I find it fascinating that when it comes to music Jamaicans often have a tendency to overlook the Rocksteady era which was some of the sweetest music ever recorded.

Nothing wrong with the video... cultural appropriation will always happen... Black Culture is the most appropriated ... for music, think Hip Hop.. it's all over the world and monetized by all sorts of peoples. Jamaica needs to handle _it's own_ monetisation issues and not worry about other people celebrating them but rather embrace it. It shines a light on the island and culture and attracts people from all over the world.

I have been living in Frankfurt Germany for 4 years now and not once have I heard or seen any promotions of Jamaica artists performing here. But I have heard of German reggae artists. I was like, wtf. So Germans are making money off our genre while simultaneously not pushing actually Jamaican artists. That's some bull. Just wait. I just need to find the right link.

About to? No, Jamaica has lost it already. And Jamaica suffers because of a small mind and the passport is weak. Jamaica needs to have an EU waiver so Europe can be accessed to promote and so on. Dancehall has already died, Reggaeton and afro beats killed it off. Other places are already making their versions of Jamaican patties. Jamaica is done, buried and no longer relevant..as a former Jamaican I can say this.

Jamaica has lost it's brain

absolutely 100%, even the sound systems in Europe are bigger and sound better than those in Jamaica, and most don't play dance hall music, I believe because it's devil music that damages the youths brains.

Nothing can beat our unique Jamaican flavour, both in music and dance, but promoters will settle for the immitation if the can avoid the headaches and bad attitudes of some Jamaican entertainers.

Jamaica is down bad cause our Country has become a Matriarchy. Tha's what we need to focus on and stop trying to gatekeep Art. Japanese ppl always shown love to all things Jamaica..worry about the Issa's and Azans who basically came to Jamaica a few generations ago and was given the entire Island.

The other side of the coin is the reputation some of our artistas have of indiscipline, unpunctuality, vulgarity aka over-sexualised dance movements, and the bag of followers as part of the crew. I still cant figure the purpose of the "flag wavers.😮😂 ). "Jamaice time " don't work overseas. Sound checks, and rehearsals are vital for the scheduling of a production and lighting cues. The production personnel are unseen but they are all unionised and they have strict rules about what they do and when. (Speaking from years of touring North América, UK, the Caribbean and the Bahamas) Bottom line is if we want to reclaim our culture then an arritude change is vital.

Here's the thing people, we create & others either appreciate or appropriate. We are the generators of the world. If we stop creating the world cannot evolve exponentially, & so all we have to learn is how to market & brand our unique creativity & expression. That's why it's called a Rat Race, to see who is going to get to first place, it's not about skin colour alone, it's also about who the Melanin Sun smile upon with gifts & grace. Japan realize culturally it doesn't have the advantage of some of us, so it's going to bring us in, learn from us & try to replace us. Textbook 101 of Darwin Theory, the strongest will always survive. Stay Strong & Survive. Blessings to all

So what people love Jamaican culture. You need to be proud

We cant lose we culture unless we stop evolving

Here's a hint guys we must take control of promotion distribution and representation. Plus our music is too slack, vulgar and sexual to play to clientele outside of the wider market. Look at the crowd of people that listen to old reggae from the 80s and 90s compared to now.

Our people spent too much time integrating rather than monetizing and organizing our entertainment expression. From the early days we should have set up shop in japan organizing events but gate keeping it

Jamaica lost its culture when it sank into immorality

Dear sir , I can feel your passion, but I think , your thoughts are very limited to a small part of the jamaica wave moving across the world. What is happening is finally it is not just the music industry who are keeping all the profits and not investing on the island. It has turned a corner, and now the global world who love jamaica and are celebrating jamaica are now thinking about visiting the island and have the real experience. And not just listening at a music event . They are actually venturing out to the island . So now move your business plan into event and tours and restaurants and hikes and cycling , and alll the things tourist do when they visit an island they have always dreamed of . Make flights cheaper and then prosper . U have lost nothing but gained a huge audience. From the musical advertising that dates back to the sixtys

From yard get satellite TV, Jamaican culture gone longtime

Jamaica is also NOT the only country in the West Indies - as some people seem to think. Perhaps her point/annoyance is : "Don't assume being Jamaican means you have to be Black" . Hence some people's disbelief at seeing Non-Blacks speaking Jamaican/patois. 40:30 sums up what she was trying to say - but watch the whole video. czcams.com/video/c-kBWtsG1fM/video.htmlsi=S8phLURNFNmWbuwN

I believe it's already did 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 ja will never be the same again thanks to those corrupted politicians and those who lose their love for each other's such a damn shame 😢😢😢

We who?

Mind yuh business lady

How many lives have those low-minded persons positively changed, why bringing politics in. Even if it was one house given to a needy person, that would be a great blessing to the recipient. Let's build each other up. There shouldn't be any room for negative thinking or comments.

Bad minded people will always speak negatively about good people. They need to get a life, put their enegery into positive contribution to uplift those in need. What does race have to do with the good work that Mr Beast is doing? Coveviciousness has no place in our world, neither racism. Keep up the good work, Mr. Beast, his team and Food For The Poor.❤❤❤

Home Sweet Home Vincy. Straight outta Bequia

I love this man all ways sound good

That's out of many one people is not as u think out of many one people was ment for all the different slaves that was sent to jamaica from all the slaves who were rebellious from all the plantations chin stop u rubbish u are the original fool😂😂😂😂🎉

I am a Citizen of Jamaica and “NOT BLACK!” Therefore I am “SUPPOSED TO BE MARKED AS A “ODDITY!” NOW, I am JAMAICAN and by JAMAICA’S MOTTO, “OUT OF MANY ONE PEOPLE,” I AM “RIPE(RIGHT) to be a JAMAICAN and a CITIZEN(OF JAMAICA). How can a PERSON, BY INTERNATIONAL LAW BE A JAMAICAN? Is RACE a Criteria to be a LEGAL, JAMAICAN?

He built 100 homes across several countries. He built 27 homes in Jamaica through food for the poor. Happy for the people who benefited .

Jamaica is not african. She is telling the truth on that but not just the black country part

Thank you 💕 Mr beast for helping our brother and sister God bless can you come to Portland I need e house too please my house burn down 13 years now and I can't make back if I consider thank you

I need one please

And they're already selling them lol

I thought he gave away twenty houses and built 100 across the Caribbean

SO DID HE BUILD 100 HOUSES in JAMAICA? YOUR tagline makes it appear as if he had.

Well said my brother! The Caribbean islands has its own unique aspects. It’s just mutual love for your island , that is why each islander claim his/her island is the best.

The best looking woman ever seen is Cecily Tyson with her short afro..

Your reports are usually so objective, relevant and clear. As a Vincentian living in Canada, I also have family members whose homes have sustained major damages. I was wondering if there would be a waiver of the custom duty taxes etc. with regards to the clearance of containers (barrels) from Canada. It would be ideal if the government could address this issue. Thank you for sharing. Continued blessings upon you and your family.💟🙏

It was a perfect speech. I had to go to another channel to hear this speech in its entirety before I comment to see if there was any mention of God and prayer and at the end, he said it. After all is said and done, God is our ultimate Protector, Shelter and Defender. Thanks for sharing. You are doing an excellent job on these reports. You are all in my prayers.🙏

James, we're back on Clubhouse ...

I also think it’s a great thing he is doing please my JAMAICAN people don’t be ashamed because homeless are all over it’s sad to see how many living on the streets sidewalks in America 🇺🇸 especially California

After the hurricane he might have to build a 1000

Let's keep it simple, Jamaica is a black country....life is beautiful

NO HE DID NOT!!! He worked with Food for The Poor 🤬🤬🤬
