Clovis Cartoon – Beenie & Bounty Take To The Seas

No, we just can’t get enough of these hilarious Clovis cartoons that spoof the ongoing United States visa saga facing some Jamaican artistes. The Clovis cartoon below was featured in today’s Jamaica Observer newspaper, and shows popular dancehall deejays Beenie Man and Bounty Killer (whose U.S. visas were revoked recently) on a raft (Haitian refugees are on a nearby raft), supposedly trying to make it to America.

This is Sherine’s Blog site. This site shares articles written by her and also follows her personal day to day journey. Y’all know what a blog is right, its a web diary.

I disagree…

The gully Gaza issue had caused further separation in our society. The country is already separated by politics, (PNP/JLP), and we don’t need additional separation. I don’t mind person having a preferences or drawing to a crew that they rate, but it had reached a level where persons were getting killed because of this. The other reason is, the lyrics that the guys sing about had reached an intolerable level whereas it was causing the moral standard levels in Jamaica to lower.

I must applaud the government to make a step to ensuring that they get involved in Jamaican culture. We all know dancehall is all about clashing and competition but dem did tek it too far. Suh right about now, mi a endorse positive lyrics, positivity. More love mi seh, Jesus Christ mi seh!  But in the mean time check out the article below that cause me to write this blog.

‘Bad idea’ – MAJ head says Golding should not have met artistes over Gully-Gaza issue

THE LEADERSHIP of the Media Association Jamaica Ltd (MAJ) has levelled stinging criticism against the Bruce Golding administration for hosting a high-profile meeting at Jamaica House with feuding dancehall artistes Adidja Palmer (Vybz Kartel) and David Brooks (Mavado).

Prime Minister Bruce Golding and other Cabinet ministers met with the controversial artistes on Tuesday in an attempt to reduce tension between the so-called Gaza and Gully factions.

Kartel heads Gaza, while Mavado leads the Gully clique.

Chairman of the MAJ, Gary Allen, rebuked the Government, saying the meeting at Jamaica House was unfortunate.

Disappointed

Making a presentation to the Human Resources and Social Development Com-mittee of Parliament on Wednesday, Allen said the association was disappointed with the move.

The committee had invited the MAJ and the Press Association of Jamaica to discuss the impact of music with violent content on youth.

“Calling singers and DJs to Jamaica House to reason with them about toning down the rhetoric, cutting down the hostility in the lyrics and making statements to fans about all the venom that was being spewed last week that it was really not serious, that, Mr Chairman, we find unfortunate and, in our view, it is not the example that we would endorse,” Allen said.

He contended that “our artistes and musicians need to know that we expect better from them”.

Committee member Shahine Robinson commended the ministers who met with the artistes and the media for highlighting a united front between the two dancehall factions.

She said a young constituent who was loyal to one of the groups was now showing support for the two after seeing a show of unity by Kartel and Mavado on television.

“While we credit the ministers who met with them, we have to credit the media for showing that positive side,” said Robinson.

Be cautious

But Allen warned that those in authority should be cautious about the signals they send to the society.

He recalled being invited to Jamaica House in the “height of the Rampin’ Shop, ban-the-music-and-chastise-the-media issue”.

According to the MAJ head, Spice, the female DJ co-sings in the Rampin’ Shop, was present at the meeting.

“I remember that this young woman, who sang this most vulgar, demeaning, outrageous song, was, in the presence of the prime minister and at least one other minister, commended for how talented she was,” Allen said.

“And, when she spoke and declared that as an adult she needs to have her space to express herself creatively in the way that she expressed herself in that song, there were many who agreed and assured her that she has a right to that space,” Allen explained.

Chiding those who supported her, Allen said: “No one told her that the material she was pervading was a shame on women and that it should not be emanating from her mouth in public, in private, nor should it be emanating in recording studios. If we send the wrong signals, we will have the results to show for it.”

( l – r ) Vybz Kartel, Mavado

Some rap tunes we did back in the day, we were trying to get signed!!! Almost got there. Thanks to Anthony Fairweather, but we went a different direction and focussed on Dancehall. This dude is now one of the sickest artiste in Jamaica. Its just a matter of time.

DAJENESIS – D.A.Jay by dalevirgo

Yow a publicity stunt from morning, di man dem plan it. Me deh a studio and see seh di man dem never did all dat serious, but seriously last year when Kartel did do the song about Movado mother, that was serious. But mi seh this to say, music is very powerfull and di man dem fi enjoy demselves and preach positivity inna the music.

As mi seh, mi cyaaan believe mi eyes.

Yow, when i first heard Movado I was like, shocked that this singer suh brave and have so much melody taking on Kartel. I was impressed. Not telling no lie still, Kartel vicious, him have lyrics. Initially I never did rate Movado, but after a while him vibe start grow pon mi. I had the opportunity to meet both. I mixed songs for both artistes. I did a session with Skatta at Kings of Kings with Movado, when he did “Dem a Fag”. I was impressed. The Singer start improve pon him lyrics. I went to Sting 2k8 and paid attention to both artiste and the same ting again, I was impressed at how the Singer fearlessly took on Kartel. Kartel have nuff lyrics and him very lyrical, you cant take that from him, but at the end of the night/morning, a Movado win  the clash. But look pon these two artistes taking it on Tune for tune. What started the clash in the first place?
