Afrobeats is the last genre of music made by black people for black people

[JA_Carter]

I have been to a bunch of afrobeats concerts this year and damn near 99% of the crowd were black.

Unlike rap concerts, you don’t have to worry about a majority white audience saying nikka and rapping along to black genocidal music. 95% of afrobeats is just good positive vibes.

Some recent bangers below, do y’all agree?

In due time, the Jevvish music moguls will inflitrate it, control it and then degrade it...just as they did with all other black music genres.

Anyone who has watched tiktok for any length of time would realize white people are obsessed with that too. Thing is, they have no idea what they’re doing it’s completely foreign to them. They’re mostly doing it for clout

That’s why I’m glad they don’t understand the lyrics or get the culture. They can’t infiltrate what they dont understand. Afrobeats songs are mostly in pidgin or african languages

yes, its true for now. Your only hope, @Ian_Carter is that drake doesnt do an Afrobeat album like he did for dril.

Ironcally, the embrace of a US black artist of Afrobeats will be its downfall.

The kids today should learn from past mistakes and be wiser than previous generations and weary of cacs and their money

Our friendly azzes will allow other races in on this, we'll support them. Before we know it, it'll be theirs.

Ya’ll said the same shyt about rap for the past twenty years and it’s still associated with black people for better or for worse

Weirdo ass nikkas on this bytch

We could be listening and recomending one another different artists and what not

But once again that victimhood mentality got a strangle on you nikkas mental over the one thing that brings us black and african folk together

 

[StretfordRed]

It’s not as if afrobeat is a new or recent genre, though.

 

[Buddy]

I think Amapiano is more recent but I've wondered if what happened to our genres could happen with Afrobeats

 

[F*ckthemkids]

Wasn’t Justin Bieber on essence?

At my job I work with this one news reporter. She appears on TV every day. Born in Ireland. has a THICK native accident. In her 30s. Dirty blonde hair. In fact classically trained in an instrument. She looks, speaks, dresses and behaves exactly like a white news lady with a British accent.

This chick goes to Afrobeat spots and shows in Brooklyn all the time, rocks $400 Ars Technicas DJ headphones when she at her desk, and smoke weed on all her breaks.

 

[Nkrumah Was Right]

No - Gqom music and other music genres in black regions of the world exist.
