I have heard dancehall artiste who clash/war say its not literal, it is not to be taken seriously, beyond wax and stage. Perhaps along the line when Sizzla "bu'n Jesus" and Capleton keep asking tell him what to Bu'n, cause apparently he has already burnt everything. Capleton did indicate that its about the fire for purification, cleansing and stamping out unrighteousness. Well we know that those that had clash over the years...have had real heart feelings.. Stitchie was affected by what Papa San said in their famous sting clash .. and Shabba cried when Ninja gave him an onslaught.
The war on wax these days are bit more elaborate and are considered to be orchestrated and designed to facilitate promotion of artiste and business surrounding the artiste. One of the newest clash that is currently on wax has gone little bit beyond that, at least not what I expected. The Flippa Mafia, Elephantman differences has breached the wax border.
Flippa well known to be a show promoter in the United States was scheduled to have Elephantman on the Philly Summer Fest Show, however there are reports indicating that Flippa Mafia has ripped Elephantman off the show line-up and have inserted Jah Vinci and Blak Ryno from the Gaza fraternity in his place. Not that this will significantly affect the big international star Elephantman but to see that Mafia himself indicated recently that the war of words between them is not a literal thing or anything too serious and thus one would think that he would have kept it that way and have Elephantman on the show. This is almost like Bounty Killa saying that he put down the war thing and then suddenly drop several bombs on Kartel and Kartel himself recently indicated that he wont be bothering with old foot Bounty Killa and by the next day he dropped Duppy Killa. These entertainers are liers ...or is it that they are exempted from certain ethics.
I Agree with this...esp with kartel stating in an interview that he wasnt interested in any lyrical clash with bounty killer and still counteracting bounty's songs. As twin of twins said, "IF U STUDY KARTEL U NEVER GRADUATE". but i think that he jokingly replying to bounty because none of the songs he made so far are as catchy/memorable as those he made for the barba...i mean mavado...but regardless A GAZA ME SEH!!!
