The latest evolution in Caribbean carnival music = PopSo! - a blend of contemporary R&B, HipHop & Dancehall styles filtered through today’s cutting edge Soca artists.

iFeel allyuh need to haul yuh mudda a$$ witht this nonsense
If u giving soca to the “world” y water it down? Y not just bring these new artist as new pop artist. Y diminish we music. If they dont like it to bad. But dont water it down for the world to hear at least let us have an identity in the world with our music first so it can be identified. No other music breaks into the music scence being introduced as something other than what it is.
Allyuh may fool small minded westiindian to think that we have accomplished something but Until it is we music we aint accomplish nothing
i agree with the above post give soca its proper marketing and stop messing around with an already established art form to the many where this artform is a part of thier culture itz a slap in the face to use thier artist and thier style but claim it has to be marketed different by this watering down of the music
The new name sucks, but the idea is valid, i cannot call what some of these artits singing Soca, and mean it. This new evolved form of soca music needs a new name but nor no facking popsoca, wha de a$$ popping ?,,,leff here wid dat and come again
Don’t we have this already? by “Groovy Soca “. Popso can’t they be more creative and use what T&T already call it and stop messing around with it.
Let’s get a petition going to have it remain as Groovy Soca not not no American Generic name of “POPSO”. Popso sucks really.
And it this stays let have a new name like SupaSoca For the form of soca music that comes out the the smaller islands like -Antigua-BVI-St.Kitts& NEvis etc.
That my feeling ..SOCA Lives on……

Bunch of BS if you ask me. Why doesn’t VP just piss on the soca artistes why dey at it…”a blend of contemporary R&B, HipHop & Dancehall styles filtered through today’s cutting edge Soca artists.” STEUPS
Kudos to VP Records…for finally owning up to what sell-outs they are. Hopefully die-hard proponents of Caribbean culture will finally open their eyes and forever distance themselves from anything put forth by VP Records…including the so-called Soca/Reggae Gold series.
what a fackin slap in de face to real soca artists & soca lovers!!!! wheel & come again with that popso shite!!!!!!!!! bun fyah pon the idiot who dreamed up that name. what is wrong with calling it soca & educating the rest of the world about the sweetest music that has been created in the west indies? Oh I forget allyuh @ VP only concerned with what passes as dancehall/reggae nowadays. Then stick to what u know if u doh care about soca which is so obvious to anyone with 1/2 a brain. Come correct or doh come at all u fackin vultures. Soca fans are calling for a boycott of yuh pathetic product. Shame on u, VP is a disgrace to Caribbean culture.
I like the NAME.
It will SEPARATE the so-called AUTHENTIC soca from what is now being played in the mainstream.
There are people who have said that SOCA should stay SOCA. Well, this POPSO will see to that!!
Now SOCA can stay SOCA, just like how you guys LIKE it, while the mainstream will market POPSO.
This should be a DREAM come through for many of you guys.
You wanted SOCA to stay in the Caribbean.
Well, POPSO has made your WISH come through.
You should be CELEBRATING.

VP Records is a waste of time. Dutty Muddacunts, What type of new jackass genre is this? We should go into Jamaica and start a new shupid genrem with a bunch of reggae artists.
FACK VP RECORDS.
Remember KIDS!
LOL
Look By defacing a style of music that defines our heritage is something that i think takes alot of balls.For now even more westindians influence the way of life in america more than any ethnicity..To do such a thing would be murder for one “NO” one will buy such a thing called Popso .Please refrain from doing this and Give “Soca” a chance..let the people hear what Soca is and plus why go through all that trouble when the caribbean is full of artistes who have learned to fight all odds they can write not only their own lyrics but play instruments and perform..Pure Raw talent….. all it takes is just a talent scout to the caribbean and trust me You’ll Find “SOCA” artistes who are the full package
Lol@ “Popso h8tr”….dat name is pure kicks
I feel Vincypowa on de receiving end of some of VP ‘largess’…..
Popso = Piss Po’
pop so.. dancehall .. why dey doh call it pophall
Popso fi dead.
