Buju Banton: Gay Rights Groups Pleased With Grammy Results

buju if you did it however i am ashamed as a jamaican but i still love you and i believe its best if they send you home to do your prison time so i can kick your ass as well for doing such a thing if it was marijuana i would understand but it aint so whats the deal buju

GAYS U WILL NEVER LEARN I GUESS U WILL ALL HAVE TO PAY TO LEARN SO WHEN GOD ARRIVES LETS HEAR WHAT U WILL TELL HIM ABOUT MAN AND MAN BECAUSE MAN AND MAN DID NOT MADE U ITS WOMAN AND MAN SO IT CAN NEVER BE RIGHT OK

homosexuality is just plain wrong. I do not condone violence against anyone, but I will never accept homosexaulity as normal behavior. It is your choice but in my opinion it is just sick and against the laws of God.

The message that homosexuals are sending to everyone is: accept my lifestyle or you will not get a job, career or anything else for that matter. Join us or we will ruin your life. There is no hate is saying homosexuality is wrong. If it is in my opinion that it is wrong, I will say so.

The more the gays fight buju, the more respect he will get in the straight community. Remember, according to the Bible, God destroyed Sodom for homosexuality and people were killed. In Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries, homosexuals are beheaded, so stop picking on Buju!

They gay community is acting against hims as well, so you fight hate with hate?
He is an artist and should be recognized for that. I’m not agree with his thinking on violence against gay but that was long time ago and he was a kid. Now he is indeed a great artist and they say beauty is in the eyes of the beholder if you don’t like his music go listen to something else, if you listen to reggae you must have heard that “it is a ghetto people songs only them can sing these songs”. Have you ever listen and feel Buju’s music? I guess not and it was easier to pass the award to a Marley sure shot, Stephen knows that Buju deserved to win. But I deeply know that Buju really don’t care for an award so your happiness on Buju not wining is really negligible.
My final words:You are acting very hateful, so should I wish you wrong the same way you wish wrong to Buju?
I believe they set him up Rasta don’t deal with Babylon cocaine, Buju don’t need money it was a setup and why not think the gay community is behind this?
God will come and ask you why the hate against a man who’s art are made for HIM not for you.
Regards.

I think you are making an assumption if you imply that Stephen Marley’s “Mind Control Acoustic” won for Best Reggae Album because of the GLAAD, GMAD, NBJC, etc petition campaign and the 01/29/10 full page Variety ad, and not because “Mind Control Acoustic” isn’t simply a better album than “Rasta Got Soul.”

The full page Variety ad, powerfully written and signed by more than 20 gay rights, civil rights and anti violence organizations, will have succeeded if the Recording Academy never again nominates a performer who has a reputation of promoting hatred and violence against any group of people.

You bible thumpers are retarded, you just unhappy because no one goes to church anymore, gay rights are gaining momentum and the youth dont mind gays. Peter you are probably some old red neck who just learnt about the internet!

Anyway, just as well Buju lost because his hate for the gay and lesbian community is shocking.

Viva Gay Pride!! Viva!!

i guess with his tour being banned by by gay and NOT seeing any money while a snake was sent to brake you with drugs to make up on those cancelled tours it might brake a mans faith.this is a push to the limit while their are snakes behind you tempting and saying YOU won’t see any money buju because gays stopping your tour so take a chance of coke just to pay some bills and give MONEY to your family.do you see how evil the government are,they knew his tours was being banned by gays so with that help they entrapped him.it like the same shyt happen to jesus christ ,but it’s the future,and buju couldn’t go without feeding his family 40 days and 40 nights.it is an ENTRAPPMENT IF YOU LOOK AT IT SLOWLY.

SamK do you listen to reggae? I guess not because I know that there is not single song in Rasta got Soul saying anything against gay people. I have nothing against anybody in this world, but it seems that you just can’t forgive, anyways everyone has their own opinion and I stick to mine. Time will tell.
Alex with your comments you are not helping and it just don’t worth arguing with you. No offense, I don’t want to start those non-sense comments like in other blogs
Espero en Jah que Buju salga libre de esto y si no que le de las fuerzas necesarias para superar esta prueba y vuelva con mas fuerza que nunca.
Jah Bless and Judge Not

Actually, I do listen to reggae and even dancehall music and I like it. But I definitely prefer the kind of music that is “positive,” “uplifting” and “conscious” and that doesn’t promote hatred or mutilating and killing me and other LGBT people.

Buju Banton has been on a more than 20 year crusade of calling for the murder of LGBT people. He apologized for “Boom Bye Bye” in 1992, said that he “doesn’t condone violence” in 1992, then sang “Boom Bye Bye” until 2004. Since 2004, he delivers anti LGBT rants from the stage and he has another anti LGBT routine that he performs.

Buju is clearly as murderously homophobic now as he was in 1992.

Ask Stephen, Kymani, Damian or any other Marley if they like the song “Boom Bye Bye” or if they dance or used to dance to it and they’d be lying if they said no. Buju is one of the Marley’s favourite artists and have collaborated with him on more than one occasion. They support the Banton. And many more support him too. He is a talented artist who is being unfairly targeted. Big up Buju Banton.

these are people that knows notting about reggae/dancehall music, in dancehall music its about who can make up the wickedest song/lyrics about various topics culture lyrics,gun lyrics, gal lyrics,jump up lyrics,daggerin like wise battyman lyrics the artist do this so they can get the biggest forward/bigups in the clubs or when performing nobody take the songs literally I WOULD LIKE THE GAY GROUPS TO SHOW EVIDENCE OF ANY GAY PERSON BEING SUBJECTED TO VIOLENCE/MURDER BECAUSE OF BUJU BANTONS SONG THE ONLY ONE OUT TO DESTROY IN THIS CASE IS THE GAYS THE ARE TRYING TO DESTROY BUJU`S CAREER, HIS LIFE, HIS FREEDOM BECAUSE HE SING A SONG TWENTY YEARS AGO AGAINST THAT LIFESTYLE NO ONE WOULD BE SHOCK IF THEIR BEHIND BUJU`S CURRENT SITUATION. BUJU HOLE UP YOUR HEAD HIGH RASTA, BECAUSE WHO GOD BLESS NO MAN CURSE!

Would all the Jamaicans on here be so quick to defend an American artist who called for death pon J’cans or Rastas? Even if it was 15 years ago and he didn’t want to talk about it anymore? What if he refused to denounce those words, or apologize?

Of course!

Hypocrites! No one can be religious or conscious and call for death to god’s gay-lesbian children.

god had buju arrested to show the hypocrisy of hating gay people!

God had Buju arrested for showing hypocrisy on hating Gay people. WTF how many things are wrong with that sentence??? God destroyed Sodom so he has no tolerance for homosexuality. Don’t get me wrong I don’t promote violence on Gay people although I dont agree with homosexuality I leave it up to God to judge them that’s not my job. Everyone is entitled to their opinon, Boom bye bye was Buju’s opinion if you dont like it turn it off, he didnt order anyone to go kill Gays nor has he killed anyone its him expressing himself. You people need to leave him alone. FREE BUJU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hello thats the biggest bullsh*t i read ask god for forgiveness for making such a stupid statement if this site is not bias then it should block u

i live in a world that i know the most high said be fruitful and multiply which basically means that a woman and a man come together in body and soul and the woman give birth to a new born (boy or girl) it does not say man and man or woman and woman so please homosexual make me understand how can u all fruitful and multiful the earth . So buju wrote his song and sang it and i dance to it because he feel that the world should be perfect but that not the world we live in so y do you all homosexual get offended if you all know that what you all are doing is right. I here still waiting to see a man and man or woman and woman come together and have si and give birth to a baby on GODS earth.

Big up buju and continue writing your music if you were setup in the end you my brother will be victorius and all who fight you down will be punish and that what they have to know. so from me PEACE LOVE AND GUIDANCE

I swear most of you homophobic bible swinging Christians live in a world of fairies and butterflies and 90% of the time ignore everything in reality that doesn't fit with your current view of the world and what God says. Guess what? If you take a holy book and a holy word and turn it into your own tool for fear and hatred and violence you are the ones that will be judged in the afterlife. And trust me when I say the bible is much much clearer on that then it is on whether being gay is wrong or not. Also if you read the story of Sodom and Gamora, and by read I mean actually read it, not listen to retarded hate filled versions of it, you'll see that homosexuality wasn't the crime, it was having sex without feeling, without love and without conscience. It was rape and violence and incest that was the problem.

I swear your drivel, your blindly homophobic bullshit is no better then the 1920s when it was common knowledge that all blacks were going to hell because their skin color was not pure and white. But someday the world will change, and someday you dumb fucks will be apologizing to history for being so fucking stupid and small minded. Just like the white people, who supported separatism and slavery, are doing now.

In the end God is love, and love with always triumph over blind hatred.
