Ok, I am impressed by the photos and quotes but I take exception to the article as SERIOUS and OFFENSIVE.

"Just remeber its not what you got on but what's about to come off". I think this is a very bold faced sentence to introduce Trinidad carnival to the Hip Hop readers of the world especially when it followed the description of the Big Pimpin video which we all know was not an accurate depiction of the essence of Carnival. I think we really should read everything before praising a mainstream publication. This is what I consider to be irresponsible reporting.
