The Kingdom was really good and I love how the [...]

They say truth is stranger than fiction and in the case of New York resident Stacey Gayle, I’d have to agree. Gayle suspected that her favorite artist, Sean Paul’s music was causing her to have epileptic seizures. This suspicion was solidified after she listened to Sean Paul’s Temperature on her iPod while under her doctor’s [...]

Video: Sean Paul says he would spank Britney Spears if she were his daughter!

Sean Paul gives his “solicited” two cents on Brittney Spears (hasn’t everyone?) while leaving the Ivy Restaurant in LA yesterday. (I just find it so funny when the paparazzi asks celebrities their opinions on other celebrities as if they have no life of their own. I know, I know, gossip and drama sells! ) [...]

TeenAge Magazine says BOO to the worst reggae artists of 2007!

When I initially saw this list I chuckled at some of the choices (and agreed) but then I questioned why some others were seemingly given a free pass, like D’Angel for example (nothing personal, just wondering since they specifically named her in the article). Check out the list and tell me what you think?

Highway 2000: Drive and Walk At Your Own Risk!

While I was in Jamaica, I was really surprised by the progress the government had made on Highway 2000.

Although the road was now completely paved [...]
