But it just feels good through 516 00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:58,880 Speaker 2: that whole time. Absolutely. 517 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 4: Yeah. I always just say, like music, different genres are 518 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 4: for different purposes. You know, you listen to aphrobeats, but 519 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,160 Speaker 4: I'm sure you still listen to R and B of course. 520 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,159 Speaker 4: You know, I'm sure you're not going to like be like, 521 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 4: oh yeah, R and B is dead. 522 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:14,440 Speaker 2: No. 523 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:19,120 Speaker 4: You know, there's different moods, different times. There's a time 524 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 4: that you might feel like you want to play reggae, 525 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,639 Speaker 4: you know, and feel that vibe. It's just for different 526 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,119 Speaker 4: it's for different purposes. 527 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,359 Speaker 5: Did you see Boujou Bontan on Drink Champs and he 528 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 5: criticized the afrobeat He said as shallow and unsubstantial music 529 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,360 Speaker 5: that lacks content aim at liberating Africa. 530 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:46,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, so that's exactly what I just said. Like, reggae 531 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:50,359 Speaker 4: is not aphrobats. Aphrobeats is not R and B. 532 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 1: It's not rock. You know, reggae is for a certain purpose. 533 00:27:56,359 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 4: You know, aphrobats thinking about the origin, which is Nigeria, 534 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,640 Speaker 4: It's for a certain purpose. It's for the Nigerian people 535 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:08,920 Speaker 4: now if you like aphrobeats from the outside, do you understand? 536 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:10,919 Speaker 7: You you. 537 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,399 Speaker 4: Like, you can join us in the enjoyment of it. 538 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 4: But aphrobeasts was tailored for Nigerian people originally. Do you 539 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 4: understand it? Uplifts the Nigerian people. Do you understand? So 540 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:28,920 Speaker 4: I wouldn't look for something. If I'm looking for something 541 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 4: in reggae, I cannot expect to find the same thing 542 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,920 Speaker 4: in afro beasts because it's not tailored for the same people. 543 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 2: So aphrobeats originated in Nigeria. Yes, I didn't know that. 544 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 1: You didn't know that. 545 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 4: DJ When I would go to South Africa, you say 546 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 4: the music South Africans.
