Rihanna is the one that needs to stop attempting a Jamaican accent. Bey isn't even trying to sound Jamaican on the song.
Exactly.
And when I saw the ill informed gyals screaming "RACIST!" at mainstream media mocking the unintelligible nature of the song.....
Of course it was unintelligible...a Bajan girl trying to sing in Patois...
As a fellow West Indian, I can see why Rihanna uses a Jamaican accent instead of a Bajan one. Same reason why Nicki uses a Jamaican accent instead of a Trini one.
They aren't exactly as pleasing to the ear as Jamaican patois in music.
Bey isn't even trying to sound Jamaican on the song.
I can't
He should've waited a week.
