rap people political
I know some very political people who rap, and they say very political things and they'll never get a deal.
feels
I like music when it makes you feel.
people different want
I've been approached by many different people, but I don't really want to be known as a collaboration dude.
thinking artist persons
Music tells you about the artist and what they were thinking about at the time, because the person has to think about it to sing it.
issues hip-hop bling
Dancehall is just like hip-hop in that it doesn't always talk about bling; it talks about conscious issues.
musical different want
I don't want to do something unproductive with my time, so I decided to do something musical. So it felt good to say, 'Yeah, I'm producing.' It gave me a fresh vibe - inspiring in a different way.

world stills sean
The world still hasn't seen the best of Sean Paul.
mean gun talking
On 'Sufferer,' I'm talking about the younger generation that has no other option for success than to find a gun somewhere. I try to appeal to them: 'I know you a sufferer, but it doesn't mean that you can't or shouldn't expect any better.' It's a lot different than from what I usually say, like, 'Get busy, shake that thing.
believe pride balance
I have carried my Jamaican Flag with pride around the world to share my culture and experience with others because I seek Balance which is what I believe life is all about.
party artist people
Dancehall music is perceived as party music, which it is because of the rhythm, but there are messages that do come through or a purpose of an artist saying something to the world. People usually don't get the messages because of the partying.
careers skills style
I'm still working on my career, still trying to learn from other artistes and develop my skills and my style.
real responsibility youth
I do feel I have a responsibility to the youths. For real.
