Entertainment – Afrobeats And Afrobeat: The Real Difference In The Genres
Afrobeat and Afrobeats may sound alike, but there are two different genres of music. Although the disparity, the salient influences are conspicuous. Afrobeats vs Afrobeat: Many people think Afrobeat and Afrobeats are the same, especially with the dissemination of African music to new listeners beyond the shores of the continent in recent times. Music from Africa is diverse and inclusive, led by genres of various regions. These include; the Amapiano of the South, Bongo Flava of the East, Chaabi of the North, Afrobeats of the West, and Soukous of the Central Region of the continent. However, popular African music in recent years is often being tagged as “Afrobeats” by the giants of the global music industry and some music fans as well, disregarding the uniqueness and originality of the various genres inaccurately or purposefully classified under it. The recently launched Billboard U.S. Afrobeats chart is a perfect example, a non-Afrobeats record like ‘Kwaku The Traveller’ by Ghana’s Black Sherif, the 5th song on the chart has been boxed in the same category as ‘Finesse’ by Pheelz, on a supposed ‘Afrobeats‘ chart. Observations like these prompt the question: Is Afrobeats more of a culture than a genre? (A topic for another day). “Before Abraham, there were men,” permit me to use these words. Prior to Afrobeats, African music has been consistently taking shape, legends like Fela Kuti, Sir Victor Uwaifo, Miriam Makeba, King Sunny Ade, Youssou N’Dour, Sunny Okosun, Brenda Fassie amongst others have been exhibiting the beauty of African music at different levels. During the aforementioned area, the ‘Afrobeat’ genre was a major player in the African music sphere, and its major proponent was the legend, Fela Olufela Olusegun Oludotun Ransome-Kuti popularly known as Fela Kuti. Developed in the late 1960s, it had a salient influence on the contemporary Afrobeats style.

Facts – Keeping Milks Fresh With Frogs
Long before modern refrigeration, people in Russia and Finland reportedly placed living Russian brown frogs in milk to keep it fresh. It turns out the curious practice has a basis in science: Recent research on the amphibians’ skin secretions led by Moscow State University organic chemist A.T. Lebedev shows they’re loaded with peptides, antimicrobial compounds as potent against Salmonella and Staphylococcus bacteria as prescription antibiotic In modern times, many believed that this was nothing more than an old wives’ tale, But researchers at Moscow State University, led by organic chemist Dr Albert Lebedev, have shown that there could be some benefit to doing this, though of course in the end you’ll be drinking milk that a frog was in. Ice boxes first became available to consumers in the early to mid-19th century and, with that, the ice trade became big business, New England and Norway became major purveyors of ice, but anywhere it was cold, ice was a major export. Usually made out of wood with tin or zinc walls and insulation material like sawdust, cork, or straw, ice boxes were popular until they were rendered obsolete by the electrical refrigerator starting around the 1930s. Jacob Perkins invented the first version of the refrigerator in 1834 when it was discovered that the hazardous compound ammonia, when liquefied, had a cooling effect. But it wasn’t until the late 1920s when Freon was developed by General Motors and DuPont as a “nontoxic” cooling agent, and replaced ammonia, that refrigerators for consumers started to gain traction. Despite the prevalence of ice in parts of Russia, in certain small rural Russian villages many didn’t have access to ice boxes, so they had to find ways to keep things cold and unspoiled, A practice developed, that continued into the 20th century, as described by Dr Lebedev from memories from his childhood.
Facts – “Buttload” Is A Measurement Of Volume
Buttload is a regional English measure of capacity of a heavy cart (a butt), containing 6 seams, or 48 bushels, equivalent to 384 gallons. The Old French “bot” referred to a barrel or wineskin (same origin as bottle—a small bot), and was itself derived from the Latin “buttis” or cask. A standard butt held two hogsheads (108 to 140 gallons). Thus, a butt-load would commonly be four butts, or somewhat over 450 gallons. You’ve probably heard of the very precise, scientific unit of measure called the “buttload.” Usages might include, “I’d love to hang out, but I have a buttload of homework tonight.” Or, “I cleaned out my closets and dropped off a buttload of clothes at the thrift store.” But where did this particular butt-based unit of measure come from? No, You Started It Some assert that “buttload” was first used in print in the novel “Los Angeles Without a Map” by Richard Rayner in 1988, and that it’s chiefly used in the United States. Fair enough. But what about its close yet more vulgar cousin, sh*tload? Merriam-Webster has that one going as far back as 1954, but they still blame Americans for it. The Brits had cleaned this one up by the 1990s, exchanging it for “shedload.” As long as we’re looking up words, what about “boatload?” Could that have led to the “buttload” phenomenon? Maybe, but boatload has been in use since at least 1625, when it was used by explorer John Davis as recounted by Samual Purchas in “Purchas His Pilgrims.” It really does just mean the number of people a boat can hold, and there don’t seem to be any clear lines between boatload and buttload across more than 400 years. But There Is a Butt While “buttload” may be a rough estimation of a large amount, there is a unit of measure for mass called a butt. It’s an old unit first used in medieval times, but it’s hardly more precise than “buttload.” A butt is a cask that holds liquids, like a barrel. It could contain anywhere from 108 to 140 gallons (409 to 530 liters), which is indeed a lot. But it’s probably not the origin of “buttload,” as there don’t seem to be any connections between a medieval barrel in Britain and the use of the term in late 20th-century America.
Facts – Tupac was born in Harlem,New York
Tupac was born on June 16, 1971, in Harlem, New York. He was an American rapper and actor who came to embody the 1990s gangsta-rap aesthetic, and who in death became an icon symbolizing noble struggle. His mother, Afeni, was raising two children on her own and struggled for money. The family moved homes often, sometimes staying in shelters. They moved to Baltimore, where Tupac enrolled at the prestigious Baltimore School for the Arts, at which he felt “the freest I ever felt.” His Baltimore neighborhood was driven by crime, so the family moved to Marin City, California. His love for hip hop steered him away from a life of crime for a while, at least . At 17, in the spring of 1989, he met an older white woman, Leila Steinberg, in a park. They struck up a conversation about Winnie Mandela. Shortly after, Shakur took to the streets, selling drugs and becoming involved in the gang culture that would one day provide material for his rap lyrics.He joined Digital Underground in 1990 , an Oakland-based rap group that had scored a Billboard Top 40 hit with the novelty single “The Humpty Dance.” Shakur performed on two Digital Underground albums in 1991, EP Release and Sons of the P, before his solo debut, 2Pacalypse Now, later that year.With increased fame and success came greater scrutiny of Shakur’s gangsta lifestyle which lead to alot of legal issues and gang battles with eventually lead to his death on the on the evening of September 7, 1996 in Las Vegas which was crossed a drive by homicide as results for gun wounds investigations concluded this incidence happened as a result of the rivalry between the East and the West Coast .
