Around the time Rick »Teflon Don« Ross went down to Jamaica to introduce his »Maybach Music« dancehall artist Magazeen to the yardie crowd, Beenie Man went on radio to tell the people that being a performer with a law enforcement background don’t really work out in JA:
You’re a cop and an artist? That don’t work out in Jamaica. You got cop artists, but they do that talent show shit. They don’t come out on the street because niggas in Jamaica, once they find out you’re a cop and you’re on-stage, that means you’re vulnerable. And you know what I mean, there gonna be bottles, stones, oranges, apples, all that shit. [...]

Sad Rumours spread fast today
me hear say Gregory just passed away
the Stranger In Town, Mr Music Man
it’s Sad To Know You’re Leaving hope you reach the Promised Land
the Hotstepper trying to Cool Down The Pace
now it’s Mr. Isaacs, the late and the great
Tune In cos Wailing Rudie’s Top Ten
Turn Down The Lights let the Lover’s Rock rock dem
Party In The Slum, Let’s Dance, One more time
cos there’s only Universal Tribulation, Down The Line
Far Beyond The Valley its a Hard Road To Travel
Objection Overruled, as the judge bangs his gavel
now the Sinner Man sings Set The Captives Free
no more Lonely Teardrops below the Willow Tree
another legend takes his last breath
there’s No Speech, No Language to express
