Busy Signal's "We Nah Dweet" hits out at Down Low life & a certain Kartellic act

So another tune from the dancehall hits out at down low gay life In Jamaica and certain references in the song are clearly directed at Metrosexual demi god, Erotic sexually laced tunes DJ and King of the Rub (skin bleaching) Vybz Kartel 

Vybz Kartel changed image that caused some negative reactions

who continues to blur the lines of male sexuality in Jamaica while still remaining ever popular, that is also not to say he is the only one as others before such as Elephant Man (orange hair and pink clothes etc), Harry Toddler (blonde hair with puffs and ribbons) to name a few, Kartel in this instance has merged the public persona of Michael Jackson one of his favourite artists into his own while keeping a metro-sexual/hyper-masculine tinge to it as well while also breaking the rule of colour clothing and dawning the sometimes male despised PINK with the transformation right before our eyes all the time promoting the "Cake Soap" he is loved by gays and straights alike although in some circles his heterosexual following has been uncomfortable with his ever changing and seemingly outrageous appearances and his stereotypically gay themed clothing as described in some quarters, his songs are played repetitiously everywhere more than any other DJ right now which makes him the envy of many not to mention how infectious they even children know them verbatim. 

The Busy Signal track which first came out in July 2011 has been getting some attention both on radio and in the dancehall inclusive of the ever popular mixtape marketing tool. Apart from hinting that there are thugs or hyper-masculine types who are on the downlow he also hits out at oral sex which is a regular formulae used by dancehall acts to not to make the message exclusively anti gay but mixed, possibly to avoid direct criticisms and scrutiny from pro gay activists.

 

Busy Signal's song lyrics goes as follows: (the subtle hints are translated)

Hothead
See it deh
Caw from wah day

and dem nah, yuh see it
Deam a lead di yutes dem astray

Hold on, stick a pin mek me ask assassin
A nuh dancehall dat? no a blues dem a sing
Di CD a spin and di fans listening

(see the closeted fly we are seeing everything) [suggesting Vybz Kartel is in the closet]
Dem bite everything

Paparazzi a write everything

Chorus

Rept Verse one

Refrain

ENDS

Vybz Kartel's public persona being feminized by possibly his detractors as the source of origin of this one of many replaced head images are unknown.

Overall the song also represents a backlash of sorts of the protectionism of the much guarded "Jamaican machismo" that is so cherished that even hyper-masculine types on the down low will resort to public homophobia to protect their space or person from any effeminate references or acts from other males viewed as lesser than male.

Peace and tolerance
