Now that the Gaza-Gully feud is finally over...

[Lionpaw]

I see that the crime rate has decreased significantly. I pity you fools who really think that music has an influence on crime. If a man wants to kill a man, it's in his intentions, whether or not him listen to a gaza or gully tune. As I have always said, Bruce dem always have unnuh like eediat. Him always point the finger wherever him can, attempting to exonerate himself and him other gangsta JLP peeps. Wake up fools. Jamaica is where it's at now because of politicians and not just music, which is merely entertainment.

Music must take its share of the blame for reinforcing negative lifestyles. There is a reason why more senisible countries are banning these people.

MissLondon, music cannot reinforce a negative lifestyle, corrupt politicians do. Both uptown and downtown kids listen to violence-laden music, however, more often than not, it's the downtown kids that turn out to be criminals. Why do you think that's the case? Violence is deep-rooted and hardwired into the ghetto minds by the politicians. They are solely to be blamed for what is happening today as it was them who dug the foundation for crime in the 80s. Music is only recreational and doesn't determine whether a youngster turns to crime or not. Political influence, poverty and many other factors do a good job at that. Facts mi a talk yuh zeet. The reason why Caribbean islands are banning them is because their young generation are shifting away from that crappy soca music and are identifying themselves with reggae now. Dancehall wasn't a problem when Ninja Man, Shabba, Mad Cobra and other artistes who spewed violent lyrics toured their islands. In the 90s, reggae music was second to each island's respective popular musical genre. It's now that Dancehall is arguably number 1 in the whole caribbean, the problems are arising. Gimmie a break.

and oh, I'm still waiting on the Bikini pics. See it deh Mo, me remind har, you can stop bother mi now?

Because its downtown kids making the music, speaking to other downtown kids about downtown life.

Violence is deep rooted in ghetto communites as well, violence that is reinforced by the music. Its not just violence they are reinforcing but a general dysfunctional lifestyle and culture. I agree that the blame for jamaica's crime problem lays mainly in the hands of the politicians. But other factors shame the blame as well and this goes for artists who promote and reinforce a destructive lifestyle.

Lionpaw just assuming things in Trinidad for example a reggae show would have pulled 50-60 thousand in the 90's . Today 20 thousand patrons is a major success. they banning those artist because of the content of their music ain't no shift in people music taste .. carnival time its soca time (same as in Jamaica) the rest of the year people listen to dance hall simple as that ....always some conspiracy against dancehall culture and trying to keep it down ent paw.. so i guess the USA revoke kartel beenie movado visa because the American youth loving dance-hall more than hip hop and R&B
