In the end, what is considered "garbage" is a matter of perspective.
Some would consider the westernized bible to be quite misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal,
megalomaniacal and sadomasochistic, yet it is fed to our children as The Infallible Truth, as "food" for the soul.
There are many reggae artists that deal with "pum pum business", in their own styles:
Bob Marley - Stir it up
Max Romeo - Wet Dreams
Beenie Man - Slam
Shabbat Ranks- Wicked Inna Bed, Mr. Lover man
I Roy - Welding
Gregory Isaak - Champion Bubbler
