Deport Them
"Deport Them" was the first single released by reggae-dancehall artist Sean Paul from his debut album ''Stage One''. Originally released in 1998, co-written and produced by Tony "CD" Kelly, it reached number 80 on the ''Billboard'' R&B chart in 2000. The song was briefly featured in the 2003 film ''2 Fast 2 Furious''. Sean appeared in the 1998 film ''Belly'', and used a sample from a song on its soundtrack, "Bashment Time" by Mr. Easy and Frisco Kid, in "Deport Them". ==Song synopsis== The song deals with the subject of sexually attractive women, as well as Sean's attitude to women who do not fit his aesthetic criteria. He says that if a girl is "nuh di modeling type wi nuh court dem/but if ah di big beauty queen wi support dem". Equally if a girl is "nuh up to date wi deport dem" or "can't keep up wit di trends wi report them". The song, then, uses the metaphor of immigration and state control and applies them to Paul's concept of feminine beauty, seeming to imply that women who are not up to his standards should be forced to leave the country. He later extends this metaphor stating that "wi hafi tell dem one ting customary/Keep it tight just like di military", seeming to invoke the Jamaican military's ban on recruiting homosexuals. Paul is unrepentant saying: "wi nuh sorry... Bad Man nuh sorry cuz wi done hit di cherry" arguing that he is not a misogynist, for "done legendary nuff gal wife he marry". Therefore, the song can be interpreted as both a love song, and as a paean. The song uses the "Bookshelf" riddim. The song is featured on the compilation album ''BookShelf'', which also includes Sasha's "Dat Sexy Body". It was also featured on the compilation ''Reggae Gold 2002''.
