one thing with Kartel, him always find a way to fit in Mavado in a all him interviews to show respect!
Right ✅️
Because he is true to is self
That feud with Mavado took him to a new level musically. So I get that he pays respect. Those two were phenomenal in their prime.
@JordanDavis-m8k well that's fact
At this point nobody can’t mek mi hate Vybz Kartel .
Talk truth
my point exactly
✅️
So anybody can?
@@sadiquebakar9070he said nobody dumbo

Why am I crying???? I'm so proud of this man
Mi too. 😅
Fullygaza 🙏💯🇯🇲

Ikr 😮😢
Gaza strip open 🇯🇲
This man life needs a movie
Was thinking so yes a movie is needed wow
I'm sure that's in the works
In the works dada 👌🏾
Thought about it this morning.. no joke a bio pic that would set earthquake
For sure. I wonder if that fox reporter was at 'Freedom Street' she LOVES Kartel she covered EVERY story 🙌🏾🖕🏾❤️
Vybz watching Gossip Girl is iconic af! 😂😂😂 that’s my show too 😂😂❤ this man is so cultured and versatile with his artistry
Crazy Right, Can't Believe it.😅
Netflix, where are you? The world’s ready for a fire series on Vybz Kartel! His story’s got it all, talent, drama, and the unstoppable rise of the World Boss. Time to bring the Gaza legend to the screen! 🎬🔥
Who else saw Shatta wale 🇬🇭 the African Dancehall King 🤴 ❤️🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
i was shock what
respect to ghana
Africa well represented ❤🎉
I’m also shocked 😂
Grace Muller you are so beautiful 😊😊
THIS MAN IS A LIVING LEGEND.
This is the interview where we all get to hear how articulate, and well-spoken Vybz realy is. Although we already know!
Vybz Kartel for me is the most lyrical, most influential, funny, intelligent and the most hardworking musician of all time. The G.O.A.T
Cant be the goat and don't have Grammy,Mobo awards,sell great amount of records,get sign to international label ,so that's non Sense,the Goat is Beenie Man
@@michaelbarret2461last one is stupid. Being signed by major label have nth to do with it. Others i understand. But those voting awards shouldn’t be used. They will vote for who they like personally.
@@michaelbarret2461he was never nominated for any of those awards due to the fact he was behind bars Kmt
FULLY PACKAGE
@@michaelbarret2461he was banned from MOBO because of non-music issues
I am growing to love and appreciate this new and improved version of Adijah Palmer. I have always appreciated, rated and respect him for his gift and talent as a prolific song writer and lyricist but ever sijce he came out he has shown us all a different side to his personality. Maturity and growth has definitely changed this brother into who he has become and who he is becoming. I admire how he takes care of his family and jsu how he spreads love and laughter in the streets wherever he goes. May the Lord continue to keep him and his family and use him mightily to be an instrument of influence for positivity, upliftment, peace, harmony, and unity. On that note, Happy birthday to him too. God bless.👊🏿⭐️❤️🙏🏿🇯🇲
This man was my idol back in the day before he went to a can. And he still is. I never stopped rooting for Kartel and in Czech Republic I was the only one shouting for is innocence. Love you, Adidja.
Respect and love!🇯🇲💛🇯🇲
Big up 🔥
Anyone watching and watching the views go up fast at the same time😂😂😂big up yuh self me fada
Like a movie
Jamaica please don't sleep on this legend we get such once in a generation Bob Marley, Michael Jackson and now Vybz Kartel
kartel a mi artist, no doubt man a legend but Bob and Michael Jackson on a whole different level...Big up worldboss, but facts is facts..
@@lenoncho3777kartel will be bigger than both those guys soon. Watch and see
@@lenoncho3777 Lol mi know wah yah seh but if he didn’t go to prison he probably would be a billionaire
Facts
Bob Marley was different and his songs transcend generations. Michael had notable talent and could put on a show. Michael was undoubtedly magnificent. Bob, however, could stand still with his guitar and capture one's soul because there are some much depth and meaning in the lyrics. His songs still resonate after 40 years. Bob's songs are still trending on the airwaves in Europe and the Middle East. I don't think we can compare Kartel to Bob Marley. I say give it time, we shall see.
Kartel: “Don’t come for me” I used to like watching Gossip Girls”. 😂
That's were he got the xoxo from in fever
Yyyy feeh come
@@CeezyThaGodyyyyyyy😂😂😂
Bun up di come argument
😅😂
This rights here is dancehall royalty ,we see it in reggae with bob now its dancehall time,give him his flowers anything palmer is gold now
He said don't come for me I watch Gossip Girl 😂😂😂😂😂
Bounty said it Kartel is phenomenal.
Kartel can write more than 10 true life story book.... long live the king
I’m happy seeing Shatta Wale 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭to the world

Me second
A nose! 😅 🔥
Wah Dis Unda Mi Nose???
@@The_Eleven23 I'm out!!
Wah dis under me nose?
I cant wait till they make a movie about this legend
Starring his son as a young Addi Banton
Same so
Either let this man do a movie or give him at least a 3 hour long
Documentary!!!! He is a icon and his story is nothing but strength and greatness!! Kartel could have come out of prison angry , shouting and bitter but instead he came back out put his son on even more than he already was brought a family home brought his daughter a new car while also being there for as a farther , got engage, built his brand back !! Made new deals in America and is doing freedom Street … this man is an icon !! We should ALL BE INSPIRED to go for what we want !! Even in prison kartel still found a way to RECORD HIT SONGS!!! There no excuse for us not to try and go for what we want !! Kartel was up against ALL ODDS AND STILL WON! We all still have our freedom !!! So let’s try , strive and do well and achieve
TALK TRUTH!!!✨️
It’s admirable he’s strength and consistency bro, anything over 3 months in jail would mash your head up crazy youd lose track of time quickly, think how much internal strength you would need to do 13 years and bounce back this strong. Crazy. I think some people with that level of talent and work rate are just different types of people
@@Purple_968 🫶🫶❤️
@@levels1752 you said this perfectly is I went to jail for one day I would lose my head lol so no way could I handle 13 years and especially when there was no proof or evidence ever found ! He was simply locked up because of so called “ influence “ which is wrong and foul Cus even when he was locked up crime and shootings plus more was still happening!!! It’s very very very cruel what they done to him and his health !! But the way he has bounced back is beyond incredible it’s true what they say SUCCESS REALLY IS THE BEST REVENGE!!! ❤️
@jazmeinaLouise exactly that. I feel like 5 years in jail and I wouldn’t be able to form a sentence correctly 😂 theres no doubt he’s special. Must’ve sat with the thoughts like “when i get out im gonna do a massive show” you’d just imagine 13 years while facing life that you would lose all of that thought process it’s a crazy amount of time, he looked absolutely ready when he came out
Respect father for putting shatta wale on for that you earned more respect from me 😭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭 Ghana no dey deserve Wale
13 years in 🅿️ with no snitching , and came back like a REAAAAL G💯.
All gaza citizens gather here🫡🙏

I'm proud of his growth like he's my father ..

The thing I love about Vybz Kartel is the fact that he never forgot about his fans... He always dropped bangers while still in prison
The dedication and resilience is what makes a legend

MIXUP!
There can never be another vybz kartel this man is exceptionally great growing up listening to the man from 2000 its a joy to see how this man took over the genre of danchall an made it is own while paving ways to say wat others was afraid to say this man is dancehall himself from skin bleaching to tattoos from ilighting brands like clarks an it sold out rosary chains vneck t-shirt sold out ect gshock watch sold out this man is the greatest to ever do it an will always be mr addijah azim palmer mr respect for him is like a father to a son 👍 words concept words play ect this man writing skill is enormous phenomenal
Jamaica is a small island in size but big in its genius. She is so full of talent in the artistic and musical field,crazy. I hope that the beefs between your artists will end soon because it is the only thing that prevents you from enjoying your blessings. Love from Comoros
This story is bigger than life 💪🏾👍🏾🇯🇲💯
The views are climbing by the hundreds in real time as I watch this video! Big ups to Billboard for making sure our Caribbean legends don’t go unnoticed! BIG UPS TO ADDI TEACHA! 👑
No joke
Big ups Big Ups💯💯💯
He seems so humbled by life. A true living legend. I could only hope all the youths know this man’s story!!!!!
Of course 13 years innocent in jail is time he will never get back
Who was not hooked on Gossip Girl back in the day. That is indeed a fun fact about Mr Vybz Kartel
King of the dancehall!!!!billboard interview
When he said the Vybz Kartel that went in was a beast he wasn't lying 2011 kartel was something never seen before and cannot be duplicated
Jah Jah, look how the boss just chilled and confident knowing that he’s the only king of the dancehall. Big up yourself Addi🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I’m happy seeing Shatta Wale 🇬🇭 in the documentary
Ghana ❤ Jamaica
You deserve the Grammy kartel. One Adija Palmer! One world boss.
Vybz Kartel is the best I’m not asking you. I’m telling you he’s more than a king.
Tha day this man steps inna Afrika,he will understand why Shatta Wale said he's an angel over here

BigUps World Boss for featuring #ShattaWale in this interview 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🔥🙏🏾🙏🏾🔥🇬🇭🇬🇭
This is the biggest interview & stream for BILLBOARD - Kartel is phenomenal
What a smooth interview. He came across genuine, and provided well articulated answers. I really enjoy watching the man he has become. Some entertainers need to take notes, they come off far too arrogant. Watch the legend!
Anybody compare Vybz Kartel to any other artiste will be locked away for life without parole.
Watch this be legendary! Big up Kartel 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
No better way to get a Like out of me than posting a Kartel video.
When people call him King of Dance hall, it's an understatement.
Great interview.
God of Dancehall
Dancehall is back big up to the king world boss vybzkartel God is the greatest 🙏🏾 🫡☝️
The greatest most iconic artist of everytime of all time, every time, up to the time. AHHHUOOO!
His narrative is exceptionally inspiring. While alternative perspectives may exist, my assessment remains that what was intended to hinder his progress has instead propelled him to unprecedented success.
On Point. Gr8 Assessment
This interview was interesting and entertaining at the same time. Loved how the interviewer gave him all the time to speak so we got to hear his story and see his personality more. They should use this interviewer more.
Thank you for featuring our King ❤🙌🏽👑 We love you Vybz Kartel 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Shatta Wale di African Dancehall king was there to grace the stage with his beautiful performances..

Thanks 💯
I can only imagine the reception he would get if he visited Gambia, Ghana and Kenya; and to a lesser extent Uganda, Malawi and Zimbabwe. That would be wild.
I am sure he will do that
The guy really sounds wise.
I like this version of him much more than the previous one.
What a transformation!!!
Vybz Kartel is the King of the dancehall who can really do what Vybz Kartel do and still be on top??
Been listening to Vybz Kartel sincle middle school and I'm still a fan. I'm so happy and proud of him!
Big up from 🇬🇾
( G.O.A.T #vybzkartel 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲 )
Vybz Kartel is name the WORLD BOSS!!
Big up the don everytime!
His name is not world boss it is Wirl Boss
Greatest. The greatest artist of the modern era when it comes to creativity with words. Not even Eminem, 2pac or even MJ can match him when it comes to words, lyrical creativity and versatility. Obviously MJ is above all when it comes to performing and vocals.
If only the world was able to understand patwa then they would understand.
Btw, Vybz Kartel has never signed to a major label.
Ohh, I see you caught urself at the end about MJ but I understand he is big
He did he said he was signed to greensleeves records in The UK but after that he hasn't been signed since 🤷🏽♂️
@ChosenVessel10 for distribution, that's all. Nth else
Eminem a the man for lyrics
MJ a the man for vocals & performance
Teacha a the man for style, pattern and craft
Only Green Sleeve Records
I remember working my first job when kartel went to jail im in my second job of nearly 14 years and kartel was freed 🎉🎉🎉
Love him or hate him, Vybz Kartel is the epitome of INSPIRATION, CHANGE, STRENGTH, FOCUS. He has motivated me to get up out of my lazy stupor and be back on track with my fitness regime and other plans. Vybz has motivated me to ACTION! Respect! 💯👊🏽 🇯🇲
King of the dancehall finally getting hus flowers 👑

Very intelligent and eloquent speaker PROUD to be Caribbean
God bless this man. Whether he did or did not do whatever he was accused of, that doesn't matter anymore. He is surely a living legend in dancehall music. Probably the greatest to ever hit that genre of music. May you live your remaining years in peace Adidja Palmer. You have been and will forever be an inspiration to us all.
