Why aren't Jamaican Dancehall artists blowing up like spanish reggaeton artists have the past year?

American artists have appropriated their sound and made it more platable to American audiences. African Americans did to Jamaicans what white Americans do to them.

These dudes confused about who fathered whose style

It's seasonal music. Trinidadians don't even play it like that outside carnival time.

New dancehall is trash. It sounds to pop and back in the 90’s when you had capleton, Beenie, Buju, bounty, and sizzla they would dabble in both reggae and dancehall tracks and would talk about conscious shyt. Now it’s all ya p*ssy tight blah blah shyt. Damn near pornhub music.

Word? Didn't even know that. I thought white people would love it off due to the fact they love EDM.

Afrobeats has surpassed dancehall in musical quality the past few years.

If Kartel didn't get locked up, he probably could've ate in this eccentric era. He was already cult status to the point that VICE hipster cacs knew bout him...a lot of the dancehall artists out now aren't original enough to have a following on that level.
