Jamaican dancehall culture IS what American hip-hop culture wants to be...

[TheRtist]

Bear with me here...

Most Dancehall stars dont write lyrics...

Most Dancehall stars that claim gangsta...really are.

Most Dancehall artists MUST freestlyle battle each other for respect.

Most dancehall stars still live in the ghetto (Jamaica is a 3rd world country)

When fans dont like an artist or there is a beef over mass approval between fans the artists will get thrown off stage (Follow Di Arrow anyone?)

'Sellout' artists get little home love (Sean Paul's been bottled in Jamaica ... NOT when he did Gimmie The Light...etc. but you know which songs...)

feel me?
