[@Mayday25]

I’m from the Uk and there’s no way I would have paid those prices to see Kartel even if he was here in the UK never mind booking flight to Jamaica and those extra costs I don’t think many Jamaicans understand that foreign people are having it hard. The cost of living in the US and Uk right now is crazy. People are barely surviving. Christmas and NY parties here in the UK were very quiet. As Jai mentioned if you wanted to see Kartel, you would wait and see him at Wireless which no way will be Freedom street prices. I watched the concert online and I personally don’t think it was value for money. Obviously I wasn’t there in person so my review maybe is bias. But, even if I paid the bleachers price I would have been disappointed. I think majority of the shows performances came across quite amateur. The promotors are not living in the real world and clearly not in tuned with what is going on economically worldwide. People are struggling! Here in the UK our last GDP has 0 growth. The tickets should have been priced affordably and aimed at ghetto people which is kartel base. Btw I prefer this co host!

[@MrMan27417]

Yeah facts , the price they were charging for livestream should have been price for bleachers . £35 or whether it was .

Horrible sound clarity and quality for everyone who isn't Vybz Kartel. No working earpieces because everything that needed to be communicated on stage needed to be said by one person walking on stage and saying it into another person's ear. Standing on stage asking where an artist is, not as a type of callup but literally having no idea where they are- that's a stage management issue.

“Let’s be logical”: if you have a big show, and you decide to keep it while you are still recovering (still drinking and smoking) how you expect to give the audience your 💯. Performance was weak but he did deliver on 3+ hours. Also, we need to stop moving the goal post. If it was any other artist, we would’ve outright called this a flop show \performance. I think he should’ve allowed more time to get better, and all stay off media and clubs to build anticipation especially with these prices. Can’t only blame the producers, kartel wanted a hefty sum for his first show and he spoke it on ER that it would be and PPl would need to sell their possessions. You started to see this being retracted to save face when they realize tickets weren’t being sold. Also, for kartel and the producers to try and make false promises to hint that drake and other big names will be there to get people out was nasty work! So all in all I would say the show was a flop because they flop themselves. Happy new year 🎊

Show neva flop. People came out and had a good time. Kartel performed right through the show. All the artists who performed showed out. We knew Kartel wasn’t going to DJ word for word realistically. For all we know American artists could’ve planned to go but things changed.. either way it was never about Drake and Nicki and Rihanna coming. The stage could’ve been worked better by the artists but lesson learned and hopefully would be better next time. Overall Kartel gave the people what they came for. And all this talk about ticket prices and free tickets… yall do realize all these artists who tour give away free tickets? Alll the radio stations giving away tickets where yall think that come from? Shawn giving away tickets shouldn’t be looked at as wrong.. like seriously. Kartel gave the opportunity for cheaper tickets bc people asked for that and he understood. There are artists who charge 300usd minimum for tickets. Kartel IS a legend. A $150 ticket isn’t crazy. It’s simple.. Everybody can’t afford everything and that is ok! Watch the show on stream then! Show was full enough where i don’t think it was a loss. & i think it needs to be a festival every December.. maybe even 2 days. Good show, big up Kartel and all who played a part in putting this on!

[@Annarebel99]

Shenseea needed 100 managers and labels to have her name called in the same sentence as spice so please stop comparing her to a legend who is self made and did it alone. Shenseea hand had to be held her entire career sir. Shenseea could never run her own career by herself. Spice buss before the social media era and she’s still here.

[@ramarwint3919]

Facts, no comparison. Rn shenseea will never reach Spice level!!! Shen do all of the antics and she still can’t sell records. Spice is true talent, shenseea is a pretty face and she won’t last as long as Spice

[@KnowledgeHieghts-xo6yl]

Two of them are pride people so you can

[@U11111-u]

lol 😂😂😂Spice need fe take a page out of Shenseea book and get herself a good stylist because her outfits no look good

[@Annarebel99]

@ Spice don’t need a stylist. Stylist or not she has the money that shenseea has to share up with 100 man before it reaches her and millions in label debt that no one wants.

[@willjohn4286]

Promoters basically out priced his core fan base . The business of music they should’ve easily seen what the other major shows were charging and go from there . Affordable tickets for his core fan base would’ve ram up the whole stadium

Jaii still have less video with more views overall and on average. Let's be honest slap unno wid facts, alkaline pass kartel 🤣

[@omarmarthluck2087]

This Freedom street is the biggest and most successful event in Jamaica's history. All the performers were well received. Plus the patrons enjoy himself. 9/10 me give it

[@MissKelsey796]

I would say Bob Marley’s concert where he had the politicians on stage was the most successful event.

[@Shysta30]

Buju show was bigger and better, Kartel fans don't have money fi spend

[@strawdemindset]

You must not go to much shows in ja

[@damioncoore1627]

​@@Shysta30 no, they delusional. Buju got way bigger crowd with less artist...

[@mainereacts]

Delusional it flop

[@DiedrePersaud]

Kartel or Kartel and his team are very out of touch with reality. How could they charge so much knowing that he is not in the best physical state to perform. Secondly, the prices. His fan base is mostly poor people so they cannot afford the tickets. He’s lucky that foreigners were able to fly down. Then the lack of a band left a sour taste in my mouth. You have people spending all that money just to sing over a track like some regular stage show?? Smhhh.

[@Onedon-n4n]

He did give them time to sell them body parts 😂😂

[@jamdungXgyal876]

I loved the show, I gave it a 9. I was an online free watcher. It was clear proper bandwidth wasn't obtained. The feed scattered when he first entered the stage like crazy. I minus 1 for the organization of the artists, things seemed freestyle at certain moments for the flow. I felt like random people were getting a 3 minutes of fame who shouldn't have ie. Ishawna and a next random girl at the end. I felt there were more artists who we wanted to see who came on stage late who should have been apart of the main lineup ie Tommy Lee. It started off professional with an empty stage for only him and the person who was getting a highlight then it turned into a mob once Poppy and 1law arrived and it never cleared back out. The most organized set was the gyal chune era. I danced and sang like crazy. Busta rhymes had the best clarity and energy to me. Kartel prefers using a dj so the band arguement is invalid. I only wished they had backup vocals for him since he forgot alot of lyrics. Which goes into they didn't do a proper lineup for the song order. They mismanaged alotted breaks for Kartel or he didn't capitalize on them properly. When artists that he didn't have songs with came on like Busta and Shatta wale, he should have took a water break. I appreciated him giving his sons some shine. The show ended prematurely.

[@MissKelsey796]

This was a great synopsis. I agree with majority of your points.

[@alphaseeker8136]

6/10 flop, couldn't full stadium, overrated artiste 🤣

[@jam4vr]

RESPECT to Jaii for being HONEST. He is RIGHT about the cost of going to Shows in Jamaica. I went to the Marley Brothers show in NC and paid less than $40. Why are we paying North of $100 in Jamaica?

[@Thats-is-it]

Look at this …Jaii and his cohost not arguing haha. New year indeed 😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Patricexx22]

You guys found some good things to say about it. It was average very weak performance from most. Bounty was the strongest performer who brought the hypest energy and presence. Everything else was semi embarrassing. I didn’t see one freedom street billboard anywhere around the island

[@dahrealist8942]

Show was s 7/10 for me. The gaza artists needed more practice yup Sheba and Spice did it for the females. Russian stay home next time please with Indu. There was a misuse of resources because that stage was unnecessary because Kartel who the people spent all that money to see stayed one place.

No one else who went would give the show below 7/10. And the show was packed despite the high ticket price. Big up Kartel 🔥

[@chevaneesethompson4250]

Is either you can afford it or you can't. Ticket price was fine. You guys want to small up the man thing. The event was a success. The podcast is becoming a flop

Bro start hating a lot when him see the fix get the interview n him nuh get it, a lot negative coming from the podcast ever since once the topic is kartel

[@damioncoore1627]

So you nuh hear all the credits, big ups and países the man gave to kartel? You brain just automatically switched to thinking that because he didn't get an interview his opinio is biased?

[@millrock78]

It was a good show, however Sasco show was more impressive when it comes to organization and Performance.

[@Siringles]

1. The concert never stream properly. 2. The production did slack because Kartel never did a perform him song them good. 3. It would better if him did have a front and center stage - not a 360 stage - 4. Him should a take the time and go sleep , rest and come back. Instead of going to clubs etc.

[@westkingston3135]

NOW I SEE WHY PEOPLE HATE THIS YOUTH..THE MAN NEGATIVE AGAINST JAMAICA IF IT NO REACH NORTH AMERICAN STANDARD. 46THOUSAND IS A FLOP BRO ?? MEK YUH SO WICKED JAIIS

[@Entouragee-bd2uv]

Did I expect more? Yes! But I was realistic Drake, Nicki, and Cardi for FREE on the night they can literally charge the MOST would be close to impossible. If Kartel had picked a mutual date it would have been SOLD out.

[@omarmarthluck2087]

Jai the best way to find out it the show go on good is to ask HIS FANS. CANT EXPECT NON FANS TO SAY ANYTHING POSITIVE. AFTER ALL THE SHOW WAS FOR HIS FANS SO ASK THEM

[@dominikkvaughan8928]

To be honest, this statement was flawed because us as now a days fans are too die hard where if the artists do wrongs, we find ways to justify them even without the artists doing it for themselves. The show was iiight. Giving all the circumstances surrounding the main act I lowered my expectations so I wouldn't sound like the many others patrons who were dissatisfied. It was definitely not a flop though.

[@RealestGuyInTheRoom-]

Vybz Kartel put on a good show last night fi sum1 who up inna age and nuh too tan good again! Very good for the culture. I am glad no fights or anything bad went wrong. I hope Vybz gets some rest and prepares for a better performance next time. This was just the start!

[@GoGetter-vl2kq]

I agree to a certain extent because the moment I flew in every one I spoke to keep complaining about the price but really wanted to go. The price is one of the reason why the stadium wasn’t full

If you think overseas promoters/publishers and potential business partners watch noise and hype u make a sad mistake... they're looking for execution. Let's say ur a promoter outside of the diaspora and you heard about Kartel and wanted to book him for an event, after watching last nights performance . would you still be interested?

I don't think it matters if the show was full or not, you can have many bodies somewhere at one time and no vibe a few bodies and it's full of vibes, so that shouldn't be the concern, it should be about the performances and the experience your getting. I don't go somewhere for people, I go for myself, but anyways...
