Although I’m guilty of enjoying some of the current music coming out of Jamaica, I have to agree with the “filth” thing for the most part. Unfortunately some of the tunes and riddims are catchy from a dance perspective. But you have to wonder what message it’s ultimately sending….ESPECIALLY with the current Gaza/Gully garbage that people are taking WAY too seriously!

On the flipside I also think there are some mainstream artists who are turning out some positive music and messages too! Jah Vinci’s “Guide Me” and Konshens “Realest Song” are more along the lines of what I want to hear.

Nice post BTW. :-)

I do share your point and explained in my post about what has been popular lately and “there are still some excellent tracks and talented artists out there if you are willing to dig deap enough and ignore the filth that often floats to the top in the industry.”

That’s what I thought the first time I heard a Trinidadian song at an International Student Night performance. I like it though….has a “mystical” feel to it.

I do not believe the local music scene is vibrant. The performers who dominate the scene are not representative of anything any Jamaican should aspire to be. The theme remains the same in all the songs – girls, money, violence.

I am disappointed we should be doing much more. I am not impressed.
Of course we have some artistes that are fantastic and do great music but overall no.

Sounds very good, really. Very easy going. You should promote more of this stuff, hehe.

hahaha I expected that, some saw “broken english”, others say “Jamaican dialect” we call it “patois” pronounced “Patwa”

Wow great song. Kind of sounds like a different language at times though lol.
