I'm tired of seeing people thinking that they are smart as fuck because they can do an hemiola on the piano roll... This is dumb and tiring.
I honestly don't know where the "polyrhythms are complex" meme come from. Polyrhythms are easy as fuck, I literally just learned to tap hemiola with my ass after 1 minute of reading an article about it : instaud.io/3zat
Are people saying that polyrhythms are complex because they want to make us believe that African music isn't completely bland and uninteresting? It seems to me that this is political, a way for SJWs of saying "pure African music isn't completely useless, checkmate bigot!", but as well as a way for people who simply lack skills to appear cultured and sophisticated when what they are doing isn't really impressive
Take some short drum sequence, move the hits about at random, and loop it. Literally anything becomes musically rhythmic if you loop it, so it's trivial to make advanced polyrhythms.

Ok, I agree. Indian and Indonesian polyrhythms are impressive, but African polyrhythms are very bland. Almost all of it is just 3:2, 3:4 and other things that a baby can tap. What I don't is why people always introduce people to polyrhythms by talking about Africans, instead of talking about it s use in Carnatic, Medieval(Ars Subtilor) or even Classical music. You can't tell me this isn't politically motivated. They are trying to push Africa culture on our childrens by using the media, so that they will accept all immigrants who come at our borders when tey will be adults. This is also why they made Black Panther.
Count it using the African method
Kpla Ka tu Ka
Kpla denotes when both beats are together, "Ka" denotes the three alone and "tu" denotes the 2.
