Bounty Killer afrobeats have no lyrics

What's good fam, I ran into this interview of legendary Dancehall artiste Bounty Killer. He gave his views on the state of Dancehall music and other views. What caught my attention was his opinion on Afrobeats, he said it had style and topic but no lyrics! Burna Boy who is the current leader in the genre also confirms this statement. Rema who also had amazing success also confirmed that certain songs don’t need much lyrics. My viewis that some genres are not made to be super lyrical but more of a get away from the complexities of life i.e. Afrobeats and Soca. Today’s music artists are not focused on complicated lyrics, but more so on a vibe and having fun. What’s your thoughts ?

He isn't jealous. He was comparing the state of dancehall and how it is going down because it is too lyrical. He was praising afrobeat and showing how they don't have lyrics its more topic and style, because the beat pretty much carries the song. And lets be clear, the new afro beat comes from the black western sounds and rhythm. It's a mix of all the genres from African American music.

Dancehall being too lyrical!? Dancehall was *ALWAYS LYRICAL* go listen to some 80s and 90s Dancehall. Dancehall currently bare have any new content just a bunch a songs wid almost di same things

[@lincolnikikiru4156]

The way he said it his body language and tune of voice his attitude and Mannerism such otherwise that there is an element of jealousy there

[@SpaceMercer]

@@lincolnikikiru4156 one of the great things about being a human is that we can verbalize our thoughts and communicate effectively, so we don’t have to solely rely on things like “body language and tone”. If you know Bounty Killer, you would know that he is aggressive by nature.

He’s not jealous

[@leonardcann6645]

He's jealous. Look how he mocked Burna Boy. Stop the fn 🧢

Mr. Price is spot on. I'm from a West Africa, Gambia. Bounty Killer; down inna di ghetto weh di poor no have a thing and di politicians is di guns dem a bring, and all a di crack and coke it a .... Big up yuself Killa

[@shamlawrence6444]

Why do black people always think only one can be on top? We don't have to fight against each other, the landscape is big enough for Reggae and Afrobeat to be on top. Lets support each other's music ❤

[@mystikraindroptv7767]

The Killer has spoken❤

[@user-ke2hv9bf4q]

No lyrics but the music is our original Africa mother tongue. Not a borrow tongue. No case to answer

[@user-lw3qv8dw8h]

Whoever you are Reggae and Dancehall is created in a small island in the Region of the Caribbean that's Jamaica all of a sudden Dancehall popular in Africa no other nation in the world could ever originate Jamaican music so please keep singing in your tongue we don't care

[@thekusiwaa]

lyrics or no lyrics it's here to stay we listen to it tor the vibes (freeing our souls and relaxing)so stop the hate🇬🇭♥️

[@khoranallah-bey7917]

Excellent topic. Dope background track👌🏿

[@kingwiseafun7435]

Some afro beat songs do have good lyrics but the majority of them care more about the melody and the groove. Check out Olivetheboy and Stonebwoy for instance. Even some of Burna and Davido songs are loved because of how the Lyrical contents relate to the masses listening.

[@ctbt1832]

Dancehall did this to themselves. they can fix it if they collaborate like they used to instead of having personal problems and beefs with everyone

[@grant-i2e]

Its about the beat and the vibe, we don't even understand each other languages

[@mohamedconteh1885]

In afrobeat we don't care about lyrics, it's a vibes, great beat, sweet melody....if you need sound with real lyrics go listen to KAO DENERO FROM SIERRA LEONE, LYRICAL JOE FROM GHANA, M.I ABAGA FROM NIGERIA, NASTY C FROM SOUTH AFRICA, KHALIGRAPH JONE FROM KENYA......afrobeat genre is to kill our stress and enjoy great moment ...noted that.

[@SaidouJawo-d9f]

Most of Dancehall vybz is all about Killing and did dancehall fill up this venues Afro beat is filling up now people are going for what makes them feel joy and happy and there some songs in Afro beat that tuch heart of people soo emotional you don’t listing to Afro beat that’s the problem 😅

[@senfukaclinton8910]

But much staff is copied from dancehall to afro yuh zheet

[@alphaomarbarry6511]

He is damn right im African but it's true

[@DamionMorris-ph9vx]

Good review

[@jamman8678]

Bounty has a point but still when it comes to performance some times it’s hard to remember a lot. Plus the style of music also matters.

[@SherlanRoland]

Yow yow yow artists of today dnt really do de lyrics ting like we grew up on, I honestly feel it's more abt Beats today hence the name " AFROBEATS " Heard a gospel trk with the lyrics Something good good is happening this Yr and I am grateful tht I made here. Yow the first time I heard tht trk it was going frm tht verse to the chorus and repeating the same thing over and over and over until the trk ended, several months after I found a version with another verse and I was like wow where the hell did this trk come frm but it's more abt beats to me today well hey thts wht I think.

[@user-se1ff2in5t]

In other words he means Afro beat is simple you don’t have to be a lyricist jus simple verse and melody

[@senfukaclinton8910]

And so that why shaggy n sea Paul are leading till now internationally

[@WeekieJah]

He wasn’t dissing Afrobeats

[@gpvoyeur]

To say Afrobeats doesn’t have lyrics is strange. Just because Afrobeats artists sing in African languages and pidgin Englishes that means Afrobeats doesn’t have lyrics? What an odd thing to say.

[@uchennanwadili]

Afrobeats has alot of lyrics

[@paulinewalker-miller6545]

You guys are incorrect, Rema wasnt referring to song Calm Down, he was referring to another song. I was born in Jamaica and some reggae lyrics dont mske sense but beat make it popular

[@ytipvlog]

Interesting perspective.

[@tino_baba]

First sane and out of the box thinking. Burna and Bounty my mentors I do new revulsion amapiano dancehall music. Check me out. You ll not regret listening to my song. Enough respect for the culture and for my people. ONE LOVE ❤️!! AFRICA UNITE. AFRICA IS ZION.

Reggae songs?? Please tell me those songs!

[@kerbrainbrain9174]

​​​@@ytipvlogelephant man drop a song called "pop me collar" since this summer. listen to it and tell what you think. If it over kill with lyrics or the vybz. it's spot on.

[@lanrem6609]

listen to common man by burna Boy ... then tell me there is no lyrics... jealous is not good.

[@OmiOneandOnly-gk5sx]

But Burna boy said the same thing

[@jazzymars30]

Burnaby boy said it himself 😅you're definitely a classic 😊 🤡

[@beckton11]

Bounty Killers Audience have a much higher attention span than Burna boys Audience But the fans of Bounty killer are not looking for the same things as Burna Boys Audience And fans of both artists want different things Also this Vibe music is designed to keep you mindless similar to mumble rap it keeps you chilled and passive Bounty Killer is the WARLORD we're In Generation Snowflake so they appeal to different people

[@simonlubega2184]

At the end of the day it's not about Bounty killa what he said so its about what people really wants to listen to

[@seentiaoba9032]

Lyrics or no lyrics let people choose what they want to hear😅

[@jamman8678]

Jamaicans took the African drumming including the Nyabingi drumming. Dance hall is African drums. Rap is an African art what’s wrong with some people

[@JusDion]

willlie lynch is still hanging us. light skin vs dark skin young vs old women vs men lyrics vs lyrics any way we can be made to disagree we will be defeated and take steps backwards.

[@stanleyassor3172]

Bro, the idea that Afrobeats doesn't need lyrics is crap. Afrobeats has been cheapened by people who put quick money first rather than quality music and in the log run, Africa will lose if we don't get our act right. Why is it that when it comes to Africans we re comfortable with being associated with mediocrity? Afropop could have a future if we do it riht, but if we continue this way, its only a matter of time before K-Pop takes over, and bro, K-Pop is already asserting itself very well in the biggest music markets in the world, like the US, the UK and Japan

[@peterreid4435]

You hear? Afro Beats, simple melody and great vibes

[@shermapope6330]

sometimes too much words spoil the music

[@divinefonye6428]

The lack of awareness from him in that interview is wild…. A couple of artist don’t represent afrobeats …. Research awake, victory, bnxn,Omaha lay,olamide etc…. Rema is a clown ! U got to get a good sample size to draw a conclusion … could say the same about western music dancehall & hiphop

[@BB-wd4ly]

Yeah yeah yeah burna boy lol
