Numero, I'm disappointed.*writes disciplinary for Numero*Anything less than an essay on Jamaica is not acceptable from you.

It's Sunday man. God rested, why cant I? But on a real I dont have to say anything more than I've said before. You know what I'm gonna sayWe've run Black culture and had a major influence in pop culture for the longest but the powers that be had you lot believe we are wastemen when infact everyone should be proud of what a little island of under 4mils people have achieved as far as flag being known, music being known and majority of people can point to our island. White countries much bigger than us cant even boast that.That good enough or you want more? I dont have to write no homo, man ah Jamaican, simi?

Come on fam, yes I agree ja has made big influences but to say jamo's 'run black culture' is generalising differently.

[Numero001]

well excuse me for thinking that it was american people that created this american genre of music....sheesh

probably understandable as they reinvented it. its probably what they do best, re inventing different art forms and adding flair to it, then its repackaged back to everywhere it came from.the documentary on HH covered its history best, giving everyone their dues,

+ money and your spot on

[Goddaz]

goddaz, thought u wud know about DJ KOOL HERC. smh

What made you think I didn'tStill, his regarded as the founder, thats not the same as saying he was unequivocally the founder imo

In reality it's US dumb African Americans but 'cause they got money. They cat from Yard all the time though. For a country that uses $0 to promote their culture compared with the impact it's higher than US by miles, the world over. It's just you cant see it 'cause there arent videos being pumped and films arent made and pumped full of money. FACT!

i dont think its the money all the time its just the way these things are integrated into their culture, and everyone else is tuned into their culture so you will get it repackaged as american. to say that jamaica 'runs' black culture is you also being a dumb jamican then bcos you exclude africa and the much larger black nation (after the largest one)...brasil.

[Angelo]

It's a fusion of African/Carribean, & Latin American culture and music which gives way to the music we have today.Going on like Jamaica conceived and produced this genre on its own is ignorant.Thats just ignorance.You're all ignorant.

Africans never gave a f*ck about Africa 'til the turn of the century, if that. Ask Goddaz, his generation was all tryna speak with the Yardie twang.What does the whole of Africa bring to the rest of the world? And what does Brasil bring? They are only known to the majority because of football and nothing else.Everyone knows Jerk Chicken, I couldnt tell you one thing thats a traditional meal in Brasil. All I know about Brazil is favella's, yute man gangsta's and them man are shower. None of that is specific to Brasil. Ghetto's are everywhereDancehall is its own music. Them man never knew f*ck all about any other music except for Jim Brown, Dolly Parton, Marvin Gaye and them type of people

[Skola]

you could say jamaica did all that stuffbut where are the (black) jamaicans from? Africa.Im not tryin to 'claim' everything jamaicas done as africanbut thats there roots, as far as i knowsame with african americans (obviously)basically if your african you will probably have seen things in ur culture and been like - hmm thats kinda like *somthing*example:the way americans go "daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn" and "oooooooooooooooooh-weeeeeeeeee" in arabic theres somethiing very similar (yazole - sp?) that people say in a similar context*doubts anyone will understand*p.s. i think its a combination of the afircan roots and western influence which has made jamaican and african america culture so accessible and popular

KMTSMH comboWTF? Africans always come with that dumb talk. I always give the same respone, plainface followed by: no one has given a f*ck about Africa since slavery. Why hasnt anywhere in Africa made the impact on culture like little Jamaica has done? I mean if it's the roots, wheres your music at? Wheres your slang? I also have to remind Africans that they never wore reg, gold and green 'til Jamaicans

yeah ok.. every may 'know' jerk chicken not that jerk chicken is some intl'l food is it? but then ur talkign waste there so i wont fall for it i'd accept that the language barrier doesnt make most brits aware of other non english speaking cultures like brasil, but break dance is to brasil as HH is to being 'invented' in jamaica, as is Krumping, as is what you have as Mixed martial arts / UFC today, and most things about blk culture that i would claim are brasilian are originally african anyway. so keep being silly --->

[Angelo]

Just for arguments sake, off the top of my head:Brazil - Samba (Music), Capoeira (Dance/Martial Arts), Carnival, Bossa Nova (Music)Mas Que Nada? Heard of it?I cant be bothered to go into it fully.But to go on like Brazil and Africa haven't contributed to the level and more, than Jamaica has really is in invalid point.Brazil was pretty much the conceiver of syncopation and off beat rhythms found in all beat music. It and Jamaica are both places born of immigration and both, similarly, produce results of the mixture of people found in each place.

African Americans are dumb. I say that all the time, not only in this instance. They call each other nigger and try to justify it, they are scum of the Earth. Real-life zombies in every sense of the word, generally have limited integrity as people 'cause they are so fool.Limited Tourist Board money isnt money. People gravitate to Jamaica 'cause of the culture and that does much more than the limited money spent.Wasnt saying theyre dumb because of that, check above.One example, dreadlocks

:DBut on a real, your sh*t aint really Black culture is it? I mean who does the samba? Thats middle-class people that work in PR and bank or 40+ year-old fat women that eat ready-made meals that go when their husbands gone to the pub with his mates. Breakdancing is the only one I give you
