Jamaican dancehall ban?

WorldFocus reports on Jamaicas Broadcasting Commission ban on dancehall music and images of daggering on radio and tv.



"Grace Hamilton, known as Spice, is one of Jamaica’s most prominent Dancehall artists. She and Vybz Kartel came under attack for their duet “Rampin’ Shop.” Not all of Spice’s songs are so sexually graphic. In the video below, Spice talks (and sings) about growing up in Jamaica’s ghettos.!"


Mer daggering - No daggerin’ on Jamaican TV and on Worldfocus.

"Music will always be an easy scape goat

....it's a lot easier than dealing with the actual socio economic issues plaguing society that are causing the actual problems that need to be addressed and corrected. Requires less money, less commitment, less in general. here it is. Musical content in the issue so let's start impose censory bans and all teenage prenancy rates will decline, all crime rates will decline, all moral corruption in general will be abolished yadda yadda yadda - they know better but it's to target music than actually deal with the issues.

The artists speaking on what is going on in their community, who have come up through their art should now be penalized and hindered futher because they speak on what is going on around them.

Completely logical no? Smh"

censor fuckery


Jamaicas Broadcasting Commission (kringkastingsrådet) har i knappe to(?) måneder hatt en ban på radio og tv av sanger med daggering, guns og spørr-mordi-tekster. Både dancehall, soca, hip hop og andre sjangrer med farlige tekster blir sensurert, men det var i hovedsaklig hypen rundt daggering chuuunes og koselåta Ramping Shop til Vybz Kartel og Spice som gjorde at forbudet kom. Kartel var tidlig ute med et stikk til systemet og skrev også et åpent brev om forbudet til The Jamaican Star, en av de største avisen på Jamaica. Artister må sensurere sine tekster for å bli spilt på radio, noen ganger må man visst betale for å få låter spilt på radio (unrelated), og radio- og tvstasjoner har blitt nødt til å legge en "beeeep" over visse deler av mange av de låtene som blir levert inn til listene. Bla bla, les heller om det i The Guardian og hør låtene under istedet. System fuckery!

mp3: Vybz Kartel - My Music



This is not a moral war - a financial war
Dem no want ghetto youth have house and car
Tell me why you want decide what the public need fi hear
And the public don't know who you are

People want know if your lifestyle allows you to make that decision
How you reach in a public office without any public election?

A nuh my music mash up society
A nuh my music - I wasn't around in 1980
Election cause it - a nuh my music mash up society
A nuh dancehall music - and that's how the public views it


mp3: Busy Signal - Beep (Indiscretions Riddim)
