Afrobeats has better artists than reggae dancehall says music exec Murray Elias

[3rdWorld]

Afrobeats has great melodies..

But, no genre can compare with 90s and 2000s dancehall. None.

One riddim would have a strong culture song, a good gun song, a lovers song, that was diversity. Sometimes even from the same artist. Also, some live instrumentation is needed on some of these rhythms. They should also learn how to censor themselves a bit. In the early 2000s, the videos could be played, now, not so much. For instance look at this

This is a hit by any metric good beat flow etc, but look at the video, his choice of words, which station is going to market this? And how?

100%..
They have Rasta and Roots artistes that focus solely on conscious music, Rasta's that do the same but also buss guns at gays and the UK govt etc..gangstas and such that primarily make gun and war tunes..they arent in a situation where only gangsters and such low lifes are the only ones recording. They can coexist and conscious reggae artists are not discarded or made to feel like theyre ''preaching'' and everything has to be naked and slack.
Thats why American music is dead to be honest. Everyone was forced to fill an image that White society aleady had so everyone became a thug or hoe on wax.

smh facts, the music is way too vulgar. They don't even bother with metaphors and innuendo anymore.

just like how Reggaeton had better artists too.

Fads will fade, the original will remain.

Afrobeats isn’t a fad only the term in America
