  • What has me is this these men sing about sufferation, poverty, Ill treatment by the system, violence, prostitution, homosexuality, injustice and you know what's the strangest thing, is that even the state Jamaica is in what do these people do with all this publicity, tours not to mention money, now for a man like munga who talks big about putting down guns he land himself right in the middle of a whole murder situation and even tho as vague as details are we going to jump up and scream injustice why?? Cause he does sing good??? Stupes instead of being at a street jam It should have been a rally to help raise awareness for a cause, even in any other form of situation I'm not for injustice if there is no evidence or witness the fight for a fair trail should be the case but when it's over instead of singing about it do more to pull together your country and not advocate and push violence expecting results it's not going to happen in this generation nor the future
