MJ watching Shottas just made my Jamaican heart so happy! A little fun fact about how we speak: Jamaican Patois is a dialect with its own slang. Also, there are Jamaicans of various races just like Americans (thanks to colonization) so the accents tend to sound different. In the school system students are taught how to speak "proper" English and encouraged to speak it more than patois in more formal settings (not sure if this is still a strict thing) so we're kinda raised to know how to switch our accents depending on who we're speaking to lol
Patois is closer to a language than a dialect really. And tbh Patois doesn't have slang either as it would get very problematic trying to determine slang from just synonyms lol.
Jamaican creole/Patois/Patwah is a language, not a dialect. If its a dialect then all languages that now exists are dialects. In the movie they were speaking the mesolect of the language, not pure Patwah. There are Jamaicans of various races but not like America, because those races are less than 5% of Jamaica. Jamaicans are bilingual, we are taught two languages, one is our mother tongue language (Patwah) and the other is standard English language. We arent raised to know how to switch our accent because twanging is looked down on in Jamaica however Jamaicans are masters at masking our accent if we choose but not something we would do in Jamaica.
This Belly,Baby Boy n Scarface was in constant rotation in my house growing up..seeing her reaction is funny af n Jamaica they grow up hella fast n dgaf early
..whos afraid to embrace his Palestinian roots, and will get unplugged by whom ever own him if he speaks up .. Bout a year ago a fat grown man had to get picked up by two men Kuz he didn’t want step on the ground with his Jordan-Nike ..
16:51 Movie fact: the Director’s son J.R. Silvera played Young Wayne while Spragga Benz (Wayne)’s son Carlyle Grant Jr played young Wayne. Carlyle died from getting shot by cops at the age of 17 in 2007.
I know you did are you girls love bad boys it's okay to love someone😂❤ love for everyone love for Jamaica one big black love 💕 Jamaica in All blacks unite as one I am a black American I got love for Jamaica Jamaica gangsters and girls 🇯🇲 love to my Jamaican Brothers
Hey stumbled upon thisand trust me im🇩🇴 and my mother sent me back home becaishe didnt want me influenced by her family here in nyc and the hood we grew up in and i saw alot back home but raised in in another country made me strong made me a responsible man and a man of principles also instiled values in me and i got to endulge in my culture and learn my real roots and history because you know America schools with history is shaken public school
48:05 I love how you ended the video differently with the accent as that’s gold as I definitely enjoyed watching your great reaction to one of my favorite old gangsta movies! Thank you! 😁😎🇯🇲🎬🎥👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
The original movie was the highest selling bootleg of all time in 1999. The version you're watching is the edited version. Its not the one we had on VHS that we got from the barbershop or reggae spot .
You do know Jamaican is a Nationality, right? That means just like in America people native to Jamaica speak the language like how you speak English even though you're Latina.
i like ur reaction cuz ur innocence and naivety is cute😂 and i love it...the way in every movie u look for the good in folks shows ur heart❤️...cuz the way the kids were in this movie isnt unbelievable cuz im from college park, and grew up in the 80s and we were just like this at that age...and its kids like this in every city in urban america....art imitates life, so these stories u see are nothing but folks telling stories about what they witnessed
This is my first time watching Shottas this movie is underrated fasho 💯 and i’m glad my first time is watching it alongside your Reaction video Keep it up MJ 🙌🏿
29:12 and Dj Khaled makes a cameo appearance this youngster didnt even pause to notice, let alone not acknowledge Haitian band leader of the Fugees, Wyclef Jean. Both dudes made multi-platinum records maybe before she got grown and into the music culture. It all went sour at or around 2018 thanks to social media
Hey Mj i showed my friends that you liked my comment ❤❤❤ I’m deeply appreciative of that and that literally made my day thank you And my God bless you ❤❤❤
3:39 Aye, I see you, MJ, as I dig that! Jamaican music be just as bomb like this movie as this is one of my favorite Jamaican songs along with some Bob Marley jams as his son nailed this movie. 😎🇯🇲🎧🎶🎬🎥
The Toyota you liked in the beginning of the movie was a Land cruiser imported to Jamaica directly from Japan . Japanese market Land cruisers tend to have more small accents that enhance its look compared to the U.S Land cruisers. And You're right Land cruisers are good looking SUVs from Toyota. That white Mitsubishi Challenger/ Nativa that the Politician got shot up in was nice as well, it too has accessories that we didn't get on our U.S version.
Seen in 3 times, was literally looking to see it again tonight and then I open RUclips and see this videos, taking it as a sign to see it again tonight✌🏾
24:54 For some reason, I wasn't surprised that you didn't recognize Louie Rankin (Ox from Belly) lol. Rest in peace to him, I wish he was in more movies, during his time. I could see him in shows like Power, BMF, Chi, etc, if he was still alive. Also, he kinda looks like my uncle ✝️🙌🏾🌹🌹🌹 P.S, we still need that Exit Wounds, Cradle To The Grave, and Never Die Alone, reaction. Let's keep the DMX movie train going and catch you up 😎
Lovely reaction to one ofbour best movie out there...its depicting the culture of our country...badman culture n how they live when migrated to another country
The accent is very important becuz Biggs can easily play both sides and got best of both worlds. Black ppl of Caribbean or Latino heritage can trick u and use language and accents to their advantage in America. It’s all about assimilating, his American swag shows when he was in Miami, the way he dressed and all but he can switch and speak patois around the homies or other Jamaicans. Alpo from East Harlem is a perfect example. He’s technically Puerto Rican by culture but he look like a Black American man. So by him being born and raised in America and he got the black Americans swag and from the interviews that’s what it seems like he always hung around u can say he was a black man of Puerto Rican lineage lol U should look him up when u get a chance he was a real drug kingpin back in the 80s and early 90s. But they said when he would go do deals with the Dominicans or other Spanish ppl they assumed he was black. Those ppl would start talking Spanish not knowing that Alpo understood everything they were saying becuz he was fluent. He used that to his advantage to get the edge and relay everything back to his homeboys who were black.
Ayyy trust me that reaction you had about the asian guy with the Jamaican accent was the same way i felt the first time i went to jamaica to visit my great grandma in Banana Ground (my pops was born in Jamaica and grandma didnt move him and my auntie to America til he was 10. We went down to Mandeville (the closest city down the mountain from Banana Ground) to grocery shop and i saw a white family and thought “hmm this is pretty far from the tourist resorts and shit” then they started talking and i was like “oohhh shit there’s white Jamaicans?!?”🤣🤣🤣 that was back during Christmas break my senior year of high school in 2015
I remember being 12/13 years old watching shotas....I'm 32 years old now....and that's the only movie I remember from start to finish 😂...it's mad and I'm not even Jamaican😂
Shottas for sure should be up there when we talk about hood classics. Underrated in my opinion.
Very fucking underrated💯
And belly with DMX
Shottas is an absolute classic. Those who know know.
I use to watch this movie all the time 💕
The reason Shottas won is because it's a hood classic. Whatever the critics trash the audience will embrace.
Ong
I just realized this is Jamaican Scarface
@@Scarfacego242009
Nah more like the Jamaican state property if u seen state prop
@@lito2351hell no definitely jamaican scarface
Didn't think you'd get to movies like this but, so glad u did!

Man, wait till you figure out that the dude hanging around Wyclef Jean (the dude that told the corny joke and shot ol boy) is DJ Khaled when he was thin..........

This is definitely a very underated classic 🔥
This Belly,Baby Boy n Scarface was in constant rotation in my house growing up..seeing her reaction is funny af n Jamaica they grow up hella fast n dgaf early
Shottas is a certified hood classic, I traded my first DVD copy for a dub sack of weed😂It was worth it!
I'm so glad you reacted to this!
bumboclaat, rassclaat, bumbohole are slang terms (curse words/ indecent language)
Terms of expression, they are used In all forms.
@@Locks444no. They are curse words specifically
They are curse words however bomboclat is given a wider range of meanings such as to express shock, excitement, and anger.
28:44 This is when DJ Khaled was much younger. 🎤📀
And much slimmer lol
@@lyndonnoel7266 Exactly.
And less larger💀

YES!!! M.J. This is one of my favorite Gangster movies of all time! 💯% 🇧🇲 & when you say Shottas u need to say in like they do in yard 🇯🇲
The original movie was the highest selling bootleg of all time in 1999. The version you're watching is the edited version. Its not the one we had on VHS that we got from the barbershop or reggae spot .
The one with a lot of Jay Z tracks
"Insert Red Stop light here"
31:07 Using the smack sound effect is crazy😂
Lol I can't believe y'all got Her watching Shottas lol Man this brings back memories, seen this classic in middle school.
You do know Jamaican is a Nationality, right? That means just like in America people native to Jamaica speak the language like how you speak English even though you're Latina.
The guy playing Biggs was born in Miami in real life that’s why he has American accent
He's also Bob Marley's son
👎 That’s not true. Ky-Mani Marley (Biggs) was born in Jamaica and then was moved to Miami with his mother when he was 8 years old

Wayne (Sparagga Benz) and Teddy (Louie Rankin) are reggeae icons, u should check them out too.
Extremely underrated. Jamaican film industry will be great one day.
Listen I've never watch someone hear our accent and immediately do it so perfectly.

27:44 This scene is so funny with them clowning on this boy that sounds goofy! 🤣🤣🤣
Fun fact: that’s actually DJ Khaled on the left of Wyclef Jean and the kid. He was just skinny lol
I live in ft Lauderdale very close to Miami Garden, I honestly know these people in this movie I was on set.
The reason it was so good is because it's a true story, for real real !!
Jamaica is not one accent, there are lots of different accents like America. That's why so many of them sound different.
At 28:52 in your video, the white guy is dj Khalid when he was younger and the next raster man by him is whyclef Jean
Big up yuhself...new sub from jamaica
This movie a hood classic
29:13 that's Dj Khalid B4 all the fame...
