Trooper speaking some Facts!!!! Three things young artists need to do 1.) LEARN HOW TO RIDE EVERY RIDDIM 2.) GET ON LIVE STAGE SHOWS 3.) STUDY DANCEHALL FROM 80, 90 AND 2000

I agree on your second point only, drinking smoking weed and wearing tight pants is their "culture" which is for removed from real rock and the answer, it's like asking an up and coming white artiste to study Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra.

[@marcmarcello981]

@@instaspy509 it's past not pass, now why on earth would a 20/21 year old have any interest in hardcore/vintage riddims, personally I think they have reduced the music to rubbish but I am not silly enough not to understand evolution like it or not.

[@xilften1]

There is a reason why Sizzla, Beenie, Bounty, Buju, Capleton cannot retire and are still being asked to do Live streams and shows to represent Jamaica. There is a problem when 50 year old dancehall artists are in more demand than young artists. Big problem

And nuff of the younger artists can't carry melody and ride a riddim... They have rough, unrefined voices that only bad man and kids in the ghettos like because it's a hype ting... No actual Dancehall songs for the gyul dem to dance to
