@taharka2018 was thinking of your analysis and this one I believe fits the bill of is in Jamaican speaking from a Kmtyu perspective about life deh i.e., singing from Kmt not singing about Kmt.

@AfroN8V Aesthetic “speaking from Kmt” – riddim, word sound.
Politically “speaking from Kmt” — is the ideological leaning.
My issue with “message music” is tht there needs to be greater specification of bakra as enemies & enemy culture and Abibitumi objective, more so than chanting down “babylon” (which is ideologically vague). The absence of this makes for a social justice message more so than Abibitumi type force. Beenie Man “Africans” is one of, if not the best at this, where aesthetic of Kmtyw m Jamdung aligns with Nationalist political message. Yeza, yung sistren, is very close to that (her historical grounding in Afrikan speaks to the growth of our intellectual wing in my opinion)
Capelton aesthetically moves between dancehall and roots, so the aesthetic aspect will be from Kmtyw m Jamieka. The message of self-sufficency in food crisis in Jamieka is the ultimate strength of Ras politics. It isn’t specified as a colonial=bakra problem or even chinee dem, the message would be more powerful from a Abibitumi stand point.-
@taharka2018 hear you, don’t you think Capleton does that (enemy specification) in Cooyah Cooyah, weh im seh bun di queen of england, john paul di second, di vatican, kwk?

@AfroN8V some reason I can’t direct reply to your Cooyah Cooyah in thread.
I think when it came out it was fya and I will always be favorable to anything that disses the welfare queen of england, but at the same time him bon out obeah which kinda gets to the general problem of christianism in rasta movement (as Muta has lamented many times). But I think it is a very good song though. also, the welfare queen an dope head of catholics are more like “bad white people” as oppose to crakkkaz being crakkkaz in general. That said, I think it is a good track overall
