if jidenna isnt self produced, then let me say this. jidenna's producer is just as much a gift to this generation as his producer. the mixing and creativity of the beat is absolutely insane. im in love with it.
I am an Indian and I absolutely love Jidenna. Bambi, classic man, boomerang I love 'em all. Jidenna, if ever you read this, let me tell you, that you're awesome and keep making wonderful songs like this one. Lots of love !!!!!
providence Beats No one cares, she meant she is proud of African musicians and Jamaica is not the only place that looks like that. "It reminds her of home" not it is my home. fuckarahere
Omg the chocolate goddess in the white shorts dancing on the beach made this video for me! She destroyed those moves! She made me proud to have this beautiful brown melanin tone.
Yo, that guy that danced with his arms backwards made this video for me. I'm proud to be a black man. Because we should be proud in our race because we can dance!
As a young Black woman, Jidenna's VEVO and music gives me a safe place. I feel beautiful and represented in my truest form when I see his work : Strong, seductive, caring, care-free....authentic. I cannot stress enough how important representation and positive representation of Queens in the media is. This not to say that trap music and the like does not have its place, but the disproportionate representation is clear, and artists like him are stabilising the balance, one video and work at a time. He's one of the few artistes that Id be honoured to appear in one of his videos. He may never read this but, I just want to say on behalf of all the sisters who feel ignored and shut out from Eurocentric, misogynistic media: Thank You. God Bless.
Gabrielle Davida Gay 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💪💪💪👌👌👊👊 Beautifully Said my Sista! Don't believe the hype from the low voltage, one-dimensional, corporate media. They are soooooo out of touch with reality!
I'm white and very Eurocentric in my tastes, and am a guy, but this is a really beautiful thing to read. I enjoy Jidenna a bunch, and even though I'm sure he can't mean the same thing to me that he does to you I'm happy that you've found an artist that does this for you.
Some of you Americans are so ignorant lol this isn't dancehall so he's not going on "Drakes wave" drake isn't the first person to do dancehall smh. This music is called Afrobeats which has been going on for decades in West Africa..Jidenna is Nigerian so it isn't surprising he's doing music like this.
Agu Patrick..first he is from Imo state but grew up in Enugu and second, what is "half-cast"?...have heard him say several times he prefers being referred to as mixed not "half-cast".
Let’s not forget he’s light skinned, all African top singers rappers are light,... Chris brown, riri, drake, cardib, etc.... This industry is still racist tho they will never admit it...
oh my just watching the video after listening to it countless times i must say i got the chills from just watching . He is in love with his Nigerian culture
I don't think Jidenna's underrated. I do think he's been working to release an amazing album, i can feel it. He's under Janelle Monae who's a creative genuis so i'm definately he's crafted an beautiful album. 6 songs released thus and its sounding fresh
Speaking from Jamaican heritage...THIS GAVE ME LIFE! All the FEELS...Perfect mix of Afro-Carib/World Music! YASSSSSS! Jidenna...you did your Nigerian people proud! LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!
Proud proud to enjoy Afrobeat (Nigerian music) in America. Hope our parents now realize that all Nigerian children should not aim to be doctors, lawyers, scientists etc. We need musicians and the world to embrace our unique style and confidence..love Jidenna!!!!!.
This is afrobeats omg! The drums, the pidgin, the rhythm. The Afro sound has been on for generations (Igbo, Yoruba, Ghana etc) and just because the world is finally getting to hear it doesn't mean it's a new discovery. Omg I'm tired of this! How are you all going to claim a whole continent adapted the Jamaican sound?? If you want to say there are similar rhythms then that's fine because we all share the same ancestors and there's bound to be similarities with our food and with patois and pidgin, but enough with the claiming. African drums and style has been popping from time. If anything the "influence" should be the other way round. Y'all should go bother controlla on RUclips or somn
Bitter nobody lmao. The influence could never be the other way around because JAMAICANS invented reggae music period. The music you other nations were making before sounded NOTHING LIKE IT. *Learn your history.* Give respect where it is due and shut up your crying. Is this an Afro beats song? Yes sure, with BLATANT Jamaican influence. Hence him wanting to shoot the video there and use Jamaican models, etc. It's a blend. Jidenna is a knowledgeable and prideful man, if it was pure African and specifically Nigerian he would have done this whole video 9ja style but he *DIDN'T*. Dancehall, Reggae, and the Caribbean sound are not new either so fxck out of here with your baseless whining. Drake's watered down stolen goods don't even do the genre justice so take that crap elsewhere. He is the one that the industry shot callers happen to ALLOW to represent the sound to the ignorant. Just as Jidenna may be introducing African sounds to the mainstream U.S audience but he isn't the only one and not the inventor. Not to mention the entire "Afrobeats" genre itself is a *BLEND* of African sounds across nations period. So what are you fighting for? What are you trying to own? Be still. Jealousy is oh so very ugly & transparent.
+Nelle Nelle lmao do u even hear urself.... where do ur ancestors come from? Africa...before the internet yall didnt know how we sounded so yall though u "invented" this whole type of music so anyone that has similar borrowed from Jamaica (haha)....boy pls..KNOW UR HISTORY even patios has roots from west Africa....learn ur own fucking history (oops) i forgot u barely know anything bout ur ancestors and u only depend on the lies white ppl tell...yup thats y yall thought we lived on trees...pls we African have diverse sort of sounds from east to west to south so afrobeat is self doesnt have one sound....yall got ur shit from us cos ur ancestors passed down the sounds and yall recreated it thats y it sounds similar...we borrow from each other but that doesnt mean u guys should claim everything...u dont see Africans going to "work" or controlla and saying afrobeat shit ...Jidenna is obviously Nigeria and u can clearly here the background voice which sounds like a yoruba incantation (bet u dont even know what that is), the ankara material he wore and the dances shoki alkayida azonto clearly west African and he spoke pigin in the song (wait or will u say he was speaking patios) yes Jamaicans are lit but pls not every sound like this is urs or copied from yall... by ur word "give respect where its due"...and u said y didnt he do it in Nigeria let me tell u even Nigerian artists dont shot their videos in Nigeria they go to south Africa or london or some shit to do their videos so what makes u think Jidenna that has been in America for a while will travel back for it when he has said he is scared or kidnappers in Nigeria......looolll u said Jealousy :\ haha PLEASE AFRICANS everywhere in the world have nothing to be jealous about...like duhhh we have the richest most diverse, original cultures and languages in the world that everyone wants to steal from...thats y some of yall be wearing our cloths yet talking shit bout us... pls go dance to "bruk it down" or "work" or "murder she wrote" or "lucy"...or u probably also think Africans learnt how to whine from Jamaica...haha even my great grandma was a twerker when she was young and she had no television in her time so PLS have several seats ur ancestors were from West Africa.
+Nelle Nelle Jidenna is introducing afrobeat to America yes America cos Europeans have been feeling it for a long time....so u r trying to claim this is Jamaican cos ur darling Drake dont give yall credit enough and he keep on stealing ur vibe and yall can go in on him.....pls Jidenna loves his culture he has said it before he is a proud Nigerian man go watch his interviews on African parents and if he is representing anything he would represent Nigeria not go all the way to copy other artists and go for the Jamaican vibe his Igbo brain is way to loyal for that....hahaha oops yall didnt invent shit i just reminded u ur ancestors were stolen from Africa...so the sounds just evolved...sad much...go consult the oracles of ur ancestors and ask them of ur real history....
I just don't understand , Why we (as Black People) do not support more artist like this. This video has class and style, it represents us as a people in a positive and culturalistic fashion. It shows are woman don't have to dress like a prostitute and still be beautiful...This is a representation of our culture and our music as black people.
@@mishkaosborn5364 Nah, can't blame it on the media at this point. RUclips's been out for over a decade. MTV, BET and many others have long since been replaced by online streaming. Anyone can choose what they want to listen to at the click of a button. I personally found Jidenna online after searching for more African friendly culture music. Someone in a forum recommended him. It''s time to face the fact that we as Black people in America have created a culture in America that simply doesn't care for classy music.
I'm here for the Shoki, the pidgin, the Alkayida, the Azonto, the waist whining, the Ankara, the Afro beat sound, Jidenna dipping it low, the black women LMAO let me just stop...
Anih Constance Same here, I'm Jamaican and we love all kinds of African music. I'm just correcting ppl who think this is dancehall or a rip off of Jamaican music- it's different in it's own right. S'all I'm saying.
for real tho. I'm glad he he recognizes his naija roots in this song. although I guess "some kind of way" has afrobeats in it too. his rap songs r so different from this. he is a talented dude hope he blows up
I love how he keeps his style so classic and how it has a touch of African culture to it, it's beautiful and that's something you don't see much in this generation, thank You
+AriMichel98 not really because usually lighter girls are stereotypically used and darker girls are twerking props in the background so I don't think the person was being jealous. Shade of skin is not something to be jealous of either
+Tyrone Dickerson Well he IS a rapper so I came to that conclusion. My point still stands. These artists rarely put their own women in the vids. Glad to see some Nigerian beauties.
Jamaica we dey yah! #AfroJamericanGyal #Welikklebutwetallawah Big up Jidenna and alla di Nigerians fi bringing di Naija culture to we island! #BigUpYuhNaijaPride #OutOfOneManyNGJM
I can't even handle how handsome this guy is. Its an overall swagger, how he presents himself, carries himself, his style all of it. And now that he has showcased his dance moves in this video im a little overwhelmed with his greatness
M Byamb it's sad how white skin is considered more beautiful, i mean when was a deficit better??? (une carence en melanine est considere ideal????) Franchement je trouve la peau noir sublime💋💋💋et dans lislam, Adam (le premier homme cree par les mains de Dieu) signifie Noir: pcq la couleur noir detient toutes les autres, de meme que sa feme Hawa signifie foncer.
+Taehyung's trash /NCT's Trash Jamaican ancestry is African. And through DNA testing it's an island of people who are Prodominatly black of African descent. He simply said beautiful black and precious than a nubiun Queen. He didn't say she was from Africa.
Taehyung's trash /NCT's Trash Was that really necessary? And Why is it usually cursing and smh (what ever that is) when dealing with some females (I'm assuming that's what you are). Not all but some. I understand you are proud to be from Jamaica. But I was just stating that he was simply complimenting her despite where she was from. No defensiveness or hostility. Interpret it however you wish.
Jidenna is definitely one of my favorites. I can't get this song out of my head, and that's a good thing. It's been a long time since an artist put out an album is good.

Yesss we Jamaicans love our African roots

+Taehyung's trash /NCT's Trash why you reply to every african comment with something jamaican
I'm mixed wish Hispanic and Jamaican I'm proud to be both !!! I embrace both cultures 😭

if jidenna isnt self produced, then let me say this. jidenna's producer is just as much a gift to this generation as his producer. the mixing and creativity of the beat is absolutely insane. im in love with it.

Ain't no place called African America
Own your HERITAGE
+kingsley nnorom African American is a heritage, they're a diasporic group of Africans specific to America, and in pretty sure she's proud of it
Jidenna: AKA the most ridiculously well-dressed man in the world.
u got that right..
That'd b Pitbull imo
What-If Machine yet can't afford his clothes
Mmm God, he is!

As a young Black woman, Jidenna's VEVO and music gives me a safe place. I feel beautiful and represented in my truest form when I see his work : Strong, seductive, caring, care-free....authentic. I cannot stress enough how important representation and positive representation of Queens in the media is. This not to say that trap music and the like does not have its place, but the disproportionate representation is clear, and artists like him are stabilising the balance, one video and work at a time.

His fashion style is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ankara is African traditional piece of clothing just different names for it. Just wanted to share peace
1) Talent

Still vibin and grindin to this song in 2020
I'm here for the Shoki, the pidgin, the Alkayida, the Azonto, the waist whining, the Ankara, the Afro beat sound, Jidenna dipping it low, the black women LMAO let me just stop...
All this👆 song and vid got me in heat 😥👏
Not only you o! #AfricanSwag #WestAfricanGroove #Naija'Tins
+Bola Aduwo Yaaasss.... I live for the West African swag... Ghana in this piece!!!
Yes! He killed it! 🙌
+Terrell A'mari fuckin go live there then....im sure you will contribute to thier society.
Jidenna always incorporating Nigerian fabric's into his fashion, salute
God bless my beautiful country! Jamaica 😊🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Yes, it's afrobeat but THE VIDEO WAS SHOT IN JAMAICA - not Nigeria.
+A Jackson I'm Nigerian and we love the Jamaicans too and Jamaica is a beautiful place. Don't know why y'all arguing
Anih Constance Same here, I'm Jamaican and we love all kinds of African music. I'm just correcting ppl who think this is dancehall or a rip off of Jamaican music- it's different in it's own right. S'all I'm saying.
This guy is soooo underrated. Classic Man, Bambi, this song, etc…….this is some real good feel good music for this time 💗💕💗
That Nigerian Pidgin Flow towards the end tho🔥🔥🔥
Yes I was living for this!
Indeed!
This song is trash
for real tho. I'm glad he he recognizes his naija roots in this song. although I guess "some kind of way" has afrobeats in it too. his rap songs r so different from this. he is a talented dude hope he blows up
+David Crescencio agree!!
The way that he looks into the camera and smiles, makes my heart melt like butter...
Jidenna is so beautiful 😍 can’t stop looking at him
You know he nigerian right?
Emmanuella Gyamera So what’s that supposed to mean?
Me neither😍😊
Love his sexy self
His game is 🗑 though 😂😂😂
Jidenna should make a comeback he’d be bigger than ever before
Jamaican beauty Anita Webb glad this was shot in my country Jamaica🇯🇲 we love our African roots!!!
I love how he keeps his style so classic and how it has a touch of African culture to it, it's beautiful and that's something you don't see much in this generation, thank You
I like how its a Darker black girl and she looks beautiful with the fro too!
Beautiful Jamaican queen Amita Webb
+AriMichel98 he said she was
+AriMichel98 not really because usually lighter girls are stereotypically used and darker girls are twerking props in the background so I don't think the person was being jealous. Shade of skin is not something to be jealous of either
YESSS I would kill for some chocolate women they look so refined and gorgeous
+AriMichel98 How is that being jealous? He just doesn't worship lighter like you do.Chill son.
6 years later and I'm still obsessed 😍
Yas, a rap video with actual black women. Its a miracle. Good job, jidenna.
actual black women?
you think this is rap music?
+Tyrone Dickerson Well how would you describe it? Pop music?
Idk what this is but it's not rap. It's reggae pop music. Definitely not rap music. Maybe it's hip hop but that is an extreme stretch
+Tyrone Dickerson Well he IS a rapper so I came to that conclusion. My point still stands. These artists rarely put their own women in the vids. Glad to see some Nigerian beauties.
Those girls dancing on the beach...beautiful African dances. Looks like some of the dances from the Skelewu days.
This the shoki and alkayida days now
Just imagine Jidenna feat Stromae. That will be super epic!!!!!
Would appreciate that
Omg i thought I was the only one 😮
There is video concert they had
Together
Would be the perfect song of skinny dudes with amazing voices 😁
@@real_wiam that's my dream
Jamaica we dey yah!
#AfroJamericanGyal
#Welikklebutwetallawah
Big up Jidenna and alla di Nigerians fi bringing di Naija culture to we island!
#BigUpYuhNaijaPride
#OutOfOneManyNGJM
How come he isn't more popular? He is ridiculously talented
Because he isn’t talking talking shooting or drugs
I can't even handle how handsome this guy is. Its an overall swagger, how he presents himself, carries himself, his style all of it. And now that he has showcased his dance moves in this video im a little overwhelmed with his greatness
why is this song not on the radio? I love it! And Jidenna gets me every time! He's such a beauty =)
I have been hearing it on XM :)
+Jasmine Osima awwwh man and I don't have XM :(
Michela Isabella it is on the radio
puppy Lover well I guess in my area they never played it but they also don't have very many hip hop stations =(
Thank you for the beautiful comments I will forever be grateful to you all because you all made me who I am today💕💕💕💕💕💕❤❤💕💕💕
I can’t explain how much I love this song 😩❤️❤️❤️
Nigeria repping in this 🇳🇬🇳🇬

+Taehyung's trash /NCT's Trash you arent jamaican

Jidenna looks like a cleaner version of The Game 😂

Hold up. Let's take a minute to appreciate miss black beauty's African dancing like...👏👏👏

the girl's dance at 2:55 is amazing 😍😍
perfect. Love African dancing.
her shoki was on point
OOMMGGGGG I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME!
True
that chick is hot, but the way she dances, you can tell she's feelin the beat
I'm from Morocco n' I'm so FCKN proud to be African ! Show them a lil bit more KING.
Yasser Khalis pfffff t’es le 1er à l’avouer, vous vous croyez tous arabe pas africain d’habitude 😂😂😂😂
M Byamb it's sad how white skin is considered more beautiful, i mean when was a deficit better??? (une carence en melanine est considere ideal????) Franchement je trouve la peau noir sublime💋💋💋et dans lislam, Adam (le premier homme cree par les mains de Dieu) signifie Noir: pcq la couleur noir detient toutes les autres, de meme que sa feme Hawa signifie foncer.
M Byamb oui cest vrai, consulte un dictionnaire arabe: adam=noir
Yasser Khalis 💯
Yall cant call yourself african
I've been waiting for him to come back and he did not disappoint! 👣
Ayyyy
he never left ur just a radio listener and not a true fan
+Beastybeasts 😂
+Beastybeasts True

It's high time we (African women) embrace ourselves exactly as we are.
Lucia Masie Okenve high five 🖐🏾make it high ten 🙌🏾

Shineel Gordon lol

i'm proud of the major presence of dark skin women in this vid! YASS SON!

I met this song and the singer when he performed at the VMAs 2016 !! Sensational music!!
Come to BRAAAAASIL 💘
Just can't wait for his Album
me too
same
Jidenna out did himself on this one. Africa let's goooooo. that first dance get it boi....
Yesssss! Sis in the water doing the shoki! The theme of the video was perfection & exactly what I thought of when I first heard the song.
Nostalgia brought me here i haven’t heard this song in 6 years and I was 12 back then ❤😫
DAMN.. Love my beautiful black sistahs. Noting on this earth is better and more precious than a nubian princess and queens
The girl is Jamaican 😊😊😊
+Taehyung's trash /NCT's Trash Jamaican ancestry is African. And through DNA testing it's an island of people who are Prodominatly black of African descent.
He simply said beautiful black and precious than a nubiun Queen. He didn't say she was from Africa.
Taehyung's trash /NCT's Trash Was that really necessary? And Why is it usually cursing and smh (what ever that is) when dealing with some females (I'm assuming that's what you are). Not all but some.
I understand you are proud to be from Jamaica. But I was just stating that he was simply complimenting
her despite where she was from. No defensiveness or hostility.
Interpret it however you wish.
+Ash M @men 100% @gree!
God bless you . 🙏🏽♥️
Jidenna is definitely one of my favorites. I can't get this song out of my head, and that's a good thing. It's been a long time since an artist put out an album is good.
