Why alkaline hasn't broken into American mainstream yet?

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

People not trying to decipher patois.

This

Cacs making soul and dancehall music while black artists can't get on radio. Even rihannas work song apparently needed translation videos.

Goofy asses..

@Poitier If your going to speak on Vybz Kartel, at least listen to his songs first. Alkaline is no where near Vybz Kartel's level, and to my knowledge Alkaline uses song writers as well. If you grew up in Jamaica or followed dancehall, you wouldn't be saying that garbage. Vybz Kartel has so many hit songs that you cant even remember them all. Every now and then you hear a Vybz Kartel song you love and Just thinking back on all the good times you had when the song came out


Sometimes I feel like you only come into non AA threads to spew bullshyt

I could see him collabo with Young Thug

Maybe they feel as if they wont become famous without it. Vybz Kartel made tattooing and bleaching 'cool' for dancehall artists, it might be easier for them to follow the trend. I dont know Bleaching will always be to me tho


BUt anyway, more songs

THis is trash to you breh? @Poitier


But mi a,
Still The Lyricist, Vocabulary Physicist, Melody Michelangelo weh paint di graphic images,

 

[Man]

He looks like a gay ghost and sounds like a chipmunk

Besides, the biggest reggae markets are in Europe and Africa

It's not the 80s or 90s anymore. Where in America can reggae artists pull decent crowds outside of Florida and NY "revival" nightclubs?

I just don't see it Alkaline has better flows, cadences and sings better. Vybz has an aggressive delivery and is more lyrical but does nothing for me.
