anyone else not really feelin afrobeats like that?

[GrindtooFilthy]

Recommend me some

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

Not a big fan.

I prefer congolese music, RnB and zouk.

The BEST MUSIC from Africa. Ndombolo, Soukous, Rhumba. The best African Music was released between the 70's and early 2000's sonically.

The real Afrobeat sound is from Fela Kuti.

The problem with Afrobeats is that it lacks any acoustic instrumentation nor has any proper basslines to keep a person's ear engaged. Most of it's just looped beats.

Don't forget Seben, brehs. Too bad, Fally and Ferre are playing games.

I'm Nigerian and personally I prefer Amapiano (South African House) to Afrobeats.

I can see why people like the Afrobeats though compared to that stuff though. Afrobeats is more dancefloor friendly and radio friendly. With more potential for crossover success. Also the kids do the dance challenges on TikTok and IG.

Amapiano is still House and outside of certain audiences, it's still niche cause it's house.

Yeah I was expecting it to sound like Fela Kuti, i.e. funkier.

why is everything mid to slow tempo now? I vape weed every day but I can't listen to slow, "wavy/vibey" lethargic ass music all day. I even fukk with ambient/drone music but sometimes I wanna tap my feet and groove to something. At least Amapiano has more of a deep house influence.

Where's the groove? Where's the FUNK? Where's the musicality? wheres the music for black people to dance too fr fr? where are the fukking BASS LINES? It's like the only dance music we can make now is house music, and i fukk with house. But if you listened to modern black music, you would think funk music never existed. And it's arguably the blackest genre of music we ever invented.

Black Americans need to bring back boogie music like the stuff from 1978-1982. It's mostly electronic so it doesn't sound too old-timey. It's groovy and you can dance to it, you can water it down a bit and make it more poppy, the subject matter is fun and harmless.

The success of Steve Lacy's Bad Habit show the audience is hungry for actual MUSIC, and bad habit wasn't even groovy like that.

There’s not a black music genre I don’t like.

 

[Budda]

Im not surprised many on here don’t like Arobeats on here don’t because many of you don’t really interact with women, if it isn’t Wu-Tang you can’t vibe to it

Musically Afrobeats is on a different level to Reggaeton it’s almost an insult.

 

[Dont@Me]

Of course you couldnt feel it, you wouldnt know how..When was the last time you actually danced..actually moved your fat ass on a dancefloor


The US scene sadly became anti-dancing ever since the hardcore hiphop baggy jean era, until today..now you feel like a clown if you even dance.

Music was better when you could actually move to it. The era's when Black people were dancing had the best music.

Wtf?? You don't even fukkin know me or what I do

Don't forget Seben, brehs. Too bad, Fally and Ferre are playing games.

Fally Ipupa is the best thing to come from Congo because ever since Coupe Decale came out in 2004, Congolese Music has lost its power.

From the Ndombolo era

 

[Buddy]

No It’s just The style presented to the American audience a good chunk have a strong baseline you just won’t know because all the good stuff is usually kept in house

Those are all considered Afrobeats?

 

[Fanservice]

Too much talking, not enough actual singing. The songs don’t really build either. The first 30 seconds sounds exactly like the last 30 seconds.

It’s “overly-consistent”, but rarely offensive. I guess that’s why people like it. You can throw on an afrobeats playlist without having to skip any songs because they all kinda run together.

 

[DreadBrown]

Most dancehall is dark like cemetery at midnight

Intence reach tlr lord god look yah now

 

[Budda]

I fail to see how a black person can listen to this and not think it’s good music, it may be longue music but so it’s a lot of Rnb, the shyt is so smooth, and Made in Lagos is one of the best albums ive heard in the last 10 years.

 

[Budda]

not a single bad song

 

[DreadBrown]

This thread is so ignorant btw

 

[Ahadi]

Interesting thread lol

Either old and out of touch, or wrong environments
