I think he recently was charged with drug trafficking. On a side note, how much do you know about Latin American and West Indian culture? Homophobia is a sad but still big part of the culture down there. It's not surprising that a song that came out 20 years ago would say something against homosexuals.
@xhead13 well homophopia is something that needs to dissapear. people all claim to be so anti racist and "unity" and all that shit, they still hate gay people.
@ldr513 well you cant preach "unity" and hate homophobes as well. just because a group of people dont get along with someone doesnt mean you cant get along with that group
Guys, something really bothers me. usually I don't care about back stories, if there's something wrong I just don't listen. I used to think Tim Armstrong owned epitaph records though and didn't want to support him so I'd have to buy some albums used, then learned he owns Hellcat which is apart of epitaph...
why oh why if Tim isn't homophobic did he sign buju banton? yeah I know the homophobic songs were years ago but.... still. =\
@RukiKatiakicz He only made one homophobic song, and it was never officially released.
Then, when it was released without his permission, he apologized for it, and signed a contract saying he would stop making homophobic music.
Also, the song in question, "Boom Bye Bye", was made when he was 15. I don't know you personally, but I know you must've done, said, or thought something stupid when you were 15. Everyone's stupid at that age.
@RukiKatiakicz Actually, two songs, my bad. The other one was in 1992, when he was 19. Still a teenager, I guess. It bothers me too, but he signed the contract in 2007, and recorded with Rancid in 1998, so whatever. It's never too late to forget your prejudices, in any case.
Stop talking what you don`t know BASED ON CRAP YOU READ ON THE INTERNET.
Batty Rider was about a type of short-shorts that was popular among Jamaican women in the 90s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Buju made 2 anti gay songs, all before 1995. The issue is dead 15 years except for being resurrected by the most ill informed of gay people who try to suggest that this was his current theme.
can anyone please write the lyrics of this song, i googling it around but i got nothing, i really love this song, thanks

It's sad that Rancid speaks up for human rights, but Buju Banton speaks up for gaybashing. Shame on you Rancid, i thought you'd know better
