I was relaxing on the beach (not the sea that Mavado and his friends are so fond of) with my wife and two kids when one of my friends called me yesterday to ask if I had received an email from Foo-lian Griffiths-Jones where he attempted to smear me as a 'for-hire hack'.
I don't know who introduced that 'hack' word into Foo-lian's vocab, but I have been called worse by better people. I am also amused that he felt compelled to reveal a private conversation that we had at Reggae Sumfest to the world, but it is in his 'informer' nature to do such a low thing. What makes the whole thing even more laughable is that I never meant a word I said, I was being utterly insincere. Why would I set my lofty ambitions aside to be a lackey, a boot-kissing sycophant with the IQ of a bucket of warm hamster vomit? I have more talent in my toenail than Foo-lian could ever dream of possessing in his dumb little life. He is a silly little person, and not just silly...silly beyond any previously held conception of silly.
I remember going up to Oaklands to interview Bounty Killer once for the STAR newspaper and I distinctly recall the Warlord sending Foo-lian to a nearby shop to get a Swizzle and a pack of Craven As. Now here he is, suddenly a bigshot, talking about 'Mills is cutting his teeth' on Kartel's career and the "sooner I am no longer involved in Kartel's career, the better". Foo-lian, easy with the bowcat metaphors, we don't 'cut our teeth' on anything around here, ah so Yardie stay. Plus, I don't have to be involved in Kartel's career, I choose to be involved, and when I am no longer so involved, I will still remain his brother, and his friend. I am almost certain that Bounty Killer wouldn't even offer Foo-lian a glass of water if his hair was on fire.
Ask anyone in the industry, Foo-lian is more full of shit than a whale without an ass. Busy's career skyrocketed after dropping him 18 months ago. During the time that you have been piloting Run-ado's career, he has been banned/blacklisted by several countries including Guyana, St. Vincent, and Bahamas, and deported from the USA like a common criminal. The last time I saw Foo-lian was in Bahamas when he was being sent packing to Jamaica, running around in the airport like a headless chicken, his facial muscles cramping from trying to remain calm. For a minute there, I thought he was going to have a massive brain aneurysm till he finally calmed down. Poor thing. You talk about Kartel's problems, but Mavado's constant troubles can't be too great for your health.
You are right that Kartel does not have a record deal. He owns his own record company, Adidjaheim Records. Kartel has a business manager Corey Todd with whom he has developed two products Vybz Rum and Daggering Condoms which are all the rage in the marketplace. Kartel manages his own career as well as all members of the Portmore Empire, including one of the hottest artistes for 2009, Blak Ryno. Foo-lian keeps boasting about Run-ado's Am So Special (admittedly my daughter's favourite song) being on the Billboard Hip Hop/R & B charts at whatever, MOBO awards, Jay Z and ya-di-ya-di-ya. Erup's Click My Finger is actually more successful than any dancehall single this year as it popped up on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, the really important chart. Run-ado's album flopped for VP, struggling to sell over 10,000 copies. Kartel is one of the greatest lyricists and deejays to emerge out of dancehall. He is dancehall's Picasso who was really better than everyone else. Put that in your crack pipe and smoke it.
Why try to fabricate lies that Kartel spent a million to pack the venue with his supporters? Anyone who knows Addi know that is a bald-faced lie. Why not let the people know that Run-ado spent several hundred thousand dollars to load up several coaster buses in Waterhouse, and Cassava Piece and issued free tickets to his supporters to take them to Jamworld in Portmore?
Foo-lian, you do what you have to do, and I will do what I have to do, which is live and die like a man. Can you do the same?
