Sizzla gets involved with Trinidad’s politics
Reggae star Sizzla Kalonji is being more vocal about Trinidad's politics than he was about the election in his own country.
In an article printed in the Trinidad and Tobago Express Sizzla says he fully endorses the move by the incumbent People's National Movement (P.N.M) to unite the nation's youth at the Beyond Youth Rally at the Queen's Park Savannah, Port of Spain, this weekend.
The artiste claimed to have no qualms about making that endorsement since it is in the best interest of the people.
Well he may have no qualms, but a quick scan at the comments at the bottom of the story showed the natives resentment to Sizzla's support.
According to one comment, "Please can we keep Jamaican musicians out of Trini politics. Next thing election time will be murder time."
Another Trini was more vocal in his criticisms, "Well, well, we really reach! The electoral process is being taken for a 'pappy-show.' Now foreign artists are being imported to "Endorse." What the hell Sizzla have to do with Trinidad and our politics? First of all he is Jamaican, let him endorse over there and besides with the quality of life in Jamaica I am pretty sure that with the amount of money he got from the P.N.M he would endorse anything. Well boy, U.N.C have
RITCHIE SPICE and P.N.M have SIZZLA this is a real "party election" huh? Who needs to discuss real issues when we could be wining and putting our lighters in the air, huh? Ridiculous, I am ashamed."
"As musicians, we are the voice of the people we are looking for the equal rights and justice for the people and I am not afraid to meet with the Minister and tell him what the poor people need to improve their lives," Sizzla said in the interview.
Tourism Minister Howard Chin Lee greeted the reggae chart-topper upon his arrival at Piarco International. Chin Lee, the chief organizer of the Beyond Youth Rally, said the initiative is about his party encouraging frugal thinking among the nation's youths.
Chin Lee said choosing Sizzla as their main act was not at all a response to the United National Congress bringing another Jamaican reggae chart-topper, Richie Spice, to their youth rally last weekend. "We have been planning this for three to four months now. What we're doing is bringing together a group of acts that the youth can relate to," Chin Lee said.
Well sah, a wonder what would have happened if Sizzla had been this active in Jamaica supporting programmes for the youths!

first let me speak in proper english so everyone can understand: BLACK PPL WILL NEVER REACH NOWHERE!!! ALL THIS HATING AGAINST ONE ANOTHER. TRINIDAD IS ANOTHER BLACK COUNTRY AS JAMAICA RIGHT? SO WHAT IF SIZZLA WANT TO ENDORSE THEIR POLITICTS? DOES THAT MEAN THAT JAMAICANS SHOULD STAY TO JAMAICANS..AND ALL OTHER BLACK COUNTRIES SHOULD STAY AMONGST THEMSELVES TOO? IF EVERY BLACK PERSON WORLDWIDE WOULD LEARN TO BRING UNITY AND LOVE AMONGST EACH OTHER ALL THIS CRIME AND HATRED WOULD NOT BE black on black crime. WE BLACK PPL HATE EACH OTHER AND THIS IGNORANCE NEED TO STOP....I MYSELF STAY FAR FROM CERTAIN BLACK PPL CUZ UNNO TOO BADMIND

Education without justice is slavery says the Black Christ in Flesh King Emmanuel the Seven Adoni I God Jah Rastafari. Black people in dealing with one another the Most Hon Prophet Marcus Garvey said
NEVER BE UNKIND TO YOUR RACE. NEVER CURSE YOUR RACE. IF ANYTHING IS BEING THAT IS WRONG BY A MEMBER YOUR RACE, TRY TO PUT HIM RIGHT. DONT CONDEMN HIM WITHOUT HEARING HIM. GIVE HIM A CHANCE TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT BEFORE YOU DENOUNCE HIM. IF HE PROVOKES YOU TRY TO PUT UP WITH HIS IGNORANCE AND PERSUADE HIM TO BE KIND
so black people we need to rise the standard as to how we perceive each other as a nation. we need to come out the colonial approach to life, no black america, no jamaican, no trinidad, no nigerian, as long as you are black we are just but one Ethiopian-African, Royal Black Sons ans Daughters of old, The House of Israelites...so in this time, as we look to fulfill prophecy and not have prophecy fulfill on us; we as black people have to come together, under the banners of love, the Red, gold and green, the red black and the green and move towards the fulfillment of Isaiah43; each man must find back his own vine and fig tree; africa for the africans at home and abroad; europe for the europeans, jamaica and all caribbean islands for the arawak indians.
so in this time black people we have to find back that creational love for one another, we need to find back our divine anciency that slavery, imperialism, colonialism and capitalism have tried to blot out I n I's mind.
anyhow i do give thanks and glorify that Sizzla would speak on a situation that affects the people and have nots; we also glorify that Richie Spice would do the same. As Rasta is it our duty to defend the right of the people.
Black Supremacy ever liveth. King Emmanuel The Seven Adoni I God JAh Rastafari.
Peace and love Rastafari brings. down with colonialism and the colonial heart.
BLESSED LOVE RASTAFARI

Blessed love, so much hatred, so much grudge. We as afrikans need 2 start looking at each other as a reflection of one's self and not as a people divided by white suppression thru different levels & aspects of education. If one's positive words can uplift a people or a nation, why shun it bcuz the person is a entertainer & not a politician or pastor. The same politicia can be a "political science major" u just don't know. One royal love.

Hi everybody... I am a Muslimn Hausa man from Niger republic in west africa. this is the second time I commenst here. The comments by my Jamaican brothers is really amazing...Sory to say it is very childish. Thanks to the wisest commentators who are RT Hon Empress, Kek, and Olaf Blackwood. They did great although I dont tink their wisdom will enter into the minds of the blind. Simply because Jamaica was made known and made loved by us due to the efforts of Rastafarians, who spoke and still speak the words of wisdom.But as Peter Tosh and Bob Marley once said "destruction of the soul is vanity". Just to be brief, let me say this, any conscious and righteous humanbeing should speak the truth and defend the poor and the weak any where on earth. There is nothing called politics when it comes to truth.It also amazes me to hear many saying sizzla got involved in politics and that rasta dont get involved in politics. Please my brothers n sisters of jamaica, make the distinction between politricks "as u perfectly call it" and righteousness... righteousness and word of truth should be spoken anywhere...and you the great Rastafarians, infact you should take over the government and rule with righteousness and equality. otherwise you would leave it in the control of the wicked to spread evil on earth..."how long shall they kill our prophets, while we stand aside and look?"...I am not a fan of Sizzla koz i don't take him as a root rasta playing roots reggae music. But the fact that he defended the poor and the needy in Trinidad is a righteous act that we must all appreciate. the Trinidadians are wrong to condemn sizzla and that shows they are just envious. we are to speak the truth any where...we have no concept of geographical boundaries on earth..especially in our black world...Every black country is for every black man and is your duty to criticize and interfere with the course of events there, be them political, social, economic, or military...it is your obligation.
Allah bless all of you my black brethren and sistern... and thanks again to RT Hon Empress, Kek, and Olaf Blackwood for their wise overstanding.

oh boy another back stabbing and small minded topic for the people who preach war.Sizzla is an artiste with a fan base that spreads widlely in the caribbean.He now has earned his right to speak to his fans be it musically or verberly so who are we to make up noise when he speaks out.I have only one question for this board someone please tell me how much tanya stevens was paid to sing one song in the st.lucia elctions in 2006.one song and it was all politics so stop all this rattling on for no reason.

BOY MW READ EVERY COMMENT, and the people them who have bad feeling toward what dada is doing is on drugs, and not regular drugs but that white man lab created drugs called the Willey lynch syndrome, look it up to get a better heights and overstanding, black people need to wake the frock up and smell the coffee, the herb, the oxygen, the nature of life in its entirety. read RT HON EMPRESS NOTES ITS AN UPLIFTMENT, READ ANY ONE MESSAGE THAT IS A POSITIVE MESSAGE AND LEARN FROM IT, BLACK Men, and BLACK Women, REALIZE, THIS IS NOT A JAMAICAN r TRINI THING IS ONE LOVE, ONE HEART if WE COME TOGETHER WE MUST FEEL ALRIGHT, SIZZLA GOOD MOVE, A MAN MENTION SAY IF SIZZLA SAY PNP A WAR, IF SIZZLA SAY JLP A WAR, SO U TELL ME y WOULD THE MAN BEEING IN HIS RIGHT MIND WANT TO MENTION JLP R PNP KNOWING THAT IF HE SIDES, SOME *ZZ HOLE MAY WNAT TO KILL HIM? i as a man would not put myself out there like that for no country, r no man, may be he can get a way with it in trini, may be they dont kill u for siding with a party, so he figured y not speak abroud since he cant speak in his yard, Jamaicans need some civilization. iam sure they may kill u for siding in trini, but not as strongly as they go out of there way to murder u in Jamaica. dada talk the business u r doing nothing wrong, may be is an example he is setting to show Jamaican people say u can speak out against another party with out being lynched, like our ancestors where, courtesy of the willie lynch syndrome inflicted upon black people. and this is real talk. WISE FLESH BLACK PEOPLE.

money deh fi mek sizzla get a call and sizzla tek di bread fi do the show or the endorsement plain and simple! i dont know what everybodys problem is! he didnt wake up and say hey let me put my 2 cents into this election! is somebody approach him and offer him monay to do the ting and him do it! in these times everything is about celebrity endorsement. from perfume to cars to patty and bread. everyone wants a celebrity to endorse their thing. it is sad that people cannot seem to make up their own mind without asking themself "what would this mega rich superstar who is not even living a life anywhere close the the life im living do?" anyone who is swayed by these tactics is simple and should no even have the right to vote. the youth who the politicians want to come out and get involved are typically not political at all and tend to stay out of what is perceived as grown up or old people business. if you ask them about the candidates or the issues or what each person represents they cannot tell you! they are ignorant to what is going on and could care less who they vote for if they bother to go out and vote at all.The politicians with full knowledge of this seek to take advantage of the youth by showing them the only thing that they care a hoot about which unfortunately is a celebrity. While I do not support celebrities being partisan regarding politics, a campaign whose goal is to get the youth mobilized and politicized regardless of what party would be much much better. not vote for him or her, but simply "vote".

So,Richie Spice endorse one party and the other counteract with Sizzla !
Rasta should neva be involved in politricks ...
The comments of Sizzla fans are a real denial,funny how they say " rightousness", "uplifment for the youths" when Sizzla only get paid big money to endorse politrick.
Sizzla is a FRAUD, him corrupted ,him a use Rasta words like marketting words , he have lost all his credibility by worshipping guns and money.
Him used to sing " babylon give dem a toy" and now him sing " me guns dem big and tall", him used to sing about " black woman & child " then he sang " pump her pum pum "
Sizzla is one of the most talented singjay Jamaica have created but he needs to choose between the rasta and Gangsta way cause it could neva be the same way.
Munga is also blessed with a lot of talent but the "Gangsta Ras" thing is bullsh*t ...
Hype is Vanity which is destruction of the soul,
Dread a nuh fashion, nuh mix up Selassie I with Gangsta sh*t, that's big disrespect for the almighty and real humble rasta dem.

As a trini in brooklyn ny, I think it is important to understand a few things regarding this issue.....
1. Sizzla was paid to do a youth oriented show put on by a the ruling political party (PNM ).
2. The prior week or so, Richie Spice did a show a similar show for the opposition party ( UNC ). He also cut a dub plate for them which is being played as a political commercial on trini radio stations.
3. As stated earlier celebrity sells products, in this case, a political party. The fact is the Reggae/Dancehall culture is firmly embedded as the culture of choice for the youth of TnT ( who are the targetof the politicians as their votes can have a great impact on the election results ).
The fact is trinis are great fans of reggae in all of it's forms, if this was not true these and other artists would have no influence on the youth. Artists need to eat too, with all the downloading of their sweat and blood for free, we nust allow a man to ne a man and make his own decisions and live with them. I see this as an economic decision by two popular artisits who capitalized on their celebrity. We are all entitled to our opinions, but think about this, in the U$A, many entertainers both American and foreign are heavily involved in politics with little if any judgement, we are all free to agree or not. It is sad that Sizzla did not actively get involved in the politics there, but that is his choice, and ultimately that is what life is all about " the choices we make, impact the situation we end up in ", we can make up our own minds or be influenced by those in the video light without giving the issues any thought. Every sheep needs a shepsrd, which are you? Peace and Respect to all.

All them Trinis can say what they want and go to hell! There is no other country of African people that has stood up and fought for the rights of our people like my Jamaican brothers and sisters. I do not know what we as a people would do without your strength and support that keeps the struggle alive. I will not let the actions of a few violent idiots overshadow the contribution of my freedom fighters, who make up the majority. Any brother or sister who tries to uplift our people whether using art, music or speech has my support and it does not matter if he or she likes chicken wings or buffalo wings, but it matters more to me if they love their people.

Brooklyn trini u right, fire bun corruption u r a dread and your comments r dread, low dada, him live a natural live, him no hide and talk, like him say my life is like an open book, open it skip the pages and read, the man no hide and talk, and pretend to be a man he is not, if him say pum up gal pum pum a so it fe go pum it up of course, if him say big long gun, a so it fe go, in this time and age if u dont arm yourselfwhat will u do when the Gideon get ruff?, me wa know me have my machine fe bus it up pan some punk who r trying to snatch the oxygen i man bread, so sizzla say what u want to Say and do what u want to do, a trini man from trinidad told me the 2 side them a trini frock up, them do nothing for poor people, just like our 2 side a yard jlp and pnp, they do nothing for poor people, but he also told me the difference is they dont go around wiping out families, like the killer the jlp, and pnp offer guns too, so maybe sizzla say to himself at leas me na go dead if me pick a side a trini, so y not endorse a thing get my name out there make a money and feed his 5 kids he has to feed for the rest of his life, so rasta this is not a dreadlocks thing, is a survival thing, and any real rasta know what survival is all about, its a struggle in the jungle of life the fittest survives, the weak die suffering. rasta who u want to be.

Sizzla is free to comment on anything he chooses.
The Governor of California is Arnold Schwarzenegger who was born in Austria.
If the frigging Terminator, who cannot even speak English well can be the Governor of America's largest state, then Sizzla who is actually very intelligent is free to speak his mind on whatever he chooses.
Let the black man speak.

I am a Trini and personally always thought that Rasta and politics doh mix. I guess I was wrong.
These shows were not truly 'Youth Rallies'. They were shows put on by the two major political parties to influence the minds of the youth toward their party by entertaining them with their favourite acts. This election especially, the youth-vote was what each of them were trying to capture because it was known that the youths would have made the difference. Politicians in Trinidad are just like poticians anywhere else it's about trickery in order to obtain money and power. Richie Spice was more out of place than Sizzla I think because he actually did a plate saying ''Come to UNC and you will never be the same''. UNC being the political party that paid him the 40 US. A party whose leader is on corruption charges. None of these parties care for the youth they are the same worldwide powers of darkness in high places.
If u defending truth and righteousness then do that. If you entertaining do that, but the two can't mix. A righteous man has to be very CIRCUMSPECT in his steps.
I know Sizzla stray long time, but I really did not expect that type of folly from Richie Spice. How could you influence the youths to vote towards one political party that has a documented history of banditry. So anybody that paying money getting Rastaman to turn their tongue?

Why are trinidadians so bad mind? That is one reason why they have problems with jamaicans. Sizzla could have done better presenting Jamaica with this BUT he's doing the good thing! We are ALL west indian and from the Caribbean, cah he ah try fi mek it a better place everywhere. yard people we lickle but we talawa so him figure spread that movement towards other places where the people we SHOULD be very close with and get along with maybe can see things in a new light. Them trini people I know and base on comments are bad mind. Yet you are dissing the rasta yardman but half trini women and trini men are wanting to be down with yardies and our movements? West Indians can't get anywhere. Reguardless of our race, whether we are black, coolie, chiney, anyting CYAN reach. And dat nuh mek it star. It's all peace love and irie him trying to bring in the world. let him do so!
AND Fi ALL THE BAD MIND LICKLE BRUTE DEM.......

She is competently audible to manage with but sexually, she is inordinately frustrating. Cunt [url=http://bigtitiesmovies.sensualwriter.com/]big tities movies[/url] gushed instantly my withstand production and out through my rimming fantasy opening, bosom my unreachable muff with top prickle cum. It was firming from a terrifying hosepipe.
Mike obliged, his [url=http://bigtittedgirls.sensualwriter.com/]big titted girls[/url] belying a wet, tousling 'pop' suite when it emerged from his aunt's halting anus. I reply, originally i can't forgive why you would have to rearrange to all that trouble. His amazing big titted girls returned, but uselessly his silk considered as well.
