A lot of people have emailed, seen me on the streets and have asked me who is this Nelly Furtado. That's the girl on the Missy Elliott "Get Your Freak On" beat that have added a little Jamaican "yeah man" flava DJaying on the "Freak On" ridim. People at first thought she was Black, myself included, so I did a little research for those lazy bums and here is what I came up with. Nelly was born on December 2, 1978, is of Portuguese parentage, who were originally from the Portuguese archipelago Azores. She was raised in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada (oh no not another Snow). Just kidding. Nelly's musical influences comes from Lionel Ritchie and Paula Abdul as early inspirations. Her vibes comes from the influence of post-modern mix-master Beck and her Portuguese heritage and Latin grooves that made her an instant favorite with the young hip-hoppers. As a teenager she learned to play ukulele, trombone and guitar, while embracing a range of musical genres, from urban R&B, Reggae, hip-hop to rock, Latin and world music. She moved to Toronto in the late 90s to work, she performed at night as one half of the hip-hop duo Nelstar and as a solo freestyler. She recorded a demo with two fans, Gerald Eaton and Brian West, fellow Canadians, of the Philosopher Kings, which eventually led to a major label contract with DreamWorks Records. After making her live debut proper on select dates of the 1999 Lilith Fair tour, Furtado released her debut Whoa, Nelly! in October 2000. Rooted in contemporary urban sounds, Furtado's songwriting includes folk, trip-hop, bossa nova, and reggae that is reminiscent of Beck's work.


OK! So what have we learned over the past 4 months? I should not be trusted to update the news regularly (not that there wasn't enough to report) and also don't trust a frigging rabbit! Why? You ask? Well, a rabbit I knew quite well was happily running through the forest when he stumbled upon a giraffe rolling a joint. 
The rabbit looks at the giraffe and says, "Giraffe my friend, why do you do this? Come with me running through the forest, you'll see, you'll feel so much better!" The giraffe looks at him, looks at the joint, tosses it and goes off running with the rabbit.

Then they come across an elephant doing coke, so the rabbit again says, "Elephant my friend, why do you do this? Think about your health. Come running with us through the pretty forest, you'll see, you'll feel So good! "The elephant looks at them, looks at his razor, mirror and all, then tosses them and starts running with the rabbit and giraffe.

The three animals then come across a lion about to shoot up and the rabbit again says, "Lion my friend, why do you do this? Think about your health! ... Come running with us through the sunny forest, you will feel so good!" The lion looks at him, puts down his needle, and starts to beat the shit out of the rabbit. As the giraffe and elephant watch in horror, they look at him and ask, "Lion, why did you do this? ... He was merely trying to help us all!" The lion answers, "That little shit! He makes me run around the forest like an idiot each time he is on ecstasy!" The moral of the story? Just say no to drugs. It can get you killed. Click for more jokes.

Well I had enough gossip to put on the site (some I forgot but will remember eventually) but because I've had to tend to the upcoming boatride on August 18, 2001.


Tanya Stephens, 27 years old hails from St Mary, Jamaica and though many do not give her the credit she deserves -- mainly because of her reputation as being outspoken off as well as on-stage -- is one of Jamaica's finest Singjay. Her voice soothes and makes you want to sing along with her. Her lyrics were always more on the side of fighting for women's rights and as some say "male bashing" "You No Ready Fe Dis Yet", "Goggle", "From You Hot" are just samples of the wonderful work Tanya has put out on the streets. Tanya is now living in Sweden and has her new website called Sintoxicated. The reason she moved to Sweden was that nobody in Jamaica shared her ambitions to do something different.  The most common response she would get was "We should stick to what we do best". As usual, Tanya Stephens said seem to say to them all "Kiss My Ass". So she sought outside collaborators and eventually ended up in Sweden. Tanya has completed her album called "Sintoxicated" and the first single is the chant-like "No More". The video was shot in Jamaica and Cuba and the song was an immediate hit on Sweden’s Radio P3 and music channel Z TV. Tanya still resides in Jamaica but will spend a considerable amount of time in Sweden and Europe over the next 6 months in a bid to launch "Sintoxicated" to a worldwide audience.

Tanya was born in St. Mary Jamaica on the 2nd of July 1973, which makes her a Leo (Lion) which might attest to her strong will (if you believe the horoscopes. Let me ramble here. People are quick to believe the horoscopes but are slow to believe there is a God. Back to the regularly scheduled writing. If you are a fan of Tanya Stephens, check her bio at Sintoxicated.com. It was a very interesting read.


BEENIE MAN SOURS TANTO METRO'S BIRTH NIGHT BASH. Paradise Cove was the venue of choice for Tanto Metro's Birthnight Bash. What was noticeable at the event was that not much fanfare, dancehall crews or modellers were in attendance except for Sonny Ranking. The "bling" seems to have gone South according to Jack Sowah, one of Jamaica's Videographer, was at hand and lent some insight into the matter. He said "Since the killing (death of Willie Haggart) dance noh nice again, nuff tings flop." Jack feels that many of the high profile crews have been put off from the limelight, as it is still unclear as to who or exactly why Haggart was slain. Anyway, the stage show started a little past 2:00am and as usual you had Murphy's Law came into play as the microphone failed and thus they (the artistes) had to move to the roof top where the sounds were playing. Tonto Metro took a champagne shower courtesy of Moet. Tonto showed why he has been in the business for so long as he let off a few of the crowd's favorite lyrics. He was then joined by Wayne Marshall, Wayne Wonder, Baby Cham, Bling Dawg, Elephant Man, Anthony B and If you look closely at the video you can clearly see a drunk Beenie Man. Since there was only one microphone, the passing (grabbing) of the mic between deejays took a nasty turn as Beenie Man (drunk as he was) became the major culprit. It was obvious he didn’t want anyone else to deejay apart from himself because when he heard the other deejays getting bigger forwards than him, he elbowed them hogged the mic. Even the girls in the audience was not calling for Beenie Man... they were more imploring him to "Leggo the mic and give Elephant Man" (or Bling Dawg or Anthony B for that matter). If you didn't know the history why Frisco Kid left Shocking Vibes here is a little tid bit. It is said Frisco saw Beenie Man and Partick Roberts in a swimming pool one night he went over to Shocking Vibes compound. That is how the song "WE NO IN A WHE DEM IN A". Well Frisco Kid stormed the makeshift stage and turned the place upside down. He wheeled off some of his hits and then sang "Nah Strayto a big forward. He handed the mic to Elephant who saw Beenie Man snatching it from his hands. The Doctor started to draw card against Frisco by saying "DJs haffi stray" and that "We noh f**k batty or suck p**sy but we haffi stray as DJs to perform". Some people were unaware of the rift between Frisco and Beenie Man so those who knew about it let Beenie Man have some boos and those who didn't know about it let him have some more boos to let him know that don't make it. Beenie Man felt that the lyrics Frisco were djaying were being directed at him even though Elephant Man said "A noh you the man a talk Beenie Man". The artistes could be seen walking off the roof pissed off at Beenie Man who should be ashamed of himself for flopping Tonto Metro's bash. During his tirade the crowd could be seen following the rest of the artistes out of the venue. Back in Kingston, Elephant Man, Wayne Marshall, Bling Dawg and others listened to Beenie Man saying that Frisco Kid's lyrics "Nah Stray" were directed at him because as quoted from Beenie Man "Frisco used to be amongst Shocking Vibes and tru him see two man a bathe together inna pool him lef and mek up a lyrics (Mi noh eena Whe Dem eena), but we never pay him noh mind dem time deh, but a mi him did a talk from night." Bone Head, er Beenie Man didn't want to hear what anyone else had to say and even started blaming Elephant Man for taking Frisco Kid's side. Okay! So everyone walked away and left him again arguing cause Dem noh eena Whe HIM eena. Dem say de Truth Hurts.


Doctor Beenie Man Performs Surgery on DJ LA LEWIS. Tries to Rearrange his Jawbone with His Fist. I was moving around town when I read this article in the Weekly Star. It states DJ LA Lewis was at Shocking Vibes Studios to record a song for a producer. According to Lewis, Beenie Man came in and 'called to him'. Beenie Man proceeded to another section of the building and returned again asking him what he was doing there. Lewis said he started to repeat "me here to do a song for a pro......." but before he could finish, Beenie Man punched him in the jaw. Lewis states that before he could react a bunch of men ganged up on him so he didn't react 'cause according to Lewis that would have been suicide. He left immediately and went to see his doctor." No. Not the Doctor Beenie Man. There is always two sides to a story. The other side says LA Lewis and Beenie Man got into an argument at a stage show in Ocho Rios and because Beenie Man was not in his environment, Beenie Man left the scene without incident. So when Beenie Man saw Lewis at the studio he decided to let Lewis have it. Lewis have taken out a summons against the Doctor and is demanding a public apology. He said if the Doctor does not apologize publicly he is going to have him arrested and will pursue a lawsuit against the entertainer. Clyde McKenzie, director of Shocking Vibes said he is aware of the incident and also said "It would be a good gesture but I can't speak for Beenie Man." Clyde went on to say "While I may think it is a good idea, if he does not want to do it, we can't force him to." Recently Beenie Man was sentenced on June 4 to 50 hours of community service for assaulting his ex-girlfriend Janet Harris. Lewis said "People from California call and a ask him bout it". I will keep abreast of the situation.

Mr. Lex(sucks)xus Wanted for Leaving $37,000 Worth of Debt in Bahamas.  Mr. Lexus or LexSUCKS according to Bounty, diverted from the Grand Bahamas hotel leaving a debt of $37,000 (US $824.85). The debt he incurred was from the period of June 1st -- 5th, 2001. Headline Entertainment who handles bookings for the "Full Hundred" DJ wanted the STAR to fax over copies of the bills which they did. Their reaction was they would verify with the DJ if he made the alleged 40 phone calls and food bills. The Grand Bahamas said they have been trying to get in touch with the DJ for about a week now and have expressed taking legal action. My take on the whole is that Mr. Lex might have a "Full Hundred" but he certainly doesn't have Eight Hundred.
