Am I Gonna Vote Doe?

Inspired by this Cut The Chat spesh, presented by Christiana (check out her blog. I call her Hammer 'cos she's always on point) and the dude from Adulthood that had the constant screw face. My friend said he looked like he was holding a wasp prisoner in his mouth. Not me, I said my friend. Anyway, his name is Femi O supm supm another (Onyiran? Oyinran?). And yeah they take to the streets to ask people their reasons for and against voting.



Anyway, 6th May = Election where we vote for the po-lie-trick-cian dem a.k.a. politician. I always vote so don't holla at me, but I question why I vote. People say "If you don't vote, you can't complain" or "This is your chance to make a difference" but is that h'acktually true?

I can kinda understand the latter, but not the former. I can't complain either way! Well I can, but it won't change anything. To me the former is similar to the old "If you haven't got anything to hide, why complain?" in support of holding people's DNA on database, CCTV camera, and all the other "big brother/nanny state" stuff.

Let's be honest, our votes merely select who we want to take the piss with our lives and place the blame on for why the country is a mess.

Without revealing who I'm voting for, it's purely lesser of evils, but does that h'acktually achieve anything in terms of helping the situation?

Anyways, forget the above statement, I'm saying good luck Green Party! When you get into power, mek sure you legalise di 'erb (marijuana/sensi/plant found on King Solomon's grave...). #RandomInfo I actually know someone who used both his and, well, stole his brothers card to vote for the Green Party for that very reason. Big 25 year old man at the time too. Oh how we laughed.

We all know who's gonna win. Them opinion poll people never asked me, nor my mandem or sistrin dem who we are voting for, so who did they ask? That's what I wanna know! All of a sudden, people who decided to vote off those with talent on X-Factor and Britain's Got Talent are now asked to put on an intellectual head to vote for who they want to run the country. Once a sheep, always a sheep. Majority of mainstream media are going down one road, the sheep are bound to follow.

Sidebar: In Jamaica they say the only time you see politicians is election time. Swear I never see nor hear from mine until them times too lol.

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...
