While such songs are commonplace now, particularly given Jamaica’s world-leading crime statistics, they were near taboo back then, especially considering that at the time of its release, the nation’s crime rate was not nearly what it is now, with data from the Jamaica Constabulary Force indicating that in 1989, the year of the song’s release, Jamaica recorded just 439 murders. Doo label, the song details the artist’s fascination with a new gun in a way most would find shocking at the time. While this 1989-released track by the now incarcerated deejay, Ninjaman, pales in comparison to the others on this list in terms of violent imagery, the song’s brazenness, considering the time period in which it came out, sets it apart and easily makes it a candidate for placement on this list.
