Winner90: And yet Afrobeats is fast gaining traction all over the world? Music on its own is a universal language. Toronto, New York and London are the three most diverse cities in the world and whenever you enter a club in these cities, you must hear Afrobeats being enjoyed by those that that do not understand a word of it. Even without any words/lyrics at all, people still enjoy instrumentals alone. You know why, because shockingly, lyrics doesn't have as much importance in music as sound does. The most widely definition of music is "an organized sound", so words are secondary. Words are only primary to poems where sound is secondary. Any educated person knows this. So if you think people won't enjoy afrobeats because of the language, then think of the people that enjoyed Makosa even without understanding a word. Think of the the fact that American musicians used to sing in AAVE which is considered inferior and yet we all enjoyed it. Think of the fact that reggae was and is still in Jamaican Patois (thier own version of pidgin) and yet, it's enjoyed all over the world. It's OK if you don't enjoy afrobeats, but pidgin is one of it's defining factors and has been from day one. 4 Likes |

2pacarnate: I am asking you again if Lil Wayne is a new school rapper because I am aware Lil Wayne was in a group called the HOT BOYS who released their first album in 1997. As for your assumption of my age I want you to know that one of the first albums I bought with my money was THE SUGARHILL GANG big single called Rappers delight in 1980. That should tell you I was there from the beginning. You are talking to a hip hop head . |

rapcy: I'm a big music lover. And I cut across several genres and eras of music. The burna boy is just Soo stupid and disrespectful to all that made him. Without the afrobeats platform, he would never have gone this far. He is sooo wrong, cos not all songs or genres are meant to make sense with lyrics. Some makes sense bar/line. And some are just about rhymes and the beats. Making those beats is an art in itself. That being said, the last burna boys album, Love Damini had some very very intelligent songs. There were some songs on that album that neither Davido or wizkid have gotten close to, interms of Class & world-standard. 1. Science. 2. I wanna hold u so close(es Sheeran 3. Wild dream (Khalid) Davido is my best for last maybe 5years. But these 3songs I put there. Davido can't deliver such all round class&intelligence. An the songs in the Timeless Album were melodious. Sweet and you can play all songs on repeat all day. But none of the Timeless songs touched those 3 Burna Boy's songs I put up there. |

Basic123: Impossible. Burna Boy hasnât got the power to do that. The clubs and radios across the world are at this minute INCREASING their playing of Afrobeats, not decreasing it. Burna boyâs comments are totally irrelevant. He is just a small boy talking rubbish about Nigeria like he always does. 2 Likes |

Hussein035: Very well said. Burna Boy is stupid and senseless. He doesnât realise he is kicking himself in the foot by condemning the very genre the world recognises him by. Just stupid, thoughtless and dumb. Itâs like Snoop Dogg or 50 cent saying rap music is ânothingâ. Or Chris Rock saying RnB is ânothingâ. They would NEVER do that. What kind of stupid idiot and moro.n is this? Because you make big money you now turn stupid? 1 Like |

There are some atom of truth in what he has said especially if he includes himself as being from time to time a partaker of the disempowerment of afrobeats but props to him as even his low quota of music synonymous to our reality is still the highest in the music industry. The origin of felaâs afrobeats was 90% political issues and 10% flenjour. Our reality is the same as back then but somehow weâre having 90% flenjour and 10% political music. How has this happened? If you asked me I'd say the political elites realised how powerful music can be and as a precaution, they've weaned and filtered out the true political or rebellious sounds to the sewers, pushing forward the garbage we have now. It didnât happen by randomness, someone put conscious effort into making it so. If youâre looking for music close to our reality, please stream and listen to my song O.Z - Stalemate on audiomack https://audiomack.com/ozencore/song/stalemate Please like and comment on the songâ¤ď¸â¤ď¸ 2 Likes 1 Share |

Noneroone: Burna Boy should stop smoking weed, how do you expect this trash to come out from the mouth that feeds with Afrobeat, as in Burna Boy sings Afrobeat yet he calls it something that lacks substance, that means he admitted singing rubbish.
