MTV Wrap Up: Wayne Marhsall interview part again



You read the title correctly, part again. We don't test two what about you?

Anyway, may have read the first part. May not have read the first part, I don't know. You may not even read this part, but I'm posting it anyway. (First part)

Part 1, we spoke about how he managed to get Estelle on the remix for his single, why he chose the controversial Island pop sound for his single and his idol Bounty Killer. Pretty much a formal interview.

In part again, I go a bit more dancehall. I did ask about his appearance with Sean Kingston & Nicki Minaj 'Dutty Love' + whether him and Drake are going to collaborate. Oh and about Toddla T's single 'Sky Surfing'. But yeah, more dancehall-oriented; Wayne Marshall and I spoke about his beef with former friend and collaborator Vybz Kartel, both why he never responded to blatant disses and whether they'll work together in the future now that they've made up.

If you didn't know, Wayne Marshall was the big singjay in the scene before Mavado came along. That isn't me saying Mavado stole his thunder so don't try it, I'm just putting his career into something you can understand if you don't know. Anyway, from 2005-2008 he went quiet so I asked about that, as well as his marriage to former Akon protege Tami Chynn. Remember the stunner Akon brought to 1Xtra Live? Yeah her. And ended on whether dancehall has changed for better or worse in the time since he burst onto the scene in '01

I much prefer this half of it. In my head, part 1 was more commercial-friendly.

White band win Reggae Grammy x Koffee x Skillibeng

So a white American reggae band called Soja won the Best Reggae album award at the Grammy's? And you care because? You feel Jamaicans are losing reggae because the Grammy's (a white institution) gave their white American man award to a white American reggae band? You blame the Jamaican government for not showing enough love and support to the music because this is the result? But you don't realise you are giving the Grammy's that much power and don't see where the problem lies? Well let me tell you; the problem is within you. I understand the outrage. Jamaicans built the music and are rarely compensated for all the hard graft. There have been countless examples of the music being used by someone else, often to better results because we live in an ignorant and racist Western world. Historically, white reggae artists like The Police or UB40 are able to achieve better results in the white man's world than reggae artists that are far superior to them. Bruno Mars , J...
