Three minutes was not nearly enough. A legendary man amongst the entire Caribbean, and now the world ⭐️

[sueyenlawrence]

That’s it? This was like a thesis statement to an essay. We need more.

[rfcrorymacwatp]

When he walked out in the camo that battle was just fuckin too hype…vybz is and always will be a legend

[jimmijames]

I randomly bought a album from apple music a decade or so ago and it was Vybz, a fan since then.

[EjnrTV]

If he never went prison Kartel would of become a global artist on charts without leaving Jamaica. Kartel’s problem is he thought he was too smart, unstoppable and underestimated his enemies. Had he been more wise he wouldn’t of been in this position!

[rajivgotti]

Vybz kartel is d 🐐 regardless of d genre

[jackmac]

"His body was chopped up so thoroughly it would never be found", DAMN.

[derriktomorrow]

No other dancehall artist quite compares to Vybz. Quite a sad That He Allowed His Arrogance To Fail
Him. 2007-2011 Vybz was a favourite at every house party i
went to

[mademoiselledelaforet]

That light skin cream used in Jamaica is socially unacceptable here in my country, we call it “choco” and people who use them are often shamed about using it for what ever purposes that is, and it’s also considered rude to ask a person if they are using it just to tell you that it’s nothing to be proud of .

[Jay-hrrh]

Either you are an artist, badman, wickedman or gunman. You cannot be all of the above.

[vision-qqtg]

When I was in high school in Toronto there was legit team movado and world boss groups. Probably the best feud for dancehall music. There was a mixtape out every weekend.
