Having trouble articulating it actually. I guess I mean that if you are working in an environment where can say anything, then everyone will try and say the most shocking thing, and pretty soon, nothing is shocking - except restraint.
Well, maybe. This is a question that has come up in art of all kinds over the last 100 years. I do firmly believe that the qualities you value in Jamaican lyricism are still intact though. It's not gone all crass and boorish. There's still lots of wit and cheek and charm and self awareness. Not to say there's not also stupid and objectionable things. Course there is.
