I feel like the i is talking to i, but i dont know who said american music is no good. I mean all i would have to do is mention Ms.L. Hill and that argument is done. Dont get i wrong because i talk so about sizzla and reggae music, for i could just as well sit here and talk of, Stevie Wonder or Nina Simone or Afrikka Baambaata.
And im not sure how the i is differentiating between rap and hiphop when they are the same thing,,hiphop is the whole art form, rap is the actual grabing the mic and do your ting.
As far as the conscious hiphop artists the i mentions, if you listen close you will always find somethings that you wouldnt consider as "positive", the youth dont live in such a positive world and they have to reflect that... case in point, Krs One and BDP had an album called Criminal Minded.
As far as Sizzla, if we can leave the xrated explicit songs for a moment, plz show i where he says anything thats "nopositive about woman", i would like to see
Who said, it is a sin to wear a baseball hat. I am not a bobo youth, but i usually have i locks wrapped tight, but sometimes i might relax, if at home or just around my area, i might have I locks out. i might have a bandana, i might tie it backwards, i locks are too big to wear baseball hats, but hey...is that really the sign of a mans rightousness?
Its kinda funny that you take offense of sizzla saying a word like F###, and yet thy own words are peppered with words like Sh##.
As far as talking about "killing people",
first lets remember who he is talking about
seond lets remember that he is killing them with his Word Sound and not going out to actually harm ppl
and third, lets remember that even Bob Marley used to sing of "bombing the church"....ofcourse, comparatively one might say that those are tototally different levels,but we cant be thinking like its the seventies now, a different age , a different generation, dont be amazed that the youth dem fyah get Redder now cause the gideon is getting hotter still.
Concerning wearing suits, lol, i have worn suits before, admittedly on very few occasions, but i dont have any problem with it, i dont know why anyone would. why,? because it comes from the western world? is everything from the west bad? I wonder what kind of shoes the I is wearing right now.
InI Father is InI example no? If King Selassie I wears suits on occasion, what problem does the I have with it?
One last thing i would like to say is, dont make the music about the personalities, leave that for MTV, let the music stand on its own.
"since most people come into RASTA by music and art"
Iyah, Rastafari is an inborn concept, if it is not inborn in one, one can listen to all the upful reggae music he wants and never turn unto Rastafari,like a few in this here forum , while the one who has Rastafari inborn in him/her will turn to Rastafari at the sound of one Word, at the sight of one image, at the feel of one vibration. People will always be attracted unto what is already in them, so if a person takes all the albums that sizzla has made and all he/she attaches him/her self towards is "killing and sexing woman" then you will know what is already in them.
Blessed Love
Never shun the youths, even the misguided ones who seem to only think about money and "bling", be happy for any Black youth doing something to come out from the shituation. One less hungry belly, what he does after with his success is between him and the Father
Holy I Jah Rastafari
Selassie I the First
