Ever since the ban on the lewd and violent music true music is now rising according to some commentators.
There are accusations of payolla that have stifled the good music from being played all this time. But it seems as if the people who do lewd music have more money than those who dont, because all good music people had to do is to pay for theirs as well and they would get plays.
It could be though that people really demand the lewd stuff. A mean its a lot of folks who spend their money every year to attend stage shows and sessions around the island, sting almost sell off every year. So there is a market for the lewd and creud.
But this payolla thing to me look as if it has some legitimacy a mean if a song is not good and you keep hearing the DJ wheeling it up and all these things you know some cash get passed on.
There is this one particular track from Harry Toddler, up to this day me seh it must be the riddim, because this song don't really have the ambiance to be a number one.. a mean the competition at the time was not bad. So me a seh money run on 'Don't Run een'... No disrespect to Harry but this one was whack to me. But it did well ..
I see some institutions, public radio in particular already scrap their top 10 dancehall and reggae songs of the week... Hype TV.. being a cable network look like they escape the hangs man noose cause they still have their chart bubbling. But this chart should be factored by what is played on the radio.. Rampin Shop still deh deh.. although ...I understand that the DJ is making a remix of the tune fit for airplay.
This is the top ten tunes of the week according to Hype Tv... Prodigal still a gwaan good ..i hope there is no payolla in this one.. mi woulda really ball out JesusChrist!!
