wouldn't it be funny if Gelding comments on such a picture?

What is Shotta Culture, an album? a label?

[Hortical]

Tis the name of his new album.

[Baddaz]

spragga is an artist... the picture by itself is only that... a picture... it is no different than a movie poster with a man with a gun...



does johnny depp worry about his image...

without understanding what the album 'shotta culture' is about, we should not pass judgement...

suh what artists cannot use props such as a gun to capture a theme... or the gun is off limits to jamaican artists... just asking...

[OJ]

keep in mind the artist co starred in a movie with similar name. Interestingly he lost a son to the gun via the security force. I wonder how that plays into his new album.

wi nuh bizniz wid johnny depp...an nuh fi im peeple a dead like rice pon di street...

when we have such a huge problem with criminal violence artists who celebrate and encourage that are themselves a problem..

but the root problem is the tribal politics..and the corrupt business class

[Islandman]

Yeah i would want to hear how the subject is presented on the album before forming an opinion.

have you listened to the album... i haven't...

don1, the point is without listening to the album, we should not be out front condemning the picture...

your argument is that since jamaica has a huge criminal violence problem, artists should not have a photo with a gun as a prop... i consider that a flawed position and i have a problem with that...

if the artists is glorifying, promoting and encouraging guns and gun violence and using the picture to advance that message, then it would be worth of condemnation...

however, without being privy to the message on his album, the picture by itself is ok with me...

artists should be granted certain liberties, as long as they are being responsible...

good observation oj... in fact, all that came to my mind when i first saw the picture... he had lost his son to violence and he had came out condemning gun violence... that is why i am reserving judgement until i listen to his album...

[Baddaz]

thats all mi a seh i-man...

[Don1]

a pickcha is wort 1000 lyrics..

[Mosiah]

i don't have to listen to the album. i don't think jamaicans have any business posing off like that. we need to lessen this gun culture any and every way we can!

[Mosiah]

skippy!
