Soca is definitely a genre that the upper class participates in the Caribbean, to participate in carnival culture isn't cheap, the production of the shows are elite.

[@FatKid172]

Carnival or “playing mas” is upper class but the actual music is the everyday mans music in the rest of the Caribbean bro it’s only Jamaica where soca is uppity . Trust me I travel up and down the islands

[@AndreBeckford]

There’s a frightening trend with all of these young artists and producers you’re interviewing. You are hitting them with big facts about the decline of dancehall’s presence in the world, and dem can’t defend or have a solid debate with you. If dem can’t do that, how dem a go bring back dancehall to glory days?

[@damionwillis3072]

Catchy lyrics/songs that's what afro beat is doing 👌

The more I see these young people true personalities through these lens the more I realize how far they are drifting from reality. The comfort and satisfaction they develop from views, likes and shares is beyond me..

[@90sdancehallkid40]

True words Mrs.Barrett

[@Reemdonn]

You can't tell people what "reality" is suppose to be for them, they're making money off those "views, likes and shares" and that's why they are so comfortable with it, you think if them did bruk and hungry dem woulda be as comfortable as they are saying this type of shit? Not everybody has to be a Shaggy or a Sean Paul, some people just want to make enough money to be happy and that's it, I don't even know why people are competing to do with the people before us did, just let them have it

[@deandrajohnson-barrett1364]

@@Reemdonn hey we could go back and forth with this and based on your views we won’t see “eye to eye” on this and that’s fine.. These are my opinions and reality is reality I guess that’s why you have so many people changing genders because we are keep confusing what’s real from what’s fake.. in my statement I never said their achievements are not merited I spoke on the influence of the media and how invested the society has become in it.. He made a statement that “the sound of the music doesn’t matter, it’s the traction that it picks up (not exact words)” That means as long as u sharing the music that’s what they care about. Money might be the greatest value for you n some others but some people don’t feel that way.. and that’s why everything they create will be temporary, it will lack substance and longevity.. And just because someone has money doesn’t mean they are happy or comfortable..

[@86keno]

Deandra well said......Man dem put a beat together to man voice pan it ina dem bedroom it play on Tictoc, youtube all of a sudden dem a dah biggest producer or artist........

[@Reemdonn]

@@deandrajohnson-barrett1364 I don't totally disagree with your point, but one of the main things I have a problem with is because most people tend to speak about "music not crossing over" or "not doing what this person did" and things of that nature, but I feel like that should not be the case, because times change, it's simply just not as easy to do what shaggy, Sean Paul, Elephant Man, ect did back when they got the shine, as this yute said, it's not a phone call away, I don't know if that's necessarily the point you were trying to get at, but that's usually the case with people who say things about the likes and all that

[@djshuggz3231]

Several recent dancehall projects nuh mix/master good….dat a 1 of the biggest problems why the reach limited

[@tiffiebrownie4780]

24:48 the way me scream 😂😂😂😂

[@tp213]

Dancehall has lost its reach because its no longer a distinct music. If you listen to the riddim alone, just the instrumental, you wouldnt be able to tell if you were listening to dancehall or hip hop. People are also looking for feel good music right now which is why afrobeats is winning- dancehall and hip hop are too dark for the most part. Afrobeats is also winning because it is a unique sound due to its blend of the best of hip hop, dancehall, r&b, and african music.

[@WizCiva]

Yo Mac right about skillibeng

[@benja303]

Jai can see the bigger picture clearer than the artists and producers. Crazy

[@christinaseymour4450]

[@dwayneboothe6349]

G you start a do the interview them an a come with a dictator style russian a russian but as a producer a man might believe inna himself and him work an know say one day him thing ago crossover if a that him a seek fi achieve. G alot of things you nuh understand about the music especially on the inside aspect of it. Fi dancehall go international bro it ago tek alot of things to make it happen g an one of the main thing is money bro INVESTORS the music need if not you affi give it TIME G remember is a new sound dancehall music gone to now it ago take a time to reach the listerns ears. G nuh feel nuh way either because me respect yuh work.

[@Affro876]

The rasta bredda need fi turn a artist cause....

[@ramonnelson7007]

Dancehall needs structure and once it has structure then more money will be made however because you have so much disconnect then the music different.

Man dem (artists,producers) are making THEIR art... if it wah do numbers or not is fi dem craft. None a them never say dem a come inna dancehall fi save dancehall or try be like nuh next man. Before reggae did buss man dem did haffi try a thing dont?...my point is nothing happens overnight and all who a criticize the man dem lyrics not making music or doing anything to make dancehall bigger. Also if soca never big you wouldnt have carnival in miami, Toronto and nuff a the caribbean. Afro beats nave a global festival like Soca does
