Trinidadians Angry, Supportive, Mixed on Soca Ban Suggestion

It was a matter of time.. that the Trini neighbours would hear the term "Ban Soca tuh".. and quite rightly so. Some Trinidadians are not pleased with the utterances form the Jamaicans. And as usual the Caribbean neighbours, said to be rivals mostly in sport, will certainly take the debate further.
A report in the Trinidad Express titled 'Call for Soca Ban' .. which speaks to the debate of lewd dancehall music and the recommendations to ban some Soca music as well has sparked a debate in Trinidad about the same issue. Already there are Trinidadins expressing their anger at Jamaicans and their attitude towards Soca Music. While some agree with the ban there are others who are saying that Dancehall Music is worst off lyrically (i.e. more sexually explicit) and should be banned and Soca is not that bad and therefore should be left alone.
Bloggers have taken it bit futher, as expected, their are some saying that Jamaican songs and artistes should be totally banned from Trinidad. Jamaicans didn't like Trinidadians and Soca music anyway and thats why they are routing for a Soca ban, they are fed up at Jamaican 'bussing style' on them... one persons even implied that the ganja weed is to be blamed as well as raising moral issues on whether religion should intervene and the fact that both islands have the worst murder rates ...and all these things.

You can read more here and even leave your opinion as well..

It was just a couple weeks ago when Serani got robbed there was a war of words between Jamaicans and folks from St. Croix... I am now saying here we go again. People from both islands is going to take the issues beyond the topic and venture into other areas as what is indicated in the article. .. huh another 9 day confusion....
Pon top of all of that I here like Kartel and Spice have a new tune.. @ about 5:30 in this clip.. it look like this get ban b4 it ago buss
