Sean Paul - Hold My Hand

Readers of popular dancehall website Outaroad.com may have seen this post titled "Fans disagreed with Sean Paul winning the MOBO Award". Saw it amongst a bunch of other posts made by @Outaroad's twitter account. Skipped past all of them, but then something told me (6th sense? Jah? Who knows?) to check the Sean Paul to see what they were saying. Low and behold they quoted my MOBO Award blogpost lol.

Sean Paul walking away with MOBO award for Best Reggae Album has left many persons upset saying that it's impossible that he won the award especially his album was recently released in summer.

Sean Paul surprisingly beat out Serani, Movado, Taurus Riley and the lyrical genius Vybz Kartel to make it his second time winning the prestigious MOBO award.

According to Marvin Sparks from BlogSpot.com, "you give this to Sean Paul? Been inactive for 3 years (same length since we had a Reggae artist), released one dead song (which didn't sound Reggae to me but still), 'bout to release another dry song, yet you bless him with a MOBO? Is that how cheap a MOBO award is?

"That was Serani's award. Can't we go back to when you helped buss songs to the mainstream? Without MOBO I doubt Beenie Man's Who Am I, Mr Vegas' Heads High or Sean Paul's Gimme Di Light would have charted so high (Beenie top 10, think other 2 were top 20), Serani deserved that award."
First thing I thought: proof read in case something gets quoted again. To be real, I wrote it the night of the MOBOs (awards finished at about 12ish, blog finished @ about 1.30ish) before I went bed. I meant "(same length since we had a reggae performance)". Onea dem "started so I'll finish" ones else I would have made sure the checks were done. Second thing, I represent the fans yeah? I'm cool with that. Thank you to whoever saw my post and deemed it worthy of quoting.

Don't think of this as an apology. Mi nah tek back no talk!!!

This tune here is a boomshell! Just heard it on the gorgeous Max's 1Xtra show so I'm guessing/hoping it is released over here instead of Press It Up. It will work much better for the UK audience and was the main song which stood out to me at the Imperial Blaze listening session. Didn't have Keri Hilson on at the time but he did point out he'd have a special feature on there. Judging by her tweets around her performance at Reggae SumFest Keri likes her reggae. Big fan of Jah Cure (click for my exclusive interview with him) and Lady Saw.



Fans of the dancehall music scene need Sean Paul to do well. Hopefully this song shines the light back on to him, and maybe the scene while we are at it! *Raises glass of no frills orange juice (I'm not a drinker)* Here's to success.

If you aren't familiar with the beef between Pimpin Curly and Officer Ricky, get familyar! Originates from Rick Ross dissin 50 on The Inkredibles produced banger Mafia Music. "We're steppin on your crew 'til the motherfucker's crushed And making sweet love to every woman that you lust I love to pay her bills, cant wait to pay her rent Curtis Jackson baby mother aint askin for a cent Burn the house down, you gotta buy another..."

White band win Reggae Grammy x Koffee x Skillibeng

So a white American reggae band called Soja won the Best Reggae album award at the Grammy's? And you care because? You feel Jamaicans are losing reggae because the Grammy's (a white institution) gave their white American man award to a white American reggae band? You blame the Jamaican government for not showing enough love and support to the music because this is the result? But you don't realise you are giving the Grammy's that much power and don't see where the problem lies? Well let me tell you; the problem is within you. I understand the outrage. Jamaicans built the music and are rarely compensated for all the hard graft. There have been countless examples of the music being used by someone else, often to better results because we live in an ignorant and racist Western world. Historically, white reggae artists like The Police or UB40 are able to achieve better results in the white man's world than reggae artists that are far superior to them. Bruno Mars , J...
