YES YES YES
Anthony Turner, WEEKLY STAR Writer
There is a visible change in the Vybz Kartel’s complexion over the years.
New York clubdj and Irie Jam radio host/programme director, Dubb Master Chris, is standing by his decision not to play any songs by dancehall artiste Vybz Kartel during Black History Month.
The radio discjock had announced last week that he will not play any music from the artiste who has raised eyebrows for bleaching his skin.
Black History Month is a big deal and we as a people should take every opportunity to celebrate our heritage. I feel if I continue to play Vybz Kartel, an artiste who is now very much known for bleaching his skin, it simply sends the wrong message to my young impressionable listeners” Chris said in an exclusive interview with the Star.
“Please understand that I have a lot of love and respect for Kartel’s music. I respect his enormous talent and his individuality.He is one of the great lyricists of our time, however, at times I am disappointed in the direction he decides to take his audienceeven thoughthat is his prerogative” he noted.
Chris, who reiterated that he has been playing Vybz Kartel music on his radio show since the artiste first broke on the scene in the late 90s with Gal Clown, said he is against bleaching.
“I strongly believe bleaching is wrong, wrong, wrong! It’s a disgrace. It’s a slap in the face of our heritage, our ancestors andour God. This definitely sends the wrong message to children, I think it leads them to believe that somehow, if they are dark complexion something is wrong with that.It erodes the concept thatblack is beautiful,” he said.

Chris, whose career on radio spans 16 years, said he made the decision to ban Kartel songs because of the power and influence the dj wheels, especially on the minds of young impressionable kids who love his music.
“Without a doubt kids are following his lead. Entertainers need to understand that the words they use are powerful. They influence their listeners, especially the younger ones. Artistes have the power to start trends good or bad … remember that,” he noted.
He called on other radio jocks who programme reggae songs to “take a good look at the values they are reinforcing by playing an artiste such as Kartel especially in these times.” He noted that the temporary ban on Kartel music specifically applies to radio play. The ban he said was a personal decision but said that he had the full support of the Irie Jam Radio management and other jocks at the station.
Vybz Kartel, the award winning DJ who is known for songs like Romping Shop, Clarkes, Gun Like Mine, and Who Tell You Fi Run has said in several interviews that he doesn’t mind being controversial and he bleaches to show up his many tattoos.
He is also comfortable with black people bleaching and it is tantamount to white people tanning.
HIM BRUTAL
Police lab tests reveal yogurt had an extra added ingredient: SEMEN
A New Mexico woman thought she was eating healthy when she accepted a yogurt sample from a male clerk at a local grocery store. After swallowing the sample, the woman thought she tasted an extra added ingredient that wasn?t on the menu.
So she took her suspicions ? and what was left of the yogurt sample ? to the New Mexico police department where tests were run on the yogurt. The lab tests came back positive for ejaculated protein, aka semen, and saliva.
Police immediately took out search warrants to obtain blood and DNA samples from the grocery store clerk, Anthony Garcia, 31. Police said the body fluids were necessary to make sure the suspect doesn?t have any sexually transmitted diseases.
They busted Garcia on the spot after it was determined that he had two outstanding warrants for a 2009 arrest for criminal sexual activity with a minor.
The 28-year-old victim, whose name was redacted from the police report, was shopping with her daughter at the Sunflower grocery store in Albuquerque, when she was approached by Garcia, who worked in the store?s dairy department.
He offered her a sample of yogurt, which she accepted. But she was immediately grossed out and disgusted when she realized the sample ?tasted like semen.?
In a handwritten statement, the woman wrote, ?I spit it out on the floor many times cuz I was upset.?
She wrote that when she talked to the grocery store manager Catherine Flores, ?she told me was a Greek yoghurt. People love it has lot of protein on it.?
The woman said she paid for her groceries and returned home where she discussed the incident with her boyfriend. She told him how Garcia ?just come with one sample just for me,? and that ?he was so pushy to tell me how it taste.?
Her boyfriend was sufficiently alarmed enough to accompany her back to the store, where they summoned the police. When police arrived, an ?extremely nervous? Garcia told them he discarded the yogurt samples in a trash compactor after the woman complained about the taste.
This story gives new meaning to the phrase ?You are what you eat.?

JMG LOVE CONNECTION
Hi Met,
I hope all is well. Firstly I love your site!!!!!! Congratulations on all your success with the website. I’m sending you a picture containing Lucky British standing beside a man in a silk shirt. I have a little crush on him (on the man in the shirt, not Lucky). I know having an internet crush seems really sad and juvenile. I was wondering if you have any information about him. I feel really stupid doing this, but I thought you would be the best person to ask. Please (for that sake of my sanity) Thank you for your time
