There are conscious tracks, but you gotta understand, most of them guys come from Upper Class backgrounds, so their experiences make it hard for them to draw from everyday struggles Africans face.

We gotta be the only people who think music can change our overall condition on this planet
Music was literally one of the few outlets our ancestors had to express their condition, hope for a better day and bring encouragement and use as a tool to fight the oppression they were experiencing.
Music is in our DNA and steeped in our history. You don’t know this?

We been past that. We not on the plantation anymore. We’re not going to collectively sing our way up the economic ladder.
Not sure about freeing anyone, but we can clearly see how the youth and dumb adults psyche's are imprisoned by toxic mindless hiphop

Breh!You should know better. Afrobeat is not the same as Afrobeats. Buju was talking about Afrobeats. Fela Kuti and the rest of your list is Afrobeat.
May you lose the jollof championship next year and Senegal reigns for the next 3 years.
Buju Banton wasn’t talking about Fela.
You need better reading comprehension.

You need better reading and listening comprehension. He talks about Afrobeats. And he mentions Fela Kuti and bigs him up. Fela Kuti is not Afrobeats.

-sigh-
Buju Banton was complaining about Afrobeats. Not Afrobeat (i.e. Fela).
What, you think Buju Banton was complaining about Seun Kuti? You thought this whole thread was Buju Banton complaining about modern Afrobeat?
Why did George Bush leave you behind in 'No Child Left Behind'?

Damn. Can you not read? I already said that. You're the one that conflated Fela Kuti with Afrobeats. Which is why I said Fela Kuti is not Afrobeats.-sigh-

What makes it worse is that at post #10 - which you originally quoted, I wasn't just describing Afrobeat. Lucky Dube and Mdou Moctar aren't Afrobeat or even Afrobeat artists. They're African artists who speak about pan-African themes. You don't even know who they are and assumed that they're Afrobeat a la Fela Kuti.
