Interesting reaction!! Did you listen keenly to what he was saying in his Calypso or you just doh like the man so won’t take the time to listen properly?
In that song Cro Cro is addressing his fellow African brothers & sisters for selling-out their own people and not learning from the example of their Indian brothers and sisters! What wrong with that if he’s speaking the truth?!
I believe T&T is a democracy and he is entitled to say things as he sees it in his calypsoes!

I listened keenly to the song for misinformation and untruths and there is none! If you don't like to hear the uncomfortable truths about T&T society then it obviously you won’t enjoy listening Cro Cro!
If you want to hear something more comfortable then Chalkdust is your man.

Calypso & good calypsonians have always reflected the truths and general views of the people in our society!

The truth may hurt but it is still the truth, whether we choose to sweep it under the carpet or listen to fellas like Cro Cro reveal it to us thru their songs!!

If you want to hang or condemn Cro Cro, then point out where in his calypso is Cro Cro not speaking the truth!
As much as we may not like Cro Cro the individual and rum-drinker, when it comes to calypso and reflecting the truth about T&T society thru the calypso artform the man is ah boss!

Btw Lefty, if as you claim Cro Cro is ah racist then why would he sing a song like this?

This one he sung way back in 1996 and he's has done many other songs on a similar topic before that and since!

Let the donkey bray. I don't agree with all what he has to say. i agree with the premise that Afro TT needs to do more self help for their community. But to say we disappointed him by voted out Patrick is crock. Patrick had to f--king go.

Cro Cro said he was disappointed but not about that! Listen more keenly again!

The problem is most of us don't listen properly and then we are so quick to condemn!

I don't personally like Cro Cro the rum-drinker but I listened to his song and he never said he was disappointed about that! That's gross misinformation on your part!

i was shocked she didnt get in d finals. but the commentators were sayin, the judges usually harsh for the first set of performers and heather sang at posittion number two i think.
she had a very good kaiso. a relevant one too.

I dont always agree with soca pro ,but he right ,infact that song is really tame by cro cros standards .He even right ,eg the part where he says Panday is put on a pinnacle ,while black ppl washing they mouth on Manning ! .Black only like blk ppl but love to drag them down lol .All black leaders should always be kept in a place of predominance ,even after they turn to mere figure heads .
