* DropTheHammer: In Volume 10, Bounty Killa is accused of using a hammer to beat his girlfriend.

In addition to ''Stir It Up,'' the Twins also have a podcast, ''The Rebellious Truth,'' and a radio show series, ''In the Mean Time,'' which can be listened to via [=YouTube=] along with other videos of theirs. This page will focus primarily on ''Stir It Up,'' unless otherwise indicated.

* Volume 10: Locked Up a Yaad (the point when the series starts getting DarkerAndEdgier)
* Volume 11: Family (the beginning of the original story of Big Wayne)

* PoliceBrutality: Volume 11 has Mr. Adams beating a hapless fellow for refusing to snitch on Bounty Kila as a suspected gun-owner.

* GrassIsGreener: Discussed in Volume 11, during Ankle Sox's court appearance with his girlfriend Pinky. The judge laments on how, despite Pinky being constantly subjected to abuse by Ankle Sox, she's pregnant for him with their latest child, perpetuating the constantly cycle of violence, poverty, and irresponsibility that they live. Pinky counters that the judge can say anything due to living a more upscale life with a good job, a big house and a nice car, compared to Pinky herself who lives in a ghetto area that constantly suffers violence. The judge, a woman, immediately shoots down that viewpoint by revealing that her own life hasn't always been a bed of roses--her mother, who came from the ghetto, was raped and murdered when the judge was two years old, and she herself was put into foster care because her upper-class father refused to acknowledge her due to ''his'' relatives' lousy opinion of her mother's lower-class life.

The premise of said fictional talk show: Ian Lyad (pronounced [[StealthPun "lie-ad"]] according to the Jamaican patois) is the [[InformedAbility cultured and intelligent talk show host]] who has to put up with the antics of his co-hosts and guests, who all come from a wide cross-section of cultural, political and social divides. His major co-host, [[DeadpanSnarker Mr. Muta]] (pronounced "moo-tah"), does most of the talking during the interviews, often antagonizing the guests and Ian himself, but also providing biting commentary on a lot of things wrong with Jamaica's developing musical and social culture and discussing methods to enact the much-needed changes craved by the country. Later in the series, the story shifts focus in a more dramatic direction by telling an original story with the focus on the character of Big Wayne, a VillainProtagonist whose actions are ''not'' played for laughs.

* AnArmAndALeg: The thug who rapes Munchie gets a hand cut off by Ankle Socks in retaliation.

* DarkerAndEdgier: The series starts getting this way from Volume 10 onwards, focusing more on a storyline featuring Bounty Killa and several persons associated with him, to include loyalist Ankle Socks and his girlfriend Pinky (and it's partially based on [[RealLifeWritesThePlot actual events such as the murder of dancehall artiste Kentucky Kid]]). To put it in perspective how much darker the series gets at this point, Muta only briefly shows up here and there [[ShooOutTheClowns and there's no sign of Ian anywhere]].

* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: In Volume 11, two thugs target supporting character Munchie for murder [[spoiler:on Big Wayne's orders]], but after stabbing her, one of them proceeds to...ahem...go a ''lot'' further despite her pleas. [[EvenEvilHasStandards His crony is bewildered and disgusted enough to flee the scene]].

The ''Stir It Up'' series is best known to fans from Volumes 4 to 8; Volume 4 was never officially released, but bootleggers helped to make it available to the public, thus sparking a demand for official releases of the Twins' work. As a result, Volume 5, "Crucifiction of the Ghetto," was released in December 2004, to much critical and commercial success. Volume 6, "Resurrection of the Ghetto," was released in 2006, followed by Volume 7, "Til Death Do Us Part," a year later. Volume 8, "Trial and Crosses," was released in June 2009.
