Burger King Commercial...for kids? I don't think so.

I thought the McDonald's commercial was bad with the slang terminology thrown in there. But wait it gets worse...it's Burger King's turn...

Hip- Hop started with us...

Kool Herc. Anybody remember him? Maybe, some know him as Clive Campbell from Kingston, Jamaica. Yeah, Clive started hip-hop. He took something that he fooled around with down at home and brought it to the Bronx, where it exploded to a multi-billion dollar industry. You know what's even worse, this man ain't even a billionaire. Ain't that some shit?!?!? Bill Gates, started Microsoft. Instant billionaire. Richest man on the planet. DJ Kool Herc, started hip-hop. Never made one hit. But you know what? It's cool. We love him because he kept the peace. When there was violence in the BX, Kool Herc would 'break' out his turntables and mix some funky James Brown records and spin it and switch it up so the youth and the people of the day would have something to get down to. He didn't need millions of dollars to be heard. He just walked up into the park, took the power from the streetlight and it was on and poppin' for the rest of the night. We have something like that down in Jamaica, it's called Reggae Sunsplash.

Reinvention of style & dress

Mi a talk about dem tight-fittin' capris wit da Adidas, off-white, wit the off-white cap and the marina wit da hole in dem, make 'em look like fishnet. AH WHA DAT!! Now that style, believe it or not, is actually quite comfortable. If you've never been to Jamaica, then imagine a beautiful day, about 90 degrees outside but there's a nice breeze blowing through. Now think about what I'm wearing, is that not quite comfortable? I think so. Jamaicans are not into basketball shorts because we play futbol and run. You wear shorts above the knee for more mobility. If ya want to look sexy and trendy, ya wear da capris or denim shorts wit a breezy shirt or marina so ya don't make pools a sweat. Remember, Jamaican men must always be ready for a You never know what may pull her ova to you. One more thing, there's this new fad or I guess it's been here for a while, to wear these tight, skinny jeans and push them below the ass and wear a belt, I might add, a name belt at that, with some kind of name brand sneaker or shoe that match the tight polo or short-sleeve shirt with chains that you can probably buy at a thrift store. I'm not against the style of dress but some take it too far so that it's overdone. There is a limit but some have gone past it a long time ago. Personally, I don't like it, mainly cuz Jamaicans have, what my grandfather likes to say, chicken-legs, where the legs are skinny like a chicken's, so the skinny jeans thing may work. However, for me, my thighs are a lil' bigger than a chicken's so those skinny jeans would be too skinny for me.

On a lighter note, well not really...

If you haven't heard this song, you should listen to it. Shit is deep...

Mockery...

I know I'm supposed to wait til I get out all the kinks out but too many people pissed me off today with their fuckin' ignorance and disrespect.


OK, this topic pisses me off. I HATE when people misuse the accent or americanize popular Jamaican sayings. That shit is so fuckin' annoying!! If one more person says, "Yea man, BOOUP! BOOUP! BOOUP!" You know what I'm a do, mi a box ya in ya rassclaat!! Mi a tomp ya in ya face!! Now I understand, when you encounter Jamaicans, you cannot help yourself but notice our beautiful and unique accent that is special to the people of the Caribbean. However, using it as a tool to describe a culture requires some ignorance and stupidity. If you say, "Jamaica, Jamaica, Welcome to Jamrock!" I'm goin' to ask, 'Where is that from? Who created that song? What is the song's deeper meaning?' If you can't answer those questions, you need to educate yourself about our culture and our history because shit like that is offensive to our people and our nation. HAVE SOME BUMBACLAAT MANNAS! A WHA YA TINK DIS IS? EEEH? Don't intertwine violence and Jamaicans either, if you don't know, you better ask somebody! DON'T ASK ME FOR NO GODDAMN WEED!!! I hate that shit! Don't ask me if my cousin is Usain Bolt! Don't ask me for some curry chicken, some rice & peas with some cabbage because you tink that's all mi eat! Stay in school. Don't ask me about the latest dances or what she said! I'm not your fuckin' translator!! If you don't know, you better find out...
