How the hell has there still not been a famous Somali male RnB singer?

[CaliTedesse]

The world has something against us, look at Amal nuux trying to get famous, chunkz, the Toronto rapper's etc there's so many Somalis who are talented artists but there's some force that's stopping them from getting up there in the game. I've actually wondered the same thing... Knaan was the closest to get famous but he disappeared.

Somali men are not handsome enough for RnB or even pop you need to attract female fans not scare them away.

Which somali rappers?

 

[Tukraq]

Waa Farax ruun he came out of prison recently? Right? Posing with guns ain’t a wise decision. If he did that in the U.K. he would be jailed. Forreal dawg.

half a mill bond, he still has a court date lol

1. RnB was big in the 90s and early 00s, Somalis of age at the time were still qaxooti struggling to blend into society.

2. Musicians choose RnB and HipHop as a career so they have to spend months and years at the studio, the lazy Somali won't invest his or her time into that.

3. RnB and HipHop was a big part of Black Culture which Somalis did not relate to. Somalis did not grow up on the East Coast or West Coast or any of the Major cities where it was popular so they had nothing to work with.

4. Grime and Rap is the easy way out, they were all former trappers who made it from a Youtube Stint e.g. LinkUp Tv or Soundcloud. Plenty of known and underground Mali rappers big in the game.

there are many somalis on the east and west coast lol, some of our biggest populations are Seattle,dmv, daygo, Maine and Boston, let alone those in the midwest and down south in Memphis and Atlanta

Simple, western Somalis don't live in major American areas that are heavily influenced by RnB.

Also, for those trolls who say you need looks to get into RnB then I suggest you search up Joji. He's an ex-comedian who isn't famous on looks but purely talented which is why he had the biggest RnB hit. Not to say Somali men are ugly ofcourse since that would be a retarded statement and not all Somali men look the same but just to prove that talent wins.


Also, RnB is shit lol.

This is my favorite somali R&B singer

Yep....you're definitely Rieko

 

[Arma]

RnB, along with rap/hip-hop, is black culture. Since we Somalis aren't Black, why should there be Somali singers of these genres?

There are many hiphop and RnB artists that are not black. It has nothing to do with race mate.

A lot of Somali guys just don't have the sauce unfortunately.

 

[Waaqo of Punt]

This is why I like Ethiopians more they are progressive unlike Somalis and Western ones are aesthetically superior to their limitrophes, the Somalis.

Word. They've got Amine, Teddy Afro and Mohamed Wardi (legends) and Nipsey (Eritrean but same shit). Deno is another Eritrean who blew tf up in the UK and the nigga's only 16 years old. Even the Ethio music market is huge.

Their diaspora is small compared to ours but they still put out quality singers. Respect.

Somali yutes in UK chase drill and only make one banger one time and the rest of their songs are trash. lol. GeeYou is the only decent one

 

[Waaqo of Punt]

you said physically superior, that can't be the case when your 5'5 sxb I'm sorry, even women out height them

:siilaanyolaugh: they're average height sbx. Did Ethios attack ur qabil or summ?

 

[XamarWeeaboo]

XamarWeeaboo this is why I respect you bro you always try to give a decent answer relating to the topic at hand akhi . Let me get back to you point 1 is very wrong. I know many brothers that have great voice for singing, plus there are enough tools to enhance voices.
2 Singing and music is not frowned upon if it is Somali but it is if it is English lol that is true.
3 That is true hooyo macaan, Somali mothers are best but that is still not good reasons because if that was case many Somali brothers would not join drugs, gangs etc. ma fahamtay.

Ha wa fahamti sxb. Thanks for clearing that up. As for the drug thing you mentioned, I can only point the blame at the home life. A farther that's hardly ever there for the kid to look up to, leading to some familial issues later on down the line and mothers who are doing everything, resulting in the kids not getting as much attention as they should. This results in the gang culture and way of life being seen as a "manly" and "cool", essentially filling the farther's role and causing the kid to jump down this rabbit hole.

Mohammed Wardi was Nubian from Sudan.
