That was your "lyrics" song Stephon?..and then you post a mediocre pop song, to help the argument, that you know what good music is?....your avatar makes more sense to me now.

I see comprehension wasn't your strong point in primary school, that isn't a "lyrics" song, nor have I identified what I think a "lyrics" song is. As a matter of fact a "lyrics" song isn't a term I would use.

And i guess vocabulary wasn't yours, because literally, or figuratively, that tripe barely qualifies as "lyrics"...it's literally one or two sentences, with portions repeated...look up the meaning of "lyrics" sometime..it doesn't mean saying a few dis-jointed words to music.

[Stephon.]

I was replying to
"Listen someting with some lyrics nuh."

The song I posted has lyrics, back to my comprehension comment.

[shogun]

Use of the singular form lyric to refer to a song's complete set of words that is grammatically acceptable However it's not considered acceptable to refer to a singular word in a song as a lyric.


you were saying?

[Stephon.]

If I answer that people will think both of us went Junior Sec schools, I'd rather just let everyone think you're the only one that did.

jump an wave jump up an wavex10

[shogun]

Yeah, go with that answer.

wow...y'all fackers went WAAAAY off-course, came back in for a bit and then veered again

anyways...on-topic

I'm actually kinda scared to think about if Soca becomes a Yearly production for 2 reasons:

the Quality will Decrease because Artists will just push any and everything out to make quick money instead of compiling the best for Performing

Artists will blend Dancehall into Soca until we cant tell the difference



Other than that though I love Soca and it is our culture and should be promoted as an integral part of trini heritage---- look what dancehall does for Jamaica

Your two concerns have already come to pass, the first being proven for the greater part of a decade and the second happened just this year.

Case in point:


Exactly WHICH part of that was soca? Yet he says "we soca again" in the song, when clearly one could easily think it was Busy Signal chookin' he han' in d ting.

[crazybalhead]

Dear Gord, please doh make someone post Dahrude...please, I beggin yuh.

Talking about beggin yuh:

Listen to the universal appeal. Friendship.



Now listen to this, take a step back and view it from an international perspective:



What the fvck is he singing???? Even other islanders can't understand the sheit he's on about.

Now...I saw a program years ago about international music and this is not a new phenomena, oru soca music tends to be myopic with a view to creating some vapid nonsense to wine to for a very short season.

Destra once said in an interview that she is not taking voice lessons, "Why I have to do that?", that's the prevailing attitude, and that is why Soca will go nowhere.


Right, now that I've said that, we still have some gems:

This is tune, nice rhythm and hard lyrics.
