Wow, you are so correct, as usual. I never thought for once that Bounty Killer was criticizing afro beats but as a musician yourself, you brought simplicity to the whole conversation to people, who lacked clarity. I see fans are trying to say that afro beats are taking over the world but folk need to understand, that there are millions out there who still love R&B, Rap, Country music etc. Knowing my country as well as I do, American producers will never allow afro beats to take over America; you know why, because we have a whole lot of pride with what we call our own and will continue to promote music that is "American" owned. We are both capitalist and isolationist with the mindset that nothing or no-one is better than our own home-grown American artist. The most lucrative music industry is located right here in the good ole US of A. Why do you think Burna Boy quickly apologized for offending Black Americans, with his whole spill on where Black Americans think their motherland is lol. Burna Boy understood the assignment; it is all about the Benjamins. Non-American artists make more money holding shows in the US than any place in Europe and other parts of the world and that's a fact.
The dude who was very touchy about what Burna said was another ignorant one. I live in NYC. Burna boy clarifying himself does not necessarily stand as an apology. What Burna said is a fact. If African Americans are able to pair up properly with Africa, United States will collapse. All that major purchasing power that black people in America would be channeled to African. That would be a revolution of the white man fighting to keep the blacks in America. I studied the music industry in graduate school. America is only an opportunistic capitalist country who want to explore and exploit every nation and everyopportunity. The Jews did a good job on how they locked the American musicians industry in a quasi effort to protect the home based talent, for proper tax revenue collection after generation. Ultimately, to help increase their own enormous wealth. The American music industry really does not care about the artist, all they care about is profits. Majority of the Afrobeats artist tour all year round. They sell out arenas across the world. Burna boy has sold out arenas in every continent. More outside America than in America.
When African Americans start moving back to Africa in large numbers and they start thriving in Africa, that reparation that they have been fighting for would then come to full fruition. The white man would want to use it as a compensation to keep and bring back some of those wo have left. Yes, Burna is right. It is a strategic approach by the west to keep Africa down, to prevent the African Americans and other blacks from other parts of the world from getting together. That way they can continue to exploit the black race. You are only as powerful as your root.
I need to apologize to this man called Bounty Killer because I fell for the mischievous click bait. Thank you so much for setting the record straight. ❤

I just watched the interview Yesterday and he was actually criticizing Jamaican music and saying that Jamaican Artists rather fight than Promote The Music compared to Africans who actually aren't Beefing mcu which is actually very Nice I thought I would see lots of beefing but the obvious one is Buju and Ruger. But Jamaica has fallen so far it's actually Sad the whole African continent used to Rock Dancehall at Parties 😅 I still do don't know about other people 😅
A idiot talk. Killer a make, hear what him say d whole world know dancehall music, afrobeat a idiot music day can inspire me, no message no style etc, me no rate it an me no feel bounty rate it either
I don’t care about what he said about dancehall that is their music but he can’t speak on afrobeats. There are a lot of artists that have good lyric like asa, wande coal. Tuface etc and other musicians from other countries that are into afrobeats
@@ebunoluwaoyebanji6501 Why cant he speak on Afrobeat? Is Afrobeat marketed only to people living in Africa? Doesnt Afrobeat sample a lot of Dancehall music and uses Jamaican language? He was speaking about his country music and used Afrobeat as a reference, he wasnt really speaking about Afrobeat nor said anything bad about it
@@ebunoluwaoyebanji6501Some arobeats artist career is based on dancehall.They use the same flow our beats.Ta ta ta rhythm is a dancehall rhythm made popular by Bounty Killer. Some of the songs shadow out our old beats.
@@NativeNomad10Afrobeat/ Afrobeats is a Nigerian genre and i have never heard any one sampling Jamaican language in it. Pls do research before saying rubbish***
as a jamaican I think if africans want to sing songs that sound Jamaican they should absolutely do it as we are africans that were stolen from Africa so dancehall is only stolen African music just think about it when it all boils down good video my boy love to all africans blessings selah
what he said overall is afrobeats which is inspired by dancehall got ahead of what its inspired by what came first is because the artist in jamaica dont focus on making reasonable songs That make any kind of sense but said afrobeats can get ahead of its substance and flow without saying much of anything Like making a story such and such
Are you joking afrobeat took inspiration from dancehall keh ..you must be thinking of Ghanian music not us Nigerians...All you dancehall song about is pum pum ,sex,money and guns,we don't do that in our afro beat songs abeg
Wow, so that was what he meant?!?.. I fell for the click bait too on Twitter, I won't lie.. *sigh* But he still didn't have to destroy the "Ye" song like that tho😏
What is definition of reggae? Why it was created? African never learn why there life is like that and what can be done. Reggae see the problem and solution. When you make no impact you are just for the present with expiration. The reason reggae is still going strong is because it has an impact and now a become a culture.
As a Jamaican I feel highly disappointed in some nigerians, they can't appreciate constructive critism and its crazy to think I have some of these people DNA in me. In the interview, Bounty said nothing bad about Afrobeat and was talking to his Jamaican people about how they are lacking vs Afrobeat unlike what Jamaicans were known to do in earlier dancehall, instead the music of now dancehall substance is lacking and crowded with lyrics.
You are falling for this guy gimmicks. No one knows bounty or whatever he says here. This is a country of 200 million people… this guy is only trying to get views. No nigerian takes this seriously
Shame on you for easily being manipulated into hating and stereotyping a country of 200 million people, from which your ancestors might have come from ( west Africa)
Afrobeats is a feel-good music. It is not the type of music you’d listen to if you want to mediate on life or think philosophically. The music is meant to let you forget about worry or wonder. It’s about being happy and making merry. The lyrics literally tell you that: “overthinking nor fit solve problem.” “Problem nor the finish, make you try to enjoy o.” The point of Afrobeats is to make you forget your sorrows, dance, make you feel dopamine.
You definitely know nothing about afrobeat. Foreigners only listen to afrobeat cause of the melody and the vibes. They know nothing about lyrics. Afrobeat is more about the lyrics and the message. Just because you don't understand what most of our artists sing about.
@@michaelreuben3726 stop fighting it! It’s feel good Music. None of the big songs have messages or complex lyricism, it’s not by force you guys lie to yourself
@@playwright5037 how many afrobeat music do you know? How many afrobeat artists do you know? Just because you might know Wizkid, Davido and Burna Boy doesn't mean you all afrobeat artists.
He guys don’t understand that in Jamaican music culture. The word lyrics has the implication of complexity. When he saying they don’t have lyrics he saying it’s not deliberately complex like modern dancehall artist of the 2020s
@Joshua Akinyemi Those of us whom are Nigerian know that. It is an expression of an exclamation. Which was followed by him, Burna saying "this is a song that would make you rip out your panties" - translated. So if the man does not know the meaning to the lyrics to of the song, that would have been a better stand point. Someone said he meant that the lyrics were not intricate. Well, to start with, it was not a rap song where we are looking for bars or double entendre. It was just a flowing lyrical song.
@@paulo.8921 LOL did you watch the video we know its not flowing lyrical like rap, thats his point! he saying jamaican music needs to stop being complex and go for more simple universal melodies. It was the naija nationalist that deliberately misinterepted his point to make it sound like a dig. he saying regardless the language barrier, the feeling "ye" is universal. again its not a dig stop being defensive
I watched the entire video. I have seen snippet of it at least 3 times. He contradicted himself. Yes, he did say Jamaican singers should stop being complex. The complexity is what is the Jamaicans problem. How does that translate to "ye" not having lyrics. That is where he buried himself. I live in a Jamaican neighbourhood in NY. Most of my ex's are Jamaicans. I understand patois. On a good day I can fake it and get away with it. So I understood all he said. He contradicted himself. First of all, Ye is not a topic. That was his first blonder. Second, was him saying the song has no lyrics. Third, was him saying Jamaican songs are too complex. Then he solidified it by saying music is supposed to uplift someone. And due to Jamaican songs being too complex, with no one being interested in complexity is what is dancehall problem. That is not our problem. We love our Afrobeat even when it is a lamba, we love ours.
It's not just the media scince the beginning of the rise of afrobeats too many Jamaicans online at the very least have been throwing shots at afrobeats. BK's arrogance is just the latest chapter.
idont know if this will help the discussion but i feel that this i a bit of a manufactured issue because i feel there is room for both music styles to thrive at the same time. lets just enjoy it as good music. to much fighting about everything else in this world, there good afrobeats aswell as there is bad afrobeats . there is good dancehall aswell as bad dancehall.
Jamaicans people are jealous of africans and they see africans like a rivals, but if Africa mainland didn't exist and jamaicans people wouldn't exist today, funny when jamaicans people doing this kind of thing
Dancehall has negative associations, IE Sexist, Homophobic, Promoting Violence etc .. Afro Beats doesn't have the same negative stigma. hence why Afro Beats is able to reach a large International Audience.
No, he didn’t take a swipe at Afrobeats. He was actually taking a shot at the new wave of dancehall artistes. He said dancehall artistes are too technical, but afrobeats artistes make simple songs which is why they are dominating. He was singing burna’s ‘ye’ as a reference. I like your show, but let’s be careful of the info we disseminate.
guy with your kind of review, people will hurry up to criticize the guy instead pf praising bounty killer for his honest review of the two genres. Stop reviewing something if all you want to do is to take something out of its original context. He made more sense than you who is trying to explain to us what he was saying
Yes Afrobeats is supported in Jamaica (check how they were vibing to Burna Boy live). It's only these bloggers and vloggers trying to gain views by creating fake beef between Nigerians and Jamaicans.
Bounty is talking about the difference in both music not that he’s disrespectful. He’s just saying the catch is Afrobeats is dance able not lyrically which is true compared to a tune like mi cyan believe mi eyes by Bounty . He’s not hating but stating fact why Afrobeats is running the place now
I watched the original video he did not trash Afrobeats. He said that dancehall artist don't make music for the world. He gave big ups to Afro Beats. Your video intro is adding to the click bait part before you corrected the issues and advise the listeners that bounty killer was not bashing afro beats
The man is ignorant and should stop running his mouth woto woto. The "ye" in Burna's song is what Nigerians say when they are in pain, or trouble or they have made a mistake,If he bothered to listen to the rest of the song or asked someone to translate then he would have understood the message. The song was even sampled from Fela who always had a social message, so this man ain't that smart with his subtle digs and he is too old for this foolery. I would have gone along with it if the song ended after "Ye"
Look Jamaica with a population of 2.7 million people not even enough people to fill Lagos city alone - music has been popular since the 1950s. DJs can select popular Jamaican music from the 1950s today. Whilst Afrobeats from 2000. That's 50 years more and Africa which is a continent of 56 countries with 1.4 billion people. So yes it's time for the music in Africa to go global. Also note Afrobeat came first I believe in 1968 and Afrobeats 2000. Fela Kuti was the king of Afrobeat - like how Bob Marley was considered the King of Reggae. Tony Oladipo Allen was Fela's drummer and he was influenced by reggae, Cuban music, and African music at a time in a conservative Nigeria which certain class of society looked down on his music. He incorporated these different genres into the music. Afrobeats today has been influenced by dancehall just to mention one. Since the 1970s many Nigerian, Kenyan, Zimbabwe and Ghanaian musicians were influenced by music out of Jamaica and many became reggae artists in their country. Jamaica however never really if ever listened to African music played on the Island since the emergence of Afrobeats in 2000. Reggae artists got their inspiration from the first Africans taken over from Africa to Jamaica from what is now Benin, Nigeria, Ghana, Burkina Faso, Senegal, Gambia and DR Congo. Then from the USA and other Caribbean Islands. So Afrobeat today I believe is a great genre to have arrived in Jamaica to people who are proud of their African heritage
Hi there, Instead of this silly argument about Nigeria's Afro beats and Jamaica's dancehall music, why don't those greedy Nigerian politicians try feeding the people in that country, you have millions of people starving and living below the poverty line over there. Nigeria is a rich country in natural resources and oil, so you want to sort out your economy first and your greedy corrupt politicians in Nigeria that are pocketing the wealth for themselves, sort them out first rather than this nonsense about who's music is better.
Afrobeats have lyrics, that guy is jamaican, he dies not understand the song, on ye burna is talking about things happening generally and he is exclaiming that is where repeating ye multiple times come in
Burna boy isn't the only Afrobeat Artist and the point he made is a compliment, it doesn't need a lot of lyrics, so he was saying Jamaicans be using a lot of lyrics but too much and it's not needed
He did praised Afrobeats, but he also talked down on it. You would notice his body language and facial expression when he said ''YE, YE, YE. The White man couldn't understand the ways of our ancestors, so they said Africa is backward, but today they are now bringing back some of our old ways and they say its ecofriendly like it's something new. Bounty Killer does not understand the morphological elements of our Pidgin English and some of our local dialects , so he said Afrobeats does not have ''Lyrics''.
You completely missed the context of what he was saying. What you wrote is literally why the phrase people only hear what they want to hear was invented. What he was saying was Afrobeats got it right and the dancehall artist miss the ball trying to fill up their songs with lyrics when people want medley. Also his facial expressions hasn't changed for 20+ years 😂 you must don't know Bounty. He just passionate
@Seeker people can perceive what they want to perceive. They can also perceive the subject completely out of context and see the opposite of what is actually literally being said which is what's happening here and why we're having this conversation because you perceived wrong. Therefore context is the key and to understand context one have to actually listen.
@@roseofmaafa1148 What is true to you is determined by what you are focused on. Like I said earlier, he praised Afrobeats, but he also talked down on Afrobeats because he does not understand our Pidgin English and some of our local dialects. He is entitled to his opinion, so are you, and same goes for me. Let's leave it at that.
@Seeker truth is truth whether you are focused on it or not. You lack comprehension skills therefore you perceived something that was not true and you also just made his point by saying he don't understand pidgin. His point is Afrobeats is on top because they not using technical lyrics just good melody and riddim the whole world can vibe too that sounds good. Then he went to bash his own dancehall genre for their technical lyrics and for only making music that appeals only to other Jamaican around the corner and gun culture. He was literally saying he prefer Afrobeats way better that his own dancehall genre.
The man made more sense than the whole 8 minutes of this video. Definitely not subscribing. More than half of ur video made it sound like d man was trashing afrobeats, d last or and half minutes of d video was what was relevant.
This bounty killa is talking out of point and jealous at the same time, even went as far to say afrobeat artist are stupid, I think he needs to visit psychiatric hospital for not noticing the chats afrobeat songs are breaking, simple question the lady asked about afrobeat he started attacking , YE is a great song with beautiful lyrics
Thanks for this . Someone need to be careful not to judge issues without hearing it fully
I love black people music PERIOD! Lets stop the division and make great music and vibes together.

You obviously didn't watch his interview. He literally praised Afrobeat and was hyping Burna. And he tore down Dancehall. And he was being objective
@@danieljoseph4267 he seems to be making mockery of the ye ye
Watch the interview please. He was praising afrobeats!
U obviously didn't listen to the interview bro
@@azeezedo-omozuwa1820 how that’s just how he sounds
Thanks a lot, because I left him to insult his grandparents
Afrobeat 🪄
Check out Brymo

Look Jamaica with a population of 2.7 million people not even enough people to fill Lagos city alone - music has been popular since the 1950s. DJs can select popular Jamaican music from the 1950s today. Whilst Afrobeats from 2000. That's 50 years more and Africa which is a continent of 56 countries with 1.4 billion people. So yes it's time for the music in Africa to go global.
Also note Afrobeat came first I believe in 1968 and Afrobeats 2000. Fela Kuti was the king of Afrobeat - like how Bob Marley was considered the King of Reggae. Tony Oladipo Allen was Fela's drummer and he was influenced by reggae, Cuban music, and African music at a time in a conservative Nigeria which certain class of society looked down on his music. He incorporated these different genres into the music. Afrobeats today has been influenced by dancehall just to mention one. Since the 1970s many Nigerian, Kenyan, Zimbabwe and Ghanaian musicians were influenced by music out of Jamaica and many became reggae artists in their country. Jamaica however never really if ever listened to African music played on the Island since the emergence of Afrobeats in 2000. Reggae artists got their inspiration from the first Africans taken over from Africa to Jamaica from what is now Benin, Nigeria, Ghana, Burkina Faso, Senegal, Gambia and DR Congo. Then from the USA and other Caribbean Islands. So Afrobeat today I believe is a great genre to have arrived in Jamaica to people who are proud of their African heritage
What you’re missing is some smoke 😂
Hi there, Instead of this silly argument about Nigeria's Afro beats and Jamaica's dancehall music, why don't those greedy Nigerian politicians try feeding the people in that country, you have millions of people starving and living below the poverty line over there. Nigeria is a rich country in natural resources and oil, so you want to sort out your economy first and your greedy corrupt politicians in Nigeria that are pocketing the wealth for themselves, sort them out first rather than this nonsense about who's music is better.
Afrobeats have lyrics, that guy is jamaican, he dies not understand the song, on ye burna is talking about things happening generally and he is exclaiming that is where repeating ye multiple times come in
Burna boy isn't the only Afrobeat Artist and the point he made is a compliment, it doesn't need a lot of lyrics, so he was saying Jamaicans be using a lot of lyrics but too much and it's not needed
😂😂
He did praised Afrobeats, but he also talked down on it. You would notice his body language and facial expression when he said ''YE, YE, YE.
The White man couldn't understand the ways of our ancestors, so they said Africa is backward, but today they are now bringing back some of our old ways and they say its ecofriendly like it's something new.
Bounty Killer does not understand the morphological elements of our Pidgin English and some of our local dialects , so he said Afrobeats does not have ''Lyrics''.
You completely missed the context of what he was saying. What you wrote is literally why the phrase people only hear what they want to hear was invented. What he was saying was Afrobeats got it right and the dancehall artist miss the ball trying to fill up their songs with lyrics when people want medley. Also his facial expressions hasn't changed for 20+ years 😂 you must don't know Bounty. He just passionate
@@roseofmaafa1148 We all look, but we see differently, the key is perception.
@Seeker people can perceive what they want to perceive. They can also perceive the subject completely out of context and see the opposite of what is actually literally being said which is what's happening here and why we're having this conversation because you perceived wrong. Therefore context is the key and to understand context one have to actually listen.
@@roseofmaafa1148 What is true to you is determined by what you are focused on.
Like I said earlier, he praised Afrobeats, but he also talked down on Afrobeats because he does not understand our Pidgin English and some of our local dialects. He is entitled to his opinion, so are you, and same goes for me.
Let's leave it at that.
@Seeker truth is truth whether you are focused on it or not. You lack comprehension skills therefore you perceived something that was not true and you also just made his point by saying he don't understand pidgin. His point is Afrobeats is on top because they not using technical lyrics just good melody and riddim the whole world can vibe too that sounds good. Then he went to bash his own dancehall genre for their technical lyrics and for only making music that appeals only to other Jamaican around the corner and gun culture. He was literally saying he prefer Afrobeats way better that his own dancehall genre.
😂😂😂
Jamaican dancehall is more lyrics, more technical, etc
Afrobeat is more melody.
That's all.
Of course he's hoping dancehall get back to #1
Dancehall is all about sex ,drugs and pum pum this pum pum that ...if you don't understand what our language then keep listening to your trash ..
Me I no be cat o 😺
The man made more sense than the whole 8 minutes of this video. Definitely not subscribing. More than half of ur video made it sound like d man was trashing afrobeats, d last or and half minutes of d video was what was relevant.
Can I say I love you?
Lgbtq???😂😂
He still goofed. Afrobeat lacks lyrics? Really laughable... By the way, I fail to see all the technicalities he so attributes to Jamaican music.
Keep spamming the comment, you have a personal beef with Jamaica, seems like one of them took your woman. You arent even an African born so stay mad.

That guy call bounty killer is very stupid for saying what he said
To give compliment to Afrobeat is being stupid?
This bounty killa is talking out of point and jealous at the same time, even went as far to say afrobeat artist are stupid, I think he needs to visit psychiatric hospital for not noticing the chats afrobeat songs are breaking, simple question the lady asked about afrobeat he started attacking , YE is a great song with beautiful lyrics
