Kartel & Mavado

This year Dancehall has spread all over the world. Jamaican born artists like Vybz Kartel and Mavado started off the year with Sting 2008. A concert to determine who is better. The concert was considered a draw,Mavado's camp(The Alliance) says Mavado won because Vybz Kartel recieved consecutive boos from the fans.Kartel's camp(Gaza Empire) believes he won simply because of the Mavado left the stage before Kartel was able to finish. The confrontation that happen in Jamaica between the Kartel and Mavado results was felt all over the world. I feel the winner of sting was none of the artist. Both Mavado and Kartel did there thing and they made sting a good show, showing off all there lyrical talent.

I believe that Mavado and Vybz Kartel have two different styles of producing dancehall music. Mavado in my opinion is one of the top dancehall artist in the dancehall game right now.Mavado is an artist who usually has a catchy hook in his songs. Mavado represents a newer meaning of dancehall were he sings about up lifting people from poverty. Mavado's biggest hit this year on the bill boards was "I' Am So Special".


Were Vybz Kartel is more of a lyrical assassin were he kills his opponnets with his creative lyrics and sayings.
