its sad though that Jamaicans have moved away from their traditional music and are now welcoming the Daggaring, Dung inna yuh throat, informer fih dead etc... garbage. Smh...
Yes, it seems to be a trend throughout the world, with the new wave of music being produced on computer, there is no appreciation of actual music, but instead an insistent beat. When you compare modern jamaican music with early reggae, rico, skatalites, jolly boys and other such bands (early wailers) there was really a different quality to the sound; a charisma brought out through the spirited playing of instruments. Joy in the attitudes of the players and as such a joy to hear. To be perfectly honest the explosion of ragga and rap music, with lyrics that glorify thug life and mistreatment of women, has denigrated the capacity of jamaican (and rap) music as a social catalyst for good (which when Bob Marley was world famous it definitely WAS!). The violent culture of the streets of Jamaica has no doubt gone some way to forming the opinions of some of the espousers of this aggresive beat music. The fact is that gun culture and drug dealing, since many songs, films etc speak about surviving on the rough streets by dealing crack and carrying an iron, (which is a difficult reality for jamaican society, and causes many gunfights etc etc) is seen by young people as a cool thing to do. It is terrible that a civilised society can be so drawn by such a negative and destructive influence, and that people in the west are so blithely persuaded by the agressive music which results. I often feel like I would like to go back in time to the mid 70s, or mid 60s to be fair, when you could actually believe in the idea of world peace. Now all I can believe in is that I must fight tooth and nail for a worthless patch of ground, I must carry various weapons (glock 9 whatever that is!?), wear a big flashy chain so everyone knows that I have alot of money, sell crack to people to feed my family (notorious BIG lyric!) and altogether just, struggle to survive. Well, I don't know, did Notorious BIG really need to sell crack, maybe he could have found another job?? The cult of celebrity is a plague of our era. Idolising individuals lets us forget our responsibility to our community and ultimately our society. Oh god you know honey g ffs I am getting a ticket off this planet first chance i get!
Having a go here from looking at Jamaican dictionaries: "Hog inna mi minty (Hog in my plantation (?)) An him a root up mi coco (And he root up my cocoyam (?)) One dried coconut Two piece of ackee(?) One dried coconut An we go rub it down to curry All dem a young gyal A we no have nobody (We have nobody (?)) See Jolly Bwois here Man me no have nobody " Corrections and suggestions very much welcome
