#1 Caribbean Social Experience...!
Jamaica Dancehall music getting a fight from our Caribbean neighbor BARBADOS
I don’t like some Dancehall music but that doest mean I would banned them, I'm not into under ground rap music but that doest mean I would banned it either... It seems these old people in high office always have a problem with young people enjoyment, not because their you know what dried up and when brown dust descend they take their tired body to bed. Why stop at Dancehall, why not just banned porn video, magazine, R-rated movies...Why stop now...banned those US Hollywood R-rated movie actors from visiting your country which is almost all of them.
I always say that this planet is for everyone on it. If a person is not infringing on your space or way of life they should be able to live the life they want to live and enjoy their years on earth.... Jamaica is a music culture of all sort of music for everyone liking...I would say Barbados bad-mind, so lets laugh after bad mind...he ha ha haa, ha ha ha ha ha.
News coming out of Barbados
Ronald Jones, the minister of education and human resource development, said the heavy diet of dancehall artistes performing in Barbados is an overkill and doing more harm than good.
"Even though we share the same Caribbean space, it does not mean we have to welcome everybody. Vybz Kartel and Mavado can stay in Jamaica," Jones said.
His statement came a day after the country's police commissioner denied the notorious Jamaican artistes permission to perform in the Caribbean nation.
"As a country, we must say enough is enough," the Barbados Nation quoted the minister as having said.
"This is Barbados. It must not go down the path of some other Caribbean societies. If reaching First-World status means we have to embrace all and sundry, then let us keep the status that we have," Jones added, according to the Nation.
The education minister said there was a linkage between dancehall music and some of the increasingly aggressive behaviour exhibited by young people in Barbados.
"Barbados is becoming loud, and some of our people are becoming uncaring, uncharitable. There are places in the Caribbean that they don't want Barbadians to come anymore. There are planes in the Caribbean that don't want to transport Barbadians to and from here. What is that saying?
"It is saying that we are loud and aggressive, but it is part and parcel of the diet that we are being fed as a people and as a nation. People like the music, so be it. But we don't need the transplantation of all the negativity that comes around that genre of music," Jones said.
Grange responds
Olivia Grange, minister of youth, sports and culture, responding to this latest saga in dancehall, said: "I am concerned and I have expressed concern about the content in some dancehall songs. I believe strongly in freedom of expression, but that comes with great responsibility. We can do without some of the lyrics, not only in dancehall recordings, but soca and hip hop too, and that is why we took steps to clean up the airwaves. This is an ongoing process."

The dance hall entertainers need to take responsibility for their action when it come to their lyrics and the aggrasive behavor, and voilents that follow some of the artistes. It's about time they grow up and stop acting like school kids at a play ground, act like the adults they are. Soon they won't be able to perform any where but jamaica.
