Some of the best marketing ever that was. I swear half the country still think he invented jerk sauce! (It's meant to be very nice though)

I don't have enough time to pretend I'm Jamaican, because I'm always too busy affecting the speech patterns and imitating the mannerisms of the Compton gangstas I see on television.

If I were God I'd promise my believers somewhere reasonably warm but still quite temperate with rich alluvial deposits for agriculture, oh and no mosquitoes or locusts. Somewhere like Bordeaux or the Loire regions of France.

If I were God,I'd call a mulligan and start over.

lol didnt think this would get any responses, but I'm in 4 philosophy courses right now so philosophical debate of god and religion is all i hear everyday, i guess a better question would have been something like does the word "jah" hold any relevance in dubstep to the majority of producers or does it just sound cool? maybe its just my over analytical philosophical issues with christianity

vibe

noun
a distinctive emotional aura experienced instinctively

Jah is of key importance to this scene, whether producers take heed or not.

Some of us, many of the producers among us im sure, have studied Reggae, Dub, Jamaican culture, the lives of notable Jamaican citizens and of course, Rastafarianism.

You dont have to agree with all of the tenants of any religion, to see and understand the importance of certain portions of it.

In the Rastafari religion, music is ESSENTIAL to attaining contact and conversation with a higher power. I dont care who you are, but if you are a musician, you understand the universal truth in this.

Also, the practice of smoking herb to bring you closer to the earth and a higher power is also of key importance. They despise alcohol, especially the rum, which they see as a true destroyer of the jamaican people. Clearly, they arent crazy.

Jamaica, the Jamaican people, and the Jamaican history are all vitally attached to Dubstep and this scene, its an indestructible fusion.
