      Let us get it Do Gambian folks sound Jamaican like he does in his songs?

      @abzabz5824 Před 4 lety +6

      Frenchy Ball no, my parents have the Gambian accent and I don’t cause I came to the UK when I was young. We don’t sound Jamaican. It’s just a typical African accent but not like the Nigerian one.

      Charmaine Appiah I'm east african myself. Why on earth is it embarrassing to be african? This is truly sad and shameful. In order for others to see africa in a good image, we have to start embracing ourselves first. May sound hella corny but its just facts.

    • @charmaineappiah4070
      @charmaineappiah4070 Před 6 lety +13

      Wynapse O for me I was never like them who did that. The way us and the uk present Africa in such a negative images of poor kids with flies up the noses and Red Nose Day. People didn't like that and the other kids who where from Jamaica (not all) didn't make it easy.

    Before the uprise of Afrobeats in 2012/2013 Africans claimed to be Jamaican because Jamaicans had/have a superiority complex against Africans. But thanks to Nigerians and Ghanaians things have changed. All of a sudden its cool to be African and everyone's proud.

    @triplestagedarkness2619 Před 6 lety +73

    It's not Jamaicans fault for Africans being ashamed back then. The reality is some of us as Afro descendants to an extent were all ashamed and ignorant. We didn't want to be associated with that continent that the western media and world portrayed as being backward, poverty, disease ridden and hopeless among other things. Not everyone felt that way though. Some people knew better.
    Also if you look at the uk music scene grime especially there's loads of Africans involved right from the beginning so the idea that there was this great shame ain't really the reality.

    It's so interesting to see brotha in the UK have the same goal as we do here. They have gone through the same racist bullshit , but are rising above it just like us. just reminds me of the words of Marcus Garvey... Wether you are from Atlanta or Africa, Harlem or Haiti... We are all one people. Mad 💘 J Hus. Stay positive and,keep the music coming, brotha. I'll keep listening and supporting. One day they'll realize it's about content not color. One day they'll stop blaming our music for the violence we're all responsible for. Hang in there and, Mad 💘 from the U.S.

      I remember when Stormzy came out and won a grime award I was baffled because I first thought of him as a rapper, but now I'd say he's a grime artist. But J Hus I ain't heard even one grime sounding thing from him, and I listen to quite a bit of his stuff because I rate him.
