Happy New Year from The Lime!!!!!!!
First and foremost I want to thank God for bringing me into this new year, I want to thank my family and friends for their love and support especially my brother Omari Lockhart AKA 5.8 and my mom Jacinta Bannis. Thanks to everyone who reads this site and continue to compliment me on the content.
Blogging takes up ALOT of my time and there are times I just want to quit. And then I go online and look for Caribbean entertainment news and shit is just all over the place. Then I think if I am this fustrated then I bet there are others just like me, so of course being the Taurus that I am, I like to help -and so I keep on posting.
This is going to be my first year blogging as a non-working university student so please show some love and donate to the site. I would love to make some upgrades in the coming months. This year I plan on posting interviews on a weekly basis, so look out for that. And I want to make a more concerted effort to report more entertaiment news from islands such as Grenada, St. vincent and St. Lucia. My original goal with this blog was to show that Caribbean Entertainment is not just Jamaica, Trinidad and Barbados. Dominica you know I represent for you 100 percent. I just wish Dominican artists would take advantage of my natural bias towards you guys and send me more info/pics what have you. We'll see how this year goes.
Friends, just be safe this year, and try to improve on 2009. I have the same personal resolution I have every year but this year I am not even gonna really focus on it. I am just gonna live one day at a time and things will work out.
And artists stop the beefing, especially the women. Just when the fellas dem stop den?
Shaggy and Friends: I Dare You-The Caring Continues
Through last year's concert, The Shaggy Make A Difference Foundation was able to raise and purchase over $20 million Jamaican dollars worth of equipment for the Bustamante Hospital for Children (the only such facility in the English-speaking Caribbean. The funds were able to purchase an ENT (ear, nose, throat) microscope, Vital Signs Monitors, Volumetric Pumps, four stretchers and a Blood Warmer.

St. Lucia and St. Kitts tie for title of Miss Talented Teen 2010
The historic event took place last evening (Dec. 30) at Carnival Village, where St. Kitts’ Berriscia Byron and Consuelo Dupal of St. Lucia both scored 731.5 points to lay claim to the coveted title.
However, a decision was made for both teenagers to be crowned queens; a decision that did not go down well for most members of the seemingly bewildered packed audience who voiced their disapproval, noting that there should have been a system in place tie-breakers.
While Miss St. Kitts was awarded Best Dress, Miss St. Lucia won the awards for Best Talent and Best Production. However, although the decision was already made for the winner of the Best Talent segment, the audience was given the opportunity of voting by text for the contestant they thought was the best, and Miss St. Kitts won 63 percent of the votes.
The Second Runner-up position went Ackelia Cornwall of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, who amassed a total of 704.5 points; while Miss St. Thomas, USVI, Caprisha Richards, copped the Third Runner-up spot with 701.5 points.
Miss Grenada, Deirdre Greenidge, was named Miss Photogenic and she also won the Best Interview award, while Barbados’ representative Ashlee Simpson carted off the award for Best Ambassadorial Wear. The other contestants were Miss Trinidad and Tobago, Miss Bahamas, Miss Anguilla and Miss St. Croix.
However, despite being advertised weeks before the Pageant, the BVI and Guyana were not represented for reasons not known by this media house. Many patrons claimed that although Berrisca Byron might not have been outstanding in all of the judged segments, she was very consistent in every one.
A notable public figure in St. Kitts, on the condition of anonymity, said, “In any competition, the judges’ decision is final, but I am appalled at the outcome of this Pageant.
This competition is in its 30th year and the organisers should have a clause in their rules for tied positions. What should have been done, is that the two first place contestants should have been made to reappear on stage and asked a particular question and the one with the better answer be crowned queen. However, in the employment of this tie-breaker, the second contestant should be placed in an area where she cannot hear the question or the answer given by her counterpart.”

New Music: Stephen McGregor-"Cyan Friend Again"
Well here is a new one for ya!
It's called Cyaan Friend Again and it's by Stephen Di Genius McGregor, who sings on and produced the song. It's a diss to Vybz Kartel. Why??? Well apparently Kartel wanted the Outbreak Riddim for Gaza and obviously that did not happen as Busy Signal, Mavado, Assassin, Laden and Bramma are on it. So then Kartel diss him on the Israel Riddim with his tune "Rifle Shot" which is a diss to both Mavado's song "War Is In Di Air" (pre-peace concert of course) and Big Ship too. So now Stephen come with "Cyaan Friend Me" in reponse to Kartel.
Uugh can we just make good music already????? No wonder Mr. Vegas was venting over the state of the Jamaican music industry on his Twitter page @MrVegasMusic. But that is a whole other post....

Spice Disses Lisa Hyper---ya she lyrically slaughtered her, straight up!!!
OOOO Lisa Hype you picked the wrong itch to fuck wid. Spice totally killed her- lyrically speaking of course. Spice released a statement in response to Lisa Hype's "Sting Aftermath" diss song on which she along with other female Dancehall artists are mentioned,
Spice says:
"Lisa Hype, I mean Lisa Swipe is in no position to utter the words she did from her mouth, but I honestly feel very sorry for her. She's going through a shameful time in her life right now and is obviously lookingfor a dark hole to stick her head in. Lisa Swipe is calling names to keep her name out there; but my name? She ah play wid fire. She know say she nuh bad like mi likkle fingah. Di time she tek ah pick pon difemale artiste dem, she need fi go clean off di discharge offah harstomach. She ah gwaan like ah me tek har pictuh an sen' it out. And it's such a pity. Outta every female artiste name whe she call, she ahdi crawniest one. She feavah Geico lizard. I've been in the business for 10 years and I've never stooped so low, just to get highlighted.But Lisa doesn't know when to stop stooping and get up off her knees.It's tragic. Let me not bother to go there because she is not in my world. Lisa, as a woman-to-woman, I have never been as humiliated asyou are in my life, so I have no idea what you are going through. I canonly imagine. So I wish you a speedy recovery,"
Speaking of her non-performance at Sting, she adds:
"Nuffy sabotaged my thing. After Pamputae performed, he knew it should have been me, but he called up General B instead. When did he expect meto perform after that? During the clash with him and KipRich. It was unprofessional and it was done purposely because before that he was following the lineup and list. I just want to apologise to my fans fornot performing. I didn't get the chance to and I had a real end of year performance in store."
Yow this chune is bad!
According to one876 entertainment Lisa Hyper just laughed in response:
"Spice can stay de gwaan talk, tell her say mi have her file."
Well Lisa Hype have to come real good to beat that and she have to have a hefty file cabinet!!!!
Come on ladies, let's play nice in the new year...Wednesday, December 30, 2009
Lisa Hyper says she still got love for Portmore Empire. Disses females in the game
“I’ve just been released from my contract with the Portmore Empire but even though I am no longer the first lady of the Gaza, mi still ah say Gaza. Death before dishonour. Mi nuh haffi be a part of the Empire fi still say Gaza. Gaza means fight for what you believe in and never give up…never say die. In every setback, there is an opportunity fi grow and right now, mi not going to stop, ah persistence mi say…all mi name change, my new name is Lisa HYPER. As a solo artist, mi can explore new directions, new challenges, and new freedoms, mi ah go mek it. I want to thank everyone at Portmore Empire for the love and support they’ve shown me and to the Teacha especially who enlightened me to nuff tings inna the world. Mi love everybody same way, nothing no change, memba say mi ah the first lady fi put Gaza pon mi knuckles and Empire pon mi neck . Mi wish everybody the best. Gaza fi life. Gaza till death.”
Guess she just trying to go out with her head up. But her diss of several artists in the idustry just totally countered that. It's a lame song. Not lyrically captivating. Whoever is advising her need to come again. There are people on your side Lisa, focus on you and don't try to bring any body else down just because people did it to you. If you want to bother to listen to the song called "Sting Aftermath" check it out below:

Concert organizers say Rihanna does not have to tone down for Dubai
The Daily Mirror reported on Sunday that the Barbadan singer had been told to dress more conservatively for her concert in the UAE and that the star was now “tearing her hair out over what to do”.
It also reported that Rihanna is being paid $500,000 (Dh1.85 million) for the concert.
In a statement, organisers Flash rubbished the claims, saying ‘‘the facts and figures recently reported around Rihanna’s Abu Dhabi concert are totally inaccurate. Rihanna is bringing an incredible new stage show to the capital and there’s no doubt the event will be fantastic; an ideal way to celebrate the beginning of a new decade.”
Abu Dhabi has recently hosted concerts from international artists including The Killers, Aerosmith and Beyonce, all of whom performed their concerts without restrictions.

Guess she can be as bad as she wants to be huh.

Lisa Hype Kicked Out of Portmore Empire
Lisa Hype is no longer a part of the Portmore Empire. The members of the Empire
have unanimously agreed to end our professional relationship especially in light
of certain ‘developments’ that have come to our attention regarding her overall
conduct, conduct that is not consistent with the decorum expected of a member of
the Portmore Empire. She is an incredible artist and we wish for her all the
best in her future endeavors, but Lisa Hype will not play a future role in the
Empire as she no longer fits in with our organizational goals as we move forward
in 2010.–Adidja “Vybz Kartel” Palmer–
Ok.let me go an get my enamel pan for me to empty the contents of my stomach. Oh wait but first I have to light my kerosene lamp, and I was so tired from washing in de river (sigh). Why I didn’t hear dat at high noon nuh when I was by de standpipe collecting water. Did I go back in time???? I must be hallucinating, have to be. This cannot be 2009, almost 2010.
That statement, that amalgamation of words which yet to form a complete thought (cause that is what a sentence supposed to do) just makes NO SENSE to me…..Empire CEO???? Empire finger pointer more like. How about turning that finger on yourself nuh? How about that CEO? I so vex for this gurl eh. Shayt. So she messed up. Even Nike sticking it out with Tiger.
So I had to read and reread the statement, you know, so it could make some kind of sense to me, right. The release says her “overall conduct” was “not consistent” with what is expected of the group members. Group members who oversaw and directed her career up to this point.
So let’s see admitting that yes you had oral sex (which I mean what else could she do the picture is all up and down the Internet)and being unapologetic about it, is not consistent with the group goals? Who plans on being caught like that? Maybe her’s was not the most PC move, but I felt she was being strong. You know why? Cause she was HONEST. She was an adult, doing adult things and she was obviously betrayed by someone she trusted. I commend her for claiming her part in what is an obviously embarrassing moment in her career.
I mean let’s forget that Vybz Kartel the CEO is banned from performing in several islands, lets forget that his lyrics are raunchy and sexually explicit not to mention violent, ooh oooh lets even close our eyes and pretend that we don’t see school children all over the region carrying out violent acts described in his songs, let’s find a similar situation where a member of the empire got bad press and see what was the outcome.
How about when it was rumored that Jeffery Hype had Kartel's name on his neck (he has his face on his arm). In the homophobic Jamaican society, that was a big scandal and was he banned?austracized? no. You know why? Cause he has a penis. That’s the beginning and end of it.
I’m sorry Lisa you missing a very important appendage and having it in your mouth doesn’t count ( ok thatwas a little harsh). Anyways my girl Lisa what can I say, maybe they kicking you to a brighter future.
So let them have their Vybz Rum and party at Asylum every Thursday, make more explicit songs, glamourizing their sexual exploits, glorifying their underdog status and
2010 is just a couple days away so I am waiting with baited breath for the unfolding of the goals of the Portmore Empire. Damn, guess I can forget an interview now huh?
Nhojj makes history as first black male winner of OUT Outstanding R&B Soul Song of the Year!!!
Read about it in this Billboard Article:
Indie recording artist Nhojj made OUTMusic Awards history when his ballad “Love” was voted 2009 Outstanding R&B/Soul Song of the Year by The Alliance of LGBT Recording Artists & Performers. This marks the first time an African American male has won an OMA. The Logo sponsored event was held December 8, 2009, at the legendary Webster Hall in New York City. It is the biggest night in LGBT entertainment, and the only gala ceremony of its kind in the world.Read the rest of the Billboard Article HERE!
Nhojj is also the first artist to win the OUTStanding R&B/Soul song of the year. OUTMusic added this and other categories to the ceremony this year to more fully reflect the music of the LGBT community. After his win, the singer/songwriter took the stage performing “Love” before an audience including OMA Lifetime Achievement recipient Kevin Aviance, Village Voice columnist Michael Musto, LOGO personalities DeMarco Majors and Julie Goldman among many other notables in the LGBT community. The ceremony was hosted by Noah’s Arc star Rodney Chester and GLAAD Media Award winner Kate Clinton.“Love” features keyboardist Carl Evans (Stevie Wonder, Barry White); David Stark on Guitar (Rick James & Teena Marie); Tommy Aros on percussion (Luis Miguel); and is mastered by by Robert Honablue, whose Gold and Platinum credits include Santana, Roberta Flack, Aretha Franklin, Bob Marley, and Miles Davis.
Director Kirk Shannon-Butts featured "Love" in his highly acclaimed Indie film "Blueprint,” which screened at 2008 Cannes International Film Festival, and also directed the music video “Love.” Unlike many current R&B music videos, it is the sensitive reflection of two male college students who feel a mutual attraction toward each other. "I believe love is for everyone... homosexual and heterosexual" Nhojj says, "One day soon our world will acknowledge this simple truth."
Congrats to Nhojj on this historical achievement. His music is truly all-embracing and quite soothing to the soul! Here take a look and listen.

Rihanna worried about what to wear in Dubai??? Seriously?
She had that issue in Malaysia before and I would hate to think that her staff did not have a clue about the potential for some type of censorship in an Islamic state. So sorry,I am not jumping posting bullshit band wagon just cause someone said so. Rihanna can’t be THAT dumb. Peace!
