Have you ever heard a Jamaican song that makes you want to be violent?

Question

Has any Jamaican song ever motivated you to commit a violent act? Which song(s)?

HINT: Dutty wine and other 'dangerous acts of dancing' do not count as violence unless you intend for your head to come in contact with the dancer beside you in a head to head confrontation.

I am talking about real violence. Which song(s)? Which artiste(s)?

Answer 1

no i just think that they are singing about their experiences they are facing in their community. so it all depends on the individual to interpret the song the way he heard it- once a criminal - always a criminal.

Answer 5

No, it hasn't made me violent because I don't listen to songs and then take them literally.

Answer 6

No, I have not. I personally hate to hear people say that dancehall music incites violence. I feel that is a cop out, people act out violence because they want to be violent. We can take it a step further and say hip-hop makes people sell drugs, or rock and roll makes people do drugs. It just sounds foolish and illogical.

TV and basic nightly news, show more violent acts in a 30 minute segment but yet no one wants to pin point the media for the problems that plague communities in Jamaica and abroad.*****edit****

whats up with the thumbs down???? someone clearly been drinkin hater-ade

Answer 7

Not myself but I know people who have their "fight music".

Eventhough some music don't directly say "go and kill people". It makes people think its ok.

For example Vybz Kartel in the song  'Real badman' he said "mi will kill YOUR family and go a di funeral like mi care" or what about Mavodo, " weh do a do weh dem a try MARROW will fly to the sky" ?

Am I the only one that see a problem with that?

It might not affect adults as much as it will the kids that is PART (not all ) of the reasons we have so many gunhappy people now a days because the people they look up to are teaching them in a INDIRECT way that violence and shotting people is ok.

Jamaican music used to be about uplifting people now the DJ dem on some differnt tip.

Answer 8

LOL.  No, I have not.  I don't think there is such a thing.  I am hoping that you are not suggesting that all Jamaicans are non-violent, though.  Because that isn't true.

Answer 9

No. But then i am well adjusted. lol
