POPULAR EMCEE Mac Fingall has lambasted the media for spreading “negative” images of the Crop Over Festival, with criticisms including out-of-key singing.
Fingall also accused Barbadians of being seemingly afraid to embrace their own music – ragga and spouge – and blamed some entertainment writers for perpetuating a “slave mentality”.
