Our music use to make you want to dance, but now all it does is make you depressed 😔, when you listen afro beet, even though you don't understand, it's make you want to dance, and that what dance hall use to be like
Every young artist right now want to be a top meech and singing about chopping the line . It's not all about competition ! Marketing is about collaborating with other business ventures. Big up my artist Popcaan wah understand the assignment from day one
As a 40 yr old member of the Diaspora what I see happening with the Traditional Stalwarts of dancehall is within 15 years they will Fade. In 15 years the current set of Traditional Ravers that attend dancehall events overseas are we who use to the 1990’s and Early 2000’s dancehall. I don’t really see the new generation displaying the ability to Support and maintain the genre. I don’t mean the artist. I mean the Diaspora Patronage. This has a lot to do with the content. Longevity and reach of the songs coming out. Reggae Needs a NEW REVIVaL, and once that’s done Dancehall will again stand out
Jamaicans need to learn to respectfully hold separate opinions from others. We have this complex that we are the blueprint and anything anyone else does is not the way to go.
Plus the Older Artiste ‘WHO ARE DANCEHALL’ - dem still alive - mek dem all relevant again - BusySignal, Mavado, Sasco, Beenie, Bounty, Frisko, Cham, RedRat, Gaygas, Spice, Alka, so so many and the 90’s Artists dem still alive - plus the producers also - JUGGLIN IS NEEDED AGAIN - NotNice etc etc - let’s target the World and stop targeting eachother nuh.
Most of the new songs can’t leave the airports in Jamaica, and if it does it’s limited to the diaspora only . The average Jamaican have a negative mindset with a strong level of being unprofessional. Can’t even conduct themselves professionally in a interview and when they get booked for a show shows up late with a bag a man behind them.
The murder and chopping music was never popular outside of Jamaica. I wish more a unu on the island knew that. People internationally want more fun sounding music is just Jamaican love the darkness and death music for some reason.
When the present generation of dancehall artists come from in of the girls throat then leave the murder music and bring topics that cover a wider scale, then I think Jamaican music would make their way back to being a genre of something the world can relate to again.
Artist/entertainers have to pay to get a table at the met gala it's not only based on influence and popularity its also who's able to pay the $350,000.00 fee to get a seat at the table.
Yea this is what happens when you throw away your unique sound & culture to copy the sound & music of Americans & blindly try to penetrate the American market.
The elders are the one that cause the youths to be at this place (throw away the culture) and the youths see them as being dinosaurs which is wrong on the path of the youths. #fixuplife
The main problem with the genre is we are making trap music and calling it dancehall, I live in America and no body don't want to hear that we want to hear real dancehall not trap with patois trap with patois is still trap not dancehall and we don't want to hear trap from Jamaica we have enough of that in America it's really simple
The real interest in Reggae music got real sick on May 11,1981. And since that time reggae have lost its place in the hearts of the traditional fans. Reggae music was healthy back in the day. And the dance hall version of Reggae also play a major role in overseas people losing interest in reggae music. These days even reggae artist have to turn to dance hall music because one and one have to eat and have shelter inna real life.
Sad to say dancehall reggae are going through what Disco music went through. Only a machine can bring back the old dancehall reggae unless the youth as a collective form some type of treaty or contract amongst themselves to put out what people really want to hear overseas. I don't hear skillibeng in most places I go to. Afrobeat is tearing down walls and boundaries.
@@milanostyles -- AFROFUSION is a fusion of Afropop, Dancehall and Soca. Pay close attention and you'll notice it every time. It should never be confused with Afrobeat, which is a legacy genre of The Motherland pioneered by the likes of Fela Kuti, Manu Dibango, Cymande, and Ebo Taylor.
@@milanostyles -- You've been playing Fela and Manu in your parties since 2016? Do you know the difference between Afrobeat (which in itself IS an Afro beat) and what is being called Afrobeats?
Steflon don is a one hit wonder with that great tune with french Montana " Hurtin" Sadly & mistakenly she's opted to go down the slack & raw lyrics road which is the rage in ja dancehall But it's a dead end road because slackness,' raw lyrics & cursing lyrics ain't getting airplay in international mainstream or huge sales Dancehall music was fine when it was more reggae orientated Right now there is just a high turnover of garbage songs This is in inevitable if a large proportion of the artists are mediocre
@@rrowell4163Idts, she had a follow up hit song with "SENSELESS" and it was even remixed by Tory Lanez. I do get your polite though, clean music will always lead and go places. Dancehall artists need to start pushing more clean music with that feel good vibes.
In Texas, only old Shaggy and Sean Paul played in Walmart n few other spots I know, otherwise from that only I play reggae or dancehall in my car or at home.
You guy’s interview the most choppa artist and I never hear you guys put up a challenge to them to make a hit without choppings ……stop highlight the flaws and start help the situation
Artists, you can basically sing about anything and make people dance and hook them. Can creatively sing about "MOLLY" & "CHOPPING" on a feel good type of riddims. Step out your comfort zone and keep the music clean and dancey!!!
Dancehall or should I say trapped dancehall in a box do music for there enemies in and around Jamaica so the people that truly spend the money don't have a clue what these new artists says
If we really want this GENERATION of artists who are all into the "TRAP" sound to tap into the authentic dancehall riddims, then the people who can make them properly (Old G's) need to gather a few influencial ones along with veterans etc, pay them well and work along with them to produced some proper JUGGLING that is clean and have that feel good vibes. Can't bash them without a SOLUTION to at least try fix the problem. I love trap, but it's clear that dancehall has lost or loosing it's true identity and grip it had on the world. The DANCE and FEEL GOOD vibes needs to be restored into our music. HUMBLE PLEA TO ARTISTS: Take a timeoff from the trap sound for a while, the music is staturated already with it, and think about the "culture" preservation, if you guys don't take the batton and carry on the race, then it will eventually fade out and die. I hope someone with a platform can see this and highlight this comment. By XileTheArtiste (🇬🇾🇯🇲🇹🇹)
Again, Naro and Ari are totally ignoring their guest. They don't know how to incorporate the guest. You might be doing this for a while, but it's very, very bad manners to just ignore your guest. Poor guy. Current dancehall is DEAD in Europe. It's coming up to festival times in Europe, see the list and none of the so called big new..ish current dancehall artist are invited.
@fantastico444 Nope ! Yes Bob Marley and the wailers. But dancehall artists like Sean Paul for example ? NEVER. 20k stadium is now the limit. Burna boy is selling out 50k to 60k stadiums. Sean Paul, Beenie, etc could never do that or did that !
Lol wat are we harping about here?dancehall was never intended to be loved outside of Jamaica it's Jamaican ghetto music ,the music is going back to its roots ..all them Japanese and Germans who now have a problem with it ,that's there problem dancehall was never world music
For the Jamaicans living in NYC ,please to tell nightly fix,Dancehall has two bubbling songs in New York which look like they about to cross over Afrobeats repetitive asfuq. Nightly fix just never appreciate Dancehall from day one.Even the blind can see that Afrobeat has strings pulling for them. ALL WE DO IS DEMONIZE EVERYTHING JAMAICA.
Wah the song dem name? An how tf them fi hate dancehall from day one when the man dem have a dancehall oriented show fi like 10 years. Furthermore new york is the Caribbean diaspora so getting a minor buzz there means nothing.......America have bout 50 states wah bout dem?
@@davidscott3726What strings are pulling afrobeats ? Why isn't dancehall having these strings pulled for dem ? HATER. Afrobeats repitative ? Lmao. How many times are we going to hear about Gaza or bad mon tings ! Get outta here
MuSiC hAs tO cHaNgE A YoUnG pEoPlE tImE nOw Kmt them a mash up the music Only hot on RU-vid and tik tok and nah do anything Trending and Apple Music inna Jamaica a trick nuff a dem…
We tired of the gunman songs. The world is hurting everyday. Instead of bigging up bad man, burn it out so they can make music with sense and when they do, y’all don’t push it. Some actually make some good songs that the people don’t push because it’s not violent enough. Strange but it’s the truth.
It's a simple problem we want to be like Americans too much stop making trap music and as for reggae when was the last time we put out a new reggae artist from Jamaica that is of significance, the world rate our music but we don't rate it that's all it is
U think a joke fam samory i have a song name Rasta nuh gangsta and mi get a call say him a tour down India and china with the song and mi cah bet u say majority a Jamaicans nuh knw the Rasta artiste who sing the song
Back in the day its not as if it was old ppl listening to dancehall and making it popular...it was young ppl...they were the ones putting the music on billboard and going to shows ... clearly the youth in the rest of the world dont fuck with it
Naro and company, you guys are so disrespectful to your guess, You went into this grand discussion of dancehall/reggae slow death without acknowledging your guess presence. It’s quite clear he feels slighted ( body language ). If I were him I would walk off your cocky, mom & pop program. Not everybody can handle suck-ce$$pool.
It’s nothing to do with being a puppet because music is a business and we must remember that and respect that . Enough of this manly , macho stuff that has been found out so it’s time to go back to basics and get it right again . The Afrobeats artists are making money , fame , acceptance and are not only United but are equally investing their dividends into other areas that will sustain them when the hits or big songs dry up . Afrobeats is making everyone dance again and the fact remains that no matter the dance you go to now regardless of it being mostly Jamaicans … when they play Afrobeats… the place erupts . That you to be the effect dancehall had on the fans . Afrobeats has come to stay and we must show love to our family from the motherland. It’s what it is
For the last 10 years, i have felt like i cant enjoy dancehall in peace .As you start to enjoy it ,some negative soul ready to tell you that the genre "'a ded". NO MATTER HOW BEAUTIFUL YOU ARE ,IF YOU ARE BEING TOLD ON A DAILY BASIS THAT YOU ARE UGLY ,AT SOME POINT IT WILL BECOME A REALITY IF YOU FOCUS YOUR ATTENTION THERE.🤔.Smh
The new artist to influence by what the Americans are doing. The riddims have taken a step back. Every artist damn near sound the same now. I could be wrong everyone sound like they using auto tune. So no one sounds distinctive. You can't in one sense compare to afrobeats, because the African Diaspora is everywhere in the world. So naturally they gonna do numbers. Just like the Hispanic diaspora is bigger, so that advantage is built it in. The only thing that dancehall can do is make quality music. Reggae is in a better space in my estimation. If you check it soca, specifically french soca Zouk is very similar to afrobeats. Look at a group like Kassav them man dem being going all over the world for year, they had a big African fan base.
I'm so glad you guys brought this up AI is going to be a problem for Dancehall, a lot of artists are difficult to work with they want a ton of money💸for Dubplate and jingles AI is going to change all of that collaboration that you would never hear because the artist hate each other🤨 will start to happen😅 Sound man will start to make they're own Dubplate without them this will be a big problem you remember what the jah cure said to the selectors😏Payback!!!🤣
Hope unnu ready fi a multi million dollar lawsuit caus unnu feel seh a suh eh guh theres something name image and intellectual rights Jus tru jamaicans nuh tek wi own music serious an wi naah tek eh time fi learn bout eh music business dats y ntn fi wi naah reach no weh
When this girl ari talk she drive me nuts Jamaica never have a industry and still run the place back in the days the beat is the problem not the lyrics
The music is going through a transition period and the elders have a part to play as to why it’s here (gate keepers mostly) and the youths have a lot to catch up on. Both generation is lacking in structure both generation have to take the blame. #fixuplife
The Asians and Europeans love consciousness, dance music and also ganja music. There's the circle that love the slackness, but it's not particularly good for their cultural mannerism.
Artist Don’t listen to Ari… bout deh Inna same room. Uno try remember what dem seh gwaan Inna Green Room. Worst uno go lock up with Puffy or Slim Thug (Bounty Voice). 🔥☄️🔥☄️
At this point am starting to think that they want the music to die . Dancehall could be in a better standing,but nothing indicates that it fixing to die. JAMAICANS JUST LOOOOOOVE A SAD STORY.
Why uno ask dem questions yah and uno a push one skee mask a lot of who uno chat to a 5 minute artist a dat a mash up the thing the music needs to get back real worse like how everything is so visible via social networks
U guys need to do more research on dancehall reggae and its audience and market the US is the smallest dancehall reggae market Europe and Japan is ten times bigger than that of the US👍
Bro trap loops are not dance hall and it's not anything new...Wanna be trap fi real. Then the dance hall had dance and creativity...what is there now is downloading a trap beat and loops and samples tuning up the voice and getting some schoolboy views and thinking dem relevant.
then if nothing nuh wrong why forign people stop listen to it. gweh bredda a dunce like oonu gas upo them waste artist yah an mek dem feel like dem a do something when a really fuckry dem a sing.
@@Lando-kx6so I don't have to..This conversation been going on for 15 years .I SWEAR TO GOD👏. At some point I co.e to realise that Jamaican music won't die .. JAMAICANS ARE JUST A BUNCH OF NEGATIVE PEOPLE WHO SEES THE GLASS HALF EMPTY ALL THE TIME. Ari was like "SHATTA WALLY DID SONG WITH BEYONCE, BEYONCE PEOPLE!"... Didn't Sean Paul do that 20years ago?????😂😂😂 LISTEN!!!! Jamaicans know the music ain't dying.We just love a sad story.. Jamaicans are negative Bro
Reggae an dancehall must declined because when the artist dem sing there song they can’t get visa to go perform promote there craft in certain part a the world ,, it’s a plan to keep the music on a level open y’all third eye 👁️
