Wise up ja, mi totally agree wid u brethen. Buoy sometime wen mi listen to man like mavado n busy signal u nuh affi wanda why jamaica so violent n wicked. Even tho u affi tek nuff tings inna consideration (pavaty, lack a appatunity etc) mi feel seh di dj dem weh promote gun violence contribute greatly to di violence inna wi society. N it ago get wus caw memba inna di 90s wen bounty use to come wid all im gun talk, u nuh c seh a now wi a reap di fruits a im campaign? Di bredda dem a get wickeda n wickeda. Mi memba a time wen oman, pickney n di elderly were spared from di brunt a violence, now everybaddy a dead. Mi shudder fi tink, when mi listen to mavado n busy, wha ja will be like five ten years down di line. Dem dj deh either nuh realise di influence dem have pan de unedycated getto yute dem weh naw nuh fadda fi guide dem annada way ar dem jus nuh r**s care. Dem av a unique appartunity fi influence di yute dem n look how dem a use it. Instead dem a help dem fi betta dem a teach dem fi bi gunman n a sing n a r**s gwaan like being a gunman is something BL***DCLATH cool. Mi wonda how all man like mavado sleep a nite knowin dat dem a contribute nat only to di demise a wi country but wi buoy pickney dem. No wonda jamaican ppl so aggressive caw di only conflict resolution wi kno is violence. Regardless tho, di safety a di nation n its citizens lies heavily pon di government who shoulda put a tap to di eep a F**KERY dem bredda deh a preach fra lang time.

wise up jamaicans have it clear.

Even though all thoughts posted are realities, everybody need to realize how much influence the music have on the youth... the artist have the capacity to embrace a revolutionary attitude without inciting murdering your neighboor.

wiseup and channel the energy towards the right target: the system not yur bredda.

Ey yo 'wise up jamaicans' you stupid or wha?- if an artist nah push wha de people wan hear - im cyan pass, im a guh fall off - people no listen dancehall for philanthropic reason alone. Roots, peace an love is good but after a time, you want to hear some rub a dub dancehall music! -

Music reflect life - if it no real de people can see through it an dem nah guh listen - Music reflects all parts of life -

You are clearly not a dancehall fan - dancehall artists express de world we live in - is de polytrick magicians who a tek de people dem money, live up in some big house, an nah do nuttin fe de people who need to change - do you undestand?

Music justs represents life, it cyan push one one message - de people wont buy it because dat is not real! Dat is what de bl**d cl**t polyticians try fe do when dem come up fe election.

A you a de one who need fe wise up!

as usual my mind is perplexed by common sense and it is this common sense that renders me superior to anyone whose is disgruntle. Can you just think for a moment and ask: why is it that jamaica is murder capital of the world? and who should be blame? one might answer that it is politics,citizen and poverty. those are all right, but i must say that i deeply belive that the artists in the music industry played a vital role in the escalating crime. How much murder happen in jamaica so far of this year? and how much Gun tunes has been. recorded by main stream artists? do you every listen completely to the words of songs from artist like movado. "murder yu likkle bredda pan yu furneral day, cut di new born throat". Yes th artists are role models and they should act like one. Killa i was watching a show that took place in montego bay. and killa was tell time dem the youth dem to wise up then after that he sings form spy yu fi di copper shot" come on killer yu need to wise up. artists look around you guys are important figures to the children of jamaica wise up.

fed fi go siddung!like floyd seh he's jus concerned about how it affects his radio play.i've been playing dancehall/reggae for some 22 yrs now.feud has always been apart of the music.from bob marley/peter tosh,general echo/brigadere jerry,papa san/stitchie,tenor saw/nitty gritty,ninja man/shabba,bounty/beenie and now we have mavado/alltel,busy signal/aidonia.there is sssssoooooooo much beef inna dancehall.there's alot that isn't in the public eye.but i always find it funny when alot of artist try to portray themselves as righteous when they are some of the biggest hypocrites.nuff a dem don't give back to their respective communities only their hangers on get wear n lef.everyone have good and bad,but most choose to highlight ONLY the bad.like it or not they talk about what they've done or seen happen.so what ppl want them fi do? talk about things thats not relevant to them? jamaica have bigger problems than jus artists.polutitions f up jamaica.what we all see now is jus a by product of all the years of polutitions manipulating ppl.so now the same guns they bring in is turning our streets into bloddy streets.i say if we want to change jamaica,start with the polutitions.
