hey guys

Again im here to engage u'll in an interesting discussion. this time its about jamaica's popular dancehall artist vybz kartel. now as you all know well if u didnt now u know dancehall is a merger of reggea and hip hop a more raw version that speaks about the struugles of the gettho and is said to always promote the cry of the poor... well you be the judge of that. anyway mr palmer yeah thats his name adija palmer is known for his lued lyrics and degregation of women in his music again i say you be the judge of that as surprisingly most women who like dancehall music like his song despite the negative lyrcis he promote with regards to their body the vagina yes i said and sexual intercourse.

now as you guys have already heard the jamaica boardcasting comission has banned all songs that promote daggering which is a dance style associated with dancehall music that features pelvic grinding simulating sex..interesiting video isn't well these explicit songs and acts are what dancehall artists are trying to promote in an already slow progressing society.  so recently mr palmer was schedule to perform in grenada however the day of his performance was suppose to be the same day as his condom launch called daggering condoms. "Lyrics that seem to promote violence have raised concern and led the government to deny the rapper a performance permit, said Sen. Ann Peters, a junior health minister and chair of Grenada's national AIDS Council. She said officials were not aware of the condom launch" so my question is hmmmm was he there to perform or there to promote his condoms which for some has gotten major publicity. like what the hell!!!  as miss south carolina teen usa 2007 said i believe " U.S americans"  i believe jamaiac jamaicans well the artist needs to understand that to make it in the entertainment business you need to have an open mind as a wide cross section of people are business are buying your music.

with that said i believe that his tour was of course a cheap shot at promoting his condom but my question is why? why miss you launch back home to perform. well we will never know but all i can say is artist be wise and open minded and tolerant.

one love
