<p>Jamaican entertainer Bounty Killer believes that a large
percentage of the music being released by up-and-coming artistes is not dancehall.
Instead, he said that they have been doing trap and hip hop.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>His comments come after American pop star Jason Derulo released <strong><a href="https://buzz-caribbean.com/article/jason-derulo-samples-murder-she-wrote/">Too Hot </a></strong>last month. The song samples Chaka Demus and Pliers’ <strong>Murder She Wrote</strong>, which was produced by Sly and Robbie and included on Chaka Demus and Pliers 1993 album, <strong>Tease</strong>. The music to <strong>Murder She Wrote</strong> is based on the Maytals' 1966 song, <strong>Bam Bam</strong>.</p>

<p>“Y’all know how long ago the Bang Bang Riddim came out? From in the mid-60s. I think [it is a] Toots Hibbert hit song, and it is being sampled today simply bcuz it still has its own identity,” Bounty Killer said on Instagram recently.</p>

<p>He then advised the younger acts to learn the history
of dancehall.</p>

<p>Bounty Killer said: “We be listening too much trap
crap and rap on BET/MTV. Unuh better go resort to YouTube and go learn the
history, bcuz can anyone of these new riddims and the fine voice singjay up
inna nose nasal thing cross internationally?” </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Many of his followers agreed, stating that authentic
dancehall rhythms need drum and bass. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>However, dancehall artiste Xyclone had a rebuttal.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>“Every era has their own sound and identity though.
And five years from now the music will change again… Burna Boy song <strong>Destiny</strong>
did the same to Blak Ryno song on his album, and it’s new generation dancehall,”
he said.</p>
