"Wannabes, sell Jamaicans who support a lost and indirect dancehall without roots without roots. Learn the crazy ones. Our children are not interested in reggae but children and young people around the world study and practice our music and culture as we create. "Still the Soldier album was no better than Gramps / Etana / Jessy as it was a reggae struggle but it tells the story; give wisdom to the Jamaicans🇯🇲💫🥳," he added.
In another post, Warlord reiterated his position that he did not support the reduction of, or any attempt to change the original Dancehall music and Trap sounds. "Unuh ignored good music that is inspiring and encouraging young people to stay in the post office and then unuh turned around complaining about the state of the music which is why their young people are gwaan Chop It and Trap It👈🏿," he said.
The Coppershot artist's post highlights the feelings of Reggae / Dancehall star singer, Khago. Following the removal of the Best Grammy Award for Reggae, by the US band SOJA, Khago said that Jamaican artists have shunned Reggae, abandoning the "chap" type of music, and that anything passed as Reggae has been curtailed. The Nah Sell Out artist also said that while SOJA’s singers were weak vocally, it should be no surprise that they won, as their songs were laid strictly on Reggae beats.
As far back as 2011, the issue of non-Jamaicans doing Reggae has been discussed. In November that year, NPR published an article titled Non-Jamaican Reggae: Who's Making It And Who's Buying It which noted that “lately, a crop of artists from places like Hawaii, California and Italy are proving that hit reggae can come from anywhere” but in the process, they are “raising some complex questions about culture and ownership”. The NPR noted that there is a new generation of reggae artists, who do not come from the birthplace of reggae music, and are "very successful", often playing up to 40,000 people at European festivals, and up to 4,000 people a night in clubs. It cited Italian Reggae singer Alborosie, who studied Patois and became a Jamaican citizen and the first white artist to be distributed by Bob Marley label, Tuff Gong, as a prime example.
"Reggae globalization sparks a well-known debate on cultural politics. From jazz to rock to hip-hop, white artists have debated the difficult boundaries of a genre that they did not create. Sicily-born Alborosie says he needed to go to Jamaica and talk (learn Patois)," "It also gave the German artist Gentleman, for example, adding that Hawaii and California are the largest breeding grounds for reggae bands, and" iTunes even released the title of Best Reggae Album 2010 not for Jamaica, but for the first time from the Hawaiian band The Green. ”.
It also quoted The Green lead singer, JP Kennedy, who said he had never been to Jamaica at the time, saying that he did not speak for Patois and would probably hate him if he was Jamaican, seeing foreign artists use deception. Jamaican accent. “Do non-Jamaicans do that? I don't know… I think if they can get rid of it it's good. But if I were Jamaican I would probably refuse to hear such lies. "Because I hear people talking about the fake Hawaiian Pig - it's the turn to hear people who don't speak, talking," Kennedy said.
Reggae cannot be stolen, reggae is ours! They do not deny that they love what we do and want to do it too. There are many bands I work with outside Jamaica who are good musicians - especially in Japan. It's just music, and its love. So anyone who dances and sings it is a blessing, ”McGregor said.
