Stop Gaza/Gully feud from growing in the schools
School administrators have joined those expressing dismay at the growing feud among the student population over support for rival dance hall artistes Mavado and Vybz Kartel.
The rivalry has pitted Mavado's Gully supporters against Vybz Kartel's fans who describe themselves as Gaza.
According to Ruel Reid, Principal of Jamaica College, this has created a serious problem in schools and the matter must be urgently addressed before it gets out of hand.
"We don't have to bring it to this level ... we have this thing out there about sound and artistes clashing, always some confrontation. As a society, we've got to move away from that and if the artistes are projecting positive images, it must not lead to division.
Meanwhile, Guidance Counsellor Lameta Lugg said major players in the music industry should take some responsibility for what is happening in the schools.
"I think the music fraternity has to step up, acknowledge that that there is a problem, there is an issue with the music that the children are listening to. In my opinion, it is demoralising ... it is the same music that will be pulling us down and the music fraternity needs to step up and do something."

I couldnt agree anymore. vybz/movado should have stepped up and say NO! we have to stop it is getting out of hand. vybz kartel/movado dont care who them stupid music influence, as long as its putting money in their pocket. Watch them wont be around much longer when ppl start protesting/boycotting them music. ppl need to stop supporting them and see how they feel the pinch.

Cus if unuh want to cus but ppl need fi stop blame Mavado and Kartel for dem pickney slack behaviour. Whether it be Mavado or Kartel, PNP or JLP, CLANS or One Order; there will always be a group that pulls their child cuz humans like to feel belonged! Instead parents need to teach their children SENSE and how fi THINK fi dem selves and not follow company!!
Mr. Ruel Reid principal of Jamaica College needs to understand that the situation is already out of control.

Oonu Really wan fi stop badniss, Haffi bring forward Gladniss...
- When a war start- you have 2 look @ the root & reason for the begining of the sinning...
Kartel LEFT The Alliance & started 2 buss chunes wid grudgeful nature. Sh*T Talking...
Then Come the Gaza... pickney Rhyno & dem talkin trash bout veteran musician Bounty who deh pon MTV, BET & tour di world...
Mavado stay on the higher ground droppin more spiritual chune dem pon di las year.
- The old war, in '07 when dem come together wit Scotland Yard & shake hands- that's in the past.
The New War- is Gaza Vs.... not jus Gully but whol of dem preaching PEACE.
De Whol of De Gaza buss Violence, Hatred & Badmind...
Bounty deh pon Hype TV & him seh about MUSIC... not Gully or Gaza....
Mavado a di biggest star fi buss since Sean Paul. Alliance chunes rotate pon de whol o de hip hop selectors & radio stations in the US. Serani, Busy, Vado, Bounty tour di WORLD...
Gaza tour JAMAICA.
- The World nuh wan fi hear Badmind all de time. You Badmind, you go down. Look what happen to Dame Dash, Jim Jones & dem bumboclaat. They go against Jay-Z, the greatest rapper alive, billion dollar enterprise, dem get squashed.
- Alliance bring more messages of love than Gaza could even try. Sure JahVinci sing some rootical tune- him mixed up wit da wrong crew. Why Did Aidonia leave? To become Successful!
Him kno, ya cyaan be successful internationally by tearing ya country apart.
That is why Bob Marley was the MOST successful musician outta di Yard. Him sing bout Love. Nuff War agwan, People need unity, love & respect.
- Mavado sing chune fi uplift de ghetto yute & him people. His sound- more international- more approachable- more accessible for a massive audience to Overstand & appreciate. Even his Gunshot chune a still whol melody & soul.
Gaza Need fi learn lesson. You WANNA BE INTERNATIONAL & SUCCESSFUL- STOP PREACHING WAR YA B*mboHOLE! War sells only when you got big money & are dealing with Big government.
THE OUTERNATIONAL MUSIC BUSINESS SELLS AGAINST WAR. Look Who Control di Media. Look who sell Records. Amazon, Itunes... Look who signs artists, Look @ da mainstream & way de people fi access di Music. Mavado Part of that access. Bounty part of that access. Serani part of that. You Definitely DO NOT see GAZA videos on BET or MTV.
Jamaica NEEDS TO STAND UP & CALL OUT KARTEL & GAZA.
IT IS QUITE OBVIOUS THAT GAZA & dem FANS ARE PUSHING FOR MORE WAR. EVERYTIME oonu see Gaza comment online dem PREACH HATE. GAZA SMALL MIND! Me have love & respect for the talent, the lyricism & the creativity of GaZa. GAZA No have no love nor respect. HOW CAN YOU TALK down pon BOUNTY when him record with Mobb Deep, Busta Rhymes... Black Rhyno wish him could do dat. Why Does Busta, DJ Khaled f wit Alliance- Cuz DEM KNOW DEM RIGHTEOUS!!!! Bounty inna de musical tradition of Reggae. HAFFI BIG up ya Elders.
THOSE WHO TURN DEM BACK PON THOSE WHO PAVE & TROD A ROAD NAH UNDERSTAND THE TRUTH.
Lil Wayne stand next to Jay-Z on stage & tell de crowd "Jay-Z de Greatest Rapper Alive" after Weezy say himself was. But him knew him tongue dash weh trouble & f*ckery & him CORRECT himself.
SHOW MORE LOVE. LOVE COME BACK. KARMA. Respect. GAZA Need fi learn dat.
Jamaica NEED fi call out de GAZA & stop sayin both sides. CUZ if it were not for the GAZA, the war would NOT exist.
That is the truth.

This Gaza and Gully feud is even talked about in the UK/USA/Canada, with people wearing teeshirts showing their support. If the music made did not have so much bad language, sexual references, and the cussing of each artist & their supporters, this would have been a great brand & most corporations could not have marketed it better. with what I have heard recorded, so far I am not surprised children in Jamaica are beginning to be affected. When things get out of hand it is up the the government & their law makers to act,alongside the artistes involved, before someone gets hurt...
Time to bring this Gully/Gaza foolishness to an end.
