I think it's fair to "dis" any reggae artist we want to, and Beenie would be at the top of my list. He's just in it for the money, and doesn't care about the message he puts out. He will praise Jah when that's the cool thing to do, then turn around and chat bout "Gangsta for Life."

Technically, Beenie is extremely talented, but I can't enjoy his music anymore since he sold out. "Many Moods of Moses" was a fantastic album, but with the tunes he has put out since, I can't really admire it anymore.

Same thing goes for Sizzla. Early Xterminator-style Sizzla was AMAZING music. Look at "Black Woman and Child"- true reggae classic. But now, when I listen to that album, all I can think about is how police found 'nuff weapons at his compound, and how he is now doing gangsta tunes like "Run Out Pon Dem." Wolf in sheeps clothing nah make it with I.

Just my opinions, and thanks to freedom of speech, no one can tell me not to say it.

Got to respect a man who works as hard as he does. Crazy lyrics,makes reggae more fun , One of the best live performers reggae has to offer . He has a few 7inch singles on Tads very roots for him .
