A nuh me seh it a di Observer....and I guess by now the whole of Jamaica
Dancehall artiste - Bounty Killer
2009 was a great year for many dancehall acts, but when veteran Deejay Rodney Pryce, also known as Bounty Killer, called himself 'plaza' on Sting in reference to being the creator of both the Gully and the Gaza, he closed off what was arguably the worst year in his career. With no definite hits, and misguided aims at his musical son and former protégé Adijah 'Vybz Kartel' Palmer, 'Plaza', as he prefers to be called, failed in his bid to revive a once illustrious and well decorated career. This failure prompted Vybz Kartel to ask for him to retire to Heineken Startime. The high-point of his year came during his performance on Reggae Sumfest where he reminded the audience of a true dancehall icon. But instead of using this as motivation he focused all his strength and time in a much anticipated clash with Kartel that failed to materialise. If 2009 was not bad enough, Bounty made sure that 2010 will be when he used expletives in his anti-gay tirade at the Shaggy and Friends Concert in front of hundreds of Jamaican dignitaries and the international media. This not only spelt bad for the Alliance, but also his fellow dancehall counterparts and a very disappointed Orville 'Shaggy' Burrell. Bounty Killer owes the downward spiraling of his career to his now played out anti-gay lyrics and failed attempts to destroy the career of Vybz Kartel.
i think we should all look on the bright side like the good things bounty killer has done for dancehall and ghetto ppl instead of acting like he has done nothing...dont listen gaza fans dem is wah day dem start listen dancehall they enjoying the fruits of bounty killer's labour and then disrespect di man like a nuh baddy...what happen to unu conscience???

U CAN TELL SEH CLAUDE MILLS IS A FISH..............HOW ANTI-GAY SUPPOSE TO PLAYED OUT, SUBLIMINAL MESSGAES I SEE
i dont think that is the point.
a selector that gets booked for a 'classy' wedding is not going there to play 'daggering' songs. you have to know your audience and how to perform for them.
DANCEHALL MEK UP OFFA GYAL TUNE, GUN TUNE, ANTI- GAY LYRICS AND THE CONSCIOUS SIDE..........THATS THE FOUR CORNERSTONES OF THE GENRE....SO I DONT THINK A SELECTOR WUD BE PLAYING DANCEHALL AT A WEDDING
ALL I SEE THATS HAPPENING IS THAT WHENEVER BOUNTY KILLER OR EVEN KARTEL SAY SOMETHING, EVERYBODY QUICK FI JUDGE THEM, NOBODY NAAH TALK BOUT THE ELE's,ASSASIN's, CHINO OR DEM MAN DEH
JUST LIKE WHEN ME MEK A COMMENT PON A POST, EVERYBODY QUICK FI QUOTE ME AND THERE'S 20 OTHER PPL WHO SAY THE SAME THING I SAID, I WONDER WHY
mi cyaa stop lafff...look from when mi seh bounty need a reality check...he needs to low the arms house and focus on HIS career.... his reputation as being cross and illiterate has come to fruition and is now working to his detriment
is not about if a gaza post it, ah gaza write it? killa go lou when come pan shaggy show in front a big people n a gwan like him nah no sense. people who don't even like dance hall come fi di cause, n what killa come pan stage n do??
mi agree to a point, though a few mis- guided attempts at amping up the clash between him and the Teecha, Bounty had a good year, just need to pick where and when to go in hard core dancehall and like him seh couple years back, when fi duh a generic and commercial performance. Still one a di best a road.
