		<description>This is not about Jamaicans or race...this is about right and wrong...Im sorry, but Im much more frightened of those slasher rock bands that talk about disfiguring people, being sadistically evil against what is differnt, and glorifying satanism....To me thats a true abomination, where as Hip Hop and Reggae is based on poor people struggling to survive in an overly aggressive place and identifying with there struggle...they just say what they feel they have to and they should...the degrading of women was popular long b4 hip hop and reggae through rock...but who talks about that...violence...well, if thats what u see every day where u live, and if u feel that if u dont speak like u would do the same thing that u saw sumone do, but still knew it was wrong, then it could happen to you, can u really blame them...and the gay thing, well...sum people were raised one way and reLLY dont know any better, the Jamaican cultur is highly against gays and thats just the way it is...can anyone get mad at the Jews for saying if ur not Jewish ur going to hell...or Christianity or Islam for that matter...? its all a matter of opinion, dont ban the music, try to understand the culture, theres more to reggea hip hop and other black music then Bling Bling, shoot em up, and lets all F*ck these B*tches...it just doesnt get mainstream radio play...I am a Jamaican that loves all types of music, I dont promote negativity and I seldom listen to music that tells me that being negative is good...but I must admit that I love sex, drugs and guns in movies....so whats worse...? the 10 highest paid musicians that get promoted to glorify guns, violence, anti gay &amp; degrading of women to the people that want to hear it, tune in to the radio stations, buy tickets to concerts or purchase the CDs ...or the TV and movie makers that promote those very same things but even more graphically as they include imagery and advertising that make it even look better to children and adults alike...actually to everyone that has a TV and watches commercials and movies on them...? If you want to talk about wrong, we should start there...Music is all about self expression, negative or positive, right or wrong...it cant really be judged cause its personal preference...If you dont want to hear it or see it, dont promote or support it...Now, for the people that for what ever reason do support it and promote it, its there choice to subject themselves to it...God gave us choice, and it shouldnt be judged or taken away, cause wheres the freedom and democracy in that!?!</description>

		<description>I agree.... the ban should be extended.  I believe there is a direct correlation between the sex and violence laced lyrics of dancehall and the inappropriate sexuality and aggressiveness of our young people.

We have descended from a proud and fearless group of West Africans and we need no help in stirring up aggression.  

But I think another issue is the lack of parenting...children are having children and many who are not children are just not sound parents.  They do not themselves censor for their children so society has to step in.

I am frankly frustrated with the degeneration of dancehall... I love the genre but can somebody talk about something other than homosexuality? 

But, as mi granny would say, &quot;fisherman talk bout fish.&quot;

Having said all that, I openly declare an interest in the Rompin Shop song,... though I only heard the &#039;clean&#039; version.  I heard it at at wedding in Jamaica in January mind you.  The partner was there. And wine was made to bruk.  But that was an adult gathering of 20nuff to 30 somethings (and older).  

The bottom line is APPROPRIATENESS!

Children do not know how to behave like children because adults think that they are cute when the act out &quot;force ripe&quot; behaviour!

		<description>They needed to to that from long time. Ever since I could remember dancehall always had slackness in thier lyrics. They have no regard for children and older folks being subjected to that garbage. Same goes for the rap music, preaching thier gangsta crap. I really don&#039;t listen to that trash.

I read the article about chris brown, although its wrong to choke her, when i really look at it from the other  side of the coin; If I had a brand new lamborghini I spent couple hundred thousands on, and somebody take my keys and toss it out the window were i cant find them, I&#039;d wanna choke the crap out of them too. But at the same time, they can afford to just get the keys replaced and the locks changed.</description>

		<description>What a way you old! You a turn into one a dem bald head. :wink: 

My position on the matter is very much like your own. To be clear, I think that the &quot;artists&quot; should be able to write, record and perform (in appropriate venues) any lyrics they choose. 

However, public over the air broadcasts are not an appropriate or acceptable venue for explicit lyrics. So, radio should be out. Likewise, pounding systems that can be easily heard for miles around are equally unacceptable venues. This should have been banned a very long time ago. Frankly, I thought they were already banned and that simple governmental slackness was impeding enforcement.

But, I&#039;d like to point out that the ban should be against explicit lyrics. That means more than just raunchy sexual content. Explicit lyrics would most definitely include graphic depictions of violence, illegal activities and sexual content. Most places have these decency laws and references to slitting the throats of policemen qualifies as indecent in most places.

Chris Brown will certainly get what he deserves. He will almost certainly get jail time for his actions and, when inside, di bredda a go deal wid im.</description>
