Is there anything wrong with pointing it out? All i talk about is how much i love this music and how beautiful it is. We’re all aware of the struggles. In addition, i have spent so much more money (and time!) on ragga jungle than i have ever gotten back. It’s always been a labor of love and dedication. Same for most people here on this site. Also, jamaican artists have been getting robbed by jamaican producers for decades, not by a “white caucasian middle class german” (way to be inclusive too, my friend). Trust me, no one in ragga-jungle is making a dime or living well by any means off the music. If anything, it has made reggae lovers out of us all, and many other people too who discover them through ragga jungle, and who support jamaican artists through buying their records and going to their shows. Last but not least, jamaican producers have been freely sampling from american (and worldwide) music for decades as well and trust, nothing paid back there. It’s a cycle and this all goes much, much deeper than your superficial sarcastic comment.
I love how it takes a white caucasian middle class german to point out the struggles, poverty, slavery of west indians/afro pan-americans and how these (white folks) are the spokepersons of african music worldwide (and the ones who are profiting the most) while a lot of these artitst these people are sampling from are dead or broke
Nice one !
