Afrobeat all sounds the same to me?

[Duke Wy Lin]

My cousins boy wani, he apparently went to uni with him in Chicago.

That's the breh on the chorus? shyt slaps

 

[The Fade]

Check out afro-drill or funk drill.

Man they doing something crazy with that sound

I like house so i fukk with South African house heavy. They carrying the torch. And South African jazz for that matter

Yep that’s him, he has mad potential go check out his latest album. Lagos city vice 2

Ohh yeah South Africans and housy jazz music is like pbj. They’ve evolved their sound so much from afro-house to gqom to amapiano. I don’t doubt they’ll come out with another sound within the next 3-5 yrs

 

[Buddy]

Wait what? I actually know more afrobeats songs without autotune than with it

I haven't listened to it heavy breh

 

[Apprentice]

The fact nikkas in here said with chest that all afrobeats sound the same is laughable. Please tell me if any of these songs sound alike. Mfers ears are broken or they have bad tastes probably a combo of the 2

Lol nikkas on this site are dusty and listen to 2000s rap as if it’s 2002 still who give a fukk wat they think

It def all sounds similar. Not the same tho. Reggaeton>>>

When the mamis moving they hips to bad bunny or anuel

Reggaeton..

the same beat for everything. ... DUN, duh dun dun, DUN, duh dun dun, DUN

 

[the bossman]

Listening to afrobeats reminds me of the times I was dragged to family functions as a kid listening to the same two CDs on loop throughout the night

That Charlotte Mbango on repeat

 

[kaldurahm]

Amapiano>>>

South Africans combining African rhythms with house music brings a more distinct sounds to the genre.

Now people have unsophisticated ears?

The music is unsophisticated and it does sound the same, that’s apart of the reason it has taken off.

Oh gosh look at this African hating clown saying some negstive shyt. Surprising

You must dine on salt exclusively.

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

? bounty killer sounds like gregory isaacs to you?

That's another one of them I don't like African dudes. They always got opinions inspired by their hatred of us. That dude you are talking to does not even consider Black people one race. All their politics bias had corrupted their viewpoints on everything else in life.

I don’t hate Africans, I’m black fool. Get out of your p*ssy, I can have an opinion. Why are you so self-conscious about your culture folk? You didn’t see my first post saying that I like the music on the first page? You just focus and feed on negativity though…

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

This is 100% the genre that sounds the same more than Afrobeats or Dancehall.

Especially if we are talking about repetitive drum patterns

The fact that you gotta point that out is sad. Like anyone with ears should know reggaeton is damn near all one riddim.

I see how a lot of you dudes that oppose immigrants move with your bias intact in other threads. I'm not blind. It's not a coincidence who the people are in here trying to shade the genre.

I can't tell the difference between a good afrobeat song and a bad one.

What makes Wizkid and Burnaboy special? Vocals? Lyrics? or am i looking at this through a Hip Hop lense?

Me too. shyts legit all sound the same

If you can't see how this is fire I don't know what to tell you.

But to answer your question, you can listen to some afrobeat with a similar ear that you would listen to a Young Thug singing track.

 

[CrimsonTider]

I thought they made it a point to all sound the same
