Neyo Called Kartel Thief?... Jacksons for Sumfest


The Vybz Kartel and Spice song Ramping Shop entered the Billboard hip/hop charts earlier this week at number 96. The tune was on Reggae iTunes chart in March and is still there in two different versions. Reports are that its due to the ban in Jamaica and the rejection by NeYo's management for the unpermitted use of the Miss Independent riddim. Though the song was banned in Jamaica and the Miss Independent version is being scrapped off places like YouTube... radio sations such as HOT97 in the US from time to time play the Miss Independent version, contributing to the popularity of the track.

In a recent report NeYo expressed his disappointment about the fact that Kartel had used his Miss Independent riddim in his Ramping Shop. In a radio interview NeYo indicted that he was not at all happy with what took place and stopped short of calling Kartel a thief/pirate, he stated that "..If they didnt get permission, proper permission to use it, then they shouldn't use it ... same thing as walking into some body's house and taking something that does not belong to them.. you are not suppose to do it..."



Neyo, Spice and Vybz Kartel are expected to be at the Micheal Jackson dedicated Reggae Sumfest scheduled July 19-25, 2009. It is expected members of the Jackson Family will be at the show, this was revealed in a recent press conference.
It is not yet clear if Kartel and NeYo will engage in any friendly clash, whether on or off stage... though there are speculations indicating that there is a possibility that this might happen.

OK Zebra Thats it !!

It appears that ..Zebra has strike again. This time the alleged victim is a 10 year old girl. This is now the third incident of this sort as far as Zebra is concerned. The man is a serial rapists!! ..and this ought to be the last act, he must now be put away for life since he cant keep his hands and things to himself. I don't know if these kind of illnesses can be treated or cured... but a stay in jail for a life time can definitely do some good for the rest of the society.
There are other artistes who have had similar runnings with the law and going against the grain of the norm of the society. One would expect that these calibre of people would been a bit smarter than the average criminal.. but it seems that they are the average criminal turn artiste.
Zebra was released late last year and was looking promising and positive ..though sounding slightly demented in a couple of interviews. It now seems as if the outside world is too much for the Zebra, it is not a place for broken minds especialy one like Zebra's.. chances are anywhere the hothead catch him .. they go ask him.. weh yu run fah?

Twins of Twins Stir it up Volune 8

The Twins are at it again with their latest poduction .. which have been in the pipeline for some time.. but was delayed when they were robbed sometime ago...
The settings for this volume is a bit different but the concept is still about grinding out the fueds and unfortunate situations that exist in the dancehall within the last year or two...
The setting had the backdrop of a court house with lawyers representing the respective parties...
There is the case with Bounty Killa vs Monster Hemp Higher
Mavado vs Vybz Kartel,...
and just LA Lewis vs logistics of the system..
It was the side kicks such as ..jefferey hype and steve representing mavados brother.... seemed to take the spot light from Mavado and Kartel themselves..
If you havnt baught a copy of this one yet.. I think you should ..well,... its good for those who are familiar with the Gaza /Gully feud ..or the antics of LA Lewis .. you should enjoy this one. The ever comanding presence of Reneto Adams was once again on this one and played an active role ..in the preceedings..

There is no word yet of any reactions on the part of the persons who were the subjects on Stir it Vol 8... I guess they knew what was coming and took it with a grain of salt..

Take a pree... there is lots more here ..

The Beef Goes On...

The recent incident in Club Amazura over the weekend between the Five Star General Bounty Killa and the youngsters from the Portmore Empire Blak Ryno and Jah Vinci is an indication that the immaturity, self-destructing attitude and total lack of common sense still prevails in the business of dancehall.
Couple of weeks ago Freddie McGregor from the Big Ship family was in a fuss with Kartel re a non-performance, over the weekend the Junior Reid Birthday Bash ended prematurely when members of the Empire wanted to bomb rush the stage while Kartel was preforming, the cops didn't let them and the show ended when Kartel walked off according to media reports.
The Portmore Empire camp is said to have more followers in their adolescent years, youngsters, largely undeveloped minds... whilst the Alliance/Gully camp has a more strong following of much more grown and mature folks. It is thus expected that the movements by the leader of the Allicance/Gully camp would have continued in this vein to make good as well as follow on a commitment he made recently to tone down and to be more charitable than anything else.
But no.. instead Bounty Killa in a recent news article was quoted as saying that he would box down Blak Ryno if he sings the diss song Drive Thru Price, namely at the Club Amazura show Bung Bang Connect...
