@side.questz is the Jamaican legend. Today we talk about art, living in Kingston, Jamaica, TikTok fame, and falling in love with Jamaican women. WELCOME TO CAMP!
Thank you to Bubs, FÜM, and Beam for supporting our hangout
I’m currently living in Jamaica studying in Kingston but originally from Belize, my family is of Lebanese descent and one time i grew my beard out and a random jamaican guy called me “Suicide Bomma” 😂. Now all my Jamaican friends call me that as a nickname.
No sah mi a dead....Jamaicans and these nicknames....no chill at all
Those nicknames stick 🤣🤣🤣
DOPE
Hush ya! Wi wikkid bad. LOL
Hahaha
His description of how race is perceived in Jamaica is spot on. His description of Jamaican nicknames cracked me up.
‘Of Many One People’. Wish the world would adopt this Jamaican concept. The world would be a better place.
Out of Many One People**
The Motto is spot on, but the functionality of this is dismal; for Jamaica operates as a ‘“out of many we are SOME people’” society!
@ayoitsnigelgaming fr my bro, would be a way better place. cant wait to go back home and enjoy the people
You and the world know...that is just a catch-phrase tho'. "ONE PEOPLE"... yeah right!!🤔
Don’t be fooled, many Caribbean countries are still home to an INCREDIBLE amount of people who show little to no tolerance for people they disagree with.
This guy is basically my new favorite on TH-cam videos for the last 3 or 4 months now! I appreciate the depictions of how easy going people from Jamaica 🇯🇲 can be and it makes me wish the whole world would take notes to the social acceptance and openness that Jamaican culture can display. AGWANBOSSI!!! BROWN MAN! ❤❤❤
It made me realize the one part of Jamaican culture I rarely see is just folks on the sidewalk, in chitchat mode.
Social acceptance and openness? I mean, homosexuality is still a big taboo in Jamaica
I do wonder what it looks like in violent moments or situations gone wrong though.
I was super exited to hear him talking for 2 hours.
As a Jamaican American, I have to say this interview was pretty cool. I was afraid of the 2 hours but it was well worth it. Kudos 🇯🇲
same. I thought i might cringe but it was very insightful.
" I am a local", those words ring true to our motto,--out of many one people! Love dah yute yah!
🇯🇲🇯🇲
Hey ! Lot of Chinrse, East Indian, Lebanese, Syrian, and English also Scottish there too, I am Jamaican of French- Jewish and Spanish_so our Motto is "Out Of Many, One People"
Yeah I'm Jamaican and and I live in Jamaica. Gideon was honest, shared his perspective and he did a pretty good job explaining subtle nuances about being Jamaican. I loved this interview and I love his videos. Hope to see more from him. Thank you for this!
Yes mark!! As a white guy that grew up in the caribbean, this guy is awesome. Love his clips, glad to see someone have him on for a long form
You from Germantown Jamaica?
I'm from the US, but my background is carribbean. My dad is from Puerto Rico, and my mom is from the Dominican Republic. I came out looking lighter than the Jamaican dude but with curly hair. Here in the US, I'm hispanic, as well as in my islands. But, in DR, they sometimes like to call me "La extranjera" (the foreigner) because i was born in the states 😂
petition to make sidequestz voice NPCs in GTA 6, i love this guy so much! wished rockstar would hire him 🖤
Not how I found you Mark, but so glad I did. This was an amazing interview. As a Jamaican yuh mek mi proud Sidequestz!! He broke tings dung suh nicely. Big up all Jamaicans dung ah yah and abroad!!!!! 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Caught this guy making shorts a WHILE back and knew he was gonna blow up... guys got a unique take on the street 'pranks', great sense of humor and is talented asf, can't wait to see what his stuff evolves into.
The best pranks are the ones that don't harm or inconvenience the recipient, he has that down pat for sure
You should see his music video Santiago it's 🔥🔥🔥🔥
In the song “Hey Baby” by Stephen Marley and obviously one of the goats mos def, he says “Ive been gone awhile away from you and i hope you OVERstand”. Now i know why he says overstand instead of UNDERstand. Thank you!
My brother would say overstand all the time..
Sorry this is crazy for me cause I know mark from university and Gideon from school in Jamaica… the world is SMALL
Just got you lol
Cap
Cap asf
First time I met a white Jamaican was in high school and at the same time. One of my teachers was a Chinese Jamaican first time ever seeing that. Jamaica is a lot more incredibly diverse than most people think! Awesome interview! Rep the 305 big dawwwwwg
Her name might not be chin or chung but it's something Chinese like
This guy is a real yardman, he is the culture
super well-spoken, intelligent. I learned things from this video, thanks fellas!
Real yaadman.
What does yard man mean
Uptown yute
@@zacharyedwards6428Jamaican man
OH MAAAAAN, THIS IS REALLY A GIFT, THANK YOU MARK!!!! I LOOOOOVE SIDEQUESTZ, NOTHING MAKES ME LAUGH HARDER THAN HIM!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂 SO HAPPY TO GET TO KNOW HIM BETTER AS A PERSON!!!!!!
I used to work at a tire shop with a Guyanese guy who introduced me to dancehall and my life has not been the same since😂
Georgetown big up
😂
Amazing discussion, as a light skinned Jamaican I found it to be on point, accurate, truthful and yet amusing also. Very well done.
“As a light skinned Jamaica..” What does that mean? Do people actively call out the shade of your skin in Jamaica?
@@Es97Coqui yes they do. People are called Browning, red man, whiteman , coolie, missa chin, these are all commonly used and actually that is what this entire video is about. Jamaicans are not racist but they do try to define your race and nationality immediately. They also commonly say things like "fat gyal", to describe people, that would be considered rude in other cultures. It is not meant to be rude here just how we talk.
MarkJBBowen
That shit stupid asf..
Calling each other different terms when being from the same place.. i notice all these places that been colonised do the same shit.. smh.. you can say "thats just how we talk, it's not racist" but sure is fucken ignorant.
What are indians or chinese called?@@MarkJBBowen
@@MarkJBBowenYou’re correct. I’m American, but my husband is Jamaican. They also call someone “Marga” if they’re skinny, and name people by their profession… ex. Cookie for a chef, Singy for a singer, etc.
I love this guy’s channel, his pranks are hilarious. I especially love his Jamaican ones because Patois is a beautiful language and I love learning about it.
I love hearing how cultures and languages blend between each other as they merge. Jamaican English is a beautiful poetry.
We see this warping of language to a lesser extent in different parts of the UK where each region has its own words and meanings but Jamaica just puts this on steroids!
Bob said it all, "one love, one heart"... We are all one people.
😊😂
Every single second of this was interesting! That man is aware of everything around him, he is legit
One thing i can say i was born here and been here my whole life and am sure i couldn't explain this shit like him! hes spot on bro he's no fake bro .. respect to him hes a G
LETSSS GOOOOOOO MARK bringing a amazing guest once again, that’s why you make the big bucks! Insane consistency🔥🔥🔥🔥
I still don’t get why it’s hard for Americans especially to grasp that there are different races and ethnicities in Jamaica just like in the US. I get the “you don’t look Jamaican” so often it’s exhausting to keep explaining. Jamaica’s history is so rich and I’m enjoying uncovering my family’s diverse history. It’s true Jamaica is a mostly Black (African) country, but we’re truly out of many one people.
Girl you’re right. The ignorance levels of so many people boogie me. Buy some books y’all.
the population has also shifted alot in Jamaica due to excessive migration. Jamaica has the same level of brain drain that countries at war have so those who can afford to leave the country, they migrate. The population has become increasingly dark-skinned black and African within the past 25 years.
Because many confuse nationality with ethnicity.
@@chevalierdenoir754 This is false. Jamaica has always been a predominantly Black (African) country. In fact, the percentage of the Black population is decreasing (was around 87% 10+ years ago and now about 77%) due to more mixing of the races and an influx of new Asian immigrants. We as Black people in Jamaica come in all shades.
@@reeseb.6985 Like seriously when did I ever say Jamaica was not always a predominantly black society? Would you please show me where and when, where and when i SAID THAT? I SAID that Jamaica has become even more black this is a FACT. Check the urban centers now vs. 1996. Now I went to an exclusive prep school in the early 90's, I went to a traditional high school in the mid 90's to early 2000's. I've been back I can say with 1000 percent certainty Jamaica is blacker than ever and that is fine. The stinge of colonialism is most evident in the Baby Boomer Generation, like my parents etc they are both black but have very mixed backgrounds and you can tell by looking at them. During the 1970's all of my paternal extended relatives, friends, and more have fled the country to Canada and that has not stopped. Also, a lot of people from rural Jamaica migrate they don't even move to Kingston, straight from the country to overseas. Are you denying the brain drain in Jamaica? Peter and Paul, Stella Marris today vs. 1996 just watch the School Challenge Quiz. By the way before Colombus got here they were no black ppl kmt.
Thanks! Will definitely watch more Camp Gagnon episodes!
💗 thanks bruv
I Really Liked The Respectful Curiosity Of This Interviewer!
He Did A Bloody Good Job!! 🇬🇧🇯🇲
Saw the best tweet the other day when somebody questions " are you really Jamaican" what am I supposed to look like a plate of ackee and saltfish😂, loved this interview, big up to my Jamaican massives 🇯🇲
Finally. I been looking for a interview with Sidequestz for months.
He’s one of my favs. I work w mainly Jamaicans and they are the best. Hard workers and they love America.
Gideon is so handsome. And that accent 😮💨😍 I have a hard time believing he has trouble with the ladies but as a fellow introvert I totally understand his perspective.
Rest your front
Two intelligent guys I'm so glad i found this because ive never heard of either of them and now subscribed for sure. One of the best interviews I've heard and didnt want it ti end..
I love the way he come in and out of his Jamaican accent
That was the sweetest part
That is how many Jamaicans speak, especially in casual situations
M if I don’t have an English accent and I randomly start using English accent in n out of conversation seems like I’m forcing it no ?
Nothing to do with forcing. Obviously that comment is from someone who has no knowledge of Jamaican culture.Yes we change our speech depending on the person you meet.
I grew up in a small Midwest town, and didn’t really have much diversity until I moved away after high school. But when I lived in Minnesota I had the pleasure of working for a Caribbean food truck, and those people, to this day, are the most welcoming, caring, and real people I’ve ever met. I hope to visit Jamaica soon 🔥
I worked with a white boy from Jamaica back in the 90’s. He had locks and everything. This dude reminds me so much of him. Good interview. 👍🏽
Sidequestz is my fav street prank content creator right now, the way he clowns himself is just too good!! I really wish i could do something like that one day, iv always wanted to find a way to be self confident enough and post it on social media, since im a kid iv always wanted to try it.. and the way he does it is reallly inspiring!!
*Bruv had me when he said “Fish” 😂😂😂 I’m gon subscribe now. My goodness!* 😂😂😂
Great conversation for the people that aren’t used to our culture to understand.
What’s the insult mean? Can you describe the context and explanation
Fish and battyman is gay person battyman is str8 gay amd fish swing both ways lol
A man is called a "Fish" because supposedly Batty Man cant swim in the Sea as the water will enter and drown him!
Great podcast fam, Thanks for supporting the island man
Of course I love Jamaicans haha
I love this, I relate to this being mixed as well and light skin. Where I come from in Puerto Rico or in most of the Caribbean, we come in all colors. It really is hard to explain to second generation or American kids that I’m mixed. I loved learning more patios and Gideon’s story’s were fun to hear. Bless up y’all.
His skits r weeekid
The Interviewer did extensive research to conduct this interview. Appreciate it
I'm Barbadian and let me tell you that our nicknames are mostly descriptive too. I think it's a caribbean thing. Every neighborhood has a"tall man", "short man", "Fat man" etc..😂
😂
Indeed😂
Same in St Maarten but Jamaicans are on another level with the nicknames
Bajan?*
@tahileebrown5161 He is correct. Bajan is slang for Barbadian. Bajan is more popular these days.
My retention rate was so high this video. Glad to see you put our thoughts into words Mark. Ly
Bob Marley died 42 years ago. His music transcends cultures and races because he sang about unifying themes of peace and love, social justice, fighting against "isms and scisms" - a challenge to fight against racism, colonialism, etc. Bob is unparalleled. He was a true Jamaican who was not in it for the money but to deliver a message that continues to reverberate around the world to this day. RIP Bob. ❤🇯🇲🇨🇦
He sang about it because he was mixed race. There was a time during his era where mixed people experienced serious racism
You make it sound like you knew the basic of what Bob stands for but yet you don't know the age he died smh. When you speaking about a legend like BM, you get every detail right. Stop being a another vulture on the culture. Oh and Mattthebat, think for yourself and do some actual research.
What does that have to do with this white dude speaking patois?
@@royboy2084You should always write a person's name out don't abbrevirate it.❤
@@scotthughes7440 "A video about a Jamaican guy so I will talk about the only other Jamaican guy I know" lmao
really enjoy this man's video's. I was 1 of those that didn't think he was Jamaican! glad I got the hear the back ground.
Jamaican are really and truly patriotic. We support each other hardcore
Unless you’re gay
Really looking forward to watching this tonight as a huge fan of Flagrant who had been married to an amazing Jamacian woman and working with Jamaicans for almost 15 years. I'm around Jamaicans so much I find myself cussing and speaking to myself in my head in patois and slipping bits of it into my speech without realizing or thinking about it.
I think you should start a TH-cam day in the life it would be intriguing to see you interact with them 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂 wow that would be interesting to witness based on your profile pic haha 😂
My boyfriend is Jordanian and now I only cuss in Arabic in my head lol it’s so funny how you really do become who you surround yourself with and it happens without even thinking about it 😂
I as a white Canadian had my best friend who was from Trinidad 🇹🇹, long story short are parents made an arrangement where I moved to Trinidad 🇹🇹 with my best friend Bolan. I stayed for 2 years at the age of 12 . I had the best time , and I really enjoyed this conversation. Such a random guest . This is why I love this channel . Well done sir 😊!!!
How did a show about jamaica remind you about Trinidad🤔🤔
@@LioNelMessi-zm7cibecause jamaica isnt the only country in the caribbean? And not the only country that speaks patois?
i wanna hear the long story. sounds interesting as heck.
@starz8227 sorry but patois literally Jamaican culture yea others use it but it's not the same accent
@@Nathan-xe8pg huh? What are you on about? That doesnt even add anything to the converstation. Jamaica doesnt own patois, whats the point of calling it a Jamaican thing when you just stated everyone else's is different? Theres a lot of people that speak patois and if you dont want to hear it fine, leave. Jamaica isnt the only caribbean country around, get over yourself
Dude is so cool. I really wanted to know about him. Thanks for the interview.
@15:32 Etymology
It is generally understood that the term comes from the Hindi and Telugu word kulī (क़ुली)(కూలి), meaning "day-labourer", which is probably associated with the Urdu word kulī (قلی), meaning "slave". The Urdu word is thought to come from the Tamil word kulī ("hire" or "hireling"). The word kūli, meaning "wages", is present throughout the Dravidian language family, with the exception of the North Dravidian branch.
It is also thought that the Hindi word qulī could have originated from the name of a Gujarati aboriginal tribe or caste.
The Chinese word kǔlì (苦力) is an instance of phono-semantic matching that literally translates to "bitter strength" but is more commonly understood as "hard labour".[citation needed]
In 1727, Engelbert Kämpfer described coolies as dock labourers who would unload Dutch merchant ships at Nagasaki in Japan.
Yup. Now we just spell it “coolie”
thank you so much
Makes sense the majority of Indian descents came to Jamaica as indentured servants
Yes I was Taught By my Mom She's half Indian ( Jamaican🇯🇲) that coolie is a Racial slur My Mom hates the word and I've seen Indians in Belize who don't like to be called Word also Trinidad is different though.
It's hella racist to use it in Trinidad and Tobago
Great interview.. Gideon, saw you through your shorts.. massive respect to you after this.. great interviewer.. empathic, listens, proper conversation.. so enlightening..
I’m so proud of this young man how he embraces Jamaica and its culture.
he's Jamaican tho lol
Bro he IS Jamaican! He's not embracing something he learned about from his cousin.
Are you serious 😂😂😂😂😂 i don't think you watched the interview
i think they're referring to him highlighting jamaican culture in the states@@joshmorris5322
@@Elitistt just like the 77 people that liked the comment 🤣🤣🤣
This has become my favorite podcast to listen to. My favorite episode so far is the Paul Sutter episode everything was explained simple. Good stuff
I appreciate you checking them out my dawg
This dude is hilarious. Saw some of his clips, and was stoked to see him as a guest and get some background.
I've never seen this guy out of his "Jamaican" character before. I am enthralled by his wit and intelligence in this interview. He's cool and true to himself.
I work with twelve men from Jamaica. Nicknames are real. We got: Nose, Squirrel, Iron, Big Boy, Major, Neegle, Fui, Schoolboy, Goalie, Dragon, Killer Bean and Tallman. They call me either General or Mafia
I’ve got 1 Jamaican friend, he keeps telling me I should get dreads and he calls my son “curly yute” lmao
Killer bean lol
There needs to be a movie - like Reservoir Dogs
This is a great interview about my country, and my Jamaican brother @side.questz has educated the listeners well.
Dude you keep hitting this out of the park with these guests! Just a suggestion, would you consider doing Nardwuar if he was up for it? Guy never gets a real look for all the crazy interviews he’s done.
🔥🔥🔥 Great suggestion
Nardwuar is a mythical creature. Getting him on a podcast would be more than legendary. Love that dude great suggestion.
I agree. This man hasn't put out a dud yet.
Great suggestion mate but I reckon he's got more chance of getting Elvis on the pod than him sadly! Part of Nardwuar's appeal is that he isn't available for interviews and it builds mystique, he's extremely calculated with his actions and it's worked to build his brand over the years so it has to be respected.
it's a damn shame though because that would be an awesome interview!!
Would be a dream, I love Nardwuar
He explain everything perfectly 🇯🇲
He needs to do much more of the Jamaican sketches.
I think what it is is you need to watch more Jamacan sketches
Yes more
My dad was Syrian and my mum was Jamaican and we all came to the UK as children and my dad left us. I was always referred to as browning because of my light complexion and was originally from Saint Elizabeth. I was never told to growing up about my Syrian heritage until a lot later in life. I left at such a young age but never understood why my mum didn't explain this to us. Maybe thats how things were in those days i suppose. Listening to this is so heart-warming and help me to understand more. This was a fascinating interview and just subscribed to your channel, your hair is amazing, handsome and beautifull young men. I feel proud and in awe of this guy talk8mg do proud of the country i left behind.
This was good. I've always seen this guy and always wondered his story. I'm so grateful for podcasts. Everyone's story is being told. BIGUP!
Definitely can relate with a lot of this. Big up mi Jamaican dem!
Big up
Gideon used to go to my school in Madrid, Spain (we were actually in the same class too) but he unfortunately got expelled after a few months for smoking weed. I remember him being quite shy
This is cool as hell. Seen some of his bits and thought he was super funny. Cool to see his accent loosening up as you got further into the interview, patois is beautiful to listen to, and he got cool stuff to say :)
The comments on go to where the music is made is so spot on. Always felt this with Toronto music, it needs to be experienced in Toronto, listening to the weeknd’s mixtapes, drake, partynext and Tory lanez in Toronto, driving in the fall just hits different
Earlier in the century, Jamaica was a refuge for thousands of oppressed people from different parts of the world.
There's nothing crazier than hearing an asian with a Jamaican accent. That shit blew my mind 🤯
In Jamaica they call East Asian Jamaicans mr or Miss chin lol
What's even crazier is hearing them speak in patois and reading a newspaper in Chinese now that's the wild part! Jamaica to the world
Hahaa similar experience in Belize, I met an Asian bus driver with Belizean accent.
There a lot a Asian in Jamaica, you clearly don't know history
2:17 YOU WE HAVE A LOT OF DIFFERENT CULTURES, SO JAMAICAN ARE NOT SURPRISED 3:58 bullshit, so he's not Jamaican,
I love this guy! Thank you for interviewing him I’ve always wondered what his story was!
Bro ive been waiting for someone to finally interview this dude. Ive been lovin his channel. Hell ya. Finally.
I feel him, being a black German comes with weird questions as well lol

I would run.....😂😂😂
Literally 😂😂😂
Won't you be atleast impressed first about anyone stringing up words like that to mean "let's have sex" 😂😂 and maybe become a little curious to see this beating of the cervix 😂😂
In regards to patios variation based on geographical location in Jamaica , the answer is yes . Different parishes that you go to will have slight differences in the accent and the slangs that they use , for example someone from Montego Bay will sound totally different from someone in St Elizabeth . Someone in St Thomas will have differences from Montego Bay and St Elizabeth . Its complicated and even Jamaicans are startled by the different accents and slangs used thorough the island .
We people in the fourteen parishes sounds different when u talk sometimes people can know where u come from or know u not from their parish we talk the same words but Kingston people sound different from people that lives in the other parishes
Patois with a capital p or Jamaican Patois as you would say is a language so it has its variation across different parishes.
Bro you got this dude!!!!! His videos are f***en hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hey Mark this Is a dope interview as a Jamaican it cool to see you so genuinely interested in the culture. Come visit bro flagrant fans are here 2
I remember hearing comments from Monty Alexander years ago at a concert about his experiences growing up... then he played a few reggae/jazz songs on the piano... damn
Gideon you've lived your life very well so far. Many of us black people have been born in places where we were the minority - and you have felt this too at times through living in Jamaica . You're one of us. Many of us had to navigate a culture which was NOT natively ours and learnt it,learned to embrace it, and had to find ourselves and joy within it. It's hard in early life especially but it gets better and so wonderful if you have wisdom and kindness about you. Well done! Keep going. We understand much of your experience and accomplishments, the emotional growth, and spiritual significance of such as journey. 🔆
Great interviewer too, very authentic vibe.
This guy is just simply, real raw and honest, Everything he explained is exactly so.,
@15:48 coolie comes from Chinese term for “overworked labourer/slave”. When blacks were freed, many Chinese and East Indians took their place to work the fields.
Bs. They worked for US. We have always been in the usa as black people.
@@pathua7692 My 96 year old relative told me that coolie was inappropriate and that I should stop using it. He further explained that most people don’t know that it is demeaning to people who are black but has some indian decent. I did not know that and was shocked. I was almost 50 at the time. There were several other relatives there that looked more Indian, than black and they also joined in the conversation and also stated that coolie duppy and coolie babu are also demeaning. Some people don’t know and continue to embrace it. That is Jamaica for you. They also referred to North Americans as Yankees. My choice is not to use it, now that I know some people are offended.
While coolie originated as a derogatory word. It's generally no longer used in that way in Jamaica. But, if people don't want to be referred to as a coolie, I understand and respect their wish.
Yeah man my family mix too My father's family on my dad's side are French- Jewish, Spanish
mix, and my mom's side are English and Scottish descent ,Out of Many One people!! Bless up!!!🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲👍👍👍👍
As a black Jamaica it was truly a shock to hear him wish he were black when he was a child. Like I never would’ve thought that. I want to meet a non black Jamaican and hear their experiences. There is rarely any place where they meet besides school and even then it’s rare
And it makes sense, you never want to be the odd one out, everybody wants to fit him. Its higkey a survival thing for a lot of people, i went through something like this because the first 7 years in school i always went to a private school so when i went to a private school with straight up hood dudes i had to change how i spoke and thigns like that, i always been from a hood but never had the strong """"hood""""" accent, but after i finished school i talked kinda 50/50, sometimes i talked in the most hood way possible and others i speak very nerdy because thats who i was at my private school.
White Jamaican here. Yeah, it didn’t feel that great to stand out so much, esp as a shy person. It wasn’t fun having my art teacher point to me in class and say ‘ in the states she wouldn’t be white’ and being the center of that discussion, or other children snickering about me when we talked about slavery in class- like i am the symbol of all evil lol. And just walking around, people can make a big deal, and with crime and being a female, so often it’s better to just not put yourself out there, literally lol. I always felt people would make fun of how soft spoken I was, etc- I had this impression like I was too soft in general and that wasn’t good. But that’s also my personality and the fact that I’m from a more sheltered part of town. Jamaicans are usually very bold and I’m not lol
Theres every type of Jamaican in toronto
@@adammckenzie6074 yes, I feel like we should be free to just be how we are. We’re not all the same.
@@Livingrentfreeinyomind77 I’m sorry you endured that! You didn’t deserve that. There’s a lot of healing to be done. If it makes you feel any better I wasn’t the typical Jamaican either (and I grew up in country 🥲), very shy and awkward and couldn’t dance to save my life, this set me up for bullying and being known as the weird girl. I hope you’ve had better experiences since then and I hope nowadays kids are kinder
Fascinating vlog. It confirms everything I have learned in the past 25+ years of living with Jamaicans.
Really enjoyed this interview. I haven't watched any other interview this long and only started to follow sidequest the other day.
I love Side Questz. And now i found your channel, you ask some genuinely good questions. Cant wait to hook this up to listen to whenever.
The Jamaican content is Awsome , I could watch that all day lol
Has a Jamaican living in different countries I understand/ overstand you and also proud of you .
Sidequestz and Mdot is a collab that the internet is not ready for.
“Beat up the cervix” took me out 😂😂😂 this dude is so awesome though, big up Gideon!
This Camp is getting Crowded Mark, so awesome to watch the growth
Everyone welcome at camp, thanks for being a part of it
Jamaicans, i cluding myself, never knew racism existed until i lived in the UK. Jamaicans are now aware through the internet, social media.
Social media will be the downfall of us 😭
You know two guys are vibing really well when they suggest starting a band together haha
These questions are amazing the atmosphere amazing the speech pronunciation amazing you look proper and wow this podcast is probably one of the best I've ever seen in my life and I fully mean that , large up yourself bro ‼️
I love these little niche interviews that aren’t just the same famous people regurgitated over and over, and feature interesting but lesser known creators
I never knew that he had Palestinian ancestry. Great episode, the conversation sounded so fluid!
I’m Guyanese and I found out couple years back that there were Syrians that migrated to Guyana in the 1920s as merchants - they sold business clothes and shoes. My mom said they use to come around on Sundays to business when she was a kid. Which blew my mind. Later to find out my cousin is a decent of Indian and Syrian ancestry. I’m a decent of Indian, English and Portuguese descent. The Caribbean is so mixed, still amazed me.
Palestinians, Syrians, etc colonized Jamaica many years ago and hold much of the wealth
Enjoyed this interview, sidequestz is really entertaining lmao
Dude seems chill. Great interview homie 💯
A two hour and fifteen minutes interview about a caucasian with a Jamaican Accent. This is the level of genius we're viewing here. /S
