Is It Me Or Has Reggae Fallen Off A Cliff Popularity Wise Since The Rise Of Reggaeton?

When’s the last time Reggae produced a star in The States?

It was a factory line once Dancehall hit. Some bigger than others but they all made big enough noise

Shabba
Patra
Mad Cobra
Buju
Supercat
Mad Lion
Beenie Man
Elephant Man
Sean Paul…

Aside from Damien Marley it’s been crickets for like 20 plus years…Oddly enough that’s around the time Daddy Yankee hit state side. Sure his momentum didn’t carry into others immediately but now them nikkax have a strangle hold

Coincidence?

Nah breh. Reggaeton hasn’t done a thing. And the 20 year thing is a stretch. Bounty, Vybz, Aidonia, Buju, Shenseea, Macka, Spice, etc all popped within that period.

Reggae =/= dancehall. Anyway, yes, dancehall isn't as popular as it was internationally 20 years ago.

Dancehall really fell off. I can’t even name a classic dancehall song/ride in that came out after 07.

Back in the 90’s and early 2000’s, it was the shít.

More latin countries pretty much drowned out other styles but still won’t admit reggaes influence..


Or do they?
