Shaggy Talks His Inner Circle, Real Reggae, Realizing His Purpose + More 

I felt this.

lmao robb banks is doing just fine

Faith, Fitness And, Inspiration yeah, I’ve done somethings i hated my mom for.

I was under the impression Shaggy was rock solid psychologically and had everything in his life 100% under control. But seeing how his relationship with his mother is still strained and weird, I feel like I can relate to him more than I could imagine. I can also relate to his poor broken upbringing.

And then dismiss it when you try to revisit it later in life. Smh.

@@lepoindexter gurl! I hate it when they do it: I don't know what you mean. Did this really happend? I am like😒

@@lepoindexter YUP !

the bible says spoil the rod that spears the child, then it says something about keeping the child dignity after that, which is the part most ppl ignore. The bible is basically saying you can beat your kids but maintain their dignity. Once you disciple them while taking their dignity you abusing them.

West indians...esp haitians

Well done for hearing the lesson and taking it on board. So many of us grown ups will miss this lesson right here.

What about Robb banks 🤔

Yesssss we have to be better people so we can be better parents...I love him for being real.

I felt that interview especially the part about his mom that struck how we are mentally damaged n don’t even know it and end up mistreating our kids and thinking it’s normal. I could see myself being shaggy’s Assistant just to learn from him, he would make a good mentor.

Amen!

Sky Santana I agree. I’m experiencing this with my mom right now. I had to distance myself because it’s just too toxic

TheAtm149 totally agree and me too. Toxic is toxic not matter what the relationship is. Yes, I also remember every ass beating with the belt I got as a kid. I think the emotional abuse as an adult is more painful.

Sky Santana I agree 200% and they say Millennials are the generation that is “disrespectful” but they fail to say we were the kids who had to deal with the after affects of the war on drugs and many of our parents were either on drugs or had psychological trauma from being apart of that era and the civil rights era as far as those kids growing up and seeing certain things and then becoming parents

Mr Lex why do parents do that. My mom did/does same thing. My brother was her favorite and she will tell you that. He and I lived in another state from her and my older sister. My mom would call me all the time. Now I know why. My brother passed away in February and I haven’t heard a word from her. I can’t/won’t call because it is beyond toxic and nothing I do is good enough for her. She is old and she knows better, but doesn’t care.

Mr Lex Mr Lex I understand. Like shaggy said, you gotta break the cycle. Toxic is so stressful and nobody gains anything from it, only pain. Your son is fortunate.

Facts I hope he speak on Olivia even doe it's a super old relationship

And if his mom wasn't a parent how d hell him would a deh ya fi a chat fuckery

Without a mother where would any of us be??????

@Mr Lex slave mentality hence common with West Indians in general.

Yea, lot of us wouldn't be here either, accept and bless, if he don't blame her then he should help her to change ...

sugar baby 555 lol!!! I thought the same thing.

Hello nah....he look way better than Jim Jones the difference shaggy groom his beared and look nice. Jim Jones don't he look unshaven and Never groom.

sugar baby 555 he does to lol to me he also resembles Mike Epps as well 😂

Always has

sugar baby 555 I was just thinking the same thing. They look like brothers.

Ya mon mixup man

Hahahahaha. Get out of my head. Lol his curls look like they've been working out.

We people of color age & end up looking absolutely amazing 😊☺

Guess he aint stress..lol

You can learn a great deal from idiots too! 😂🤣😂

@@TheUltimateLady yup , how not to be one lol.

Yes, the artist dictates the interview and the interviews are classic

Teacake's Janie I strongly agree with you!!

Very true...so what do you think are the possible solutions so that others dont continue the cycle?

@@TheAlkebulanTrust Not sure. It's very complicated. People need to be raised in a positive environment before they have children.

dereck f 😂😂

Lmfao 😂😂😩😂😂

Bruh😂😂😂😂

I thought that was Mike Epps.

Lmaooooo yooooo son u funny as hell.

super cool in person too, isnt an act like some people do

That's that Good 💨💨💨😉

Lol mee too

He looks really mean lol I'm happy I watched the interview

That’s because every man has to come to this point of awakening for a man there’s no age range for woman after 25 she’s mature men take time to reach a point in life where you’ve been awaken spiritually luckily for me I’ve been awaken this year and I’m 27

Yea he's one of the greats definitely work put in 🙌

I am Shaggy's mother. I wish i could tell my side of the story. I was never abusive to any of his kids. He's lying through his teeth.

@@lorrainemiller157 👀 ....go on....

@@lorrainemiller157 🤣🤣🤣foh your shaggys ass wiper.

That means you're scary. Adults shouldnt be afraid on confrontation.

me neither very strange

Kenroy Forte. You are right it is!

The beats don't grab me and the accents are sometimes too thick

XeniasWorld a guess your preference. But kinda hard to say accent nowadays with the new crop of rappers mumbling. To each is own but anything gets played long on radio will be accepted. Gangnam style showed us that!

@@kenroyforte6175 don't disagree. Just giving you the reason behind one person's dislike

You can't tell any old school black people anything to be honest

And he’s so right about the fact that they have amnesia after years go by. Lol I agree 10000%

@@itsmeka8589 but they will remember the money you owed them tho.

Moe Anthony for real but when you loan them money, they throw it in your face that they raised you “with their two hands” *in my dads voice* 😑😩

He's not a good listener

taco2163 Co-sign! I love these type of interviews with depth and substance!!

i agree bro but it’s hard

YoungDad Beats I agree, It’s Very difficult! But we can do it man, if we start small and take baby steps 🙏🏼

We are many

stepfan jack you’re never alone. A lot of us have gone through it and sometime still go through it. Words can have long lasting psychological damage well into our adulthood. We just need to be the courageous ones to break the cycle and create a new legacy of parenting.

@@SpiritAnimal1212 so what do you think we should do? Cuz I don't know and it haunts me daily

stepfan jack have you considered therapy? There’s nothing shameful about therapy and I say that because too many people of color tend to think it’s weak to speak to a therapist OR that it’s a white thing to do. I would also limit or cut off contact from those toxic family members, if you can. It can make such a difference to one’s mental health.

This is common in the West indies in general. Our parents are raised differently over there

AND/OR I hear you but please remember it’s not just in the Caribbean. West Indian parents and grandparents who migrated to the UK, US and Canada etc also brought with them their toxic behaviour which means children of Caribbean descent, in the diaspora, also experience the toxicity of Caribbean culture. Trust me 1000%

Majority of West Indies .. my mother denies all claims ... I’m Haitian trust

seh mi fantastic!

Give a thumbs up if you read that with a deep voice and a Jamaican accent... Mr Luhva Luhva Hmmmmm. 😂

It really was! I enjoyed every second of it.

Bro its not a African/Caribbean parenting ; its a colonial hatred for the young trust me its not ***HEALTHY*** StopAbusingBlackChild Mentally & Physically 😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤

@@iliyano567 thx Sam. Dead on

To some degree, the violence is a consequence of poverty, post slavery, and post colonialism... Listen to African American comedians talk about creative beatings from parents - It's almost a badge of honor. Here the reasoning is that historically, black parents had to teach children to mind, not talk back, behave in order to avoid what whites had the authority to do them at the drop of hat. That behavior continued and is compounded by the severely stressed, derelict communities that have been destroyed by drugs and criminal sentencing and with men extracted. But it sounds like his mom may have been working within some individual emotional and mental health issues that further compounded the situation.

Agreed

Lamine Diallo that's a cop out to say it's s Caribbean/Jamaican way. I was raised by Caribbean cultured old school strict parents who taught me values, but they were never abusive. It's an individual trait that's probably handed down from one generation to the next. Educating oneself is also a key, and if sounds like his Mom hasn't embraced that.

Yeah I've only ever seen the funny side cool guy. Good guy

Agree.👏🏿💯

Ella CR Real Talk! Emotional abuse is more hurtful than a beating with a belt or switch 😔

Mr Lex yeah humans can be cruel. Dealt with that aspect most of my life. The problem is, when a human experience is altered or changed via interaction with humans that are not aware about the how an event or events can impact and scare people or they do know but like to use it as a power. It literally changes your life forever.. the event doesn’t need to be shocking or really harmful it can just be something so simple. your psyche won’t know till you react to it. And how badly it effects you you will really only find out later on down the line. Also you can never come back from this altered experience.. that’s the worst thing. That why online life is so popular. It’s a way of saving yourself from interaction, not effective really but it does help.. anywho yeah humans are mean to other humans animals and plants we are selective in who and what we help which is unnatural because I do believe... well atleast with black and other ethnicities of colour we are not naturally mean. It’s something that is taught to us by interactions or lessons learnt.. have a blessed day.. (my theory is from observation of my own trauma and others around me by the way) try not to not think human interactions are the only option for you to be happy.. plants and animals can help you get through ish too.

Martha J. Jackson any form of abuse is hard to deal with. But f* up the mind through emotional pain is the worst.. because it stays with you. It’s hard to shake off. Stay strong even if you don’t think you can any more. Listen to your body more than your mind... go with feelings instead of what your head is saying.. remember the mind is not actually connected to you body and it can’t process the present moments only the past and the clouded future.. so it’s so important to live in the present and feel your way round the world instead of listening to it sometimes.. We attach the meaning through our mind, like the sensations we feel in our body when facing a problem.. don’t think with your mind all the time as it’s been altered by a uncomfortable event or situation. Stay blessed xxxx

FACT,all kids should obey their parents.

Meanwhile states across the country are trying to make mother's day mandatory.

Martha J. Jackson reggae music is that soul music u can relate too

View Master 10 million worldwide isn’t diamond

Yes sir..yes sir

I said the same thing. Moment he took them off and seen his eyes, I said now we are gonna get into some real deep discussion. Enjoyed the hell out of this interview and I don't even watch interviews like this.

Ikr. In this moment i realized that the breakfast Club listens. The one thing that we all have in common is we all want to be heard. Once we feel like we're heard we talk more. The shades symbolized the hurt and the shield. Once he takes them off he's comfortable and open. Its amazing

Olivia Darden TIME STAMP SIS

@@amberholloway4444 Thanks you Sis! Sweetie

Thanks

A.M. And Friends I think most of us from Generation X, can relate to that. And not just mothers but fathers as well. Our legacy , if we have children, will be to break the dysfunctional pattern and abusive parenting model of our parents when we parent our children. If people can become more self aware and cognizant then we can raise a healthier generation. When we know better, we do better.

Magmafire I agree! Many countries in the Caribbean are like that but you know people are small minded lol

*Shaggy

yep! something about that song just makes me feel so good

91WriterzStatus you’re gorgeous my melanin queen

@Mr Lex omg same here, u r not alone. My mother loves my selfish older brother who just uses people for money n food. Then she gets mad at him 4 his selfish ways. He doesn't care about her at all. I'm so over her n him n the whole family.

African Girl omg! We must share the same brother. It’s been a year since I’ve talked to Mom & brother. Toxic people are infectious.

@@cicelyodom lol. Hahaha we probably do. I'm too stay away from toxic human beings. be it family, friends, lovers etc......I don't care nomore. F! all. Girl it's alright not too have those kinds of people in our lives. I'm done with all of them my family.

@Mr Lex don't allow her 2 make u feel like shit. don't let anyone ever make you feel less then. if u h gotta keep them out your life do it! so you can heal n then let them know y u don't want or need them around

@Mr Lex u r welcome. n anytime

pranimaniacs Squad So true....after 20 years of lots of laughter and lots of pain. I had finally had to tell a friend that our season had ended. The relationship was co dependent and toxic. It really hurt but now two years later, it was one of the best decisions I ever made. I had to finally value myself above others.

Which community????
