The emphatic performances by artistes at West Kingston Jamboree in Tivoli Gardens in Kingston over the weekend were a mere dress rehearsal for the carnage that is set to unfold at Sting 2008 at Jamworld in Portmore on December 26th.
West Kingston Jamboree was a night of beautiful intrigue as personal differences stoked lyrical attacks that bordered on outright slander and 'fighting words' peppered the air like rocket fire on a balmy night in the occupied territories of Palestine.
And even though Vybz Kartel a.k.a Addi the Teacha was missing in action on Sunday night because of a trio of shows in the Caribbean, he still remained the unseen force, the immovable object, an essential lead character in the drama that is set to unfold on Sting night, a reckoning that is just two weeks away.
In his absence, Mavado, Kartel's nemesis and musical rival, held centrestage and used the occasion to launch a lyrical broadside on his former Alliance associate Vybz Kartel.
"Mi anno Ninjaman weh Kartel can kick down pon the stage at Sting. Mi ah bad man, mi anno b----man like dem bleach out face bwoy de," he growled.
However, he was not content to stop there, and then deejayed a song with a punchline that suggested that "Kartel pickney ah Portmore fava Nunupuss", implying that one of Kartel's children was a 'jacket'. The crowd loved it and shouted for more. Mavado unleashed a slew of his hit songs but it appeared that his clash songs got the greater forwards during his performance as the crowd relished the obvious dislike between the warring giants.
The battle lines are clearly set and Vybz Kartel, who returned to the island earlier this week after a three-island tour, is ready for the inevitable battle. Just hearing him talk, it is clear he is ready to place his hands on the axle of destiny, and finally become an icon in the business. The next move is to annihilate the dominant singjay Mavado at the biggest dancehall stage of them all.
"Apparently, the barber heard I was on a three-island tour over the weekend, and took the opportunity – as he did at Champions after he hid and watched me leave Jamworld – to, as they say, 'talk the tings dem' like the true girlie god that he is," Vybz Kartel told one876.
"But all matters of this nature will inevitably have to be confronted on a stage (at Sting) where he will have nowhere to run and as such, will be exterminated as all insects should be."
