While the authorities responsible for making these decisions at all local stations have denied comment, refused calls, or refused to return calls we have only what comes through other staff members of the stations.

According to local Disc Jockeys, the reason for the ban against the new dance track by local artist and producer, Blood, seems to be that the song was too "suggestive" in a sexual sense.

This is not the case. In actual fact, the song rightfully titled "Wuk You" is really a song about dancing. To "wuk" or to "wukkup" as we understand in colloquial speech refers to the manner in which we as a nation dance, particularly to the music of our local and regional artists. While the words themselves "Wuk You" may be phonetically similar to another, less appropriate phrase, it is not the intention of the artist.

In reality, this Artist is being punished by the authorities' incorrect assumptions and prenotions that all calypsos have sexual connotations. These incorrect assumptions are writing off the hard work and dedication of this local artist.

On top of his dedication to his own Music, Blood has also been responsible for mentoring many upcoming Calypsonians as well as producing their tracks. Blood does all this while continuing to promote and foster a continued interest in Calypso amongst the musical youth of Barbados and his dedication deserves a greater reward than this.

The most controversial fact is that our radio stations seem to have a double standard for our local artist Vs international artist. A popular song which can be heard on all the radio stations in question is one by the International Superstar "Akon" entitled "Smack That". A song about the ways the artist wants to have intercourse "all on the floor" and asks his seductress to "give him some more". How can these blatantly sexual, outright disgusting and totally degrading songs be permitted on our radio stations when the hard work and dedication of our local artists are criticized and banned? This is surely unacceptable!
