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 [...]

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. Earlier this week, I reported that Red [...]

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 [...]
