Unless you grew up around them you can’t understand most of the music.

Plus the music peaked in the 90’s. 2000’s

Anyone can taste the food.

 

[Canada Goose]

1) Not

2)I spent a good chunk of my life living in ethier Flatbush or Canarsie which has Jamaican food restaurants


3) Favorite dish is Jerk Chicken with rice n peas and plantains



Favorite song, that's tough I guess I'll choose this one....

I picked both

1. Not

2. Heard the music (Buffalo Soldiers) years before I tasted my first patty.

3. Jimmy Cliff's Many Rivers to Cross . Heard a couple of covers before I heard his song. A variation of this song was my Pop's favorite song, so it reminds me of him.

 

[The BasedFather]

Never had Jamaican food or ever interacted with any Jamaicans. Only heard their music and I like that “So Special” by Movado

Music it is then

[Baka's Weird Case]

i would take the music if i had to choose but like both

1. not at all

2. i had the food a couple of times growing up in texas but had way more when i moved to the boston area. the music i was probably introduced to bob marley before i can remember but that probably doesnt even count. i heard a toots and the maytals song in a movie and then got more into the different genres. considering its population size the amount of cultural influence jamaican music has had is incredible.

3. saltfish and ackee or jerk chicken

favorite song is probably this:

 

[Diondon]

I can't rock with modern dancehall. 90's was my shyt
So food easily

 

[ItsPeople]

90s dancehall > food.

 

[African Peasant]

Both

Great music (from the 70's to the late 90's) and great food

 

[Blessings]

Dancehall music is in the gutter now....It fell off after 2015
