It's a controversial song about 'rampin' but that is the mildest part of it....the name . The one thing everybody agrees on , that is a positive , is that the rhythm sounds very good... but guess what ? It's not original! - just a take off of Neo's 'Independent Woman' - UTUBE is full of comments decrying the lack of creativity of our local deejays - this rampin' slackness beat all cock (pardon the pun) fight - Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Dennis Brown et al must be turning over in their graves.
We are now unable to write lyrics or make a rhythm. The HOME of reggae.....unable to make reggae music that one and all can enjoy. Wow!
Why are people even debating the banning of this slackness on the airways ? It should have happened long ago. If we had taken a stand years ago we wouldn`t have reached the stage where any artist could have released a whatever (as I can`t even find the word to call it as it's not a song )and think they could get it played on the air or anywhere for that matter.
Do these artists have children?
Do they realize that children repeat everything they hear and mimic everything they see?
One of the "daggering" dj`s Aidonia says he would never allow his children to listen to "daggering" songs and he thinks its a parenting problem not a dancehall problem.
He says his "daggering" music has one fit for airplay and one that is not, when asked why bother to make 2 why not just do the one that is fit for airplay he said the demand is greater for the other one. I gather you also have a dance that goes with these songs - simulated sex in clothes - if what some women wear nowadays can be called clothes.
The video, nothing but sex.....the lyrics, RAW is the only word for it.....Why were we allowed to reach here ?
Why wasn`t it stopped before we reached rock bottom ?
We saw that our music has been going nowhere for years.
The 3 artists that's keeping our flag alive Shaggy, Sean Paul and Damion Marley......they don`t sing nastiness.....Why if the international market doesn`t want nastiness do we Jamaicans want nastiness ? As make no mistake about it, we are the ones to blame especially the women who go to these shows and sing word for word the lyrics that belittle them....Do they know what that word 'belittle' means ?
When our sons grow up to disrespect women do we wonder where it comes from ?
My 19 year old son thinks its the norm to listen to 'pussy' 20 times in a song that lasts 2 minutes and 40 seconds. He is monitored but his Ipod is attached to his ears 24 hours a day and I am certainly not with him 24 hours a day and it's only when I hear the music do I shriek and break CD`s and delete the nastiness off the computer etc. What happens to the children whose parents do not monitor ? His choice of what he thinks is music means that he and I will never enjoy music as my older son and I do.
Can any young person enjoy good music anymore?
Is this nastiness what they mean by "sex sells"?
Beres Hammond has never been nominated for a Grammy!! Can anybody say why? Is his music too "soft" as the young people like to say?
