Zim hip-hop and Zimdancehall music 2019 - (Discussion Thread)

[Queen]

Do Zim Hip Hop female artists sometimes face criticism for being over the top or too explicit since there is some form of censorship in Zimbabwe?

Yes, the interesting thing, on the contrary, is Zim folks will watch music videos from artists like Cardi B, Nicki Minaj or Megan Thee Stallion doing the same.

But folks won't have the amount of criticism if a female Zim Hip Hop artist does the same.

Things are changing and they have been changing fast because of social media and social networks so I don't see how Zim Hip Hop music will be able to maintain cultural values.

As of now many Zim Hip Hop and Zimdancehall artists are really into adopting everything from Western culture.

If someone wants to make Zim Hip Hop music or Zimdancehall music why don't they just focus on that instead of selling their body? This should be straightforward though.

The problem we discussing here is about Zim music critics who have double standards since more often than not people that castigate things in public are the ones watering the plants in private.

You are comparing Apples to Oranges. Cardi B, Nicki Minaj or Megan Thee Stallion derive their image from Western culture and that is not Chivanhu.

Zimbabwe's censorship is based on Chivanhu cultural norms, not American Western ways of doing things.

Yet you oans be the ones tuning Zimdancehall artists should go international but still, you don't want them to live the international lifestyle. ?

There shouldn't be NO NEED to be half-naked all the time just so people can listen to your music.

It’s called the 'entertainment industry' for a reason.

This is not about judging anybody, it is about doing the right thing, they have to choose whose side they are on, Chivanhu or Western Culture?

What's the name of the video vixen in Hillzy's — "Who Sent You?" music video?

That's too many artists and I am wondering how are all those Zimdancehall artists going to perform?

They will most likely be performing their top Zimdancehall songs maybe a song or two. And from there the next Zimdancehall artist will come live on stage until they are all done performing.
