Give thanks to Creator of life, the Most High who makes all things possible,
Aya thank you for explaining what you meant regarding Sizzla, but before I get to that let met point out that sighting Jah Cure it was meant in jest, honestly but the way its written doesn’t express one’s tone when they speak. He does truly express a natural love for the place and its beauty as you describe JA, I was just messing around.
However, back to the question of lyrics, I’ve no problem with expressing love for one what feels for their man/woman - Jah Cure, Norriss Man, Gyptian, Turbulence, Warrior King n them all do this. That’s irie with me, but its the lewd stuff that I can’t relate to and like you I do skip tracks on Sizzla’s albums cos I don’t need to hear that. My liking for him hasn’t lessened as such but, he’s seriously talented and has worked really hard to produce so much over the years...with my bro’s and sistas, its a Sizzla v Capleton thing (jst for kicks) and I’m Sizzla all the way, no doubt, but I just don’t understand why he’d do say one thing but say another which contradicts. Its the way in which he says things like "so many girls that I have" or "crash dem out, dash them out...the woman them a $%$^ $%$^ *&$#%&*". I can't over that, nah.
When I speak women seen as “objects of desire” I mean it in the sense of subject/object dichotomy like the binaries of oppress/oppressed, master/slave. So in the way I used the term object it was in reference to the historic, social and cultural positions that have subjugated women, that objectifies and treats them as things for consumption, not as a woman with feelings of her own, an empowered or beautiful woman. I was thinking of object because the kind of work in which I’m involved its got to do with power constructions in discourse so I was speaking in that frame, of object as opposed to subject and not in the sense of affection, so I hope that explains my position.
But I’m not sure of the good intention, as you suggest of, lyrics like Spring Break of champagne n girls or So Many Girls that I have but more thoughts on this subject, later. Bless.
