Everyone listen when the queen speaks.
Lady Saw is not a fan of Snoop Lion and she is making her stance clear.
The reigning queen of the dancehall was speaking after her well received performance on Behind The Screens at Usain Bolt’s Tracks and Records recently.

According to Saw, she likes Snoop as a rapper but disapprove of his venture into reggae.
“They need to block Snoop,” Lady Saw said. “Snoop, mi like yuh as a rapper, but low dancehall ting, low reggae ting…, mi no like yuh as no Snoop Lion. Weh yuh get lion from? Not your business, leave it alone.”
Snoop Lion released his reggae debut album Reincarnated in April to critical acclaim. The album debut at No. 1 on the Billboard reggae chart.
The West Coast rap legend also released a documentary chronicling his spiritual transformation to Rastafarian.
finally I knew this would be a disaster!! Not your thing snoop quit capitalizing , it’s not your culture , the culture is not about just smoking weed your such a tard and what you did to the artibella riddim is just wrong!! So you are bob marley incarnated yet you had major lazer produce your album , so not legit!!
If these people would just stop extorting money from Snoop, then what problems would exist? None of these people own the religion yet they want a piece of the action. Bunny Wailer acted like he owned it and was going to grease the way for Snoop. Snoop said no and all this nonsense breaks loose. REMEMBER LADY SAW, BIG YOUTH ONCE SAID “DANCE HALL WAS LIKE GOING BACK INTO SLAVERY.” Seems like you are frightened over Snoop’s act?
Lady Saw ah eeediat ahn nuff oonu Jamaicans insecure. Farriners love oonu music ahn oonu ah fight dem still. Wah kinda foolishniss dat.
It sounds like some hating to me…I love her and all, and she is entitled to her own opinion but it sounds like some unwarranted resistance….
THEY DOn’t WANT A REGGAE JAMAICA TO CONTROL THE MUSIC BUSINESS. BABYLON NOT EASY. JAMES MAXWELL PLEASE THINK.
IF SNOOP DID NOT RELEASE THIS ALBUM A JAMAICAN YOUNG ARTIST IN REGGAE WOULD GET NUMBER ONE. WE ARE ALL GOD CREATION.
I AGREED WITH LADY SAW, HIP HOP MUSIC IS DOWN IN THE USA, HIP HOP NOT WORKING, SO SNOOP KNOW REGGAE IS GREAT MUSIC ON REGGAE ON TOP, WHITE MEN SINGING REGGAE SO SNOOP DISTRACTING THE PEOPLE FROM TALENT YOUNG REGGAE ARTIST IN JAMAICA TO BE ON TOP OF THE CHART IN THE MUSIC BUSINESS, TO KEEP TALENT REGGAE DOWN. IF THEY DOn’t DO THAT YOUNG REGGAE ARTIST WILL TAKE OVER THE MUSIC BUSINESS, SO ON THE BILLION BROAD IS STILL SNOOP IN CONTROL. TO SNOOP IN THE USA TO BRING BACK HIP. GREAT MAN SNOOP, ALL GAMES TO MAKE MONEY, COUPLE DAY SNOOP LION WILL RELEASE NEW SONG.
I don’t think she is bad minding Snoop because I liked him better as a rap artiste also.I think what she meant 2 say is dat he could of still sing rap music but a positive form of rap such as what Nas is doing with Damian Marley.He should of just changed his lyrics but not his style.It’s like Lt Stitchie and Papa San…they both went gospel but did not change to reggae.They still sing dancehall but changed the lyrics to conscious.
If any one can change why not snoop?
Lady Saw it start to look like Spice and Macka Diamond a tell the truth. Yo badmind
why white man can be reggae artist but American black can’t? Colie budz and Snow were well recieved. He found Jah is that not a good thing? and wants to project that music why is that bad? What would Bob Marely say? if Rita say No then I believe.
