Blunt Posse took the cup.
In de stukken die ik heb gehoord vond ik mightcrown beter. Maar weet natuurlijk niet hoe de vibe in de zaal was

Hier is een runndown van dhr.com

Yo, bigup everyone, said way. Been missing some reports and stuff recently, but me dehya again. Early warm was done by Soundplex Movements, from Long Island, and Body Rock, from The Bronx. After some early technical difficulties with the sound, things went smoothly and the clash got started at about 1:30am.

First Round (30 Minutes)
BP began the clash with gunz a blazing ... They came to war, no questions asked. Blunt opened up the dance with Ajax making some speeches about Bronx, telling Crown Blunt is the King of New York. They opened up the dance with some wiicked selection of tunes on the Maroon riddim. They played Sizzla on it, as well as a Richie Spice/Spanner Banner combo and had the dance running red from the very first round. It was obvious that Blunt Posse had nufff support in the dance, and that Mighty Crown needed to have come ready if they wanted to kill Blunt. Blunt played a lot of dubs from Richie Spice in the first round, and they juggled some riddims that are not typically juggled in clashes these days, which seemed to have been embraced by the crowd. It was obvious that Blunt's people were there and were pulling for them, but their performance in the first round was exceptional. They played a nice selection of dubs on Massive B's version of Truth and Rights, including a custom built Choppa Chop for Mighty Crown and got another big forward. They played Maxi Priest, Sizzla, T.O.K. on the Drop Leaf, as well as a combo from Luciano/Sizzla. They played Turbulence, as well as a few dubs from Shabba and others on the Peenie Peenie riddim. Overall, a WICKED 30 minutes from Blunt Posse, from end to end. I think it was one of the best 30 minutes rounds I have heard in a long time.

First Round (30 Minutes)
Crown opens up the dance with some speech, and he gets some lukewarm response from the crowd. Blunt clearly has an advantage, but Crown's fan are there. As far as playing is concerned, Crown did not come close to Blunt's performance. They played very regular dubs on the Hypocrites, and their Babatunde selection that they STOLE FROM SOUNDPLEX MOVEMENTS (more on that later). They got some forwards here and there, including a good one for their Ranking Joe/Nicodemus combo. A decent round, overall, but not close to what Blunt Posse did. The rounds were not judged, so there was no "official" winner of any round, but if there had been a vote, Blunt would have undoubtedly won it. Not too much needs to be said about Crown's first round. It was good, but not close to Blunt.


2nd Round (15 Minutes)
Blunt opened up the second round pretty much where they left off the first. Ajax may have gotten one or two boos for some loose speech, but those went away. Blunt had the support of the crowd, and juggled some more regular riddims in this round. Kutchie, Love Punaany Bad, etc. Blunt played a bunch of combos in this round from Sizzla/Kartel, to Cocoa Tea/Cobra, to Bounty/Buju. The Kartel/Sizzla combos got huge forwards. Blunt was killing Crown, no doubt about it. They ended the round with Bounty Killer on the Taxi "Soundboy, let me tell you this straight ..." and collected a huge forward. They also played a custom built Rally Bop (a Bronx artist) dissing Crown and got a wicked response for that, also.

2nd Round (15 Minutes)
Crown came in and did not put in a good performance. Their biggest forward came at the beginning of the round when Sammy T made a talk responding to Ajax saying something about Sumo wrestler ... He said to be a sumo, you need to be over 200LBS, and he is not, but Fada Blunt would make the perfect Sumo wrestler. After that, they got a few forwards for some regular dubs from Sammy Dread (M16), Johnny Osbourne (Rock A Dub), Beres Hammond (One Dance), etc. They played more regular Mighty Crown dubs, nothing new, nothing unexpected. The crowd was not feeling it, and Crown got some more boos in the round. Not impressive at all. Again, not official winner of the round declared, but for the second round in a row, it was Blunt, no doubt.


3rd Round (15 Minutes)
This round, Blunt was pretty creative and got one of the biggest forwards for the night. They put on a bit of a skit and flattened the dance. Before Ajax began talking, an Asian man with a Chef Apron and a plastic bag came on the stage. Ajax asked him what was up, he said he was from some restaurant and that he had a delivery. He said he had this to deliver to Blunt Posse, and it was a custom built Beenie Man dubplate on the Junkanoo riddim, which we found out after Ajax played it. He also said he had Pork Fried rice for Chin, who Ajax was calling out and dissing up for the entire night. The place went wiiiiiild. That was the best part of the dance. They played some more dancehall dubs on Applause and kept doing what they were doing. They played Welcome to Jamrock, as well as some other dubs on the riddim Bounty Killer (Poor People Cry), and Buju Banton (Fast Lane). This was another solid round for Blunt.

3rd Round (15 Minutes)
MC began their 3rd round with Jimmy Cliff and Jah Cure. They got some pretty good forwards for them. They went into a bit of hip hop selection and got a good forward for Akon's "Ghetto" on dub. They played Lil John and a couple other dubs from their hip hop collection, but nothing very noteworthy. This was not very good for Crown, they were dying. Blunt Posse was up three, zero in most people's eyes.

Round 4 (10 Minutes)
In this round, Blunt kept on getting their crowd support and did their thing, once again. Another very good round which featured some dubs on the Fresh riddim. The biggest forward of the round, and one of the biggest of the night came when Blunt played a custom built Yellowman dissing Mighty Crown. The lyrics of the tune itself did not even come in before the place went wild and Ajax pulled it up. The intro alone done Mighty Crown, it pretty much signaled their burial.

Round 4 (10 Minutes)
Sammy T took the mic and told Ajax to leave Chin alone, because he is not clashing him. Mighty Crown then played some dubs that we are used to hearing, but not from them. They played Luciano's "Gone Bad a Morning" that I usually hear from Poison Dart (FL). They also got some scattered small forwards for Freddy McGreggor dubs and Culture. They kept on talking about the fact that nobody knows Blunt and that they travel every week, etc. They played Wayne Wonder, Bounty Killer combo which said "Nobody is calling your name" and got their best forward of the round, which was still small. Not a very good round. In my eyes, it was 4-0 Blunt, CLEAN SWEEP and no need for a dub fi dub.

Dub fi Dub (11 Dubs Each)

Alright, here is what happened. A couple times during the night, Ajax said Mighty Crown was not Japanese and they were Chinese. When Ajax was playing his first tune in the dub fi dub, which sounded like it was going to be Ras Shiloh's "Are You Satisfied," Sammy T, for some reason, stopped the dub. In Ajax's intro, he made a reference to Sammy T and something to do with "Chinese." I do not know if this was related to him pulling up Ajax's tune, but he did, and Ajax and he were very upset. They ALMOST came to blows, but security and a bunch of other people came up on stage and sorted everything out. It took maybe 15 minutes or so to sort everything out. Blunt refused to play the dub fi dub because they felt disrespected by Mighty Crown. They did, however, eventually agree to play the dub fi dub .....

First tune, Blunt Played Max Romeo's "I Chase The Devil," Crown played Jr. Mervin "Cool Out Son." Crown got the bigger forward.

Second tune, blunt played Bob Andy, Marcia Griffiths combo "I knew we'd meet for a clash ..." crown played courtney melody "Ninja Me Ninja." Blunt got the bigger forward.

Third tune, Blunt played Abysinnians, they got the bigger forward, don't know what Mighty Crown played (Blunt leads 2-1)

Fourth tune, blunt played fred locks, crown played jimmy cliff. They both got boos, so I call it a tie.

Fifth tune, blunt played dobby dobson, crown played dennis brown, crown got the bigger forward (tied 2-2)

Sixth tune, Blunt played George Nooks "Blunt Posse is the General" and Crown counteracted it with "Soundboy tonight is your funeral." (Crown leads 3-2)

Seventh tune, Blunt played URoy "Long time we a call you," Crown played Gregory Isaacs "Number 1 Sound." Crown got the bigger forward (Crown leads 4-2)

Eigth tune, Blunt played Horace Andy "skylarking," crown played scion success "done dead already." Crown got the bigger forward (Crown leads 5-2).

Ajax came on the mic and said that the Scion was a 45 and that he wants Mighty Crown to play it for the people to prove to them that it is a dub. He was very adamant that the tune was a 45 and that it did not say Mighty Crown during the song itself. Ajax claimed the song was a 45. Crown seemed very reluctant to play the song again, which made a lot of people suspect it really was a 45. After the clash, Sammy T told me he wanted to finish the dub fi dub, then, afterwards, play the dub and prove to everyone that it really is a dub. Crown finally agreed to play the dub for everyone to hear, but they wanted Ajax to agree to the stipulation that if the dub said "Mighty Crown" during the song, that Blunt would lock off. Ajax did not agree. Crown played the dub, and it played for about a minute or so. EVERYONE in the dance was listening very carefully, and eventually Scion said "Mighty Crown" during the dub itself. As soon as that happened, the place ERUPTED and everyone was digging off Simon and Sammy's fists, seemingly very happy for them.

Simon then said that Blunt is supposed to lock off, while Ajax changed his accusation from the tune being a 45 to it being a splice, which I think are two different things. Anyway, after this, Mighty Crown packed up their dubs and went outside of the club, while Blunt was inside complaining and carrying on, basically being mad at the promoter for not declaring them the winners, since Crown took off.

After the clash, it was said that Tony Screw (the owner of Downbeat) said that the Scion Success dub was a splice. He had nothing to do with the clash, but obviously, as a respected elder in the business, his opinion means a lot. It should also mean a lot that he is good friends with Blunt, though. Anyway, Mighty Crown went outside of the venue, seemingly waiting for a ride for maybe 15 minutes or more, and me and my crew left.

Yet another dance in NYC in which a winner is not declared. One thing is for sure, though, maybe Ajax did take away what should have been a victory for Blunt, but Blunt earned my ratings tonight. I definitely agree with my brethren skallawa, in that the new selector, Diamond, might be a missing piece for the sound. Blunt really impressed me tonight.

I do think that biasness in dances these days is getting a bit out of hand, though. I mean, it was so obvious all night that Blunt had their fans who would not support Crown, and that Crown had their fans that would not support Blunt. However, Blunt's performance and selection was far superior to Mighty Crown's, and they deserved the win. In my eyes, Blunt won the clash. I would liken the outcome of this clash to a boxer beating an opponent for 11 rounds, but letting the opponent land one punch, and that punch causing the fight to end in a draw. That is pretty much what I saw.

Bigup CTHUG, skallawa, skye, skerrit, and the other boardies that were in attendance. Once I go to sleep and wake up, I will publish my pictures on my website, www.soundplexmovements.com, hopefully, CTHUG won't ban me for that plug (mek me eat a food, brethren).

Bigup to Crown and Blunt.

Bless

(Mighty Moke)
