To not understand what Sean Paul is for.

[Boundaries]

Just that, really.

We be burning not concerning what no body gonna say....

I love sean paul, he is brilliant!

Slow baby, when you pon pon
Slow baby, when you pon pon

Tel wuh Yeh heart girl ...

WTF is he on about?

But those lyrics.

I have changed my mind about Sean Paul. I thought he was harmless but pointless.

Now I think he's a twat. Unless someone can explain those lyrics in a way that makes them non offensive..

May I suggest that Seannna Paul mightn't think Mumsnet users are his core demographic? - clearly not as he's posted on the thread

This has got me reminiscing about my teenage years wanders over to youtube

He's there to say bang bang a lot as far as I can tell. It's a niche role but he owns it.

I also like him! Also Pitbull and Flo Rida

So what's that supposed to be about baby? Gall free up ya vibe and stop actin crazy! Reminisce 'pon all the good times daily, why you tryna prove that I be actin shady?

Did you guys all miss that we have THE ACTUAL Sean Paul on this thread??

still don't know who he is

So please, dem nuh wannabees
Dem hangout wid too much dogs and catch fleas

X post!

Well perhaps the actual SeanPaul could ponpon over here and explain about the bitches and pussies and lactose in THOSE LYRICS 😡

I remember hearing him being interviewed late one night on R1 in about 2002 when I was driving home from work. It was hilarious. The interviewer was very middle class and could clearly make head nor tail of what SP was saying, which was erm.. impenetrable.

Let's meet and you can tell that to my DD. I'll be the referee (or the first aid).
I've liked him for years but DD, almost seven, loves him. Funny enough she wrote off Burnin as ancient music only two years ago. Now it's on her Spotify playlist.

"Dat U Like"

[Chorus:]
So gyal wine pon it
A that yo like
A that yo like
A that yo like don't

Climb pon it
A that yo like
A that yo like
A that yo like

Grind pon it
A that yo like
A that yo like
A that yo like

Keep the time pon it
A that yo like
A that yo like
A that yo like

[Verse 1:]
Send on the supn
Don't hang on the supn
Caw mi well waan the supn come back a mi yard
Gyal it is written that yo got it gimmi the kitten
And yo know mi well fit up and man a no fraud
Tek yo pon a level meck yo feel like a heaven
Gyal don't meck mi feel like a broke record
Score haffi settle, yo hot like a kettle
Yuh a bubble and a bebble gyal yo making it hard

[Chorus]

[Verse 2:]
Rotate the thing gyal position and swing
Up in a the air gyal yo legs dem fi fling
Bare vibes yo bring buss off the jeans string
Tinga, linga, linga, linga, lin and a no bell ring
Gyal a the tension fi miss the evening
Punishment shi get pon it shi waiting
Shi no stop tell mi bout these things shi cravin
Mi give it to her and get mi rating

It's like a gift that keeps on giving....

I've had a crap day but now I'm in absolute stitches. Looks like a Welsh lesson gone wrong (I'm Welsh btw)

You mean the guy who started performing in the late 90's and from 2003 has been winning awards?

He's like the dirty old man at the bus stop who stands there muttering at you while massaging his trousers. Not exactly sex on a stick.

bloody yes, I do.

Daily struggle.

I like him. But prefer the rock a bye song without him.

He vastly improved great so gs from Sia and Ckean Bandit by adding things like:

"With da bambam"
And "boom boom boom"

Makes me smile!

I am not entirely sure how I feel about a bunch of people laughing at someones accent, it feels 'off' somehow to me.

As an aside, my DH interviewed SP years ago, he spoke about himself in the 3rd person even saying 'Sean Paul, would like some milk' which we still say in our house, because we're pretty sad like that. :(

Looks like a Welsh lesson gone wrong

I have understood literally no word of any of the Sean Paul quotes on the thread and I live in the Endz, mandem.

Sean Paul, would like some milk that is fucking epic! He is clearly a genius, misunderstood in his own time.

The man is sex on legs!!! What's not to like???
I may have had a crush on him for many years now.....

He is very successful, can get a party going with his tunes, and has the sexiest Jamaican accent.
I can think of a lot of people who are way down the list of irrelevance - thank you!

Biddly bong.

He's like the Ned Flanders of dancehall.

Hodd - it's not his accent (speaking entirely for myself). It's his absence of ability to observe the existence of anything other than himself (and particularly his contents of pants) in the world.
