Dancehall star Vybz Kartel is not well-nigh roots reggae musicians favourite personality. Still, the embattled deejay is garnering support from some unlikely place in reggae music.

Dave McIntosh, the son of reggae keen Peter Tosh, empress his sympathy towards the "Cake Soap" disk during his speach at his begetter's birthday symposium last week Wednesday, at the Undercroft, UWI.

Young Tosh drew on his begetter's lyrics — "You cyann blame di youths," to contextualise his feelings for Kartel.

Much to the anaesthesia of the audience, Dave Tosh said he plans to do remakes of some of his father's archetype songs with Vybz Kartel, including the iconic "Cyaan Blame Di Youths."

"I hear a lot of people come up and they talk about the vocal, Y'all Cyaan Blame Di Youths, and it kinda affect mi, because is a song weh mi love mi cocky. And it means a lot to mi. In contempo times, our business manager planning on doing some remasters with Peter'southward music. Then i of the ting nosotros did plan to do, was to remaster some songs such every bit Legalise It, You Cyaan Arraign Di Youths, and in talking to them me make a suggestion. Mi look pon dem and seh, you know sey me take the top artiste of Jamaica fi put pon You Cyaan Arraign Di Youths right at present. And dem sey which artiste dat? — Mi sey Vybz Kartel."

Adding,

"Information technology kinda distressing that information technology never really happened. You lot run across whe mi a bargain wid. Because we hear everybody talk nigh a Peter Tosh or a Bob Marley every bit existence icons, nonetheless, me can call up as a child growing upward, they weren't much. Because they were old 'dutty-caput' Rastas. You lot see information technology's the same fashion dem care for the youths even of today."

"so if we cannot arraign the youths for what is going wrong, or the wrongs or the ills that they are doing, and then who can we blame? That is the question."
