Clashes at the Settlment Dancehall Show

The recent show that was staged at Links in St. Thomas over the weekend..put on by an undertaker called Tommy Thompson ..was actually burying dancehall according to some, as far as watered down and authentic of the clashes are concerned.
There were several clashes at the event that simply was befitting for a undertaker to finish the up the remains of the night.... there was a clash between Mr G aka Goofy and the graffiti artiste called LA Lewis.. and there was the Merciless vs Gabriel as well as Lisa Hyper vs Queen Paula ... all took place with a winner in each case based on the little crowd and their reactions. But for the real dancehall clash loving fans this was a formula for destruction of the business. But I do wonder because as far a clashes are concerned they contribute little or no benefit to dancehall in terms of progress of the genre..clashes have been going on for a very time with a few being friendly clashes and have several positive spin-off that can do anything for the music general the rest are non-friendly clashes the benefits here is the sound clash dublate frenzy. The clash usually turns out disappointing for some... and is generally unproductive in fact it may leave loosing artiste in the wilderness which is the objective at times, to end the career of one artiste... In a very few cases it can raise your stakes as with Kiprich he was asking for millions for a clash with Merciless... that didnt materialise. Ever since Kiprich finished General B and the monster empire his stocks had grown a bit... hasnt it?.. The undertaker said it wasn't worth it so he found Gabriel who stood his ground and perhaps got some creds and ratings for what he did to Merciless. Im not sure if Mr G will now be as popular as he was when he was Goofy ... the clashing of a 'nobody' i.e. LA Lewis should not count .. but it was personal, he had to, and he got paid for a couple of shows because of this...
Queen Paula took over from Face who was not satisfied with the lack of a formidable arrangement, so Paula benefited.
So ok there are benefits (more shows, dubplates etc) for the artiste where he/she wins in a credible clash.... but im not sure how far (eg as far as a Baby Cham level) it can go but surely is one of the platforms to the next level if he or she is not there yet. If you take a closer look at the clashes at this event (and you dont really have to because its obvious)... you could say dancehall loose.. for sure
