Yet a reggae star just won a Grammy 
The negativity is brought on when our music(developed primarily by straight aados men), community, and culture is disrespected, ridiculed, and critiqued endlessly by outsiders as uncouth, ghetto, misogninistic, homophobic, violent, mindless, stupid or w/e, and then to add insult to injury when these same outsiders then do a 180 and hop on the wave, start copying it, or trying to profit off of it in some way. This has been happening since the time of blues and jazz(earlier if you really want to get down to it) at the hands of racist whites and their children who appropriate our music.
Lol, so which is it non AADOS mock your music or enjoy it.
Just like you saying that modern aados music sucks when your people are STILL copying our modern trends while we don't even care about yours. Notice I never said AB or DH "sucks", because it's all objective. All I said is they will never be a staple among aados. But, when we remind you of how influential we are and you aren't y'all wanna play the victim and stay we're "chest thumping" and being bullies.
You keep saying this, like I care.
We know how jealous and insecure you non-ados are of our clout, impact, and influence, and how much you resent us because you don't have it. It's hard for us to just ignore that and act like things are all peachy with us
.
You know my community better than me now, clown? Come to the Nawfside of the H. I'll meet you on homestead. And you tell me where nikkas is jammin out to some damn AB.
Seriously, why, do you lil immigrant cats on here always try hard to act like y'all got some kinda clout or say in my culture or community like y'all really out there in the mix when ya'll be the same ones crying about supposedly getting bullied by aados school kids, knowing damn well y'all stayed far away from us "ghetto urban blacks" like you parents told you to?
Afrobeats isn't trying to replace any genre of music, its only trying to carve its own space. I don't understand this either or attitude.
Ok
Stop arguing with this fool it's clear he has complex and cant get himself to admit it. I keep reading his post and I'm like whose he trying to lie to us or HIMSELF
You can always tell on this board who acutally goes outside and whose a shut in that doesn't have a social life. These posts keep proving it

nikka fukk up outta here
1. Houston isn't representative of the whole America. You still have MIA, ATL, NYC, LA, DMV, PHL who the fukk you think you are corleon
2. I was just kickin it in alief, the aa community there has definitely been put on to afrobeats since the African community runs adjacent to them especially to these kids under 21, nikka even people like BEATKING have made a joke about how they might start doing afrobeats instead of trap, that should tell you something
again you keep proving you don't go outside and actually mingle with folks
to bolded im from Boston where black people of all ilk kick it with each other, you basement dwellers are some real weirdos

you clearly have some unresolved issues that is way beyond music. AADOS will never like afrobeat....thats alright. African artists stil make bank either way and still have their own people who enjoy their music.
Tropical music?
You know that sounds like "jungle music?" What bourgeois circles use to refer to Hip Hop and R&B....
@Ya?
1. They mock(just like you) first then appropriate. Same pattern of behavior as racist whites.
2. You're the one who responded to me first. So, clearly you do.
3. There was passive aggressive shade being thrown at aados, hip hop, and culture before I came in here. Again, but when we respond y'all wanna play the victim as usual.

I'll definitely check out some Afrobeat. I need to expand on that genre of music.
Under all seriousness. Dem fellas been listening to reggae/dancehall, calypso/soca, zouk, kompa, the whole nine, for decades, and they've been learning and incorporating all kinda good vibes into their own artforms. It's a beautiful thing to see, really. Everything really is connected.
I wasn't coming at you in a disrespectful manner. You came in here foaming from the mouth. Talking about foreigners (black immigrants) mocking AADOS music, like where.
Then you turn around and say more AADOS like KPOP music than Afrobeat. But you are being condescending and claim that Afrobeat artist are imitating black music but you have more respect for KPOP than other black genres of music. So Koreans are more respectful of AADOS. Like at this point you are just trying to be petty.
Like I said, if not a single AADOS ever listen to Afrobeat music, its not going to change a single thing for me or any other person who grew up enjoying the music.
AADOS is what 40 Million people and there are over 1 billion black people worldwide, I respect the AADOS musical footprint as it cannot be denied but AADOS is not the beginning nor the end of black musical art.
