(Dancehallmag)- Veteran Dancehall deejay Beenie Man has expressed annoyance that the genre simply isn’t the same anymore, because of the amalgamation of genres by young artists.
“We need to keep the authenticity of Dancehall, brethren,” the 48-year-old entertainer told UK-based radio presenter and DJ Robbo Ranx, as he questioned the effectiveness of merging international genres with Dancehall.
“Dancehall nuh authentic no more. Dancehall a HipHop, and short drop, and one next drop and wah other drop, and dem nah mek no one drop enuh. The youth dem nah gwaan bad…dem a gwaan like dem nuh learn. Yuh cyaa come inna a business weh yuh doe learn bout. Yuh cyaa come inna a business weh yuh nuh know bout. Yuh just come fi change a music, weh yuh nuh know bout yet? Dat nuh mek nuh sense,” the Girls Dem Sugar deejay added.
