    Music is the rod and we are Moses, leading God children to the promise land. Now look where they leading the youths. The men in every society teach the youths how to act, it's a shame that the men in our society don't take responsibility. Not the politicians not the entertainers not the police , no one. Our kids Need rescue from us.

    Ok Donna, after listening to you I realized jamaica has No Hope. Basically what you are saying is that Chop and gun songs are justified because people want money. It's like losing one's soul to gain the world.

Professor, Jamaica is an outlier to your data set. Do new research. You are out of touch with the current Jamaican reality. Our violent misogynistic music has a direct impact on our behavior, especially the young and vulnerable minds amongst us. What we now produce is dark and getting darker. May God help us.

    We r always going b in this state or worse if we keep this term:Who was first the chicken or the egg( what influenced what).. in my perspective music that is spoken whether on an instrument or by mouth firstly..., then the media or trend..(which entales electronic or visual then it becomes the trend).. hence that breeds the culture..eg. the term radam, or normal mi naa lie...who first said those frazes and now it is a trend turn apart of the culture..so whether good or bad as soon as the ear hears it been repeatedly saying the mind adapts..doesn't mean everyone one will conform but sometimes even when we hate the thing ,just by hearing it repeatedly without even knowingly do or saying it we do ..

    These situations were in the makings from the inception of our so-called independence…the average Jamaicans born come see poverty and a few ppl with wealth and they seems to be totally in charge and are more protected by the legal gunmen ( police and soldiers) and as human beings, ppl wants to upgrade themselves in order to get to that protected stage where they’re respected, etc! There’s also the fact that these videos and lyrics in these songs are promoted by the system…they were started out in shows/movies, etc…plus it must be noted that when we were freed from slavery we never gotten an adequate start financially and as such we could not have been genuinely independent without wealth🤔
