With his new “Of Dons & Divas” album slated to be released on June 26th 2020,
Vybz Kartel speaks candidly about his profound impact on the Dancehall Industry.
“NO ONE HAS HAD AN IMPACT ON DANCEHALL LOCALLY OR WORLDWIDE
IN THE LAST 20YRS LIKE ME”
“IN THE LAST 20 YEARS NO ONE HAS HAD AN IMPACT ON DANCEHALL AS VYBZKARTEL. I ENTERED THE GAMES OFFICIALLY AS BEST NEW ARTISTE 2002 (by the then jfm) AND THREE YEARS LATER WON DEEJAY OF THE YEAR; A TITLE THAT I DIDN’T LOSE UNTIL BADMIND STOP THE AWARDS.
MY NUMEROUS STYLES OF MUSIC AND TOPICS THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY CONSIDERED TABOO..LIKE ORAL SEX, GOGO DANCERS..ETC…. MY BUSINESS SAVVY , MY REALITY SHOW, THE FACT THAT I AFFECTED THE CULTURE IN SUCH A WAY THAT EVEN THE OLD DESERT CLARKS BOOT MADE A RENNAISANCE VIA MY MARKETING POWER.
ROSARY SOLD OUT IN JAMAICA THAT EVEN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH HAS TO WRITE AN ARTICLE IN THE SUNDAY GLEANER’S MAGAZINE SECTION, POINTING OUT TO ME THAT IT’S NOT “ROSARY CHAIN” …JUST ROSARY AND DON’T EVEN TALK ABOUT IMAGE, FROM JERSEY AND DRAG TO TATTOOS AND EXTENTIONS.
BEFORE KARTEL HOW DID DANCEHALL ARTISTES LOOK COMPARE TO VYBZ KARTEL? BRO, NO ONE HAS BROUGHT THE LEVEL OF EXCITEMENT TO THE GENRE LIKE I DID. FROM THE SPANISH COUNTRIES ALL THE WAY TO MOTHER AFRICA ITS “WORLBOSS WORLBOSS” .
IF BABLYON DIDN’T ENVY MY GREATNESS I WOULD HAVE BEEN HAD MULTI PLATINUM RECORD SALES AND NUMEROUS GRAMMY’S BUT EVEN SO, STILL SELLING GOLD FROM BEHIND BARS, STILL REMAINING THE APLHA DJ THE KING...
WORLDBOSS PHARAOHIMMORTAL KARTEL TEACHA CHANCELLOR A ME DAT.. EVEN ALOT OF THE NEW GENERATION OF ARTISTES, HAVE SOMETHING ABOUT VYBZ KARTEL IN THEIR PERSONA, LYRICS STYLE FLOW OR IMAGE….A ME A NAME GAZA. OH PLUS I GAVE THE WORLD POPCAAN. #DANCEHALLCYAASTALL #OFDONSANDDIVAS ”
