To the comment of NotU you need to do a little bit more reading to understand that it is not about movies and music… its about where you are from and the choices you choose and along with the history of how society was build why people do what they do….Some people was just born in that lifestyle and in order to survive it comes with what is going on in JA…nough respect to all Jamaicans who choose a different life other than killing people and selling drugs….please don’t get it twisted that is not all we do….even though we got real gangster we ain’t the one to sit up and brag about it….

The story is so deep that everything feeds into the destruction. Politics, history….everything. There are some who just want the life portrayed in movies like Scarface and some who just grew up admiring the Don before him. There are not many options available. Jamaica is primarily known for tourism based income where money is made from hotel visit to Sunplash events where you can make money doing hair, selling clothes, or even peanuts. Unlike the US and Canada where there are many outlets to make income from call centers to movie extra. The health system is horrible and many drop out of school because there is little to aspire to be. Truth is that if you don’t have family ah foreign and your born in Jamaica it’s hard as hell fi get out. You have to either pray your parents have money to send you to school and try to get a student visa. The Us and Canada aren’t quick to accept Jamaicans into the country even if you don’t have a criminal record.
With that said your broke, bored, young dumb and full of cum. You want the good life and you want your people to have that too. However there is always going to be some motherfu*ker you don’t get along with and if your the man that dude is either another Don or close with the Don. Someone crosses a line shot lick out someone dies and the wheel keeps rolling. The government doesn’t care as long as your keep it in your area and of course you both work together cause they allow you to get your guns in for money. It’s the circle of life shit Bush is doing it. People just need to unite and fix shit but were all crabs in a bucket.

I watched this documentary when it was first released cause i live in london and it really hit me hard. I was shocked at the amount of viloence that takes place in Kingston. I mean, 1 killing every six hours. Its sad because when people think of jamaica, they think of the lovely beaches and stuff but that aint what it is all about. Innocent lives being taken daily just because of gang wars. But to these gangstas this is the only life they know and most of them dont live up to the age of 25. It hurts just to think about it. Black people need to unite and stop all this violence cuz it only leads to death and that aint the way to go.

This situation is the paradym for how most gangs are formed. Just like they say…if you wanna find the root a problem, follow the rich white man.
Imperialistic whites take over the country, then when they leave blacks split into 2 groups…supporters of the old regime and supporters of the new administration. They begin to fight over territory, then due to the impoverished conditions placed on them by the white regime they resort to the drug trade. The drug trade turns into a fight over market share (sales) which causes war within their own gangs.
This is the same thing that’s happened to Africa, to North and South Korea, etc…

Bajan King trust me I know. Nowhere wants Jamaicans as immigrants theses days. Everyone believes were all corrupt. Everywhere has corrupt people however they are given some shred of opportunity. There is bound to be an uprising or a taking up of arms when theres no hope. A Country doesn’t become this way over night and when the masses get tired of asking for help and go unanswered you best believe they will find other means. Think about it the British had the island then pulled out leaving the country to form its own democracy however with little government direction. Of course those who were better off monetary wise were called in to form political parties however their intentions were fueled by money not for the good of all people. Which leads to the outcry of injustice, lack of jobs and education, people warring with one another…… Sounds like the US and Iraq also doesn’t it?
Jamaica has turned into all the worst ghettos in the US combined on one island. Plus if you mess up anywhere else or your visa has expired you better believe you will be deported in a heart beat.

Just like all countires Jamaica has it’s rich side and poor side. Unfortuntely, Kingston happens to be embedded in violence. So when I see there generic wannabe hardcore so called thugs who run around talking about their hood. I laugh loud and hard. If these punks think they are so BAD then go Kingston JA and we will see how hard core you are. From the minute you step off the plane they can tell that you are from Foreign(meaning people not from JA) you will know. However, I still love JAMAICA and am PROUD to be the child of a JAMAICAN. Despite the violence Jamaica is still the worlds most favourite tourist island. It is too bad that this is their way of life however this is not by there choice. There dollar is worth nothin, they can’t get good jobs so they are left tdo whatever it takes to survive which leads to doing unjust things.

It’s not the same and they need far greater help than the rest of us (islands)i hate the fact that these assholes think they big and bad AND THUS SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO DO WHAT EVER THEY WANT.i say put them all on shaka island and leave them there let them kill each other in all that gang shit. #39 I thought barbados was far better off than most of the other islands.

Props Real Talk this is a serious issue as you have heard Ross Kemp does alot of documentries on gangs and it is shown in the UK every week. This by far is the worst, the mentality is that there is not an option they have no choice but to join gangs cus there are no jobs there is no future for them and they don’t even expect to live long it is crazy.
The worst thing tho in my opinion is that the gangs are getting younger and younger people are joining gangs at a young age and there gang mentality grows stronger as they get older and it is hard to just change even tho they may really want to.

Scariest one is the russion one coz the gang he covers have alot of people that high up in parliment and are close to over throwin it. There racist too they have to kill everyone that aren’t white they wait on trains then murder every none white on it. Dont use guns though either stab or beat em 2 death. Alot of people dont realise what they have. World is goin to shit n WE are the ones that have to do summit about it

Look at all the jamaicans poppin up bein all proad and shit, nuttin bein proad of throwin ur lives away, u all need to wake up.
Its a shame coz it can happen anywhere, all it takes is a few thick twats shippin guns unto a certain area and that changes everything.
What people dont realise is gangs started off with people bein men fightin to show whos ‘harder’ but then some pussys that couldn’t fight got guns coz the kept gettin there arses wooped which means everyone else then needed to even it up n then b4 u know it everones in the shit and have to join these tooled up gangs for protection.
Im from STockport England which kind of has a reputation ov bein rough but the good thing is its full ov men that believe in fighting with fists
NOBODY should take this show seriously. true bad bwoy don’t admit their crimes on tv.
plus i have a friend who told me that when they did the one in London, the crew asked the boys to act up for the camera to make like they were harder and even gave them free stuff to make them play up more. of course the boys did it because they wanted to look hard for tv.

BADMAN TING rhaaaaaa. Dont know what americans be talking bout when they say gangsta but down man way man a BadMan. Yard MAn a Bad MAn
Live or die, that’s the mantality here, I live in kingston. you have to be strapped up from your toes to your head to live here. it’s a mother fucking jungle out here. a lot of my friends got shot and many got killed. ny, LA and them other cities ain’t got shit on us.

@ 28, Doc
Proud? Hell no. Shit is scary as hell. I wish none of it existed. Just saying living in Trinidad is bad too, though Jamaica gets a lot of recognition. Don’t think we half as bad as MsPink said, but we still bad. And no it’s nothing to be proud of. Just saying, overall the Caribbean bad. I wonder how Haiti stacks up, really, to Jamaica.
Just like all countires Jamaica has it’s rich side and poor side. Unfortuntely, Kingston happens to be embedded in violence. So when I see there generic wannabe hardcore so called thugs who run around talking about their hood. I laugh loud and hard. If these punks think they are so BAD then go Kingston JA and we will see how hard core you are. From the minute you step off the plane they can tell that you are from Foreign(meaning people not from JA) you will know. However, I still love JAMAICA and am PROUD to be the child of a JAMAICAN. Despite the violence Jamaica is still the worlds most favourite tourist island. It is too bad that this is their way of life however this is not by there choice. There dollar is worth nothin, they can’t get good jobs so they are left tdo whatever it takes to survive which leads to doing unjust things.
Its crazy how all thses shit started when the British pulled left.
*out
My fam is from Barbados and they even got gangs down there and Barbados supposed to be one of the safest and nicest islands. But yeah JA aint no joke.
ANYWAY….GANGSTA FOR LIFE
Anyyywayyy…Gangsta For Life
I hate this. What happen to the simple life, damn. #29 and 30 Jamaica gets “recognition” because the situation is far worse. You know you don’t walk around POS in fear like that. It’s not the same and they need far greater help than the rest of us (islands)i hate the fact that these assholes think they big and bad AND THUS SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO DO WHAT EVER THEY WANT.i say put them all on shaka island and leave them there let them kill each other in all that gang shit. #39 I thought barbados was far better off than most of the other islands.
Props Real Talk this is a serious issue as you have heard Ross Kemp does alot of documentries on gangs and it is shown in the UK every week. This by far is the worst, the mentality is that there is not an option they have no choice but to join gangs cus there are no jobs there is no future for them and they don’t even expect to live long it is crazy.
The worst thing tho in my opinion is that the gangs are getting younger and younger people are joining gangs at a young age and there gang mentality grows stronger as they get older and it is hard to just change even tho they may really want to.
this is really sad. Can’t believe thas the life ppl are living. imagine being a kid adapting to living around ppl getting slautered everyday..
damn.
yankee doh kno bout dem ting dere. dem man tink crip & blood gyangsta. dey rite, but dem frah likkle fellaz cyah come nowhere in di caribbean & play part like dey gyangtaz dread & dat is real talk
Damn i betta watch out for Sean Kingston then lmao
kingston is no joke mane.
#42 correction. Jamaica gets recognition becasue we by far DOMINATE when it comes to people migrating to other countries such as the US and into Canada etc and have more tourist attraction coming to the island. Jamaicans do not think they are badder then anyone…you have it confused with confidence which is something you certainly LACK!!!
i’ve been up on Ross Kemp since 2001….he’s done this documenteries on St.Louis, Rio De Jenerio, Russia, MS13, and Neo-Nazi’s.
@39 Barbados is very well off, but im just saying even there has some violence. People are doing wicked things everywhere. Barbados is no way near JA or any of the other islands in terms of gangs and stuff though. Its a good place to live and has a strong economy. Barbados is very popular tourist attraction and thats where most of the money and fame comes from.
correction @42 ,lol
Yo realtalk it’s about time….I love all ROSS KEMPS shit. It is fire……Keep up the good work keeping us informed
Just in case it wasn’t mentioned… why are the police put on a pedastal in this peice, when they are part of the gov’t that is tied to numerous gangs, as stated in this peice?
Dude’s down there get it in though!!!
And yeah the u.s. will support the killing of colored worldwide…lol! “GIVE’M ALL GUNS AND GET OUT THE WAY!”
Doesn’t anyone realise that all this negative publicity is now going to eat into Jamaicas tourism. And we know tourism is a major source of income for the island.Just think how many jobs will be lost,if it all dries up, no one wants to visit the island for fear of their lives and more local people then turn to crime as a result, it’s a systematic plan to cripple the people further.It’s deep!!! Black people wake up…This Badman ting ain’t nothing to be proud of bredren and i know….Strong.
yo son where you from, jamaica. oh yeah which part KINGSTON!
EVERYBODY say they from kingston. no matter where i go. how can all these mother flowers be from kingston and jamaica aint even that big. WHOA! jafaicans LMAO!
but they did a doc on the gangs and cuppt cops in JA already like 5 years ago.
@ Bajanchick I never meant to say that Jamaicans think they are badder than everyone else. I was simply referring/ venting about the ppl in my own country
If they keep goin like that aint gonna be no one left
Ross kemp on gangs has bin out 4 ages over here in England. He bin everywhere, done one in LA wit bloods n crips n one in new orleans btu they getted shitted on compared to the others, kingstons knowhere near the worste though.
Scariest one is the russion one coz the gang he covers have alot of people that high up in parliment and are close to over throwin it. There racist too they have to kill everyone that aren’t white they wait on trains then murder every none white on it. Dont use guns though either stab or beat em 2 death. Alot of people dont realise what they have. World is goin to shit n WE are the ones that have to do summit about it
Look at all the jamaicans poppin up bein all proad and shit, nuttin bein proad of throwin ur lives away, u all need to wake up.
Its a shame coz it can happen anywhere, all it takes is a few thick twats shippin guns unto a certain area and that changes everything.
What people dont realise is gangs started off with people bein men fightin to show whos ‘harder’ but then some pussys that couldn’t fight got guns coz the kept gettin there arses wooped which means everyone else then needed to even it up n then b4 u know it everones in the shit and have to join these tooled up gangs for protection.
Im from STockport England which kind of has a reputation ov bein rough but the good thing is its full ov men that believe in fighting with fists
NOBODY should take this show seriously. true bad bwoy don’t admit their crimes on tv.
plus i have a friend who told me that when they did the one in London, the crew asked the boys to act up for the camera to make like they were harder and even gave them free stuff to make them play up more. of course the boys did it because they wanted to look hard for tv.
uk is where all da kingston badman come see how alot of americans are african american most black people in england are from west indies mainly ja and st vincent we got pure yardies over here trust me gangs are every were we got loads in uk
i’m eric. joining a couple boards and looking
forward to participating. hehe unless i get
too distracted!

Hello
What do you think about this? When it happens?
Ye Man, I live in philly and a child of Jamaican parents. And I can see the violence in Kingston,JA. Alot of violence is because of bad situations, circumstances, and lack of economic institutions and structure. This needs to change for the youth to see a different tomorrow.
way when we see jamaica on the tv is always the bad shit going down ie killings/shooting/robbery. lets see the good on tv jamaica as nuff of that to /ie nice places sun/sand/beach/music. food/ and most of all the people we seem to forget their is good/bad all over the world so come on show some love xxx one love
to No 6
load of bull. i dont agree with the movies and what is showing or going on in the USA have a lot to do with peoples actions. crap. you either that way incline or not. no one or nothing can make you be what you dont want to be.
