The Tropixs (Kingston, Jamaica) – Capleton has issued another warning to young Dancehall entertainers.

Veteran Dancehall artiste Capleton has issued a word of advice to his younger peers in the industry, warning them to refrain from dissing family members during their lyrical battles.

According to the “Slew Dem” deejay, while he supports the competitive nature of Dancehall music, there are just certain moral codes lines that should never be crossed.

“Right now dancehall become di yute dem playground so dem jus a play. But mi no have no problem wid di yute dem becaw if a so dem family haffi eat, dem haffi eat a food,” Capleton said during an interview with Onstage’s Winford Williams.

“But on a next level, wi no want nobaddy come mash up di music eeda; and wi no want nobaddy mek di music look like it a turn di music inna certain kinda place where Dancehall wasn’t for dat,” he added.

The veteran went on to blast the new school of Dancehall reminding them that there are unwritten rules of engagement in the genre with regards to clashes. He claims in the past mothers and other family members were never spoken about in a derogatory manner.

“And even when it come to clash; clash has always been a part of dancehall from dem time deh. Dancehall is a competitive world and at the end of the day, man used to go pon stage and do dem ting; it neva used to get too personal. No man neva seh nuttn bout no man family and seh nuttn bout unda him madda and certain tings,” Capleton said.

Capleton would go on to advise his younger peers to try to keep the music positive, as that is the message that the world wants to hear.

“All I can tell di yutes dem, is dat di positive side of di music will always be relevant and will always be ultimate part of the music. You can sing bout girl, yu can sing bout gun; you can sing bout whateva, as that was a part of dancehall from day one, but the positive side of the music, you have focus on that more,” he said.

“Me is not a clash artiste, but no bwoy can run up inna mi. Mi might no sing certain kinda song, but mi still write dem and have dem just in case if a man run out,” he declared.

The veteran’s message comes just weeks after Dancehall’s most recent feud involving Alkaline and Squash, which saw both artistes exchanging several diss tracks which made reference to family members in a derogatory manner.
