Politics aside, his time incarcerated showed he ain't a parasite looool...
Dancehall needs him. He ain't making his best music right now but his freedom put a pep in the genre's step

I did this in year 7 to Kano - Ps and Qs
Big up my Somali bredrin, Abdullahi. He tried to spit bars in PSHE and asked if I could. So I said yeah and tapped the first verse of the song and he thought I was COLD 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Gotta be a balance though. Jamaicans only caring what Jamaicans think has given us the worst Dancehall era 🤣🤣
Current stuff ain’t hitting outside JA as much as it hits in JA
you niggas put WAY too much stock into what people overseas think about our music and not nearly enough stock into what WE think about it. strange.

Why can’t you teach yourself these things? They’re very teachable.
I still can't believe school never taught us about mortgages, credit scores, savings, taxes or budgeting. No proper lessons on rent, interest or debt. Yet somehow we had time for cursive writing, algebra and chemical equations. School prepared us for exams, but not for real life.

Kartel was boosted by the people and a crazy work ethic. The real king.
Banned from radio.
Multiple VISAS taken.
No label support (post prison).
Set trend after trend.
Had songs banned
Also, would Shaggy still be in the conversation if he went prison for 13 years in 2002?

Parent's duty's prepping kids for when we're no longer able to guide 'em
Instilling principles to build whatever life requires of them.
Support them, YES. But don’t remove every obstacle. Encourage them to pursue goals, overcome challenges & earn their achievements

There’s a balance to it, every struggle I went through developed in me a relentlessness that I may not have had if everything was given to me.
My children will have easier lives than me but for their own sake I still need to foster in them the same qualities.
I can’t lie. My son will very much be doing soft life. Lol. I will give him his mortgage deposit and I will help with his driving lessons and first car. He can live at home as long as he likes too. People who want their kids to struggle when they don’t have to are WEIRD

coming from a space of both privileged and self-accomplishment… i agree there needs to be a balance.
i wouldn’t appreciate the things i’ve obtained the same way.
to each their own
Springboard, 1000%.
But support your kids whilst they gather their own sense of achievement, too.
Handing them everything is not a good recipe. Lack of critical thinking, discipline, tenacity, etc. ensues.
I’ve worked with privileged kids… and, boy oh boy

Like I told my mum you gave me a very logical foundation of being self sufficient. BUT
Everything I have is off of my own back. I did that. I’ve lost it & I’ve gone again.
My grind is mine. If I need a 1/2 squeeze I’ll draw for you but I very much go and get it myself
Nothing better in life than sense of accomplishment.
“I did that”, “I can achieve anything”
Become as self efficient as possible whilst still part of a community.

It’s not praying on downfall, I just think you live in a fantasy land where your kid can do whatever he wants at any age with no repercussions or accountability.

Fight comes naturally. Tell your kid you’ll give him £1 for every goal he scores, you watch how much effort he puts in. You think this ‘fight’ thing is life & death struggling. All we’re talking about is making kids understand that the world won’t give them everything for free.
