  54. D.... g....

    Na he's talking bout killing batty riders /gays

    D.... g....

    Nothing to do with gays. 'Batty riders' are short shorts. Americans call them ''Daisy Dukes' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22R5tPvp7aE

    D.... g....

    daniel george - You’re dumb! In the 90’s, a batty rider was a really short pair of shorts! Also called pum pum shorts. You are clearly reaching.... whack. Big up Buju.....

    D.... g....

    u don't overstand dancehall u doughnut!!!

    D.... g....

    You're an idiot. He is talking about girls I short shorts. And when he says murder is like hes saying omg

    D.... g....

    Daniel George, I'm just seeing your text, you're so WRONG!.this song is about Buju professing his love for seeing girls in short shorts (referred to as Daisy Dukes or the modern name "boody shorts"). In Jamaica it is referred to as " batty rider" , it would be my pleasure if you would be informed before putting misinformation out there, its not nice! I also realized that it's been a while since you've posted this comment and I'm also hoping that you've since understood the Jamaicans patois.....when in doubt please feel free to ask....thank you!

    Batty mean "private parts" in JA in general. has nothing to do with sexuality. When you put a gender with it, it addresses that gender, "private parts". Know English to comment please!

    you guys are funny AF one idiot said *r u f''ing kiddin' me? a batty rider is faggot. he is talkin' about the fact that he thinks faggots should be murdered. I do not agree, but that is what this song is about* whahahaha batty rider is a short shorts that rides up in females batty #stupid & the bible said gay people should be dead sooo? re

    S.... F....

    No stupid, batty rida is a really short tight shorts

  66. S.... M....

    Look up  this artist Tiana - Batty Rider. She will clear the air. Some of her lyrics are also from this Buju track. If you think Batty Riders are anything but a pair of lady's short shorts then you aren't from the era or the culture and are applying your own meaning based on your perception of something you don't know much about. This song is a boom tune (hit) from the 90's, spurred the short shorts period and has set the trend since. Bless up Gargamel.

  67. R.... ....

    yall are killing me with this!!!! If you listen he's clearly talking about the batty rider shorts!. Buju has made some anti-gay records. but this is clearly not one of them. It's such a dope happy good vibes tune. LISTEN!

    R.... ....

    At this point nobody cares bout these 2000 babies feelings thos song older than they mama they need to chill out

    @obert Mupambireyi true!

    R.... ....

    obert Mupambireyi Talk truth bredrin

  68. R.... S....

    A batty-rider/ batty-shorts is a shorts that rides the posterior/butt; like boy-shorts for ladies. The shorts is cut very high that a bit of ass is exposed. Buju is singing about his appreciation for this. Murder here means strong approval; similar to when someone says 'wicked' or 'dope'! Nothing to do with homosexuals.   

    R.... S....

    aaah thank you till this day l thought he was dising gay people

    R.... S....

    @Robert T Gwena Buju Banton was like 17 when he wrote Boom Bye Bye, the homophobic song, which he removed from all of his channels now, since he realized that it doesn't represent him. He also said that the song was about a pedophile that raped a kid he knew in Kingston, but I doubt it's true. Anyway, he removed it from all of his concerts and channels, like I said.

    R.... S....

    Tell them Roge saint! 🇹🇹🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Looking for controversy & don't even know the west indies slang! These fools!!!!!!!!

    R.... S....

    What about when he said "All fruits ripe"? "Fruit" is slang for queer & "ripe" is another word for bad, so in translation, he says "all queers are bad".

  69. a.... ....

    this is nothing pertaining to homosexuals a batty rider are really short shorts females wear thank you very much think and know your facts before you comment next time . If you ask I know this because I have family members from the Caribbean that's all they wear in Jamaica.

  70. S.... ....

    This song has nothing to do with gays...it's talking about the females short shorts...

  71. F.... ....

    I dunno if this makes me a bad person, but when I understood what the lyrics were about, I think I started to like it more. I got no problem with gays, but I think I just liked it more.

  72. t.... ....

    The definition of batty rider is "extremely short shorts worn by women". Also, the lyrics involve women, but I could be wrong about the meaning.

    t.... ....

    You are not!

    @Retribution83 I think the second voice is saying "big it up", I've heard the phrase in other dancehall songs

  75. N.... W....

    Old School Buju - Still Jammin'! ;) Love all of his music - dancehall and roots!!!

  76. R.... ....

    what is the second voice saying? and what is this song about? can't understand anything.

    R.... ....

    The second voice is saying 'big it up'
    The song is about women who wear short shorts. The Jamaican term for it is 'batty rider'

  77. P.... ....

    I love dancehall but hate the homophobia

  78. D.... A....

    batty rider = booty shorts thats what buju banton is talking about.

    D.... A....

    Show me your batty

    No bredren, dis is about the gyal pickney dem, straight!
