If you start playing afrobeats in a spot. i'm going to leave.


But it being trendy enough to get spins on R&B/Hip hop stations might make some people feel like it's trying to bully it's way into a space that soca,dancehall,reggae simply never did.

How does a music genre bully another music genre

Most dance music(even if Black) can be very monotone and one note. Afrobeats isn’t excluded from this. That’s his point and many other peoples points when they say they don’t enjoy Afrobeats. Same can be said with Soca, Dancehall, Kompa, Reggaetone, Bad Bunny music. Even if you’re a person who “just wants to dance” a lot of those genres require you to know how to do intimate dance moves with a partner. You don’t listen to those genres and just get hyped and just vibe or jump around. It’s exclusively partner to partner dance music or even if solo it’s intricate dance music. That has no replay value outside of a very targeted space(the club/l lounge/wedding reception). It’s like if Cha Cha Slide or Cupid Shuffle type music was being pushed alongside rap by record labels and radio. They have their place but if you play that stuff right after Polo G or some ish, then yeah. Vibe killer.

If you were in metro NYC or other areas, you've heard dancehall acts get burn on Hip Hop stations over the decades.


Bun B mentions metro Houston fukking with reggae and dancehall heavy in his early career, so I'm sure the records got burn.


I'd have to believe that this has been the case in other metro areas over the decades.
Shabba, Supercat, Buju , Capleton, etc had hit records that played during Hip hop programming.
Shaggy, Maxi Priest, etc got burn during R&B programming

Nothing new about hits from other genres crossing over to hiphop/r&b radio
