    Lucky Dube addressed issues in Africa and was murdered, Bob Marley said one love and Jamaica has one of the highest murder rate in the world. Where is the conscious music getting them? Seems like it is leading them to an early grave. I don't necessarily like the modern music, but at least it is making people happy.

    Buju Banton is worried about the fight that dancehall and reggae music is getting from Afrobeat. Most Jamaicans don't like and support other people's music. They hardly play music from other Caribbean islands. Soca artist from the Caribbean are selling out stadiums without Jamaicans support. They are very selfish.

    I dont agree with his views on this. We have enough problems without adding this unnecessary wahala. Reggae music was created in the Caribbean but it is heavily influenced by its African roots. Afrobeat musicians now borrow from Reggae from time to time; so what! We (i.e. the black diaspora) should be boosting ourselves up because of our successes and encouraging each other to excel, because our orgins are the same. Instead our internal division is why other cultures so easily exploit us. We need to change the narrative.

    To be honest, nowadays afrobeat songs are just for the dancehalls. It lacks substance, and most of it shouldn’t even be allowed in our country anyway. If I were president, I’d ban so many songs, both in hip hop, afrobeat, and especially rap. Some of the ideals in this things are not good for the society long term.
    Also, most songs in all genre globally these days, most of them lack substance, not just in afrobeat.

    Nothing from his criticism but jealousy and bitterness. What is conscious in Dancehall and Soca or Calypso? If Afrobeats is not uplifting enough for you, you have options in other genres. Africans don't have to listen to genres from outside the continent every time. This is Afrobeats time, therefore should be celebrated as music of Africa origin. Afrobeats is not about music alone but food fashion and culture. Foreigners are being introduced to Africanow food and fashion through Afrobeats. Curiosity about Africa is increasing through Afrobeats. If you can not get your fulfilment through Afrobeats,look for it somewhere. Music is personal.

Does Asake sound like he is taking from Dancehall, does Kizz Daniel sound anything close to elephant man or Bob marley? No, they don't and they don't have too. Now some artistes have certain tracks that talks about societal problems like Burna boy have a few and there are many more. If buju doesn't know, he needs to make some findings first, it wouldn't hurt.

      Also I agree that we need the african artist to sing more about th3 societal issue but let's be real, singing g is not the solution but getting in the streets to protest and the governmen5will be shaking in their boots. The time to protest by singing is in the past. You don't beg for freedom, you take it. The government is scared of the people.

      Play attention, nobody is going to make no album on everyday struggle. Few songs here and there. Stop the Cap. There have been a lot of Nigerian artist that have been music about freeman and the situation in Nigeria. Stop the Cap 🧢

      Criticism for the sake of criticism. What fight are Jamaicans doing for Africa? Jamaicans barely even like African people.
