Mi kinda on di fence bout dis one inno. Music is supposed to imitate life and most times it does.. it iust seems to me that dancehall music is so violent that it has to have an impact on di yute dem weh come from gully an see seh dem a glorify it inna di music. Di music weh a mek gully yute jus like dem.. rich. Mi coulda neva diss dancehall caw ah it and hip hop grow me. My question is, should dancehall artiste show more responsibility and tone it down.. for the sake of the communities?....1000 murders in JA in January alone....just a question......

wow, this is a hard one, i'm in between but both the artistes and people suppose to be responsible for their actions.

me nah lie nuff people a follow what the song say so it has an influence on people

i don't know...but if i was to hear a song about if guy diss mi or say something badd to me....then i should kill him...then 9 out of 10 imma going to want to kill someone when they say something to mi....But That just My Opinion....

yow peeple it simple if u nuh have enuff sense to kno that music is jus for entertainment and fun then u nuffi a listen. if u believe seh dj a kill dj as dem dis dem den u nuffi a listen if u caan mek up u own mind and a w8 fi dj tell u fi do some or seh som'n inna song b4 u decide what to do then u nuffi listen so bottom line...music is entertainment...and if u can't c it as such den u should b locked up for life and.......unnu kno d res.

its about 50/50. some ppl jus to hot*lo**ed tho.

it's always easy to blame music instead of addressing the social issues that are the true cause.

music is supposed to reflect life but it just seems like more time di music a dictate life...or is ti just me? memba seh some a dem guly yute..just like here in di US nuh have no madda nar fadda fi teach dem right from wrong..so dem idolize di entertainer dem. who is responsible in that situation? government is responsible for social issues but they dont make music...

as i said..music is music. now as a yute growing up especially in ja most if not all had early childhood education so u mus kno whats right from wrong its from there that u make ur decisions in life. mi grow up inna d garrison to but neva tek on to dat lifestyle

obviously you are the exceptio then time... but yu muss admit that some yute dont hav the guidance wehyu get...dem a di mon weh raise by di streets an di music..

a whole heap a wi dan...those who turn to violence a nuh music a d fault. a jus lack of funds and den dem jus a think of livin life in the fast lane. mi nuh c dem wid nutten u coulda seh yeah...dem lifestyle paid off either. tell mi som'n mz.............wha kinda vibe unnu get when u listen ome tunes?

mi naw blame di music inno..mi juss a seh considering di severity of the violent situation ina gully. shouldnt di artists be more responsible in what they are sayig..

yeah..mi agree wid dat....b more responsible but at the moment its like the bigga heads waan throw evryting on the artiste and nah seh look peeple we as a country and individuals fi kno and do betta

Artistes need to be responsible as well as the listener.

simple and str8 viper....well said

If dem ago blame di music. Dem fi start with di media. Movies are more influencial. yoh see deh ting deh weh yoh use di remote fi turn on an switch channel n view? Thats more influencial.

dat mi seh to pengo jus look at shottaz evry yute who watch dat come otu different wid dem ways of thinkin

lol
