Beenie Man is at it again.
In an interview published in the latest issue of Riddim Magazine, Beenie bashes <SPAN class=kLink style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400; COLOR: blue! important; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; POSITION: relative">Baby</SPAN> Cham, Elephant Man, Dave Kelly and of course Bounty Killer.
He also addressed a number of controversial issues surrounding him, his music and relationship with other artistes.
The magazine at first criticises Beenie's latest Virgin effort, Undisputed saying it is "not as brilliant as Many Moods Of Moses (VP Records)", then they delved into the first and most obvious issue: 'Why was We Set The Trend/Trendsetter not a part of his <SPAN class=kLink style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400; COLOR: blue! important; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; POSITION: relative">new </SPAN><SPAN class=kLink style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400; COLOR: blue! important; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; POSITION: relative">album</SPAN>?'
In addressing this question, Beenie said, "Dave Kelly and Baby Cham were a little bit scared about the song, so they sent lawyers up on us - they're cowards."
Ghetto fairy-tale
Beenie also spoke of Cham, saying everything he sang about in Ghetto Story was untrue.
Cham, now on tour in Japan was unable to comment on the interview. However in a previous interview with THE STAR he addressed Beenie Man's Trends and its similarity to Ghetto Story. It was published in the Wednesday, July 12 edition of the paper.
It quotes Cham as saying: "Him rip off the beat, the melody, the idea, the topic, but at the same time, I know that's him, that's just Moses."
Cham also said Beenie Man's decision to "rip off the song" showed laziness on his part.
"I wouldn't say it's lack of creativity, it's just laziness to me, because it's just easier to ride off someone else's back than to come up with something else," he said.
Cham also said in the article that he has not heard Beenie Man say that Ghetto Story was the inspiration for the song, nor does he expect to hear it.
"Not that I've heard of or looking forward to that either. At the end of the day, you don't need that (thanks)," he said in the article.
Well, one cannot imagine a Beenie interview without him commenting on his greatest rival in music, Bounty Killer. In the interview, Beenie says, "I feel the real reason why Killer is so sad about the thing (between himself and Angel) is because he was with her for ten years and she is with me for like eight months and she's <A class=kLink oncontextmenu="return false;" id=KonaLink2 onmouseover=adlinkMouseOver(event,this,2); style="POSITION: relative; TEXT-DECORATION: underline! important" onclick=adlinkMouseClick(event,
