Bieber is a popstar

Afro Beats is what's popping right now

So Justin Bieber is hopping on the AfroBeat Train just like Drake did

He hopped on church songs when Ye was doing Sunday Service

He's even dressing like Bad Bunny with the glasses too.
Bad Bunny is bigger than all both Drake and Bieber combined.

Drake is still on afrobeat time but trying to shift to House(Honestly whatever) which is not popping here yet

Some of y'all dont get it

It's not about people using different things from other cultures

It's about taking from other cultures and monopolizing it to the point that that you're the face of it instead of the actual inventors

Then history rewrites the face of those things from that culture

i.e. Elvis Presley and Beatles for rock, Sam Smith for R&B, Adele for pretty much any soulful black woman song etc

i hear you.

but i dont understand the highlighted everyone knows elvis is not the great rock n roll guy or the face he was just a handsome entertainer loved by whites same goes for the beatles.

it was black media suspect black media pushing adele and sam smith and JT and supported Britney and etc, i dont know if you can call them the face when everyone is aware of B,alicia, lauryn, yet alone Diana, Aretha and them, etc.

anyway with these modern day search tools, documentaries, presentations, across all mediums people are aware of the originators.

so history cant rewrite shyt! not anymore.

who bought the KRS-one's new joint or even bought some Melle Mel old joints? ... its just a cold world and business.

It’s funny that house is popping in SOuth Africa but not here considering it’s an Black American genre. I’m glad it’s coming back either way rap music has become to degenerate to be sustainable their are barely any dance tunes coming out.

Ed Sheeran been on Drill and Grime beats too..but he actually nice with it.

I saw that Take Me Back to London live video with Stormzy and he flowed over it nice, had good crowd control


American RnB has to stop doing those dark moody trap beats.. Get back to swaggering syncopated dance shyt. That passive aggressive, brooding, "I'm trying to argue" music is trash

Also Black Americans got to understand we gotta different background with our music than the Africans and Islanders do. Cacs straight up raped our music and did our musicians dirty. It was not an honor in anyway, and they were not "bringing awareness to our culture", they straight up tried to take us out of our music, no flattery. The ridiculed us and called us devils for it, and then they stole it for themselves. We should stop imposing what we went through on our counterparts and let them go through it on their own.

The only connection we got with afro-beats is that we showed Fela Kuti the way

It's just weird to have an ethnic culture has something unique and interesting

Then white people see it and do their own version of it and become the top of the charts for it

Like Starbucks and Chipotle.

We know Spanish people came up with good coffee and food but u can't tell me they don't feel someway watching white people copycat and fly to the moon with the shyt

It's odd for a culture to not pop but when a white person puts the corporate hat on and give it that stimulus package all of a sudden it's breaking bank on the stock exchange

Then everyone tells the inventors "well what do u care? we know u guys make good coffee, theirs is just better"

Yeah but most Americans think House is a Europe genre with the techno aspect

I like House too

That’s exactly why us FBA/ADOS are telling y’all to beware of these cacs :hubie:
We gotta stop telling others to beware. I see youtube comments with the same retorts that they dont mind white and koreans being "ambassadors" for them. Even seen some throwing shade at us.

Let them go through it on their own.

oh i hear you, you're thinking of industry too. i hear that.

just to paint my picture :

when i hear afrobeats are doing well and the artists are branching out and every now and again there is a mainstream afrobeat event it makes me smile and proud. i know how entertainment works before hiphop black people were still the forerunners of culture and etc even down to food advertising it had to have something black about it or whites wouldn't touch it (facts)

up until recently ... its strictly jamaican culture down here everything to the music, talk,food,etc ... so i am hoping this big push afrobeat is getting rubs off on all africans in the western world. people pushing harmony eating suya meats and combating their own bigotry with other excuses.

so believe me a couple afrobeat grammys by whoever will only trickle down positive effects for us living in the western world.

till this day! even in the USA they dont fck with africans no afrobeats no food no slang ... even coined terms like FBA to divide themselves.

anyway went too deep, but props. :salute:

But let's be reality for a sec

If white people want to do something, who's stopping them? how?

Especially in this day and age of integration and diversity
