SOON COME.

So this blog has been completely stagnant for over a year. A lot of things in dancehall have happened since I left this blog in disappointment with Sting '09 and the ways things have been going in dancehall in general.


Since this blog has been down Vybz Kartel has taken the role of fulltime dancehall vampire. While his music has arguably gotten worse his hype has gotten bigger with each antic he pulls (ie; releasing x-rated pics of himself, beating up ex gaza members, wearing a 'fag is so cool' shirt to a show), the latest being his admitting to bleaching his skin.




The people have been speaking their peace and so have many members of the dancehall fraternity. I will leave you with some youtubes of recent tracks backlashing against Vybz Kartel and his blatant fuckery.

KIPRICH - CAAH GET BROWN (CAKE SOAP)


MR VEGAS - BLACK & PROUD


AIDONIA - NUH PAR WID


AGENT SASCO - RUN DI PLACE


BOUNTY KILLER - NO BLEACH TO MI FACE


#KABOOM

CROSS!!!!

PEEEEEOPLE DEAD!!! Bounty Killer at them again. Apparently Bounty was not done with Vybz Kartel and still has a bone to pick with Beenie Man. On the well produced "Gaza Fag N Drag" the Warlord airs out his grievances with the Gaza crew in vintage Bounty Killer fashion. I'm going to go ahead and say the last diss track that Rodney Price has delivered that made me feel this way is "Likkle Dread Boy" earlier in the decade (Engine Riddim). This track is HAAAAARD!! 2009 Bounty Killer just solidified his spot as one of the greatest again. He's not finished yet. get it.

Elephant Man, Shaggy, Red Rat & Bounty Killer @ BB Kings (Massive B)

More Labor Day Weekend fun. This clip is LIVE!! Elephant Man, Shaggy, Red Rat & Bounty Killer go back and forth doing old tunes and mash up the place. If you see how the place erupt when Bounty Killer touch the stage you will see why I had to make a banner change. Bounty Killer is holding dancehall down right now. Not only is he grooming numerous current dancehall legends in the making he continues to show the world that he is most definitely a force to be wreckoned with on stage. Anyway, I'm done talking watch the clip!

More Bounty @ Best of Both Worlds '09

Better sound and it's almost his whole set. VIBES!!! Big up Reggaetopsite.com


PART I


PART II

Bounty Killer @ Best of Both Worlds (Roseland Ballroom 09.05.09)

On Saturday night I had the pleasure of being in the Roseland Ballroom to witness Bounty Killer live for the first time in my life. Beenie Man also performed that night as the headliner and birthday boy. His performance left much to be desired for me. Wasn't as good as the the first time I saw him perform almost 10 years ago @ Howard University. The star of the night for me was definitely Bounty Killer. His half hour was chock full of hits. He kept the talking to a minimum but when he did speak it didn't fall on deaf ears (nor was his speech met by any boos to my pleasant surprise). The crowd listen captivated as he went in on his new archnemesis, his son in the business, Vybz Kartel and the trends he is spreading in Dancehall. From Kartel's tight pants to his bleaching and calling himself the devil, Bounty Killer warned the people to be careful which trends they follow. Then he went into Chattabox one of the 5 songs he's released in the last 3 weeks aimed at Kartel. Check the video:



The audio isn't that great but from the video you can see Bounty Killer's focus. I wish there was more of the show available online. After he got through dissing Kartel he let the people know that Dancehall is not without morals and anyone who styles themself as the Poor People's Governor must make social commentary and can't only make music about fun and partying. He spoke about books being taxed in Jamaica and that things of that nature are sending poor people into a deeper depression. He then went into a song using crowd participation call (i'm assuming lol) "What Dem Expect We Fi Do" and then into his hit "Book, Book, Book". All in all his set was
captivating and energetic. I will not be present @ Sting unfortunately but after seeing this performance I can't wait to see (via Youtube.com obviously lol) how Sting '09 shapes up. Will he walk out on Kartel? Will Hellboy run?? We'll see. Until then I will revel in my getting to see the Warlord live on stage for FREE! It was
quite the experience.

PEOPLE DEAD!!!

Check this footage of Bounty Killer live August 31st @ Blitz Club in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, performing "Bullet Proof Skin" and his Kartel diss "Chattabox". When I say I don't think Vybz Kartel stands a chance lol man just watch the video.

Vybz Kartel - Duppy Killa

I'm only posting this 'cause I'm documenting this War between Bounty Killer & Kartel but this shit? Kartel's delivery is so fucking weak and corny. He's had two chances already. I've given up all hope that he'll reply with something worthy. Now I'm just waiting to see Boutny done him at Sting in December. You judge for yourself:

Bounty Killer Best of 2009

That's the latest mixdown of Bounty Killer's last swipe @ Vybz Kartel called "Wata Tune" which was an answer to Kartel's counteraction "Toilet Paper (Bownty's Killer)". Everyone has been waiting for Vybz Kartel to come back with a diss but he went a step further and told a Jamaican publication that he wasn't going to clash Bounty on stage or on record, stating that Bounty Killer was old and washed up and didn't deserve his attention.
Jamaica's greatest dancehall battlefield is Sting which comes around December 26. There are much talks about who will take who.



Many say this is just as strategy by Kartel and it very well could be but I personally don't think he stands a chance against Bounty Killer in a clash any day but I'm still interested to see what he has up his sleeve. If he continues singing like he did on "Bownty's Killer" he lost already imo. Anyway since the start of the year it seems Bounty Killer has been attempting to show the dancehall world that not only does his Alliance (which includes Mavado, Serani, Elephant Man, Busy Signal, and among others) hold weight in the dancehall community but that he too holds much weight and won't be going anywhere anytime soon. To commemorate that and my going to see him and Beenie Man perform in NYC this weekend I am linking up this Best of Bounty Killer compilation that I got from Dancehallreggae.com (big up realpatriot) It's a collection of all of Bounty Killer's singles for the year. A solid comp of
tunes, including all of his Kartel Disses. get it.

Vybz Kartel Answers Back The Warlord & Fails!

Not even worthy of an MP3 link but please take a pre and laugh with me at this clown. He could have done much better than thise. I've heard songs from him that are more hard hitting. You can't go up against Bounty Killer with this bullshit. I'm sorry.

Toilet Paper Bounty

Mad Dog & Vybz Kartel - Outta Mi Spinnas; Bounty Killer - Ungrateful Hellboy (Kartel DIss)

I said I wouldn't post no Empire shit unless it was good. This might be my favorite song as of right now!! And for me Mad Dogg steals the show. Vybz comes with his usualnice lyrics but his delivery doesn't stand up to Mad Dogg's in my opinion. I don't carewhat anybody says. The track is called Outta Mi Spinnas.

get it.


I'm still waiting for Kartel to answer Bounty Killer back. As a matter of fact I might as well combine entries. Seems Bounty Killer is really vexed.
Yesterday I posted his joint Chattabox. Today he has released the track Ungrateful Hellboy


get it.

Assailant - Crazy (Empire Diss)

Brutal Conflict riddim. Not even going to front. I am biased towards the Alliance (Bounty Killer and his team which includes Mavado, Busy Signal, Serani & Assailant among others) but that's strictly because they make better music than Kartel and his Portmore Empire (Also referred to as the Gaza Strip or Gaza) Kartel is their only hope and he's basically just carrying a bunch of talentless people around with him. It's cool to help people but gosh. Anyway for that reason alone you probably won't hear too much Portmore Empire music on this site unless it's REALLY GOOD.



All that being said I don't even see how this is an Empire diss but that's what it's labeled as lol. Whatever the track is dope. Dude's delivery is tough on this.

get it.
