Jamaican Brehs, do yall resent Sean Paul?

[chuckifubuck]

Jamaicans were mad back in the day because he didn't rep "real" dancehall, but whatever. They got over it. He repped Jamaica well worldwide.

This is why I'm asking. I always got that impression that back in the day people kinda hated the fact that he was the one that blew up

Sean Paul is a certified dancehall legend and he’s got classics that people aged 30-60+ love. We‘ve never resented him

 

[King Sun]

Them dancehall ig comments would make you think hes Major Lazer status from other Jamaicans

 

[ItsPeople]

Sean Paul on those 90s riddims

If not Sean Paul, must be Vybz Kartel especially now after being released from Jail?

Most non Caribbean people I've met think Bob Marley then Sean Paul when they think of Jamaican music.

 

[Givethanks]

He is by far the most well known dancehall artist globally. Did his run have yardbrehs mad back in the day/now? Was he considered a sellout?

Why do you think this?

My Jamaican friends would say they rather Elephant Man, Beanie Man, or Vybz Cartel

You can respect him but you never trust a man with two first names.

Media funnystyle characters love playing the fool with this. When SP first started out he was pretty self contained. That's where the rumours started, as though he felt he was above working with "real dancehall" artists. As soon as the collabs started popping up all that talk vanished.

 

[Let A Fro Be A Fro]

I remember hearing that Jamaicans were mad at him because he admitted to eating p*ssy

Not a Yardman but any of them foolish enough to do/think that sort of shyt, while giving Vulture Lazer a pass, needs they ass whupped.
Especially if they lived in America, because Sean Paul was the codebreaker for any non verstatile American DJ playing a majority Caribbean crowd and the dancefloor looking anemic.​

Who..who is Vulture Lazer?!!?!?

back in the day the rap shows used to play shabba, mad cobra, buju, beanie, etc.

sean paul made dope music and blew up. if we're keeping it 100 there was some colorism there though.
