Round 1: NO Elimination


Supersonic: starts the clash with "Politics Time" by Buju, receving a likkle forward, then Bob Andy combo with Marcia Griffits, then they start the speeches against Troopa (ready on the other consolle, but he nah care bout dem). Good forwards on "Give Praises" and "Serve Jah" by Luciano, "Earth a Run Red" of Richie Spice mash up the place. The massive follow dem forwarding dem jugglin on doctor's darling riddim, then Chuck Fenda's "A Fi Win" and "I Swear", Ras Shiloh "Unto Zion" receive also a good forward, then Sizzla "Got It Rated" and close with Gentleman's "Superior". They have some technical problems with the consolle, and the tweeters of the system sucked till the end of the 2nd round (on tha same consolle will be One Love Hi Pawa). Anyway a very good round, they are the sound from Germany and people understand it cause there're a lot of fans for dem (critical ting for the final judgment).

Ricky Trooper: starts as usually with "What A Day" by Tanya Stephens changed into "tonight some pussyhole get a shot inna dem face..." with a lot of clashing speechs. Then a Candyman and Shinehead "take ur time soundbwoy..." on Billy Jean riddim and he comes in the front of the consolle talkin bout he's a one man sound and all the sounds inna di clash have someone to help the mc and the selecta. He plays a counteraction vs Supersonic "Earth A Run Red - dancehall a run red" (very regular) with his "everything dead", the chune takes a big forward. Maybe cause the cds sucked, or maybe cause he didn't know that models he has big trouble for all the clash with the cd players. He calls One Love "pussy dead" and ask to Freddy where he found his battyman friends (the help dj... a real eediot). His silekshan continues with Morgan Heritage's "Liberation", Junior Byles, Sizzla's "Got It Right There" and the end foward on Anthony B "Plant The Corn" talkin about the ganjasmokers. Troopa is the classic bigman on the mic, the best mc of the night fi sure, but not the best on the consolle.... he really needs a selecta and this is clear.

One Love: KingDavid asks to turn off the lights and leave only one on him: "The Goodfather's Theme" as usual, and the place is burned by the lightas (check the videos); Buju "Champion" has a the first forward of the segment, then Junior Kelly, Natty King, 2 I Wayne, Bascom x and Chesidek. Clava, that will change the mic with David for all night long, seh to Troopa that he's bored to kill him weekly, asking him wid the Capleton's dub "who do u think u are..." on hard times. Dem have the same problems of Supersonic for the technical stuff, and this compromise some big tunes like Jah Cure, Capleton, Jah Mali and Glen Washington his that don't receive the forward that dem need. So, One Love Golden Hen anthems juglin: Burro, Bounty, Capleton, that mashed up the place, closing with Perfect (but the massive no need dem...). A good segment, damaged by audio troubles, and with a lot of tunes already killed by the warm up by Soundplex.

Freddy Krueger: He starts with the first flop cause Dr Ring Ding (the host) call him Ricky... no comments... Freddy has really problems with the cd player and turntables but in this case it's because he don't know how to use dem and his "selecta" never stayed behind a consolle...He starts with the ARP "the lion sleep tonight", then Chuck Fenda "O My Lord"... he try a selection on Doctor's Darling including "Night Nurse" by Gregory but he takes his first booos with first glasses on the consolle. The only forward is "Mafia" by Lloyd Parks and the medley "Ganjasmoke/Bloodstrain" by Ward 21... he make confusion with the cd and play back "Superior" by Gentleman already played by Supersonic, he tries "Rise Again" by Seeed (n1 ragga band from Germany) but the crowd dislike it, and we cannot listen "Dem Gone" by Gentleman cause there're too many boooos.... DEAD!
