Spice dishes out more than just sexual content
Jamaica has, for as long as many of us can remember, been at the forefront of Caribbean music with both its reggae and subsequent dancehall genres. From Bob Marley and the Wailers, Peter Tosh and Burning Spear, to today’s Vybz Kartel, Popcaan and female sensation, Spice, much of what we hear across the urban airwaves in T&T is depicted by the lifestyles, moods and thoughts of Jamaican entertainers. While many adults see today’s dancehall lyrics as suggestive, lewd and destructive to the minds of our young people, one dancehall queen is saying that while she knows her lyrics are sexually suggestive, the onus must be on parents to ensure their children are kept in check, as it relates to what they listen to and absorb.
