LMAO I just been wondering why Jamaica doesnt get more credit lately

Why did you tell them the truth? It's ruining the false narrative they are running with

You not even industry man

Does any other group of people get told who the most important figures are in their culture by foreigners?

Dancehall dying in the mid 2010s and afrobeats taking over

If more dudes like skilli show up tho, it would revitalize the attention

Blud is waffling at an alarming rate

bring back gatekeeping

Tell me you’re cheesing fam

Somebody tweeted about Drake doing a version of the pop up with reggae artists and named him. Someone pointed that Sean don't fw Drake for waveriding

I saw that clip. Ahh man, crine

zach still putting overtime in here huh?

half of his posts are littered with racial micro aggressions and weird s***, he definitely gets a kick out of it

I can't front, I'm not tryna start no diaspora wars but I really do feel like the late 90s / 2000s dancehall wave clears all that s*** lol

• alt who got banned for racism

true punk for sure

I wondered for years how so many British punks ended up incorporating reggae influences and then saw an interview with Mick Jones of The Clash where he said all the lower class punk kids just lived in the same neighbourhoods as the Jamaican immigrants and would party together so there was alot of cross pollination. and the punk bands had only just started writing songs so they did reggae covers to pad out their set lists. felt they had more spiritually in common with them than the last dozen years of classic rock so it was either reggae covers or s***kicking rockabilly covers.

no I mean for the founding of rap music

Man, having a rotation of Capleton, Sizzla, Beenie Man, T.O.K., Elephant Man

No but we allow it sadly

I think that's the point @Valentine was making. Dancehall's popularity riding alongside the popularity of rap kept those roots strong. But it dying out makes newer generations forget

Ngl, first time I heard skillibeng I was mad confused

It was that wap wap wap joint

Early 2000s block parties was crazy if it was some Caribbean s*** cuz depending on where the partygoers were from you'd here either this or a reggaeton mix

he sold out a lil venue in his hometown that's so cute

yup, ska reggae and punk are all in that same pool crazy how even here in nyc we had bad brains, not exactly at the same time but same lineage

Hey Zachary, this is what the negus™️ were blasting back in the day:
