[tellmewhatiKNOW]

god, that accent is so sexy.

[RizNJ]

I can't believe people are still talkin about this dude's background. He's a MAJOR artist in the islands, esp. Jamaica. U catz are crazy. Ur millions of records too late.

[DonnaJaaa]

HE, is fkn sexy!

[toomany0034]

is that dude talking or singing, dum Trini or Bago

[blackandmild77]

@jahlionpr Is strange dat you said the crowd wasnt feeling him at all, because his music is very popular dung yah. Even on the Sirius Satelite radio " 42 the joint" mi hear him music often,

[lot24]

He sounds that way cause it's a mix of southern US and Bermuda accents.

[1xXxEMOBOYxXx4]

respect from england ^_^

[RizNJ]

@jahlionpr - I'm not going by MTV (which I don't watch). I'm going by living there. And I know he is not on the top level. Again, you're missing my point. There are many dancehall artists bigger than Collie Buddz in JA. But all of this questioning about what is he trying to do cuz he's white, is not happening in the islands. He's an established artist and it's just not an issue. Bless.

[jahlionpr]

@RizNJ, kool kool...but the crowd wasn't fickle when it came to the other artistes...besides, you said he's a MAJOR artiste in the islands ESPECIALLY Jamaica...my yute, trust me...Jamaicans not studying Collie Buddz like that. He had some real good exposure with that tune "Come Around" but outside of that people not really ON him like dat dung a yard. MTV and the American media in general got people fooled. Things run very differently in the West Indies to how it's portrayed on TV.

[RizNJ]

@jahlionpr -- You misunderstand what I'm saying. I am not saying that he's the best foreign artist in JA. What I mean is there is no "who is this White guy?" reaction to Collie Buddz. Any dancehall fans in JA know his music and respect him as a real artist. His race is not an issue at all. Whether they love his music or not.

And not being felt at a reggae concert is not that rare. Jamaican crowds are very fickle. lol.

[jahlionpr]

@RizNJ, actually I saw Collie Buddz perform in Jamaica and the crowd wasn't feeling him at all. He has sold millions of records, but don't get it twisted, his biggest fan base is in the U.S. and Europe...so to say "especially Jamaica" is quite misleading. When it comes to foreign reggae artistes, for years now the most respected white reggae artiste in Jamaica is Gentleman (from Germany)...Collie Buddz is not even on their radar. It's not about being a "hater" but let's keep it real.

Jamaican is not a race by the way. It's a culture. The Island is mostly of African descent but, you can find many people of various backgrounds including European (gasp!!!) there and other Caribbean Islands as well. He's obviously overemphasizing his own accent to play into the whole dancehall vibe. This is nothing new, black reggae artists do it all the time. Leave his race out of it. You sound ignorant. Real west indians don't give a damn, if the music is fyah, that is all that matters.
