Music has an influence on people. The issue comes from measuring the DEGREE of influence that it has and to what extent it can be blamed for violent crime in Jamaica or anywhere else. I mean, if you're really interested, you can read a sociology study from any part of the world and see what factors contribute to violent crime. I guarantee that violent lyrics in music are at the BOTTOM of the list. Yet, for some reason, it dominates the discussions on crime in Jamaica.
You can't pre a study from Norway and apply it to Jamaica. It can be relatable in some ways but won't give the real picture of the situation. U can pre studies from other countries and the things on the top of the list may be on the bottom of the list for a study on Jamaica

Mr. Crawford keeps using analogies, referring to research this and research that, those researchers don't know everything, neither do we know everything. BUT we have a better vantage point because we live in this country and we see all that's happening directly everyday, therefore common sense alone can tell us that music DOES have an INFLUENCE on all that's happening. We don't need research to tell us anything.

@@rackeemgordon6272 good point. However that’s the minority when compared to the majority whom in music videos tend to only have guns waving cash throwing a lot of male colleagues and women dancing and nothing else that’s the main point of the majority videos. So while we can’t rule out music videos being so influential we can’t rule out that only a minority of artists has the monitory funding for a graphically well written script to present to the actors to demonstrate what they are saying in songs. But great point I guess at the end of the day we have positives and negatives on both sides however in my eyes the majority does outweigh the minority.
You are absolutely correct Damion. If you want to fight crime, you ought to identify the motive behind each crime that was committed. Never in the history of Jamaica has there been a case where criminal admitted that his/her actions were as a result of the songs they listened to. Let’s take dance hall music away, there’ll still be crimes committed. What we need as a country is problem solving skills. Start within our school system.
Mr. Crawford, consider violent lyrics as an enforcer of negative and anti social behaviour and not necessarily the underlying cause. It helps to forment and solidify such negative behaviours.
Great point from both hosts but Mr Crawford point is also valid...Now the artists can take the responsibility and stop the violent music and be more creative and put a different energy in our society and I think that will work for all of us..
The thing is why are we allowing an art form to shape our way of life. Music should be entertainment like any other creative art form. Jamaica's criminal issue stemming way before vulgar dancehall. In the 70s and early 80s Jamaica lost it's way with criminality. Generations of badman culture and don culture. Political tribalism etc.
Yow ,Mek mi tell unu summiting..Missa Crawford had Ari and Naro on the a1 game..Missa Crawford is and always be a teacher...Naro almost fall affa de edge 💯😂
Sure, but on the scale of things that influence crime, music is at the bottom of the list. If violent dancehall stopped being produced tomorrow, I doubt it would even drop violent crime in Jamaica by 1%.
@@wanderingwanderer1016 There are things that count and contribute to a culture and a cultural mindset. Violent music contributes and fuels a culture of violence in Jamaica. If you think on this one idea I have shared here long enough, you will see the connection. Music is more powerful than you think. This is the power of word and your consciousness.
I would say music motivates not influence. For example when you go exercise you listen to a certain kind of music. When you listen to that same music when you’re not exercising it don’t make you go exercise. So it has to be in your mind already and then you seek music to motivate that thought.
I can't take anyone serious if they try to argue that music has no influence on people. Its almost the same as arguing that the drinking of water has no influence in quenching ones therst. Music is repetition on frequencies with voice over that repeats instructions or a story to a person If you listen a music long enough that instructs you to behave a certain way while glorifying said actions then it will have some degree of influence on individuals because people typically act from instructions. Our brains are like computer. Clearly these people have no clue on the power of the subconscious People most things a person do os in the subconscious Music targets the sub conscious.
No, Damion. Fast twitch muscles make you faster, but only a few become olympic athletes. Violence is an extreme. Olympic excellence is an extreme. So there are other variables which lead to both outcomes. Dancehall is one variable in the multi-variable equation, even though the coefficient is small. It is very unfair and convenient to blame dancehall, so you are definitely right there.
Dancehall music dnt influence violence,ppl dont just get up and guh shoot ppl,people and people ave their personal dispute, mass shooting is the only shooting weh ppl just guh shoot people that they don't know,people get kill because them family mix up,people just a look somebody fi blame,stop blame di music
Pree. Art tends to be an expression of ones experiences. Dancehall artists are expressing what they see in society. A sub-culture in Jamaica glorifies violence and glorifies defiance to the powers at be. It may be that the people in this sub-culture have a distrust and disregard for people in power because they have been oppressed for decades. Remember, Jamaica is not poor, it has inequality where the less fortunate are oppressed by the more fortunate. Hence, artists are expressing the distaste that the sub-culture of defiance has for the rule of law. They are, or at least was expressing rebellion in the past (3 decades ago). Now, that defiance has morphed into admiration of violence and glorification of aggression - and the music follows.
I agree with Mr.Crawford,a long time me a watch him grow...but anyway, I personally think that crime esp. Killing is stemming from what we would call a badman culture...it has now embedded in our society...dancehall music has nothing to do with crime...too much guns and no job that's what causing the killing...easy access to guns and idlers who dont have nothing to do...no 9_5 so what do you expect...we dont need guns we need jobs...we a very educated but guess what we dont have no jobs...how can we utilize our skills when there is no jobs...we need jobs...
U can’t say 1 man is responsible for a murder . Each murder can’t easily be tied to 5-10 ppl. Since u like mention variables “1 the man who sell the gun + shots,1 the driver for the car,2 shooters,1 man make the phone call. So that’s 5 variables for just 1 murder…
I would like to congratulate your team on your talk with Damion Crawford,he seems to have this habit of using obscure examples to confuse and evaid the actual point, his arguments reminds me of a conspiracy theory' s argument. Was he actually saying the PM should not criticised dance hall because it's the last avenue for the poor? and was he binging up Popcann for singing you should not kill women, it seems in Jamaican people have become so num to violence that even the politicians think that killing men is ok?
When artist give back to them community police seh dem turn Don in the community & start pressure dem. I have to wonder which country Ari & Naro live cya Jamaica to BBC.
Cause of Crime is people who choose to do crime. Music influence people to glorify criminals and in turn make criminal activity attractive to more people
No one with a sound mind is saying that DANCEHALL is the cause of all violence crimes, however there is a certain fraction of youths in our culture that is sustainable to influence. Are all youths hypnotized by the glorification of murderer music, HELL NO, however, in numerous cases there are youth with little to no guidance or discipline living a toxic environment and poor parenting, now a percentage of these youths are influenced more than anyone in our culture... I witness this myself living in a community like August Town...
They want to scapegoat dancehall by itself but what of the movies from Hollywood??? What about the video games like Grand theft auto and those games???? What about the politicians being discreetly involved in crime? What about guns entering our island undetected??? If the guns weren't coming they wouldn't have access to use them for whatever reason. Music is influential but as Damion says there is much more to it than just dancehall itself

Graphic Violent content has & will always exist but the artiste can't duck their blame in a sense coz man I'm 30 & the last 3yrs I've never seen so many music videos with guns props or otherwise before & so many scenes of murder anybody who thinks that isn't negatively influential is neive or worse just delusional
"Outta mi matic let dem have it,pop off mi 3 star rachick let dem have it..."Merciless 95/96 "Limb by Limb wi ago cut dem dung, send fi d hacksaw tek out dem tongue..." Cutty Ranks 93/94. These songs or almost 30 years old how many people died since then and did the crime rate increased after?😑🤨😊
The crime rate did increase from the 80 to 90 to 2020 in correlation to the increase in gun songs. Murder was below 800 in 80s 90 went to 1000 2000s went to 1500 . Go check with correlation with the increase in of gun songs
Violent music makes criminals feel good about their behaviors. If violent music doesn't negatively influence people why do the artists only give shot outs to violent communities and area dons?

Someone told me once Ari nuh have any sense this interview proves them right the man a speak things on social justice and rights of the ppl and Ari like an idiot a tell the man is foolishness him a talk smh that’s why me rate Javi if she nuh have anything to say she nah talk she a listen other ppl perspectives and if something nuh sound right to her she ask a question which make sense that idiot a shout out her throat
Graphic Violent content has & will always exist but the artiste can't duck their blame in a sense coz man I'm 30 & the last 3yrs I've never seen so many music videos with guns props or otherwise before & so many scenes of murder anybody who thinks that isn't negatively influential is neive or worse just delusional
Damian would make more sense if he wasn’t trying to be on their good side.and trying to score political points.
Crawford a pull up stats out a him head. Conman like the rest the politicians.
U do know that he's a lecturer and researcher right?
@@jodianthompson6632 Politics is his main work.
"Outta mi matic let dem have it,pop off mi 3 star rachick let dem have it..."Merciless 95/96 "Limb by Limb wi ago cut dem dung, send fi d hacksaw tek out dem tongue..." Cutty Ranks 93/94. These songs or almost 30 years old how many people died since then and did the crime rate increased after?😑🤨😊
A DE KRUFF R CRUFF DEM A KILL OFF DE JAMAICAN PEOPLE DEM
The crime rate did increase from the 80 to 90 to 2020 in correlation to the increase in gun songs. Murder was below 800 in 80s 90 went to 1000 2000s went to 1500 . Go check with correlation with the increase in of gun songs
Violent music makes criminals feel good about their behaviors.
If violent music doesn't negatively influence people why do the artists only give shot outs to violent communities and area dons?
Because that's where they come. The people who they know comes from.
@@uhuru27 Are you serious? Entertainers only know know people in the ghetto even though many or not from their?
Ari Ari Ari Ari Ari Ari Ari Ari o my god … if I have 100 songs saying don’t kill woman and I have ten saying kill woman what is the majority…. Why look at the negative at all time

@@don1gaza646 me know good youth weh violent music influence fi kill. Dem nowadays yourh ya naave no reason fi kill. The glamorization & the respect society give to dons and killers are major influences
@@don1gaza646 ano every youth have a father & some naave no parents and sees the artistes as a father. When artiste come ina di ghetto & hangout with the killers dem they get all the girls,respect etc so youths grow up and see dat & aspire. Not to mention when the artiste start call the actual killers name in their songs.

Then she mentioned hip hop... Smh
Damian you seem to be very logical in your thought process but please include some common sense in the fact that we who are in this country can see what is going on and we dont need so much technical research to dismiss what is right in front of us. Please entertain some common sense
Violence sells
