Marvin Sparks speaks to Vybz Kartel fans special

Well, if you've been following either myslef or Kartel on Twitter you would have seen the tweet (copied from Kartel's twitter) @iamthekartel: "#AWOAH RT @MarvinSparks @iamthekartel bless up king. People talking about your interview already. Wait til the rest drops. Oh!" [source]

Tweet was after I read discussions about our interview on various dancehall forums.

This is the rest... Hear him speak on:
  • Why he hasn't fired a diss back in response to Aidonia's diss records (Nuh Par Wid and Nuh Tek Chat) and why there's a problem between them
  • What he thinks of Busy Signal and whether they'll ever work together
  • If we'll hear Vybz Kartel work with producer Stephen "Di Genius" McGregor (build the riddims for Come Breed Me, Bicycle/Mr Officer and many more) and what their problem is
  • Does he have any hate for Bounty Killer
  • His only regret as a dancehall artist
  • Plans to exploit controversy of cake soap and why he uses it
And some other stuff. This is the 3rd installment. The previous 2 were on MTV.co.uk/TheWrapUp (part 1 & part 2). No talk on Beenie Man because this was before, plus the Beenie Man stuff has been covered by dancehall people bigger than me. Think that's pretty much sorted. But what he says about Dancehall Hero in the interview kinda sums that up too prior to it happening.

Sadly, he won't be performing at Sting tonight (wasn't booked). But anyway, for your listening pleasure (click here for all my other interviews)

@MarvinSparks: Vybz Kartel on wars and business ventures by MiNameMarvinSparks

Also, Tads Records, who released Pon Di Gaza 2.0, just released a new EP of Kartel's biggest hits of 2010. It's called

Clarks: De Mixtape Raw , it was released on December 10th, and it's available on itunes now:

http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/clarks-feat-pop-caan-gaza/id409145164

Disclaimer: I asked these questions as a fan for the fans. We all want to hear Kartel on Stephen riddims, Aidonia is probably the only lyricist that will manage Kartel in a clash, and people due to my most recent interview with Busy Signal a lot of people speculated that he has a big problem with Kartel so I tried to mediate. So don't shoot the messenger lol. Bless

Oh yeah, check out my mate Loukia interivew my other mates, Heatwave (@GabrielHeatwave, @DanBean & @BenjaminDMusic) here

Wu-Tang's in-house "Chef" better known as Raekwon proved he is still a force to be mentioned alongside the hottest rappers in the hip hop game with the release of Only Built For Cuban Linx... pt. II - sequel to his 1995 debut album. Marvin Sparks caught up with the hip hop legend to discuss rapping for drug dealers, people caring "more about stats than raps", his inclusion in MTV's Top 10 Hottest Rappers list, and converting to Islam. Marvin Sparks: It has been almost fifteen years since the first Only Built For Cuban Linx, an album that was a 5-mic classic when The Source magazine held weight. Why did you decide make a sequel?

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...
