Hear meh... I eh mean he trying to be like Machel.... or look or sing like him.... I eh mean lyrically either.....
I been to a couple of fetes that he performed along with other acts (not Machel of course) and I swear, he was the only one who really moved the crowd and had us going. I was talking about the vibe, the parties had real vibe when the man was performing, people hurry up for they drinks and girls run out the port-a-potty to see him perform.
So my comparison is about his effect, and I think its growing. Yuh catch wha ah saying?
Believe me I know Machel is #1 and I eh giving nobody else that status just so.
I understand what yuh saying. I didn't mean to imply he trying to be like Machel
I thought you were talking about in the future he might be one of the up and coming stars (like Machel is now), which I just can't see.
To be honest, I've only seen slaughter performed 3 times, so maybe I saw him in bad performances or maybe I was too tight to remember correctly.
But every time I see him perform, his stage prescence was lacking. From what I've seen of him, he really needs to improve his stage performances.
On top of that, the man is put out 1 or 2 quality songs per year MAX, and the rest is be average songs on other people riddim.
I will give him his pips though, the "quality" songs he's bring out is move yuh in a way that's different from other soca songs e.g.2007: spread the love, and 2005: Carnival I love you. Dem tunes is class
Even though I like 2004 "Represent" dat song again on a riddim....he have to stop singing on riddims and make his own music IMO to excel as an artist...
He have real potential though
