Vybz Kartel...the "coloured version"

Vybz Kartel was in verbal discourse with professor Carolyn Cooper over some article she wrote about his new song with Russian.. called "Look Pon We"... apparently there were some lines in the song that irked Ms. Cooper who expressed her views in her regular Sunday gleaner column...
Vybz Kartel took it upon himself the respond to the learned professor Cooper about the meaning of the phrases in his song... and in so doing she invited Vybz kartel to lecture at UWI this Thursday.... Now its a real intellectual ghetto...
You can read extensively about the gleaner article here...and see comments made by readers ..with tones such as one made by Mass Rupert and i quote "this filth that has invaded our country in the types like Kartel, et al, stands to destroy our country totally. This Vybz Kartelism is nothing short of raping the culture impregnating it with violence, mayhem, and barbarism"... ROFL Kartelism ...

Dubtonic Kru ..keeps the music alive

In the past recent months there is hardly any good news for the reggae and danchall industry.. sting 2011 was mediocre, Buju Bantons case over shadowed the Jamaican music industry and not to mention the numerous crazy happenings including the death of Oneil of voicemail and Richie Stevens proteje Copper Cat.
The good news for this week was that Dubtonik Kru representing Jamaica won in the Global Battle of the Bands competition
The 15 year old band won the competition over the weekend in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia beating 16 other bands from around the world. Dubtonic won a world tour, the title Best "New" World Band and a deal worth US$100,000. The Kru was upbeat about their win and shed light on the greatness of Jamaican music culture and the fact that Jamaican music did not die with the great Bob Marley..

The Portmore Empire producer Notnice who has helped to propel Vybz Kartel and his 'Gaza Family'..is said to have broken ties with the crew. Reports are that there is rift between Vybz Kartel and NotNice since mid-February which as lead to sudio equipment being removed from NotNice's home. Both parties are said to be tight lipped about the matter.. but from past experiences except with the case with Russian from Head Concussion, thus far.. almost all the rumours have turned out to be true.
Vybz kartel have a history of breaking ties and burning bridges. He has been a looose cannon where musical ties are concerned and it seems whoever is working with him toaday can rest assure that things will break down at some point in the near furture...
