"Kill Gays" Singer to Begin US Tour
'Kill Gays' Singer To Begin US Tour - Yesterday at 7:16 PM by Beth Shapiro
New York City - A Jamaican pop singer who advocates "executing" gays will begin a US concert tour next month. Beenie Man, whose real name is Anthony Davis, will appear in 33 cities from August 1 to November 8, including New York City, Chicago,Miami, Philadelphia, Cincinnati and Atlanta. Beenie Man's hit tune, Bad Man Chi Chi Man (Bad Man, Queer Man), instructs listeners to kill gays: "If yuh nuh chi chi (queer) man wave yuh right hand and (NO!!!)/If yuh nuh lesbian wave yuh right hand and (NO!!!)Some bwoy will go a jail fi kill man tun bad man chi chi man!!!./Tell mi, sumfest it should a be a showdown/Yuh seem to run off a stage like a clown (Kill Dem DJ!!!)". In Jamaican patois slang, "batty man" and "chi chi man" are the equivalent of "poof" and "faggot." Beenie Man has dueted with Janet Jackson and Missy Elliott and is trying to break into the lucrative US pop market. In a recent interview he defended the homophobic content in his music saying it reflects Jamaican culture. "The music reflects how Jamaican people see it," he said. "I think there are things that are a part of Caribbean culture just like any other culture in the world. Everybody has their way of life. People have beliefs and that comes from who they are. The music come from that."Last month, Jamaica's most notable gay civil rights leader was brutally murdered in his home. (story) A Beenie Man concert scheduled for London several weeks later was cancelled following a protest by British gay rights group Outrage. (story) When the singer arrived at the airport he was questioned by British police but allowed to enter the country. Friday, Outrage called on American gay rights groups to put pressure on the venues which had booked Beenie Man to perform. "No one would give a platform to a singer who advocated killing black or Jewish people," said Outrage spokesperson Peter Tatchell in a statement. "A performer who brazenly glorifies and encourages the murder of lesbians and gay men should not be rewarded with concerts and financial success." "Securing the cancellation of Beenie Man's concert is very important. By hitting him in the pocket, it will help pressure Beenie Man and other anti-gay Jamaican singers to abandon their murderous incitements," Tatchell said.

Jeez, what moron would even allow that kind of garbage to circulate, anyway?? And where does he get off thinking that "a person's beliefs" can justify murder? That's so much BS. And what's worse, is there are haters who would probably go to crap like that. What kind of message is justifiable murder just because your beliefs say it's okay to kill those you hate. Murder is murder. I can't believe people would follow that crap and that jerk-off will bank on hatred.
...no wonder some people are so screwed up in the head. You can bet I'll be at that protest if it comes to my state. |

I actually used to come to this forum because it was for t.A.T.u. fans. Now it's a cesspool of mostly smartasses and failure. Quite sad, really. |

For some reason, it's really entertaining to think that this guy could get this far. Oh, you have to love people's ignorance.

I don't mean to resort to stereotypes when I say this but you would think that an artist coming from a country known for its laid-back demeanour would not be so riled up about this. Or, at least not to this extent. But then one must must wonder where the phrase "Kill Whitey!!!" came from. What's next, "Kill Poonanie!!!"? |

I remember there was an incident on 'The Word' involving this very issue. The only problem is that I can't actually remember if it was Beenie Man who was involved.
'The Word', for those of you who don't know, was an entertainment show which used to be shown late Friday nights on Channel 4 in the early 1990's. It had somewhat of a cult following and ran for several years before it was cancelled. Anyway, I remember an instance where a rap artist was being interviewed on the show and he expressed some outragously homophobic slurs. As a result he almost got into a fist-fight with presenter Mark Lamaar who told him (quite rightly) that his views were "a load of shit". Mark Lamaar went up considerably in my estimation when I saw that. Normally TV presenters just kiss their guests arses. They way he stood up to this guy was truly admirable. The only problem is that I can't remember if the rapper in question was Beenie Man or Shabba Ranks (remember him?!). This has been bothering me for a while. If anyone who saw that episode could set me straight (boom-tsh! ) I'd appreciate it. Oh, btw, I read a short interview with Beenie Man in Q magazine earlier this year in which he professed to having absolutely no problem with gay men because it meant that there were more women for him. Take that to mean whatever you want. Personally, based on the evidence, I think he was lying. |

Apache Indian sang a song called 'AIDS Warning' which - as you may have guessed from the title - was about the prevention of HIV and AIDS. I'll try'n look up the lyrics if you want. It's been a long time since I listened to the track. I don't remember him making any reference to the gay community, degrogatory or otherwise, but it makes a change from most rappers insisting that AIDS is God's punishment to gay people!

Ok, I found the lyrics. Keep in mind this guy is Jamaican (or at least claims to be) so sometimes he is kind of hard to decipher. You'll probably need a translator to figure most of this out!
'AIDS Warning' - by Apache Indian Say you listen when me talk original Arawak Say the AIDS it a gwarn and we have fe stop that Hear them talk bout the coke Hear them talk bout the crack Talk bout heroin cha! we no wan that When me chat fe the Indian, white and the black But you listen when me come and start fe attack All the idiot them that love fe be slack Say them have fe wipe out mon off this ya map Ca the AIDS it gwarn and me wan none of that And when me chat this ya one say me chat non stop This is a warning fe each and everyone You have fe no bout the AIDS upon the island This is a warning fe all the youth them Listen raggamuffin Indian a tell them Me say me talk and a talk and you hear when me gwarn When you hear fe me voice mon through the Steel horn Me have fe take out a minute and a couple second Fe tell all the mon and tell all woman Next time you hold a partner feel the vibes strong Make sure two of uno take the precaution When you reach fe your pocket take out your condom And from you use that nothing can go wrong But if you never bring it listen when me talking Forget about the Doogoo, Doogoo, Doogoo sin-thing This is a warning fe each and everyone You have fe no bout the AIDS upon the island This is a warning fe all the youth them Listen raggamuffin Indian a tell them Bout you have 2 woman, a nothin that Bout you have 3 woman, a nothin that Bout you think you are don, a nothin that You have no condom, a nothin that And the gal them a gwarn, a nothin that Bout them have a next mon, a nothin that And a loba loba, a nothin that That him last longer, a nothin that You fe one partner and a keep healthy No bother go round go round with a next somebody And take a needle push it in your body You fe hear what a gwarn mon listen keenly Then there will be no fight and will be no fuss How the kids got born with the virus This is a warning fe each and everyone You have fe no bout the AIDS upon the island This is a warning fe all the youth them Listen raggamuffin Indian a tell them Next time you find a gal say soorni logthi And your mind tell you mon fe check the curi Before you would a worry bout she mum and daddy Mon and she big brother mon wide him hockey But now you have fe start think about a next problem If she have the virus, here when me tell them So you have fe careful and a watch what a gwarn Ca the AIDS could a come and a lik anyone No mention of gay people but that's better than him being abusive towards us (which he easily could have been, given the subject matter). |
