Has Afrobeat Overtaken Reggae/Dancehall in Global Popularity?

Don't forget Aunty Teni

Man she so fire !!!

I will say dancehall riddims from the 90's to mid 2000's sound like epics compared to the watered down fukkry they're calling riddims now.

I know mentioning his name is probably akin to mentioning Drake but it sound like Sean Paul had pretty complex rhythms, no?

Ha, Sean Paul had his run he still pops up once n awhile

This Riddim right here kills the bashment


Someone took some afrobeats hints


I listen to Burna Boy and Wizkid

Dancehall is pure fukkery and nonsense how many times can you tell me that the pumpum is tight .. ok we get it the pumpum tight

Samthing Soweto and Kiss Daniel has been added to the playlist

Naira Marley is one of the hottest Street Artists in Nigeria right now. He has a culture like following of fans with unruly behaviour, similar to Chief Keef at his peak. Not sure if he has the international appeal of Burna, Davido and Wizkid

this is slowlgetting vulgar

Whomever says Afrobeats hasn't gotten dancehall out the paint is lying to themselves. A few months back my students went NUTS when we played Burna Boy at a show. They went insane. I'm talking African, Latino, West Indian, Asian...I just stood there stunned

It's some reggae dance hall old heads in here that are in denial for sure

 

[MajesticLion]

afrobeats you play at the family function

dancehall you play in the basement party when all the children & elderly folk have gone to sleep

ha

I want to agree with you...but then I realize a buncha people reading this thread were probably conceived to Needle Eye Pum Pum or some other Shabba tune. It's not like the older heads don't have their slackness built in.



Balance in all things.

Flames

 

[Premeditated]

no

not in America or the western hemisphere besides Colombia. It's probably more popular in England though. I notice in the UK there seems to be alot of dancehall/afrobeat collabs like that "don't rush" song from that viral challenge

 

[Ugo Ogugwa]

I lied. This song makes me feel like I'm at a rooftop party in all white in Victoria Island overlooking the water with a nice breeze

 

[Guizmo]

Zlatan

Burna Boy
