Statement - It's Carnival


3 grade point deductions.

1st deduction, it is not Carnival, it is Crop Over
2nd deduction, Bajans don't talk about "playing mas" we talk about "jumping"
3rd deduction you really can't expect to start a song with it is carnival and we playing mas then reason it is Crop Over


I ain't listen to the full song cause I just got this felling he going talk about Chipping and that would just mean a 4th deduction.

I get where you are coming from but it is not true. KMC's 1st Experience was very Trini Carnival specific in lyrics but did very well in Bim (can't say about the other islands/places). Patrice's Wuking Up was very Barbados specific with lines like "pass Combermere" (the greatest school on Earth and other places btw), but that did well outside of Barbados.

Then going by your own argument above what de phuck does it matter that "carnival" and "playing mass" are mentioned in the song. Just enjoy the song if yuh like it. Yuh think trinis cared when rupee had all the bajan references in his music...hell no...we were vibing with the music regardless.

Um, no. My arguement is artist can put out a song that references their own culture and others will still love it if it is a good song. If the song move my I will jam but I am honestly getting tired of Bajans not having enough confidence in our own to sing it in a song. As you said Rupee had nuff Bajan references in his music and he was big in Trinidad and get signed.

Actually, the most popular artist in the Anglophone C'bean are out of J'ca and they don't play. Them confident in their culture and going sing to it.
