Divagirl 1 big up yuh self . I don’t have a problem with American artist . Too Chain should not be on Sting he is not good . They have way more better American artistes .
They need to cut out the profanity at sting like who sex who uncall for and who is a mule unnecessary .Bounty or Elephant should be on sting instead of Two Chain .
Exactly NYC One! If you going to bring an artiste from the US then bring someone who can uplift rather than chat foolishness…
if they had vybz it would of been way better
How wld it be better wit vybz Cartel ? U mussi mean di opposite ..it wld b worst ofcourse ..nobady nuh mis him ;all he condone is warrrrrr !!!!!
how did he condone war wen all the djs were dissin him and he wasnt even about that . the man stopped makin gun chune and more gal cunes.bounty killer is the who is condoning war in dancehall hes the the one of latelyy has problems with everybody .
Youngjason u tlking pure rubbish !! Listen carefully to all a vybz cartel songs dem n u tell me which one of dem sey peace !! U ear wah clean out wit tooth pick … Vybz cartel is one of most violent entertainer in di music industry right now ..happy new year to u …!

super cat a real Dan dadda ….big up yo self veteran cause a full time teach d youth dem fi mash up dance n nah fi rate no form a devil…..straight!!!
Typical yank always something to complain about…why is Wyclef performing at Sting?
I don’t have a problem with Wyclef . Two chain raps garbage . Who pick this idiot . It’s better they had 50 cents , Mobb Deep , French Montana or Drake .
I suppose if it’s a choice between Wyclef and this fool 2Chains then it would have to be Wyclef though I am not really a fan of his. I thought the whole premis of Sting was old and new reggae and dancehall artistes coming together…why do we have to have US artistes on the bill don’t we have enough of them for the Jazz and Blues Festival?
international Artists have always been apart of Sting for years now, just like when you have big shows like Summer Jam in NYC they have a guest dancehall artist or two… if the Americans were saying the same thing you’re saying then it it a case of them a fight we out and the badmind etc…
Point taken Weedrass. It’s not a case of fighting it out and being bad mind it would just be nice that we didn’t have US artistes always headlining what is essentially a reggae/dancehall event.
nah.. don’t get me wrong not saying you’re badmind just pointing that many would say that if the tables were turned…and trust i live in NYC and when i hear sting being talked about on the radio aint nobody talking about wyclef and 2chains as headliners… they’re just guest artistes and based on when the performed you can see the organizers treated them as such… the most talked about artists were Super Cat and Lady Saw…
Yeah I see what you mean….
Just reading the updates…did D’Angel seriously think that Ninja Man would clash with her? She hasn’t got the lyrical catalogue to come up against him…
Diva; international artist is a muss !!memba our artist hav to go overseas n perform too ;so they need di support bk .dis has being going on for decades ..it cant stp ,its a part of di show …
A tru but bring somebody betta that 2Chain or whatever him name caasin him neva good at all sah!
Glad u get mi point Deva !! Happy newyear to u n ur entire family ..wshing u all di best for 2014…
And wishing the same blessings to you and yours for 2014
