Behind the scenes of Vybz Kartel's video shoot
By: Jigga
YardFlex Reporter

Deejay Vybz Kartel shot several scenes from the combination music video for the singles, 'So Much To Say' and the popular 'Stammer' song on Monday. The video is being directed by the doyenne of music videos in Jamaica, Nordia Rose.
YARDFLEX.COM was on location, chilling on the ends in Kirk Avenue in Havendale, St. Andrew.
Kartel, Bling Dawg and Wayne Marshall were shooting a scene from the 'Stammer' song on Preston's new rhythm in front of a zinc fence, where Kartel was giving it to the camera in his tommy-gun stammering delivery that is blowing up all over the nation's airwaves.
She say me ah de don-ah-na-na-nah
Number one-ah-na-na-nah
She get stammer-ah-na-na-nah
Pon the John-ah-na-na-nah
As the scene was being shot, an armada of purple thunderclouds were dragging their bellies across the afternoon sky, devouring the last of the blue, and then the heavens opened. Kartel, Bling Dawg and Wayne Marshall dashed for cover, along with about 15 other men including Singer Blinger and Escobar.
YARDFLEX.COM did an interview with Nordia Rose during the break in the shooting.

"It's been going well. We started shooting this video last week Friday when we did a scene at the Hellshire beach with two girls coming out of the water seductively, and one of him driving a Benz jeep, that was for the 'Stammer' song. Today, we are shooting another part of the 'Stammer' song with Wayne and Bling."
Other scenes such as a hustling scene where Kartel is seen gambling and throwing dice, learning how to hustle from his friend are related to the 'So Much To Say' single featuring Wayne Marshall. The single, which samples a monster Phil Collins hit, revolves around the life and loss of a close childhood friend of the deejay who gets gunned down, forcing Kartel to later exact revenge on the man who did the deed.
"When we shot that part last week, we had a police car, and the friend's body on the ground, people who passed by thought it was a real person on the ground, and were asking us why we were laughing when someone was dead," Rose said.
The video will be edited and released soon. That is it from Yardflex, keeping you up to the time.
