The
Editor, This is a response to an article written by Esther Tyson and supported by the rest of the social hypocrites who claim Rampin' Shop is musical poison. Ms Tyson, the "devastating impact on the psyche of Jamaican children" is not caused by 'daggerin' songs but rather by socio-economic conditions which leave children without free education, single-parent homes, (or shacks), the lack of social infrastructure in ghetto communities, unemployed and disenfranchised young men with no basic skills who are caught up in the 'gun culture' cultivated by our politicians in the 1960s-'70s, all faults of the governments (PNP and JLP). Scribes and Pharisees When Vybz Kartel did Money Fi Spen' (the intro being 'We nah run dung gun/We nah run dung war), it went to number one on the charts. No accolades were given. When I did Emergency, no accolades were given; but when the same audience that embraced all those 'reality' songs embraced Rampin shop' for what it is - music - it's a problem to you and yours, the Scribes and Pharisees of our time. What have any of you done to enrich the culture and the coffers of Jamaican music, especially dancehall music, that makes you think you have the right to criticise and chastise a (sub)culture about which you clearly know nothing? Rampin' Shop is just as easily accessible to the public as are porn sites on theinternet via laptop or phone; as accessible as 'R'-rated movies or carnival revellers 'daggerin' uptown in broad daytime on our local and cable television stations. Why is the song so big? Incidentally, has anyone ever wondered why this song is so big? It's because everybody loves it, and that's the whole bottom and top line. contrary to what is said, there are a lot of self-righteous, undercover Jekyll and Hyde characters around. |
Ms Tyson, the "decent, well-thinking citizens of Jamaica" as you put it, love Rampin' Shop; only a few hypocrites are against it, at least publicly . I encourage you to use your obviously lengthy spare time to write about things that actually affect the nation like, I dunno, probably a light-bulb scandal, etc., and stop making much ado about nothing. I am, etc., ADIDJA 'Vybz Kartel' PALMER vybzkartel Vybz Kartel has confirmed sending this letter to The Gleaner. Too much of this social grand standing going on in Jamaica. People have sex get married have children not always in that order. The one thing we all have in common is that people like to talk, if you do not want to hear do not listen god bless. |

 The Amnesia nightclub was the venue of an adrenaline-charged, alcohol-soaked Vybz Rum Party on Saturday night that ended with deejay Vybz Kartel, head of the Portmore Empire, being arrested for use of indecent language after cursing repeatedly during his performance. The party was sponsored by Vybz
Rum. There were performances from other members of the Portmore
Empire like Deva Brat,Doza Medicine, Blak Ryno, Sean Storm and of
course, the CP Inc.

Toronto People Don’t Worry Your Self Only
the most popular dance hall artist Known to the world as Mavado or
more recently “The Gully God”, the singer behind the eerie wails of
“Anywayyy!” and “Gangsta for life!” which have dominated the
airwaves was born David Constantine Brooks on November 30, 1981 in
the micro-ghetto community “Cassava Piece” within Kingston, Jamaica.
Before getting his break in the music business, Brooks worked as a
barber and his two main influences on the direction of his young
life were his grandmother and the music of Bounty Killer. “To tell
the truth” he explains, “it was me grandmother that first really
bring me in the studio, ‘cause she bring me in the church to sing.
She always tell me to sing for her and that really give Mavado the
courage to get to love music.” But if the sweet sounds of gospel
provided the motivation, it was the gruff voice of Bounty Killer
that proved to be the more powerful influence. “As a youth, Sanchez
and Wayne Wonder were really my two singers, Sanchez have the voice
of an angel. But me and my friend always say ‘Yo, Killer is the
wickedest!’ So long as it’s Killer, it’s just my song, trust me!”
