• Some years ago I thought that all lovers rock is lame and cringeworthy and ragga is the way to go. Now, after some time spent within the industry, I have more respect for Derrick Harriott than Capleton or Sizzla whose music is appealing to my angst and sense of rhythm, but at the same time disgust me, because of the hypocrisy, misogyny, sexism, homophobia and general cult of the ceiling cat. How can I associate myself with guys who bang about Jehova, but smoke crack backstage, drink Henessy, lock their women in the shack next to their house when they're on their periods? Now, pop lovers rock... Very lame, but has it's integrity in place. Still based on a solid craft.

    I respect anyone who can come out on the stage in their local pub and try their material as opposed to any shit which is signed first, then recorded, then video's made.

    Interesting. I have no idea whether Sizzla is a hypocrite or not. Or by the sounds of it a very wicked man. The homophobic side has always bothered me but then most of the musicians I like seem to be flawed. Does it detract from the music?
