What do africans think of African Americans?

[Fandroid]

No one follows Jamaicans except for weirdo hipster cacs that smoke weed.

Kill yourself.

reggae was an offshoot of American randb and soul music.

Do you know what offshoot means? Because reggae and r&b sound nothing alike.

If we're talking about influence, then we might as well ultimately include cacs because trumpets and guitars and saxophones were introudced to black people by cacs.

They're society racist as hell. They just saying they would for the camera but they know that's not the case.

reggae in the beginning borrowed heavily from both soul and rhythm and blues music in the 50's/60's

Like i said there were threads made about this. Mainly from @IllmaticDelta

Breh, AA culture would not have global reach if not for the cac media that helps spread AMERICAN culture to evey country in the world.

AA culture and music were spreading since the late 1800's before America was this global media powerhouse. In large part from Afram pioneers themselves

reggae is a jamaican offshoot to/of american soul music... not modern r&B

not true...Afram culture was spreading globally before there was mass medias such as records and TV that we know today. Secondly, they did this under intense undermining, segregation, extreme jim crow etc..Take something like ragtime that was global in the late 1800's/early 1900's before TV/Records





shyt was global and the hiphop/jazz/rock of it's time and before mass media

.

negro spirituals were spread all over europe and in africa in the 1870s/1880's

But Aframs' influence is intertwined with the reach of the US. Jamaicans don't have that luxury.

actually, jamaicas international influence that really came in the 1960s was directly tied to Britain

Both black groups are neck-and-neck in terms of influence, IMO.

hell na....they're a tier below aframs but safely 2nd. One can argue that before the later 1960's, Cuba, Brazil and even Trinidad were more globally influential than Jamaica.

Afro-Cuban influence gets majorly slept on in these conversations. Hell that musical exchange between them and us(African Americans) been rolling since the 1800's.
