MAVADO LET ME SHINE URE HALO

Singjay Mavado is hosting a special back-to-school treat for the children of Kingston 8 this Saturday. The annual treat, now in its fifth year, will be held at Cassava Piece as usual, but is open to children and families from across the Kingston 8 area.Mavado was recently instrumental in forging peace between rival communities in the area and expects the treat to be even better. The treat will be a day-and-night affair, with bounceabouts, clowns, merry-go-rounds, face-painting and other activities for the kids in the daytime, including the giving away of school bags, books and supplies. Sound systems will also blast the community as the event also doubles as a memorial to Mavado's Father, Stanford Brooks, as this month will mark five years since his passing. Mavado added in the release: "Not a day goes by without me thinking of my father. And while I am a little sad he is not here to feel the joy, I am sure he is looking down and smiling to know his son has achieved great things and is giving back to the community. It's also a celebration of the peace we've been working for, so everybody is welcome."

Ohhh...Mr. Brooks I want 2 hold u, u can't help but luv him....Kartel take notes. Girls like a man with a gud heart,real girls...not the chicken heads u feed sausage in ure Gaza fowl coop. Mavado keep doing u thing yute u give me hope for Jamaican artistes n I wud luv to c more of them giving back to their communities n help rebuild the nation.

TYSON GAY RESPONDS 2 BOLT'S STATEMENT

"I don't hate Usain Bolt deep down inside (laughs)," the IAAF website quoted Gay as saying when asked to respond to what Bolt had told reporters in London earlier in the week.
Bolt, who is in London promoting the release of his book, is reported to have told the BBC that Gay "probably just hates my guts" because he (Bolt) has dominated major championships over the past three seasons.
Bolt hadn't lost an individual race in two years until last month, when Gay beat him in Stockholm in a 100- metre race and said, "Deep down I think he probably just hates my guts".
Gay, however, defined his relationship with Bolt as a mutually respectful one.
"Our relationship is cool. I've known him since 2005... 2006, since we've been competing against each other in Jamaica. I've always had a cool relationship with him on the track and off the track. We've never gone to a club together or anything like that, but it's always been a mutual respect on my part. So that's how it's always been for me.I'm pretty happy with the victory. I didn't run as fast as I wanted to run, but at the same time I still had the win. I'm undefeated this season (at 100m) and that's what's most important."

FLIPPA MAFIA GETS HIS PAPERS...HIS WALKING PAPERS THAT IS

DJ Flippa Mafia is reportedly out on bail in the United States.
The artiste, real name Andrew Davis, was arrested earlier this year after he was allegedly caught trying to enter the United States illegally from the Bahamas in March. The DJ was arrested on March 16 and at the time knew he had no current legal immigration status in the U.S.After being arrested, Flippa was being held as a prosecution witness against Julio Santiesteban and Armando Amat, who were charged with encouraging and inducing an alien to enter or reside in the United States. Since then, Flippa has been held in Federal custody, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and more recently was reportedly being held in state custody. According to a number of sources he is out on bail and is currently in Philadelphia, where he resided when he previously lived in the United States. Friends of the DJ also claim they have spoken to him since his release.

Well this shud be interesting as it unfolds, since many ppl are saying Flippa Mafia is now an informer n cannot be trusted. Plz ...Flippa a sing from early 2000 wen him sell out him boss n him bredda. Snitching is his specialty, check out Philly diaries....smh

OBSERVER PLZ 2 HOP OFF RAGA BACK....

We are not about to try to deny that Ragashanti Live, the popular talk show that Dr Kingsley 'Ragashanti' Stewart used to host on NewsTalk 93FM, represented a significant, albeit unenviable, aspect of our culture.
Yes, sadly, there is in our society, a rather unfortunate streak that has manifested itself in a dangerous potpourri of antisocial behaviour.
Said behaviour is at the root of the increasing crime rate that has all but overwhelmed us in recent years.
The murders, the rapes, the instances of carnal abuse, the teenage pregnancies... most if not all have their genesis in what Dr Stewart dubbed 'mix up'.
Why anyone would want to glorify and wallow in this particular phenomenon in the name of culture or anything else is beyond us.
However, as Dr Stewart's ratings proved, many people fell in love with the idea of airing their dirty linen — day in, day out — on the airwaves.
According to the estimate quoted by Dr Stewart in yesterday's edition, the show raked in over $70 million between 2008 and now.
That's nothing to sneeze at within the context of the current global economic crunch. However, it doesn't follow that a radio station, which purports to be representative of the region's premier university, can afford — in the name of money, ratings, cultural democracy or anything else — to hold its nose above what we deem to be undiluted slackness.
As a doctor of anthropology, Dr Stewart understood, perhaps better than most, why many of us behave the way we do.
He therefore could have used that knowledge on the platform which he was so privileged to have occupied to lift the mass of dullards who patronised his offerings from the social abyss which inspired them to glorify the unseemly.
The tambourines which he beat so vigorously in support of the poor women whose vision was eternally blighted by the belief that their most valuable asset lay between their legs as opposed to their ears, could have been used to celebrate so many other uplifting aspects of our culture.

RASTAMAN HIGHGRADE HISTORY

The Rastafari movement was founded in Jamaica. This Back to Africa movement believes that Haile Selassie of Ethiopia was God incarnate, the returned black messiah, come to take the lost Twelve Tribes of Israel back to live with him in Holy Mount Zion in a world of perfect peace, love and harmony. Bob Marley, a convert to the faith, spread the message of Rastafari to the world. There are now estimated to be more than a million Rastafarians throughout the world. Cannabis was most likely introduced to Jamaica by the Bantus and Bushmen of West Africa who referred to it as "Dagga" or "bengue" during the Atlantic slave trade. Originally At the start of a native "smoke-in" session, a certain amount of water was poured into the horn, one would then suck smoke from the horn that was drawn through the water and inhaled quickly a few times and then exhaled. The process continued until the fumes of the dagga produced a kind of intoxication or delirium and the devotee commenced to recite or sing, with great rapidity and vehemence, the praises of himself or his chief during the intervals of coughing or smoking. The practice of smoking marijuana for spiritual purpose was an easy adoptation for the Rastafarians because it was already entrenched in parts of the African culture from the time of slavery. The practice of smoking marijuana throughout Jamaica was popularized as a direct result of the Rastafarians' use of it for medatation purposes. The popularity of the Rastafarian movement out of Jamaica through music helped increase the use of marijuana worldwide as it was promoted as "the weed of wisdom", said to be found on Solomon's grave.

USAIN BEG U EAT PIECE A HUMBLE PIE

Usain Bolt said::..."I think Tyson sits at home and cusses. He just really gets upset because every time he runs fast, I run faster than he does. At the World Championships, he ran 9.71 and that's the fastest a US athlete has ever run and he was still cussing. So deep down, I think he probably just hates my guts.It's no stress. This year is not a championship year, this is my year off I would say, so it is no problem," Bolt said. "I am always ready, prepared and on top of my game (at the championships).

(In mi Yankee voice) Ummm...Nigga u got ya ass whooped, chill...If u wanted a year off why did u even go to Stockholm yute. U work hard yes,almost as much as u party so if u want a year off u shud hav just taken it. The man beat u fair n square, so don't hate on him cuz u weren't even close to him at the finish line. Take the time off if u need it but don't be a sore loser. This is no joke, take ure profession seriously.
