  1. im so happy i came accros this video i really wanted to go this year but life be lifing. im so happy seeing all you having so fun <3

  2. Let me say Jamaica is NOT A Carnival Island. It is the forte" of the other Caribbean Islands. Whining is not only Jamaican. Whining is Caribbean across all Islands. Soca and Calypso, which is Carnival Music is not Jamaican music. Just a bit of factual history for you.

  3. I was raised in the carnival area (and still live here) and recognised every location you were at. That jerk chicken spot was outside my primary school (St. Mary’s).

  4. You should have taken the bus from Camden Tiwn to the Carnival; would have avoided all that traffic and walking.

  5. Thanks for showing the positive side of carnival a lot of the British media tries to paint Carnival in a bad light. The overwhelming majority of people who attend carnival have to fun and safe experience, but if you listened to the DailyMail you’d think it was The Hunger Games. 😒

  6. Fantastic weekend. It's great to see more people understand what all the fuss is about.
    The earlier you get there, the easier it is to beat the crowd. You can get your bearings, and understand where the quiet spots are.

    You found the soca Police. Ive not seen them for about 6 years. They are there to make sure everyone has fun

  7. I remember walking through Nottinghill the following day after boxing day, the streets smelt like a toilet. Just pee everywhere you went, feces outside people's homes. It was nasty.

  8. The end of the video is the blackest thing I have ever seen, black people of the diaspora arguing about who has the most seasoned chicken. 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

  9. I’ve been to the US several times. NYC loads of food places yeah…..but major ingredient missing……quality lol…….Florida ermmmmm considering I saw loads of JA food places….man they lacked serious flavour Tottenham, Brixton, SE London, etc has better Caribbean food by far outside of Jamaica (I’m married to a Jamaican) LOL…..Atlanta had a good few meals……I find US give you overall piles of food……quality is questionable…..glad you like Carni though bro

  10. Dude didnt have a program. He just went! He didnt follow trucks he didnt see djs he didnt get proper food he didnt do after. Mate this angers me because he didnt do it right. Also where was the pre hype

  11. I’m Jamaican and Grenadian- there’s no part of Jamaica that has a carnival and they are not known for that. Carnivals originate and are held in the smaller islands but everybody’s welcome..

  12. I didn't see a actual carnival, all I saw was a bunch of people walking where was the people in the costumes Jamaicans don't really know about carnival. Now if you're talking about Brazil and Trinidad and Tobago yes those are the only two countries that know about carnival
