"Fake" Dancehall/Raggae - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**Mello** · 06-21-2008, 05:27 PM

I swear I heard that dude Sean Kingston on BET speaking clear English. Dude may be from Jamaica but if you don't actually have the accent is it perpetrating? Same with Shaggy... The guy lives in NY and clearly has no accent when speaking normally. I see fans/press making double standards within music. Does them being black make a difference?

Do we remember Snow? And how much flack this white canadian got for his raggae hits? And Wtf about UB40?

(A friendly music debate is all this is... Don't make it out to be something it's not!)
