It turns out Mr. Lover Lover has had the answer to defeating ISIS all along. His own music.
The once famous reggae-pop star who told us it wasn’t him for roughly eight years straight believes that pumping his own back catalogue into ISIS camps would solve everything.
He thinks that terrorists will connect with his music “on an emotional level” if said music was to be “strategically piped” into Iraqi and Syrian base camps. Incredible.
He said:
If you’re able to cut a man’s head off, you’re sick. But right, music evokes emotion. So if they’re listening to Shaggy music or reggae music, they’re not going to want to cut somebody’s head off.
There’s two things you want to do when you listen to reggae: You get somebody pregnant, or you’re f***ing high. High people don’t want to kill nothing; they want to love. They need to bag some Jamaican weed and distribute it among Isis.
I guarantee there won’t be any more wars out there.
He goes on to state that if this strategy was adopted, extremists may quit terrorism all together.
I have to applaud him. This is one of the best promotional efforts I’ve seen by any musicians to date.
