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)

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:

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

Marvin Sparks x Raekwon interview

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?

Why Cheetah Woods, whhyyyy?!?!?!

We must all know about the predator nyamin woman (no bowcat reference intended - or am I lying? *shudders*). Anyone heard the voicemail he left for the girl he's been PARrin (there was a golf reference there) his wife with? Easy now my selekta as we rinse some tunes for di one name Tiger. Man like him doesn't know how to play. (By The Endz not Ruff Sqwad) How you gonna leave a voicemail for a girl with your real name at the beginning? Do you want to be held to ransom? Man from 'the ends' know (in the words of Kano) "That's slippin'!" And when isht hits the fan (like it has) he's buggered. Not something I deal in but surely the point of cheating is for an assortment of ladies. All his ones look the same; blonde, no breast nor batty. Rachel Uchitel bawlin at the scene of 9/11 where her man (fiancee/boyfriend/husband) died The chick whose sold his voicemail on and can be heard above The wifey (why cheat on her with the ones above I'll never kno

Remember When Riddims Were King

Before you read, thank you for your interest and hope you enjoy. I actually fleshed it out into a book. You can get your copy from www.nolongstories.com   Now for what you came here for... When Riddims Were King 23rd May 2020 will be remembered in history for one of the most epic events in one of our universe's darkest times. We will never forget the night dancehall kings and former extremely heated rivals, Beenie Man and Bounty Killer, battled on the Verzuz platform built by hall-of-fame producers, Timbaland and Swizz Beatz. An unfiltered, 360-degree view on Jamaican dancehall events was showcased; DJ’s and dancing (Beenie Man’s daughter Desha Ravers) to deejay’s clashing on the same riddims. The latter elements provided the jewels in the night’s highlight reel, and undoubtedly the best thing to happen on the Verzuz series. Word spread like guava jelly within the dancehall community and Jamaican diaspora upon announcement. Not only was it a clash between the longest and fier
