian heritage which he traces to the Igbo ethnic group, however, his views about Afrobeat is totally wrong and may have emanated from his subconscious envy and jealousy towards a new genre which kinda took off some shine away from his own Reggae and Dancehall genre which he represents. Now this is not me tryna shade his genre because I've lived thru that genre and still uphold them in high esteem and totally believe Afrobeat, Dancehall and Reggae as well as Hip hop and other genres of music can all exist in the same time sphere. The music world is big enough to accommodate all types of musical 🎼 🎶 genres to help uplift and serenade our minds in this tough world we live in.
Not really.... he believes Afrobeats should be a consciousness awakening sound not just the feel good thing. The history of Nigeria music has always been about nationalism, social justice and cultural values so if the capacity to inspire as we see in this present genre, Buju wouldn't be too far from the truth
@susanakande1464 What are you on about ??. Do you even know about the criticism hip hop music faced during its early formative years. Do you know how badly criticised was the so called Reggae genre when it slowly began hitting the international arena outside Jamaica in the 70s. Every music genre goes through these silly adversities in the form of resistance by other artists from other existing genres or even executives of these other rival genres. They are always gonna pick trivials such as lyrics, beats or even petty stuff as an artist swag to critic. Afrobeat embodies everything Buju talks about, but his mind is too far deep in envy to accept this new reality. Afrobeat has everything. What I find dumb is African people agreeing with any nonsensical view point thrown out there by just about any body on what Afrobeat lacks or must add to be validated.
Asking why Nigerians are so good in Afrobeat is like asking why are cameroonian so good in Makosa.... You should have asked why are Nigerians good in music 🎶
@@koladeaderemi6614 Thanks for your observation. This is just some little evidence from Google Makossa music originated in Douala, Cameroon in the 1950s. It's a type of Cameroonian pop music that's built on: Congolese rumba, Funky electric bass guitar, and A brass section. The term "makossa" comes from the Douala word for "dance". Makossa is performed in French, Duala, and Cameroonian Pidgin. Makossa's popularity grew in the 1960s and became the most popular genre in Cameroon.
Unfortunately, most of our youths are veering off Afrobeat, and making nonsensical FUSION of Amapiano, Dancehall, R&B and Trap music. This is how Jamaicans lost their hold on Dancehall. Jamaicans started making Trap-Dancehall, and Latinos seized upon the original beat, and called it Reggaeton.
I love your style of presentation…I totally agree with your submissions….You definitely did your research before your presentation…Buju is just jealous of Afrobeat artistes because of their global influence…He’s jealous of Afrobeat dominance, so he’s trying to drag down Afrobeat music….
*Above all, quality product sells itself.* However, you missed a crucial reason for the dominance of Nigeria's Afrobeat. I am glad our secret is safe. Ghana has been trying to figure it out. They said, population, then wealth, poverty, government, stream farms, Nigerians abroad, and 80/20 law that excludes foreign music. Ghana even acted on the lie that Nigeria excludes foreign music. They tried to exclude Nigeria's music from Ghana, and ended up excluding their own artistes from international scene for the first half of 2024. For a fee of $10,000, I offered to introduce Ghana to the fearsome *JUJU* man in my village who is behind Nigeria's success. Before I will introduce Ghana to our JUJU man, I requested Ghana to explore: Talent, Creativity, and Relentless Hard Work.
Buju is totally wrong. Just ask him what has his style brought to Jamaica let alone Africa. We have been through alot as a people and afrobeat relaxed our minds. Fela has spoken yet nothing has changed.
So very well said!! Buju Banter is just jealous! He can't believe the dynamics of music that had changed since he was incarcerated in prison! 👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬!!

@@heads7982 Wow Indepth submission. Thanks so much for your time
Ecactly

Nice one . That's a good idea for another video. Thank you for your time

@@koladeaderemi6614 before you responded you would have e taken the time to even check google....

Nice one, we must keep all eyes on the ball. Thanks so much for your comment
Very Very Wrong... Reggaeton is just a different fusion.. The real issues blacks have very little control of our music.. we create everything
U left out the most important aspect of all, which is that Nigerians gave birth to Afrobeats
Definitely belongs to Naija. Thanks so much

Uwc. Great concept u got going on by the way
