R City presents ...Everyone with an Accent AIN'T from Jamaica!!!

[sbgal13]

VI people sound like guyanese and trinidadian. Thats what i thought before yall introduced yall self.

[TaioLuv]

I get tired of people asking me if I'm from Jamaica. Saint Vincent born and raised. Love this

[KeepinItClassy247]

One time 4 da VI. Rock City Massive.... *West!!*

[LilMissPebbs]

Big up the Virgin Island's my family from there.. Creque Family big up^

[vicapoeirastar]

Big Up Deh Caribbean. Let deh world know. Love Caribbean People. VI 4 LIFE. Done Know Rep Deh VI Til I Die.

[mimiluvsjb]

Also, as I am a born Cruzian, I can honestly say a Cruzian accent is different from a Thomian accent. Not too different, but different. Also, growing up in a mostly Lucian household, we also speak creole (or we just call it patois). @ItzStillaMyth is right about everyone who speaks creole is not Haitian or from Haiti.

[MsFreethinker101]

I'm African-American/creole. I speak Spanish. My husband is from La Plaine, Dominica. When he was 14, he moved to St. Thomas, V.I. before he came to Houston at 26. So his accent is a mix of two islands, but he sounds more thomian. People gotta be schupid to think that all west indians are from Jamaica. We've been married 3 yrs and I understand everything he says. My fam and friends need a translator though. I find myself naturally speaking like him. 340 reppin'! Yuh dun kno.

[cheerleader4lyfe123]

Rock city reppin fo lyfee!!!

[BRIXXXX66]

DCA all day support the VI, NOW IN Afghanistan....ISLAND SIDE FOREVER

[stylishgyal]

Ppl really need to know this,I can imagine how annoying it must be for other islanders and I honestly don't see how ppl can confuse other caribbean accents with a jamaican one, But then for some reason I can't seem to tell other caribbean accents apart no matter how hard I try they all sound a little sing song to me *smh* lol

[gusmotorsports]

Good job, let them know. Every island accent is unique, lol. I can tell the difference.

[ljbeckford]

Jamaican & Trini accents are the only distinct ones to me, sometimes Barbados.

[JaiiDoubleU93]

This Vid is hella Funny ! && Yes It Got Other Islands Out There Besides JAMAICA !

[EnvyLovely9]

when is the 102 coming out lol

[sunstar465]

I honestly never considered Haiti as a part of the caribbean.Maybe it was because they spoke a complete different language ( unlike patois or any other caribbean slang).I don't know but they obviously are. Anywhoo Big up to all mi island peeps out there.

St.Kitts to di world tho! :)

[lexdiamonds1990]

@sunstar465 how you figure Haitians aren't part of the Caribbean, when there are more Haitians than all the English-speaking islands put together?

[sunstar465]

@lexdiamonds1990 I said " I honestly never considered Haiti as a part of the Caribbean" I said considered as in past tense.Main hatin on Haiti or nothing just saying what i thought before. If you was in a crowd/group with a Trini,Cruzian,Jamaican,Bajan,K­ittitian,...and erybody talkin in they own 'ting' and you put a Haitian in there to talk they own ting, nobody would understand them.Thats why i never thought they were a part of it.I can admit I was ignorant,now I know. : )

[afroboy18]

u not black u from da islands i heard dat shit like crazy when i came here lol

[mimiluvsjb]

@afroboy18 I hear it all the time too and I've only been here for like a year!! At some point I just started asking, "So what am I then? White?" People here just think black is used to describe African Americans.

[tr8642]

@Coubri Most likely only a Jamaican or someone who knows there is a St. Thomas in Jamaica would know about that. Jamaica is not popular for the right reasons, but for the wrong. All the nonisland people associate Jamaica with Bob Marley, the popular rear music, weed, & violence. Might I add weed, violence, & women grinding like they are f*Cking on the dance floor seem to be more popular than anything else. Another thing. money from tourism doesn't seen to make an impact on the poverty. Popular?

[tyshi7]

It's so true though. As soon as they hear an accent "Oh you're from Jamaica" or "Hey Mon." Ugh it annoys me, not that being Jamaican is bad but it's called the Caribbean Islands. It's plural, more than one. Plus, I know Jamaicans and I haven't heard them say "Hey Mon" yet. Steupes.

Big Up to Trinidad and Tobago and ALL the Caribbean Islands. We are the best!

[bahhamiangirl]

Hell i hate that!!! Im no Jamaican! im from the Bahamas!

[MrsTatertots]

ROOOTIIIII!

[BiancaGaSTTVIBabe]

That Shit Be Making Me Vex w/ These Ignorant Ass Ppl.... I Memba When This Girl Ask Weh I From, I Tell Ha St.Thomas. She Goin Say 'Ooh You Jamaican Too' I Was Like Naah Bitch Rock City, St.Thomas, Deh Virgin Islands. Get Yo Shit Straight Dred

[COUBRI]

@BiancaGaSTTVIBabe HOLD UP!!!!! IM JAMAICAN and for ur information ST.THOMAS is a parish in Jamaica my friend so chill out wit the bitch talks...anyone who u go to abt "St. Thomas" 1/10 might get it right and say VI but Jamaica is more popular so thats what most ppl would give you that answer

[KathrynBrookie]

I get the whole accent thing cuz im from Bermuda and ppl dnt realize there are different accent but your right about the Jamaican accent no one understands mostly cuz it not really english.. AND OMG the question ppl ask me are stupid. Most ppl have no idea that bermuda isnt even in the Caribbean. I had someone not even ask but tell me that i live in a stone house with out electricity while i was sitting infront of them with my laptop!!! like come oh how stupid are you !!??

[Ell0hEllSmileyFace]

its like someone sayin u sound like you're of the jerseyshore cast when u knw that you're from the fckn SOUTH!! tired ah ppl asking me if i'm haitian or jamaican lmao that shit does matter, it is a big deal and WE aint gon get over it.... V.I. TiLL I DiE - Twin City Massive

[lakesgoon1]

yall accent close 2 jamaican accent so y yall actn like its a big deal,GET OVER IT.... do yall got beef wit jamaicanz or sumn

[blissmissxx]

@lakesgoon1 the POINT is to differentiate the accents and to make people understand that there are other islands beside jamaica and it can be offensive to people who are non-jamaican when they are labeled as such, not because of any beef with jamaicans but because it just shows ignorance. And there are jamaicans in the vid as well so get off your high horse

[lakesgoon1]

@blissmissxx dc

[lakesgoon1]

@blissmissxx dis aint lakes goon its a fren ov lakes goon hoo posted dat comment so jus chill

[blissmissxx]

@lakesgoon1 whether it's a friend, cousin, brother WHOEVER; the fact is it was posted under that account and THUS i replied as such. So sweetheart, you chill. Case closed

[juic3yCarrib3anL0v3]

@gloria2012

[COUBRI]

@gloria2012 Its the most recognized accent because we talk different we dont sound like were singing if u listen carefully and the jamaican accent is known worldwide and the most impersonated.

[mocatristao]

[swaiyne]

JAMAICA enuh! lol

i love this video. ppl really are dumb asking stupid ass questions like do you live in huts, stay on the beach all day, how is it that u know english, like wtf english is our language but we have a dialect u know.

sorry for all those other caribbean nationals that have ppl asking u if u jamaican, but it aint such a bad thing is it? lol. anyways i understand where u guys coming from cus i'd prolly b annoyed too.

[inquisitive871]

VI and Trini people sound alike.

[MiZzHaNsEn]

@inquisitive871 umm...no...we dont...listen to more trinis and them come and say something. thx

[CaribbeanBeauty]

@inquisitive871 like the Trini guy said, Trinis have a more sing-song type voice...a simple word like "talk" is very different when a VI man say it vs. a Trini man, if you heard them have more of a conversation u can pick up on the difference in their accents

{i reppin Dominica, St. Lucia, & St. Thomas USVI!}

[atlchc8]
