War of words! Pure 'passa passa' at Summer Jam

DEEJAYS Bounty Killer and Beenie Man lyrically bashed each other at Summer Jam held at the Ken Wright Pier in Portland on Saturday night.

Bounty, the first of the two performers on stage, came clad in full black. He chastised Beenie Man and labelled him as 'bad minded'.

The Warlord said Beenie Man had made comments that he wanted to put a bomb under his Land Cruiser, which is said to be valued at six million dollars.

The Doctor accompanied by an entourage which included bodyguards, later came on stage to close the event. Decked in full red, The Doctor returned his own 'lyrical venom'. He stated that Bounty Killer can never walk in his shoes.

He said he only recently won the Reggae Grammy award so there was no reason why he should be envious of Bounty. On the other hand, he said Bounty has never been nominated.

The Doctor even decided to compare their financial status. He said Bounty was indeed wealthy but no where near him. The crowd enjoyed the 'passa passa' which had started earlier when Mad Cobra made special mention of 'Lexus' eating habits'.

The show overall was well organised with splendid performances coming from not only the two major acts but almost every performer on the show.

The Monster Shack crew was their usual selves. Roundhead had his weed campaign in full effect, General B delivered the energy and Ghost thrilled the ladies.

Rising superstars Wayne Marshall and Assasin gave solid performances while Elephant Man was his usual energetic self.

The man of the moment, Bling Dawg, came on stage in his hometown and blazed an early morning fire alongside Frisco Kid and Wayne Wonder, who also shared the stage.

The show seemed as if it would have been stolen by the singers in the early parts of the morning. The singers; Singing Melody, Singer J, Tony Curtis and Ghost all had the ladies screaming at the top of their lungs. Devonte and Tanto Metro came to the stage and delivered hit after hit.

Good solid juggling was provided by Renaissance, Tony Matterhorn, Stone Love and Fire Links, which helped to set the trend for the rest of the evening.

Lighters flickered, torches blazed, shots rang out and the patrons bounced all night into 6:30 Sunday morning. The show was well organized and the artistes all came and delivered professionally.
