I ordered this novel a couple of weeks ago and I finally got it yesterday. It’s called From Harvey River by Lorna Goodison, it’s a memoir about Lorna’s mother and Jamaica. I absolutely love to read and I really love books and memoirs about Jamaica, so of course this was an automatic read for me. [...]

I’m watchin’ Miss Rap Supreme and I just couldn’t help but seek some other form of lyrical satisfaction, this show is a mess…no it’s actually a HOT MESS. It’s everything that people think female rap is: disorganized, full of in-fighting, and corny, but still I tune-in (sigh)! So I thought I’d do a comparison, on [...]

I guess I missed this video late last year, I figured I might not be the only one so here you go, Lil Wayne (aka the next Bob Marley), Sizzla, and T Streets- The Only Reason. I have no earthly idea what Lil’ Wayne is saying on the first verse, yet another example of a [...]

Wow, to look at some of these pictures it’s hard to believe that these are the same streets I’ve walked time and time again, it looks like a disaster zone.

Things are really, really heating up for Jamaican artists, and the country as a whole when it comes to homophobia. Gay rights activists are on the warpath and are taking no prisoners against reggae artists who have homophobic lyrics (past and present) and those who support them.

It’s Sunday night and I don’t normally post on the weekends, but I read this story and it just irked me to the point that I was drawn to my laptop to give my two cents. It just really ticks me off when corporations, or even people in general, try to insult the consumer’s or [...]
