Alliance Attempts Sabotage of Vybz Kartel & Beenie Careers?
One876Entertainment reports on "rumours" in the dancehall community that dancehall selecta's are refusing to run Beenie and Kartel tunes out of loyality to Bounty Killer's "Alliance". The news follows on from female selecta DJ Sunshine's recent skirmish at a Movado gig.
The Irie FM DJ, and co-producer of 2005's Sunblock rhythm, recently played at the Spectrum stage-show at Uni. of West Indies' Student's Union. Upon playing a Beenie Man song she was met with a flying bottle from the crowd.
"I wasn't the one that was getting booed, it was the Beenie Man songs that they were booing an mi seh mi nah play partial. I can't be partial in the business because I'm a radio presenter, so when I come to a show, if a artiste is booked for the show mi nah play out dem tune an' when dem fi perform dem nuh have nutt'n fi sing. I was quite surprised, I didn't know that was going on in town, but I'm not into the politics, I just come to play good music" she is quoted as saying in the Jamaica Star.
Movado, who also performed at the same show, also had bottles thrown at him. The Star also carries quotes from Movado's Road Manager claiming that the bottle-throwing was a pre-arranged attack, going as far as to claim that the bottle-thrower had been paid to do so.
"While heading to Spectrum, wi get a call, an a man a seh him overhear a conversation seh any how Aidonia do the song, dem a guh mek a man fling a bottle an lik him, cause dem have it seh him a dis dem inna di song, but is just speaking the truth... Di artiste dem fi stop pay people fi fling bottle pon a nex artiste."
The hostile reaction is not limited to just Beenie Man records though with dancehall A-list deejay Vybz Kartel being ignored by some selecta's.
“Certain selectors who play at Bembe Thursdays and some round-the-town areas nah play no new Kartel, ah just pure Mavado, the only time dem play a Kartel is when dem know say dem caan go round the song…and ah eediat ting dat."
