This is "real ting" and one for the more intelligent ones to discern who is 'King Stupid'. In this era of curfew one has to be careful about calling names. We are talking about Impulse - 2005 Young Kings Calypso Monarch - song Shadow Jumbie and he has come up with a double entendre song that you have to discern who is King Stupid... well can you?
So if yuh looking for-king-stupid (use your imagination...say it as if it is all one word). Do you think that this is good double entendre or just a rude and crude calypso? You be the judge. Hey just in case you don't know about Impulse I have included a clipping from the Trinidad Guardian Newspapers that follows...
"Wayne “Impulse” Modest will deliver a double entendre kaiso that promises to leave many surprised. “A people without a culture, is a people without a soul.” So said calypsonian and soca artiste, Wayne “Impulse” Modeste. Music and culture have been elements of his everyday existence, and even when the going got tough, Impulse pushed forward with his craft, exercising his creative ability and highlighting the ills of the industry where necessary.
Impulse who has been performing for the past 24 years has found the time to create a kaiso single with a double entendre that focuses on the state of emergency, drug lords and the authorities.
The track entitled, King Stupid, has already been making the rounds at radio stations as Impulse said he has been preparing Dj’s and personalities for its imminent release. “Iwer said he not banning no song and at Power 102 they started to laugh one time,” attested the entertainer. He attempted to explain the concept behind the single, stating, “In Trinidad we don’t call no drug lord, King Pin—we call them King Stupid cause they doing stupidness, and in the song, I call out all the different drug lords from all over the world like Dudus Coke, Pablo Escobar and the others, and I say we call our drug lords, King Stupid so the government lock down the whole country… and who they looking for? They looking for King Stupid.”
