3. To how it is now, maybe not fully globalize. The world is becoming more sensitive these days and to fully be globalised the battyman thing and skettel thing etc would have to cut out and i know many arent willing to quiver with the lyrics cause basically thats a part of the whole dancehall feel

 True dat!

Trouble in Europe & UK with Gay rights activists. In Australia dancehall is a mainly underground thing. Slowly it is gaining populaity but most people don't understand the lyric... jus like the vybe. If they new what some of the tune I run innna dance were actually saying...???

If dancehall gets big enuff here then there will be problems with those lyric. It's all "political correctness" & "tolerance" in this counrty.

There have been some threads on a forum called www.ozreggae.com which were a well heated discussion/argument on the subject of GAY.

Rastas = Homophobes
Homophobic Lyrics in Reggae & Dancehall
Why the gay hatred?
Not a quiz but opinion, what we thinks about it

Looks like Lady Saw & Spragga Benz are both heading to Australia this year. Lady Saw is playing a huge festival called 'The Big Day Out' which started in the early 90's & was an alternative music fesival (Nivana b4 they were huge & that type of thing)... be interesting to see how mainstream Australia respond???
