To those who argue that\u00a0hiplife<\/em>\u00a0music is\u00a0dead<\/em>, Grandpapa, Reggie Rockstone says the genre is still much alive .<\/p>\n

Reggie Rockstone was having a Q & A session on Twitter, and when asked whether he agrees that Hiplife is fading because of the emergence Afrobeat, <\/p>\n

He said, <\/p>\n

\u201d NOPE JUS A NATURAL EVOLUTION AND BECOS ALL ARE AFRICAN IT ALL BECOMES SEAMLESS! (Hip life is not dead. It\u2019s under the radar. The Hip Hop beat structure and the Highlife Rhythm cadence lyrically or percussive-wise is hella Ghanaian very powerful and respected)35<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On whether Afrobeat originated from Ghana and should be patented as such, Reggie Rockstone said, <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201d AFROBEAT HAS ITS ROOTS AND ORIGINS EXACTLY FROM WHERE THE TERM \u201cAFRO\u201d COMES FROM! A SLANG FOR AFRICA! IT COMES FROM AFRICA BY AFRICANS! UNCLE FELA IS AS AFRICAN AS YAW ASANTE! HE CAME TO GH MUCH AND SUM BAND MEMBERS WERE GH! PANAFRICAN TO THE BONE! <\/p>\n
