There are more hispanic people who enjoy Hispanic music then there are black people who enjoy carribean music.

reggae/dancehall is still amazingly popular around the world, especially in the UK. But out here its more niche compared to reggaetong

Why would "producing a star in the states" matter in Reggae, which is from Jamaica?
because the money is in america. I remember when Kartel put out an album at the height of his career way before he went to jail and it sold 8 copies He was the hottest thing in Dancehall then and now and sold 8 copies damn near had sold out shows in the states though.

Reggaeton had a crazy run from lile 2013-2023. Kinda fell off last few years tho. They just riding off the bad bunny stan base at this point.
They pushed it too hard to FBA people I remember back in the day power 105 had a all reggaeton show and my girlfriend at the time got mad.

I´m from new York and PanAfrican but the average Black American don´t know and don´t care about no Bad Bunny. Akademiks just looked up Burna Boy´s tour sales and there was a ton of empty seats

They tried to force that shyt into the either like the Latin explosion with Ricky Martin he had a little run and he was done.

The Reggaeton nikkas do well in their markets it´s kinda fukked up that Reggae doesn´t capitalize but then again everytime someone crosses over they usually lose support in Jamaica. I didn´t know that Sean Paul who was never that big in Jamaica is doing spanish Reggae now not really Reggaeton but basically spanish reggae.

Afro beats killed reggae/dancehall
It´s sorta like how drill had a run. Dancehall needed Afrobeats to get them off the super marrow will fly into the sky period.

What they mean is they would shoot someone to the point that the marrow would come off their bones, even the drill rappers wouldn´t get that cartonny violent.

Outside of the roughest hoods no one wants to hear about someone shooting dog and kitty shooting a baby off mama titty also a real dancehall lyric.

You know how old this song is. i remember hearing this song in the club in DC when I was going to Jamaica the next day.

Needless to say I never heard in Jamaica. When I touched down this was kinda old but still rocking
