SERIOUSLY?

Not only did Buju Banton refuse to agree to anything when he met with gay rights activists in San Francisco, he's now throwing up an iron wall — and declaring war. In an interview with a Jamaican talk show, the homophobic reggae artists says he's still in "a fight" with the Gs. And is pleased to be engaged in batt

ehuffnsd said:

Yep, I love most of his music which has nothing to do with his homophobic views. I'm of Jamaican descent and I'm quite aware of how homophobic the culture is. But that doesn't mean I can't like his music since I don't espouse his personal views. Buju is a very talented artist and I like a lot of his message.

Some people no matter how ignorant they are and how much you try to enlighten them will not see the light for whatever reason. 95% of Buju's music is very positive and uplifting and I'm not gonna stop liking it because of his 5% that's based on some ignorant thought. Prince says and does a lot of shit I don't like or agree with and I still support him. So, to each his own.

i'm not a big fan of supporting people who make their money off of hating people like me.

someone not as enlightened as you could hear the message and say ok fine let's go shoot those mutha fuckin faggots.

ehuffnsd said:

I can respect that.

ehuffnsd said:

Well, I'm not one to blame violent acts on the music that people listen to. If someone goes out and does that they had that intent in them to begin with and that's not the artist's fault and it's a slippery slope to blame artists for the bad acts commited by individuals. Like I said, I don't agree with his stance on the gays, but the attitude in Jamaica, is EXTRA homophobic and ignorant, and his attitude is accepted and encouraged in a way it's not in the US. I've posted articles on here about it before.

SCNDLS said:

i mean what if i said i love this music, but just don't agree with their point of view




i'm sure you'd have a WTF moment and be like why in the hell would you want to support that

SCNDLS said:

Uh,,,David Ruffin Leon? J.T. Matthews Leon? Little Richard Leon?

What exactly did he per4m?

ehuffnsd said:

Like I said, his songs that mention gays are maybe 3 or 4 in a catalog of 100s of songs. As far as I know, none of his songs are an anti-gay rant like Boom Bye Bye. So it's not like me going to his concert is tantamount to attending an anti-gay or KKK rally. Most of his songs are very positive.

I'm sure that a LOT of artists feel the same way he does they just didn't put it in a song. Just like I'm sure that a lot of the rock acts I like are probably some racist muthafuckas. We all have to choose for ourselves how we are going to spend our dollars and who we're going to support. I still like Buju and would have no problem telling him that he's ignorant as hell when it comes to gays, if I ever had the chance.

Harlepolis said:

David Ruffin/Little Richard Leon! I likedta died. Apparently he's really good friends with Beres and tours with him from time to time for years now. He sang with him but didn't say his name so nobody knew who the hell it was. I was standing in VIP by the soundboard and he came by us and I was like OMG! That's Leon from waiting to exhale He supposedly has a band and an album out or about to come out.

SCNDLS said:

I can dig it

I've heard from couple of people that the man can somewhat sing. I'm def intrested in the outcome.

Uhh this Tuesday I'm going see Jay-Z and I don't know what to expect...

Ok, the last concert I've been to was by this cat...


Actually it was more of an after hour gig than a concert.

Harlepolis said:

I can't wait to see him in 2 weeks

ABeautifulOne said:

I've always enjoyed Jay live, his band is really good.

SCNDLS said:

Is he sharing the bill with someone else though?

I noticed that he rarely makes a solo concert, there's always somebody with him,,,,,last time it was Ledisi(who raised a MADHOUSE hell might I say) and a cameo by Teedra Moses and Joss "Mucus throat" Stone.

You'll have a good time, sis

SCNDLS said:

Yeah I forget he always has a kick ass band on performances but I can't really enjoy myself this time because I have to sit and review the show for a class...

Harlepolis said:

I'd LOVE to see him with Ledisi that heffa BAD! The bill is Raphael Saadiq with Melanie Fiona and Anjulie

I'm listening to It Never Rains in Southern Cali right now

I'm sure you'll still manage a toe tap, head nod, and booty shake here and there
