Sean Paul - "I use that image to sell records"

In an article by Krista Henry of the Jamaica Star, Sean Paul talks about being voted "Best Male Pop Act" at the AMAs and how it goes being an uptown guy in a downtown world.

"I'm not a pop artiste. I know I'm popular but I don't think of myself like that. To me Micheal Jackson is pop and Britney Spears, I don't think I'm like that.

Its suppose to be dancehall. There's so many dancehall artistes and everyone needs a chance. It just happens like that, people just don't know where to put this music"

And what about being an uptown browning?

"...If someone can be a great artiste and put out many songs and people feel that he's reached there because of this or he didn't reach there because of that- it is a bias that people have. I don't have it, I just do music."

And the future?

"Come January I'll be taking three months to heal from a knee surgery, do some records, I've been doing some lately, working with Renaissance, working with producer Stephen McGregor, looking for hot riddims otherwise."

Hopefully more "Infiltrate" than "Baby Boy".
