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

Mmm I agree with this, surely it's not ok to laugh at someone because you can't understand their accent?
Of course you don't have to like his music that's fine

It's not his accent.

It's his "lyrics"

And his repeating of his own name.

And,now, his referring to himself in the third person 😂

Although his accent does go some way to disguising his lyrics, so I feel more positive about his accent than anything else.

I think MN might actually be an untapped audience for SP....a lot of us grew up with him and dancehall.

Not long ago I was listening to 50 Cent and had a realisation that a woman in her 30s getting ready for her goddaughter's Christening in the Home Counties probably wasn't who he imagined when he made the track Grin

If only I was back being a rude girl in Manchester again Sad

You're wrong. He's amazing.

Yes to that Sia track. Very catchy indeed.
My year 3/4 class love that song during golden time, and I have may have thrown a few shapes to it myself!

The genre is dance hall, not easy listening. He sings in patois. Don't try and pull apart the lyrical content, just enjoy him the music Grin
