South African rapper, Nasty C has posited that Afrobeats and Amapiano are better music genres than hip-hop.
According to Nasty C, Afrobeats and Amapiano consist of originality and melody compared to rappers who sample often.
Although he made this statement, he established that he would not switch genres.
“Afrobeats and Amapiano are better than Hip-hop. Like music-wise. Let’s call a spade a spade, man.
“I mean, of course, there are some (Afrobeats and Amapiano) songs where it is like autotune heavy, this n*gga not saying sh*t. He is just saying ny*sh a bunch of time. But live instrument rolls, original melodies, n*ggas who can actually sing, that is music, bro. Their music lasts forever.
“Hip-hop, we sample a lot. I’m not being ungrateful to hip-hop. I love hip-hop. I am hip-hop to the core. I am hip-hop till I die. But hip-hop, we out here playing this weird game where it is like everyone is fake rich, fake balling, fake gangster. I’m sick and tired of hearing n*ggas speaking about spending in songs. I’m like, ‘N*gga, you spending nothing. Shut the f*ck up.” Nasty C said.
