Hey
TRAPFLIX TV
True...
This great glad to hear some truth to music and how to understand this new style
Afro beats is ADOS/ FBA Soul, Jazz, R&B and Hip Hop with an African twist.✊🏿
Nothing can touch 80's and 90's Roots Reggae and Dancehall!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🇯🇲🇯🇲

We’re in 2023 my friend stop living on past glory and tell y’all artists to go in the studio and make hits
And early and mid 2000s

@@babyhoneybunch5547 right we in 2023 ninjas talking about nothing can touch 80s and 90s raggae lmao 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I’m Latino and I love reggae and afrobeats. Reggae is abundant in Latin America, and slowly Latin artists are starting to sing Afrobeat in Spanish. Thank you Nigeria and Jamaica for such good music 🙏🏽
Can’t forget Ghana’s role as well my friend.
@@troya.8094 thank you Ghana 🇬🇭🙏🏽
Koffee is a perfect example of this, her music needs no censorship and her lyrics has brought her to the international stage… that’s where dancehall and reggae needs to be again 💯
I agree 100%, the 1st time I heard toast I played it too my 9 year old and tell her this is your culture. Big up koffee
I have to disagree with Bounty on this. Here in Chicago drill music started and it was based on local street beefs within the hoods. Now the Drill music has gone international, you got everybody saying that they smokin on opps; or smoking Tooka. Tooka was a kid in Chicago...now everybody around the world know who Tooka is.
@@reggaefan2700 Drill started in the UK, Ops is British slang. (Edit I was wrong, but I still believe ops originated in the UK Drill slang)
@@Metaworldwide Bro im from the UK and i know chief keef started drill pretty much its from chicago and we took and changed it into what it is today. But its originally from chicago just like garage was as well, chicago has influenced UK rap scene like crazy.
@@Metaworldwide I doubt Drill Music started in the UK. There's no one in the UK that inspired the founding drill rappers (Chief Keef, Jojo, Durk, etc.); they were all inspired by US rappers (50, Gucci, Diplomats, etc.). So you can miss me with Drill rap starting in the UK. Also I think Ops is a video game reference similar to "Game Over."
This has to be rated as one of the honest interviewers by a Dance Hall artist I’ve ever seen. Straight from the heart, straight to one’s head top.
Honest? Saying Afrobeat got no lyrics just melody and topics. Wow bcos he doesn't understand the language. Jamaican music all talking about dirty words that youths shouldn't even listen to but we don't discriminate we still embraced it. Remember Africa is too large. Jamaica is just a state in Nigeria.
@@valentineanthony5615 You took what he was saying out of context. He was giving Afro Beat props. I’m a huge fan of Afro Beat, and this is just a reminder Burna Boy went to Jamaica and shut the place down, it was road block. So there is no need for a shady comment, Jamaica is just a State in Nigeria, grow up.
@@mrchris6684 Stop it , dudes a low key hater as the people cheering on this rant.
Uh huh
@valentine anthony you misunderstand what he is saying. Listen again without defense.

As a Nigerian growing up in the 90’s and early 2000’s dancehall was all I knew and it was quite big not just in my household and region but probably the whole of Nigeria. Till this day I still love dancehall and the memories that musicians like Maxi Priest and Shabaranks gave to me will live with me for the rest of my life. I hope to see this genre back on top some day.
I was in the African Shrine....
Dancehall is nonesense ! Leading the youth astray !
I think that the world is so dumbed down now that Black youth music like dancehall and rap lacks genuine story tellers.
You would need conscious enough lyrics or just stupid easy lyrics combined with creativity for dancehall to keep on roaring instead of focusing only on easy mainstream topics like party money girls and alcohol with lame melodies that remind commercial reggaeton. Part of dancehall evolved into a bland commercial thing : flashy, easy to listen to despite it won't make you travel nor won't hit you, won't make you think, so you stay a docile consumer happily drugged by entertainment without trying to have a true blast. Hence why the babylon masters like culture to turn that way, glorifying human weaknesses and basic pleasures without any form of revolutionnary thinking nor morals nor deep philosophy. Never bring deep inspirations, just make "politically correct" music, so the sheeple stay attached to it and docile, blocked by the fear of discovering the unknown and rather complimented for staying into their zone of comfort.
Whether in dancehall, afrobeats, reggaeton, electronic music or any genra, we are lucky that some real artists like Bounty stay faithfull to their highest inspirations instead of going the easy way broadcast everywhere mainstream by the merchants of the temple.
When it comes to gun lyrics, it is people's duty to interprete them and be educated. A good gun lyrics song should have strong enough meanings connected to ethics.
As a european I can tell you many white people love dancehall and reggae for being so incredibly conscious, inspiring, optimistic and relaxing. It is sad though the plants they consume grow indoor and make them stupid, a plant that never sees the sun is sick and can't be called medecine anymore.
Bounty Killer is such a wise man offering mature, constructive advice to young dancehall artists. Much respect to this king for embracing and celebrating Afrobeats, hopefully this will pave the way for more Carribean and African collaborations. Africa loves dancehall, most of us bere grew up listening to dancehall and still appreciate it. Hopefully the younger /newer artists will heed Bounty's advice. Thank you Bounty and the interviewer, stay blessed. God bless Dancehall 🙏🏾
Taura hako 🙌🏾 so true.
He’s wrong hip hop is full of beef, metaphors, and its world wide
Bounty killer is the goat!!!!!!
Compared to reggae rap beef is a joke honestly! They do more yappin than clappin!! It’s not a bad thing, they’re Jay not as gully has Jamaicans!

@@voselinecooper6510 it's call evolution we speak unity but we have none too much pride and fight down but people took Killa statement out of context basically he's giving afrobeat their flowers for what they're doing in the world of music today and he's saying what Dancehall should've been doing in order to get back on top of the world in music simple nothing hard to comprehend
Bounty has evolved so much. I have truly grown to appreciate him so much more. He has a lot to offer. A true teacher and genius in his field. 👑
I call him dancehall prophecy
Well said.
Factss
@@calijahbelizean u know a fr
Killer can't even find the right words to sound eloquent. Still a dunce in my opinion. No vocabulary.
What is destroying dancehall is the violence in the music. People are sick of it we want to hear music that uplift us.
This is so so true
I'm a jamaican and 💯 agree, I've stopped listening to Dancehall for over a decade due to the violence and lyrics degrading women. Afrobeat is relatable and has a vibe, everyone can listen to it. It can be played at every occasion. I'm gutted these young uneducated dancehall artist taking advantage of the road paved by these OG's.
Schools and industry can't help these hot headed artist. All on their minds is war and quick money. Very very sad!
Dexta Daps just did a mock remix of Ayra Starr song Rush and it was all laced with words like Pum Pum and Cocky etc and Jamaicans were salivating wanting him to release it. That’s exactly the problem. These musicians are a reflection of their audience. It’s easy to point fingers at the artists.
Dexta took a wholesome song that talks about financial blessings (that can be played in any setting) and decides to sexualize it(and reduce the play power to a minority demographic)
Nigerians think $$. This music thing is now a business and the world ain’t seen anything yet.
I'm Canadian-Jamaican and I agree with you. I remember when Pon Di River came out and even Granny RIP was kicking up a little dance. As time went on and Kartel got more recognition, I stopped listening to it. Even to this day, Bob Marley (mixed man) gets more recognition than Dennis Brown and everyone else. Even my generation doesn't appreciate the greats who paved the way for Bob.
That's also why the dating scene has gotten worse. Guys listen to these songs and make it their lifestyle and it reflects how they treat women. In addition to their mother's not teaching them how to properly treat a woman and respect her.
Same her the moment they start disrespecting women.. I said ok that's it..
@@omoakin5619 WE DON';T WANT DISGUSTING LYRICS THAT DEGRADE THE BLACK RACE..PERIOD
Same here I Agree with everything u said last 11 years I've been on the afrobeats hands done I can play it in my car with my kids without worrying about cock key in the belly pumpum this and that 😂😂😂😂
“Put ego aside and do it for the music and people” powerful words
When you realize the POWER you have and choose to use it for good 🎖️
Every genre has its time, it’s afrobeat time. I love dancehall, rap, funk, pop, bashment
It's not their time! They are just smart! I've complained about the dancehall genre I used to lovel and their new topic of drill music for years. It is the topic they choose to sing about and mixing jazz, funk and old school to their somewhat traditional song and some of their native instruments. If you listen to many of the Afrobeat songs I love there is a song from the past (60's, 70's, 80's and 90's mixed with smooth jazz) that is very very dam close to previous American songs from the past.....why because it's familiar to us and the topic is what many, not the few desire and some are already familiar subliminally already use to! You can sell out a bar or club, but think bigger. Sell out a stadium, how......topic......I don't want music I need to go to war to, I want music I can pick a woman and dance with. One or two badman songs ok, but all night will lead to a shooting and death. Now how many people will run to by tickets for that. Same thing he stated here I said a long time ago about dancehall and drill music. Fad is one thing but it has gone on way to long to kill off the dancehall genre. Who brave enough to bring it back!!!!!!🇻🇮🇻🇮🇻🇮🇻🇮
@@geraldgreauxjr.7106 It's actually their time if you know anything about historical and present music trends. Bye hater!
@@geraldgreauxjr.7106And dancehall/reggae/calypso mixes all the same genres as Afrobeat, including using African instrumentations and melodies since their inception. They, like Afrobeats, have not maintained their original form and even when they did, it sounded very similar to some traditional village African music.
Acrobeat is everywhere now.
I agree 100%!! I love 90s dancehall, that's the only dancehall I listen to when I do. Afrobeats to me is positive, high vibrational music this is why it's so big now. I'm proud of my Jamaican heritage but when it comes to the music we need to do alot better. Most people don't want to go to a party and hear music that talks about violence and vulgar sex!
You’re pretty
100℅ right
Afro-Beats are fun for the most part. It's like we don't see any screw face cuss cuss, in the videos. I still love dancehall, but the Afro-Beats feel is a whole different vibe
Agreed. But there's one thing no one has touched on with Afrobeats. There's no slack lyrics, with dance hall it's violence or sex, not much balance. That's played out now.
Very little fun, love or pure vibes. The Riddms are good but it's not family friendly. You can play Afrobeats anywhere, a toddler or elderly person can dance, sing along and enjoy. You can't really say that about dancehall and this is where Afrobeats is excelling!!
No gvns or gyal a shake up azz in videos….. they music is just clean
Afro beats is trash
@Peter Livingstone exactly 💯. And we don't even understand most of the African lyrics. It's the easy positive vibe.
@AB y’all dance like Jesus is coming compare to Jamaica females….. in Jamaica pxxxy get skin out
Beautiful interview. Jamaicans need to heal as a nation then see the magic that will come out of its people. Raise up Jamaica!
That’s a pretty strong statement. In what ways do you feel Jamaica needs to heal?
I ask in real curiosity.
@@brentduanefoster sir are you jamaican because if you are and ask this question you are part of the problem. Lets start the healing from violence against women, how about selling everything while the people suffer. unnu wicked nuh rass.
@@brentduanefoster did you know jamaica is third in femicide. last year they were number 2. A little fucking island leading the whole world in the murder of women.
@@melicah2479 No, I am not Jamaican. That’s why I asked. I wanted to know so I can what the country is going through.
This guy in the interview is just an hater. You need to be happy for others in other to grow. That's why we don't even know you as an Artist. All these Black music came from Africa. Period. Instead of you to keep your pride and see how to use the Genre to bring out your star , you are busy dissing .That's why you are still a local champion.
Afro beats don't talk about offing people and marrow fly.... Just pure vibes...
But you would still listen to American hip hop
@@Imzz_.6 I listen to what I like.
What is marrow fly?

I HOPE SO!
Dancehall is not stuck in Jamaica, it's worldwide and it definitely influences afrobeats 100%
@@mikem4481 don't be silly
@@TuttusTelevision As an old man I can tell you Afrobeat started in the 60s. What we hear today is a more modern version of Afrobeat, but its origins are back in the 1960s.
All music (Riddim) came from Africa
Stop playing..Dancehall originated from the motherland Africa..the Jamaicans and large parts of the Caribbeans are from Africa.
African music genres always inluenced each other. New Afrobeat is very much influenced by Raggamuffin and reggae, not ths foolish "Dancehall". I am a longtime listener of reggae music but that which is coming out of Jamaica in the past 2 decades called dancehall is unbearable. How can you make music without melodies? And the oversexed videos.
Do they listen to music from their own National and international legends like I-Roy, U-Roy, Big Youth, Dillinger, Supercat, Nicodemus, Cutty Ranks, ,,,,? Or music from Frankie "Dancehall" Paul, Michael Palmer, "Jux" Junior Delgado, ....?
It is telling, that instead of honouring the many Stars that this tiny Island has produced, many of these stars have instead been murdered: Style Scott, Prince Fari, ...., Slim Smith, .... Where is the respect?
I wish the Jamaican youth can understand, that no genre has influenced World music like Reggae. And what was the main ingredient? These artists, in general identified with Africa. Today no one below the hills of Jamaica wants to feel African. If black Jamaicans refuse to feel African then what will they identify culturally to? And so what will they produce?
*It's not about the regional thing at all:*
1. Afrobeats is a purely regional music. Half of the chorus of "Last Last" isn't even in English, it's in Igbo. So the regional argument is not really valid.
2. Afrobeats is fun. Dancehall is dark now - Artists calling themselves demons and only talking about violence and unusual sexual acts. They need to make dancehall fun again like the late 90's and early 2000's.
3. All music genres have their "15 minutes of fame" so to speak. No genre stays on top forever. Rock and Roll was the big thing in the 80's. Then pop. Now hip hop is the new pop, but afrobeats is next up.
Burna Boy is even doing songs with the reggaeton artists now, smart move, that will make his presence even bigger on the international scene.
Dancehall and reggae artists need to take note and follow suit.
Real
@@mediamen7690 💯
Yoruba lol, not Igbo. Also the song was predominantly in Pidgin English (broken/Creole English spoken in West Africa).
As a Guyanese who grew up on 90 dance-hall music i fully agree with Bounty. One of the things that made dance-hall strong is when all of the top performers got on one beat...that was killer... under water beat, show time beat, anger management beat, penthouse beat.... bring back those days.
The producer is dancehall fell off. Can't tell the last time I heard a great riddim.
Diwali riddim one a the biggest thing
@@chevonwilliams9424 🔥🔥🔥
Real talk mi general mi last listen to dancehall 2011
🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾 💯
Oh man this is such an good interview. He is so on point with everything he said. At the moment I don't listen to the new dance hall its not relatable, too much violence, hypersexualized and full of negative energy. I love 90s and 2000s dancehall, they are legendary. I have been mostly listening and to afrobeats. Although I don't understand everything they say its just easier to vibe with it. Bounty is so right! Hats off to him for highlighting this.
💯 I wish we could come together and make dancehall great again!🇯🇲🇯🇲
You need afrobeat to push you not a problem we got you’ll
As a Nigerian and African I think dance all still stands and noting shaken it . We all should believe that is Afro beat time and that will not stop other genres from flourishing.
It’s all about time ... 🇳🇬🇯🇲💯🔥🙏🥰🥰
In some African countries like Kenya and Uganda Dancehall and Reggae are still bigger than Afrobeat.
Afrobeat is like 90s dancehall. Clean and melodic. Maybe dancehall just needs to look backwards for inspiration.
@@vicgabanna1816 no
NEVER GONNA HAPPEN... WE JAMAICANS ARE THE BLOODCLOT WORST
As a Jamaican it hurts to see other nations, even Albanians Romanians and Bulgarians..pick up the sound run with it and get successful whilst the originators cannot find it in their hearts to unite..."if you don't use it you will lose it"
That comes down to race.
It’s because of competition, but once it hits America, they’ll profit the hell out of it and you’ll be left fucked like a whole bunch of black groups in 90s and dating back.
@@nsudatta-roy8154 Um, no. The person mentioned Jamaican, Albanian, Romanians etc…. That is Nationality!
@@yoriminamotobey1139 Umm, no! The thing about life is that we all have our own perspectives.
@@yoriminamotobey1139 Jamaicans are our brothers their the same race. It’s a problem only if it’s another race. Stop fighting like your slave master wants you to
For those (Afro-Americans) thinking music in our countries in Africa never existed before Afrobeat... this means you are totally uncultivated.
Even our native French people have been dancing over:
- Soukousse music of Kofi Olomide, Quartier Latin, Papa Wemba... (From Congo/Zaïre),
- Coupé Décallé avec DJ Arafat, Magic Système... (from Ivory Coast,
- Zoul love (Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Gabon...)
- Reggae (Senegal, Mali...)
- Makossa (from Cameroon)
- Rumba (From Congo)
- Raï, Reggae (Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia)
etc. etc.
- Soul music from South Africa
There are so much varieties of very popular music we have and coming from all the countries in our Motherland Africa that is also the Motherland of all the Afro-Americans / Caribbeans/ Europeans as the first man came from Africa. This continent is the land of all as Men history had started from there. The one whose ashame of this will be lost forever, no matter his intelligence, skills...
Afro-Americans are descendants of Africans whom travelled to America deliberately to spread their culture and mostly Islam as the majority were Muslims. As well, there were Persians, the Ottomans (called Turkey today), Black Arabs as the real Arabs have always been black whom came from Sudan centuries before they landed in Middle East. The Arabs of today are the ones who've mixed the Black Arabs but whom the majority came from the Persia, Ottoman empire, the Roman Empire, Balkans...
Whatsoever, the African-Americans who complain about Burna Boy comments worries about their images... nothing else. Today if the land of Africa is being valued similarly as when the time of the ancient Egypt being led by pure black people from Africa being worshipped by the Europeans and the rest of the world, and the United States of America end up deserted... the same people crying out about Burna Boy comment will be asked to be enslaved to come back to home in their Motherland called Africa. They will even forget about their mixture with Amer-Indians with Spanish, French, Irish etc. as this is another thing that worry them as well... their look like their narrow features, smooth hair, all sorts of mixture... things that are unnecessary and that affects a whole community.
I wish all artists had the chance to watch this. One luv from Senegal 👌🏾🇸🇳

Sure they will...

Bounty told us over 10 years ago where dancehall would end up if the culture doesn't change and he was absolutely right. He predicted the future.
He surely did, nail pon di head 🔨
What ? Clown this man could of unite dance hall he didn’t yet complaining 😂 make it make sense nuh him name war lard lord ? Who sing more gun song like bounty killer stop being bias this man has said nothing but crap he show the young generation why the need to stay in school
@@patriots6552 what I believe that’s what people were asking for me. Even me I am guilty of that cause when I was a kid I wanted bad man songs. 😅 but time change every 5 to 10 years and now I don’t want to hear that. I just want to party without songs turning into a fight. 😅
Up💯Str8
And they were saying he was badminding , smh
The problem is the young kids are trying to copy the rappers
I always felt and still feel that the 90's and 2000's were the best time for dancehall music. The artists style and the riddims were on a different level.
I like the 90s and down dancehall riddims di best after 00 I feel like everything changed and the newer 🎨 didn't get too much shine because some of the popular artists were overshadowing them
Nope there more talented now it's just the chap topic an gun lyrics is on trending now
20 yrs from now this interview gonna be more relevant
Facts
🧢
It's relevant now. Look at all the comments
BK you are correct. The pandemic has fueled the emergence of Afrobeats. Globally, we needed a reason to smile and dance and Afrobeats has risen to the occasion. Afrobeats also comprises multiple languages and dialects, but the rhythms connect with people all over the world.. One more point, recently Afrobeats was a part of an NBA event and several black Americans said they couldn't understand the Afrobeats performers. I said, who cares, just dance and be happy.
You really told them to dance and be happy😂😂
I am so impressed with these latest interviews with Bounty… His points are on target and his arguments and analysis are incredibly invaluable. He has transitioned from a DJ into an ardent Musician. Congratulations. Bright and mature 💥
Bounty knows what’s he talking about having expose most the top dancehall artist.
I am an African, from The Gambia. Bounty Killa is truly and very right about dancehall. The energy of dancehall is no match for afrobeats, not even for any other musical platform. Dancehall yesterday and dancehall are on a different road map. He talked about the artist fighting each other, which is going to be the real downfall of dancehall music because they will lose focus of the real picture for the future of what the elders have worked very hard for.
Same I’m an African and I love dancehall, i want to see it get the same world wide love Afrobeats is getting. Maybe a new outlook on how to deliver their message will help the music get there
Speak for yourself. I prefer Roots Reggae from my people. DanceHall now is trash but nothing can top 80's DanceHall.
@@michaelldnI believe they got that love… it’s just that Afro beats is the new thing now.
Dancehall is equivalent to Newyork rap music in the 80’s.. its was the Mecca. But, with the shift in time. The world continues to evolve. Once Newyork lost it, it never returned. New Orlaeans has it , the Miami, then Atlanta . It will never go back to Jamica.. Africa is a continent of 56 countries. Dance hall is gone never to return

Afrobeats also does not need to be censored. Most Dancehall does. I love them both❤
Bounty, Buju , Capleton, Beenie Man, Shaggy etc... The biggest names and the most experience yet it would seem as if no one wants guidance or follow any blueprints as to which direction to take the music. Drop the ego and analyze the thing! That's why these DJs have had such longevity
For real, some of these yutes are know it alls, surrounded by scammers and murderers, comfortable with the cheers of 200 ppl. AfroBeats is clicking on 2.5 billion streams monthly...different mindset, different results
Bounty speaks the truth. 90's Dancehall was on 🔥. Shaba Ranks, Chaka Demars & Piers, Patra, etc brings back many memories. Respect to Bounty. Respect from South Africa 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
No lies told - 90s dancehall was the best, full of creativity
Bounty killer you talking facts ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
He touched on something more deeper than just the music here. I hope people hear the message.

Wicked interview. I’m Jamaican and love my old school dancehall and the singers. Today’s dancehall is not cutting it for me.
If you check most of the music being played in different countries in Africa and since day 1, you will recognise some of your beat and understand where all these style you have today come from languages, food, music, spirituality etc.
In Africa, you have everything you find in the world... all you need to do is to go and visit there. Even the Latinos music such as Salsa with the Spanish and Samba from Brasil come from that land. Africa is the pioneer of all that exist in this world. We people must be proud to have kept that skin colour to remind the world we are universe, we are their History 🙌🏾
I love the Rodney Pryce edition of Bounty. He always has something to teach
😌😌🔥🙏🤣🤣
This was good
Teach dem professor Bounty. These young dancehall artistes ego bigger than the genre. That's why dancehall is diminishing.
Dancehall is not diminishing. I'm in the States and we rock dancehall tough. I even have it on my channel even tho I stopped adding videos to it. Maybe later in the future when I have time.

@@dahbajanman7044 Who cares? Where did the Spanish get it from lol? Besides there are more Spanish speaking people than there people in the Caribbeans as a whole.Just saying. And reggaeton is not the same as reggae nor dancehall. It is totally different in beat and cadence. Take Daddy Yankee for example cause I never heard of Bad Bunny nor his music. But I will check it out now and see how I like it or think about it. Reggae to me is in its own league, same as dancehall. Dancehall is like hip-hop and Reggae is like RnB it just touches the soul and relaxes you. Dancehall make you want to go shoot some shet LMAO. It's a joke I make but you get the point.
Best interview for the next 25 years he's not only the best lyricist.. also the best of putting words together, you don't have to be a genius to understand,,, every black artis should see this interview 🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇯🇲🇯🇲🇭🇹
Best lyricist, I beg to differ. Vybz Kartel is, bounty killer is right under him though. Vybz Kartel is way more globally known and streamed, the man is behind bars and still creating a global wave musically.
POWERFUL‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
All these people disrespecting Killa during the Vegas war need to realize this man is a walking Legend a major pillar in dancehall history Vegas can not be compared no disrespect to Vegas a good talent. One of the greatest ever to do it, this what Vegas want to get cancelled out of dancehall SMH.

Dancehall and Jamaica ran away from their God Culture and Righteousness. (few interviewers have the COURAGE to touch this topic) and now are paying the price. How do you expect to be CREATIVE when you have gone from the CREATOR?(how hard is it to understand this?) Dancehall artists also did not INVEST in their craft and MIND state so how you expect dem fi grow? How wi fi have Marcus "Self Reliance" Garvey as wi hero and yet few of these artists are tapping into Brand Jamaica as their merch game. When on tour they don't do sit down with podcasters, youtubers, radio etc. There is no thought process of taking the music beyond its current state
WE have a generation of "Western Union" Jamaicans who don't know how to BUILD TOGETHER. How you fi get God Blessing when you not using the Music to glorify God.? Didn't Bob Marley show us the way? Its was DANCEHALL that changed the VERSUS game with Beenie vs Bounty and put value in it and yet people have the nerves fi ask if dancehall dead when they never ever believe in the music to begin with. Too much emotional males are in our country, we have lost our MASCULINITY as men. Andrew TATE talked about these EMOTIONAL MEN? The only workshop is the "virtual village" of sacred knowledge being run by the Oracle
Time to return to our Spirituality and build from within again. WE have to be raised up again.....Prophet inna real life

Shout out to Bounty! Wise words were spoken. We need more unity as Black people across the board. Jamaicans have to be more united and have that togetherness.
You can tell he had this on his heart. He spoke the entire time without the interviewer asking another question. Dancehall artists today have to recognize that up until the late 2000’s to 2010’s Dancehall was a big genre in the world. The new artists haven’t pushed it forward and they don’t seem to care.
This just not y’all time no more
@nicholas green Afro beats will never have the energy dancehall have how dare you … Afro beats artist say clearlyThey
Learn from dancehall stop it …. & the 1990s & 1980s are gone … Dj’s ain’t learn no training from coming on stage … Jamaican people been confident & doing dubs and singing in circles in corners and dj battling till dj cool herc bought it to Bronx & create rap & hip hop … you need to know your history cus what said up there is foolishness

It's not a competition. We should be proud that black music is doing well.
We are the reason why Afrobeats is taking over. Point blank, so Dancehall artist just keep singing, that bullshit, gun violence, and see how far it’s going to take you. Afrobeats is going to just overshadow Dancehall in last place. I keep saying, nobody wants to hear that negative energy music until Dancehall artists start singing and competing with Afrobeats. They are going to always be in the last place going into this next generation.
why does it have to be dancehall against afrobeats? Afrobeats is not here to compete with dancehall. Dancehall has permeated throughout the world and dominated certain regions for decades now let's just say it's afrobeats' turn. Dancehall is still already far more established than afrobeats so let's all just enjoy the trend
Omg! That's right!
You missed the whole point. These 2 genres are not in competition, they complement each other. if I go to a party I don't want to hear dancehall all nite just as much as I don't want to hear afro-beats all nite but having the option of several genres makes it even better. Again, this is all Black people's music all over the world.
Just like hip hop from da 90s jazz 2000 rmb done now it's Drill afo beats 10 years from now we see may south America Central Latin
@@oneilmarston698 WRONG!!! Afrobeats is here to stay. The world is just catching on. I remember being young and asking myself when African music played why it wasn't internationally popular like rap, r&b etc. Because the melody, tune and vibe is so captivating and mood inspiring. Fast forward 30 years later and the sound is now becoming popular worldwide. Africa has music for a lifetime that'll leave you in a spiritual trance. It's not going anywhere
One thing I wish was that they could have the era of One Riddim, and 5-10 different artists on it. It leveled up everyone and created a better cohesive vibe.
💯
That's a good idea but it will never happen again like that because it's too easy for a teenager to create a riddim in his bedroom and get an artist to ride on top of it. There is no need to share riddims anymore.
I’m Ghanaian and i been listening and loving dancehall since over 25 yrs … I agree what he’s saying as well, but “Ye” is just the chorus part … can’t downplay that. That song has a meaning stating the things he wants to go for in life when he gets success .. which is what he speaking on that’s missing from dancehall … dancehall artists are lyrical but there’s nothing u can really dance to nowadays without shootin ya finger in the air. The only recent dancehall track that gave me an old school dancehall feel is Koffee - Toast
Facts! And Ye doesnt mean "yeah"....it means "LIFE"
The song is very deep I wish u fully understood the metaphors n references he makes throughout the song, the song is so dope
He’s so right. Everything he said is spot on. Dancehall is losing its good vibe energy.
Cause the new artists them selling the soul an making the music sound like drill music when back then it wasn't like that
lOST FOREVER
😂 y’all just stupid as bounty killer he said skeng and niki minaj taking over skeng who sing bout poping molly like who he talking about if he keep contracting every thing he said 😂 plz listen this man need to go back to school
Dexta Daps just did a mock remix of Ayra Starr song Rush and it was all laced with words like Pum Pum and Cocky etc and Jamaicans were salivating wanting him to release it. That’s exactly the problem. These musicians are a reflection of their audience. It’s easy to point fingers at the artists.
Dexta took a wholesome song that talks about financial blessings (that can be played in any setting) and decides to sexualize it(and reduce the play power to a minority demographic)
Nigerians think $$. This music thing is now a business and the world ain’t seen anything yet.
Wowwww.. Bounty right !!! Dancehall don’t have no topics anymore. Not like before when I was a teen coming up. And it’s true. Afrobeats, reggae, hip-hop, RnB, etc, all black ppl music blend and compliment each other well! Each one has its own lane and when they come together, they unify perfectly! Don’t listen yo ppl saying nonsense! I love all my ppl’s music! Let them all shine and prosper and let’s us just continue to keep them relevant with good content. That’s all.
Exactly you’re not a teen any more .. times has changed..can you imagine Shabba telling bounty in the 90s you can’t sing these gun man lyrics
Dancehall always had garbage lyrics ....it's not the lyrics nor topic ...it is the beat itself . The beat sounds like something rnb threw in the garbage....kumina beats are older than any beat Africa can produce ....Dancehall music always had a semblance of kumina .. Dancehall has lost its identity thru its beats and riddim ....nothing else ...cause most were not about lyrics ...just the sound ...Bounty wrong .
@@markspringer716 you have no sense you’re lost if you think the father of hip hop which is dancehall has no lyrics … kumina is slavery wrap head drum music & choir singing. You don’t know what the hell your talking about … learn the culture & be quiet
@@markspringer716 the beats in afrika are older than jamaica
@@kennykross3306 for you to have a say u must understand that whenever there's a diaspora of any type, the diaspora holds on to any cultural identity they came with ....while in the country of origin , whatever exist in that culture continue to evolute ....therefore it is safe to say that when Kumina came with enslaved Africans to Jamaica, it represents a music from that time they came ...while music in Africa evolute...Kumina was held on to and preserved to this day ...the very same way pizza evolute in Italy but preserved in time in the US ...cause that's how it was made when the Italians came ....so don't get it wrong when I said what was said
Valid points there, but Afrobeats has meaning. Ye song by Burnerboy has a meaning, and Afrobeats didn't come from Jamaican Dancehall.. Big no no there. Big up Bounty Killer 👊🏿👊🏿
Killa reasonable ability unique. 4 some1 who some say is dunce he makes a lot of us wise up n feed us with a lot of knowledge musically. I really appreciate u killa. U were made 4 this.
I grew up listening to dancehall in the 80s and 90s and I can't listen to what is being produced now days. The 90s was a golden era for dancehall and will probably never be topped. But to be fair most music genres had their heyday in the 90s, it was truly a very special decade for music. Big up to Bounty Killer for speaking the truth and breaking it down for us
Facts dancehall in the 90s and early 2000s was the best era for me....now I can't even rave or listen to it.
90s was the best. Reggae radio shows on sunday night.
No matter where I was I used somebody's radio to record the music.
It was new artist & riddims every day.
& the message was in the music. Many topics were touched.
Some of the new dancehall is fiyah

That means there is an opportunity for me to do a dancehall mixtape with today’s artists which you and other old schoolers can enjoy appreciate.☮️☮️☮️
Ayo I'm from NY & listening to this guy got me laughing my ass off 🤣😂😂😂 he hella right tho!
Fully agree Bounty- nobody could’ve said it better. “Afro artists don’t fight each other”- real talk 💯 %
Who told you that? Burna boy and Davido are not cool . Africans just don’t want to hear violence in their songs especially when it comes to our enjoyment. Plus our parents and grandparents listen to the music, so they can’t be insulting or promoting violence.

Yea cause them afro beat man will cape for the white man but won't pay homage to all the dancehall artist who came before them.

So you Bounty Killa never fight against no other artists??? You never mash up no one's program
😁😁😁
Did he say he didn't
Nothing is wrong with competing. In competing things are gonna be said. Noticed he said a producer called him and presented a track for him and Beenie to do a collaboration? Do you remember Alliance? It was about the unity. He is saying do it for the genre. You don't have to like the other person.

Dancehall need wicked riddims again
Exactly,you can’t even juggle anymore
Exactly
Some of the record producers passed on!!
I swear, for whatever reason, dancehall producers stopped being inspired and right now it seems they can’t make captivating riddims anymore like they did in the 90’s and the 2000’s
These are the things Dancehall is missing today from what the 80's, 90's and early-mid 2000's had:
Creativity, Originality, Uniqueness, Structure, Authencity, Versatility, Passion, Edginess, Lyricism, Greatness and most of all the number one thing is Unity ❤ same goes for Hip-Hop as well.
A lie mi ah tell people?
Facts. 100% agree
I grew up in 90s. We enjoyed Dance hall music in Kenya so much. Problem with it today is it became very vulgar and lucklustre.
Yow nick mi talk it everyday bredda seh my dancehall stop a 04..yuh don't even have play a tune just drop the rhythm and the fun begin bcuz they riddim them well engineered also ✌️
I have been saying this about dancehall music but Bounty Kill articulate it better than I could. I feel this Bounty Killer, good interview!
Killa the dancehall great.. respect the man’s level of reasoning
Bounty the big HIPOCRIT I remember when he cuss beanie when he made zim zimmer,saying its not dance hall its a commercial pop tune 😮then he jumped on that song with no doubt with a naked man 😅after he saw how much money beanie made 😅,but when you look at the history of dance hall music,it don't really bang out millionaires in uk or us currency does it?and this is why its no coincidence that the two greatest dance hall mcs made the transition from dance hall to be two of the biggest selling gospel artist from Jamaica,papa San & lieutenant stitchie,as they knew dance hall music has no substance,and is never going to be a global consistent genre of music😊
go cry now shyt
Your English is so bad I can't understand what u are trying to say
When I first heard Afrobeat I was shocked at it. I thought real dancehall music was back!! Took awhile for to realize it was from Africa. Can't let it go. It remind me of the 80s-90s unity.
Bounty is my idol ! Dancehall is more than a money making institution. Dancehall teach youth a lot about their roots and culture, we can learn from the good and the bad. Each man ad is own experience, input and contribution. Bounty killer contributions is huge he is the giant and titan that this younger generation should learn from. Bounty you need to start your own organization to educate and unify dancehall.
Bounty killer keep in mind that is you and vybz kartel introduced segregation in dancehall particularly vybz kartel who took things further by beating and holding is artist hostage, preventing them from collaborating with other artists. Also beating selectors for playing other artist songs...
Bounty Killa has definitely been a significant part of Dancehall. May Dancehall unite and become great again

Dance all music has never been my type of music because the lyrics were difficult to understand especially with that nonsense Jamaican English.
They're hating because the
Afro beat is from Africa and Jamaica wasn't considered as part of Africa.
Y'all never see anything just keep watching for the next level of AfroBeat.
There would not even be a afrobeats without dancehall you clown. Jamaicans singers like Bob Marley, Peter Tosh etc put Africa on the world map when the rest of the world did not even respect Africa. Remember that boy. Afro Beats wont last because because its wack and does not talk about anything of substance anyway
Dancehall music is the heartbeat of Jamaica and will never die in our souls passed down from our ancestors. The problem is that society as a whole is so dumbed down that we don't have many great story tellers today. I love you Bounty you are the truth and that is why you will always be my favourite dancehall artist of all time.
Your Ancestors were from Africa where Afrobeats are from. It's all African.
I’m American and bounty killer is on point I’m still banging 2000 dancehall it’s easy to understand & relatable..

The best era to date ✊🏽💯

Actually ye ye ye has a deep meaning. Fella kute was dissing the oppressive Nigerian western backed government…. Ye means you will see it’s an expression….
It’s like yoo … yeee … gwe
That's what made newer artist like Koffee so popular and engaging. Her style and different style and the songs she made was a breath of fresh air.
What I respect about this interview which has erased it for me when they say Bounty is a bad minded brother is his admission that Afrobeats is up there now because of the kind of music that is coming out of the motherland. He’s a real veteran addressing why dancehall is stagnant today . He’s a top man and in the position to identity the flaws of dancehall presently. Trailer load of flowers to Bounty. Big respect… The truth causes offence but not a sin . Up top 💯
Trailer load of flowers for true!!💐 💐 💐
Best dancehall artiste eva. U r irreplaceable.
Do people forget how dominant dancehall was in mid 2000's it was all over bet couldn't escape it .
facts they never talk about early 2000s how crazy that shit was
Love you bunty African music Jamaican are same father and mother love all the way from Africa we love you Jamaica
I’m Ghanaian and he’s speaking facts even Amapiono has made a rise just off the beat and melody’s
I'm Kenyan and it hurts me how guys especially americans and Caribbean people are saying afrobeat and amapiano came from dancehall. This goes to show you how these guys don't know anything about us and how they still demean us and put us down... How is femi and fela kuti dancehall surely?😂🙆🏾♂️
Isn't Amapiano a spin off of Pantsula,Kwaito,House????
@@SkengMannmode Amapiano is nowhere near Dancehall😂
@@LukeZalimba I thought Amapiano was a spinoff of SA House. I do feel like Jamaicans (Akaan people) like to lay claims to traditional African rhythms. Even dancehall main rhythmic elements are African. Same with raggae, raggaeton, and afro latino music. We use the same or very similar instruments
@Femz Exactly, sadly, there's still this element of snobbery within different Black people .
Wiz Kid I'm in a good mood sweet is F.
This man is dieing of his hatred for Afro beat, Afro beat is 💯 lyrical man don't die of heart attack if you don't understand the lyrics ask a Nigerian for explanation.
E pain am die
He makes a lot of sense when he speaks
Afro beats it’s marketed like pop music it’s palatable to everyone and every age group. That’s why it’s exploded and is actually not a fad and creating superstars. The it’s basically cemented itself as a new permanent genre like Latin dancehall they took it and turned it into mainstream by removing the vulgarity out of it.
One love from Uganda 🇺🇬 .. Rodney chatting facts, as an African. I approve him statements
Uganda don’t make Afrobeat so you will definitely approve his statement clown
