A Yah So Nice Is Not So Nice


     


 
       Potential Kid " A Yah So Nice" hit song has been dominating dancehalls, clubs and radio stations that plays dancehall and Reggae music all across the world for the past couple of months, but have you ever listen to the lyrical contents of this song?

       I find it to be really disturbing and think it is sending the wrong message to youths and I am mostly emphasizing on the line when he said he would rather rape a woman before becoming a homosexual. I think this highly offensive for females, especially females who are victims of rape.

      Some people may argue that he is just trying to emphasize how much he loves women, but if that's his objective he totally defeated the purpose with that line. Simply because that's imposing violence on women.

      Our culture despise rapist and any act that imposes violence on women. This moral that is upheld by a lot of people will eventually be change drastically if we continue to produce songs like this, with negative lyrics and catchy nursery rhyme melodies to sneak in the minds of irresponsible adults, and our youths who are our adults of tomorrow. This will cause a society break down, since they would just live what they learn. This is a message to our producers and our artistes, please don't underestimate the power of the music; it is a weapon and it can be effective in whichever way it is used good or bad.
P.S ( PLEASE USE MUSIC RESPONSIBLY)

Busy Signal Release New Album April 24th 2012



BUSY SIGNAL'S ANTICIPATED ALBUM REGGAE MUSIC AGAIN

RELEASED DIGITALLY AND IN STORES IN THE CARIBBEAN ON APRIL 10

Available In Stores on April 24 in United States




Due to the overwhelming response from fans and industry alike, Busy Signal's benchmark album Reggae Music Again will be available digitally and in stores throughout the Caribbean on April 10. The U.S. in-store release date remains on April 24. This forthcoming album on VP Records shows the dancehall artist in a new light as he pays homage to his roots with a full set of traditional reggae songs.




Better known for his sharp-spitting rhymes on hardcore dancehall hits like "Tic Toc" (remixed by M.I.A. and Rye Rye) and "Wine Pon De Edge," Busy Signal emerges as a charismatic roots reggae artist. The intricate, multi-layered one-drop rhythms heard on Reggae Music Again were created by some of Jamaica's most acclaimed musicians (Kirk Bennette, Aeion Hoilette, Lamont Savory, Kevon Webster, Robbie Lyn and Dean Fraser), and recorded live at Kingston's legendary Tuff Gong studios.




Even though this is a stark departure from the sequenced beats that have dominated most of Busy's previous material, it is not the first time fans will embrace his singing. In 2011, Busy covered the classic country song "The Gambler," originally sung by Kenny Rogers for the Reggae's Gone Country compilation, and his ballad-like renditions of the 1985 Commodores' hit "Night Shift" and Phil Collin's "One More Night" off his last album D.O.B. were well-received and showed his versatility as an artist. All these songs were catalysts and motivation for his traditional approach heard on Reggae Music Again.




"Being a Jamaican, I feel like it is my duty to highlight and contribute to reggae music, and with the encouragement of my management and musicians who played on this record, it all came together," states Busy. "This album is like a renaissance for me, a rebirth - reggae style," he adds.




In addition to the full-length album, VP Records will release a vinyl companion piece, entitled REGGAE Music Dubb'n Again, available April 17, special for Record Store Day on April 21. The exclusive LP will feature extended dub mixes for six of the album's songs, which are all mixed and engineered by Shane Brown and his legendary father Errol Brown.
