Why Do People Have a Problem with Skepta Using Jamaican Slang? [UK DEBATE]
Loading...
Uploaded by JumpOffTVUK on Jan 20, 2012
In Skepta's song "You Know Me" he uses the jamaican term "ah wah di bloodclart". After fans and other critics took to Twitter to question the Nigerian rapper about his lyrics, the debaters went in with their own opinions on the matter.
Here are some of the Questions that were raised and discussed:
Are their double standards present when discussing languages/accents/slang?
How far does it go before it becomes a mockery?
Is it more acceptable for black artists to rap with an accent?
What social influences are present in the UK?
American accent/slang vs Jamaican accent/slang
