Last Man Standing

Here are some interviews with Kartel and Mavado about their impressions of who won the Sting clash.. A whole heap of controversy over this one, with each side claiming there was some shadiness behind the concert setup, bias in print media etc.. Whatever the motivation was, it clearly doesn't help the Gully God's cause to have left the stage in the middle of the clash, even if he did run back in. Kartel was left with 'nuff ammo after: "Nike has a new sneaker coming out, called gully nike / Sure, he would have won if it was a running clash, but it was a singing clash" etc.

I can't find anything but really crappy footage of the clash between Kartel and Mavado, but it's still worth a quick look. These dudes have been sparring for a few months now and managed to keep it lyrical while sharing the same stage at Sting.

Kartel was ready for the war in full army fatigues, and pulling a coffin onstage with 'barber boy' written on it was pretty heavy. It seems the crowd calls the clash for Mavado though.
