Merciless no match for me Ninja states
Merciless is not a candidate for ‘clash re-incarnation’ as far as the ‘Original Don Gorgon’, Ninja Man is concerned. He told reporters recently that he has already killed and buried Merciless and has no intention of re-visiting that ‘graveyard’.
At STING 2008, Merciless was by all accounts one of the hottest acts to grace the Jamworld, Portmore stage and he tried in vain to get his ‘clash’ on. Calling out artist after artist, he was not appeased, but told The Star recently that it is not over. “Dis war nuh done, anywhere mi buk him a war,” he declared, referring to his deep desire correct his loss to Ninja Man.
However, Ninja Man is not interested in what he described as clashing with an artist who may well be ready for Heineken Star time, the scene for ‘soon to be retired’ veterans. As far as the Don Gorgon sees it, if an artist hasn’t been in the mix for more than five years, it is time for them to hang up their microphone. Ninja Man said, Merciless has been out of the loop for eight years now. “Mi nah war wid Merciless again, him need to go do some tune,” the original gold teeth front teeth Don Gorgon stated to The Star.
What disturbs Ninja Man further is the fact that Merciless took his title and did nothing much to advance himself after doing so. Ninja referred to Shabba Ranks, Super Cat and Cobra who in the past toppled him in clashes and went on to do great things for themselves. Not so with Merciless. Ninja reportedly said, “Merciless come tek mi title and do nuting wid it. Mi come back and kill Merciless wid one tune and show seh me a di don.”
In need of a challenge, Ninja Man said he wants to test himself at this point to see how good he is in the business, so he would only clash with competition like: Bounty Killer, Beenie Man and Vybz Kartel. In fact he made such a request to Isaiah Laing the power behind STING, but was not accommodated on that count for the 2008 edition.
Still, in Merciless’ eyes, Ninja Man avoided him and ran away at STING 2008, after talking a good game in the media. He said that the war is not over and anywhere he meets up Ninja Man or Cobra, the lyrical war will be on.
