I noticed the infobox code wasn't closed correctly, I've corrected that 31.192.102.58 (talk) 12:48, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
Well, it still isn't right, and hasn't been for some time 174.73.22.113 (talk) 21:20, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
vybz kartel started to attend calabar high school in 1987 in grade 7 at the age of 12. Also the all music source is incorrect (just in case you didnt know all music is a bio database that is compiled from people sending in information to them, so its not all that perfect). I wish I could contact Cliff Hughes (owner of this station http://www.nationwidenewsnetwork.com/) to get the video interview where kartel stated his age to Emily Crooks (that he was born january 1975). If any of you dedicated wiki workers/fans could do that for me I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.27.16.115 (talk) 17:07, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
Just wanted to say that this is the best reggae-artist page on Wiki I've seen so far. :)
I love the page and I think that the clean up tag is uncalled for. However, I did notice a mistake at the bottom of the page in the "international collaborations" section. I own the CD "Fire and Glory" by Kardinal Offishall and the correct name of the song that Vybz Kartel appears on is "E.G.G. (Everybody Gone Gangsta)" not "Everybody Gangsta" - J Dogg
well....consitering that bobby put him on, im surprised that he is not credited, vybz has wild tapes out with him, and real need to respect the real, not fakes like kartel. from tapes that came out before 97. ask about it. know the real history.
this page isn't that great. there isn;t that many sources, or proper facts.198.102.103.18 00:53, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
“ | In the early morning hours of 27 December 2003, Vybz Kartel took the stage at Sting prepared for musical battle. After performing a string of his more popular hits from earlier in the year Kartel launched into a musical assault of his most deadly 'badman chunes', designed to get the crowd firmly in his corner. | ” |
Someone might want to add a section on the controversy over some of his lyrics where he endorses killings gays and lesbians. The quote below was taken from this website: http://www.petertatchell.net/popmusic/mobos2004.htm "Vybz Kartel sings “lesbians and queers must be assassinated” in his song Bedroom Slaughteration. Another track, Guns Like Mine, boasts that he “puts a bullet in a queer’s spine”."Carniv 19:46, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
Wow, it's hard to be that unintelligible. 62.49.219.171 (talk) 10:42, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

It is factual. Vybez is part of dancehall slackness movement that promotes hate to gays (and not only that - similar "values") and even it has not become media attractive it is contraversial.
I would like to point that Vybez is no reggae artist - dancehall mightbe considered as offspring generally (digital relation to early dancehall reggae), but when it comes to message, its more similar to gangsta rap in its worst form. Rasvoja (talk) 19:53, 15 June 2015 (UTC) it comes to message, its more similar
While it is great that the article is in depth, it does seem somewhat subjective due to the lack of sources and unbalanced due to the focus on feuding rather than music. It need citations per Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:Cite sources. It would be great if his style could be described, possibly through cited quotes. Hyacinth (talk) 23:40, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
Why did they take down the portmore empire section. 72.27.148.66 (talk) 01:00, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Seriously, its full of pot holes and dead ends. I have, myself tried to clean it up; but tis hard when I know not much on VYBZ. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.69.5.90 (talk) 12:18, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
Who wrote this stultifying propaganda? The whole thing reads like promotional material for Kartel, putting him on a pedestal and ignoring his misdemeanours. For instance, why is there hardly any information regarding the controversy over his allegedly homophobic lyrics, and why have the accusations of misogyny made against him been eschewed altogether? Surely Wikipedia should be an objective source of information, not a tool for asserting your own agenda. And as if that wasn't bad enough, the article is also very poorly written, with little attention paid to details like grammar and punctuation. Come on, people, surely were all capable of producing better material than this garbage. I've tried cleaning it up myself, but I sometimes feel as though that's just too much of a gargantuan task. --Heslopian (talk) 01:32, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I just cleaned up the external links section of this article in accordance with our guidelines and there were a few reliable sources in there which could be used to build up the article if anybody wants to. I've listed them below.
Vybes Kartel is being sought by the JA police as a "major person of interest" in the Coke extradition case.

sorry for ruining the page, but i tried to add a picture for vybz kartel, so if someone could kindly sort that out i would be very grateful. Thanks . —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.71.120.55 (talk) 16:59, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
Just a reminder YouTube and Amazon are not proper links for citation. That includes video links to sites such as irishandchin.com. Citations must be verifiable, written sources. Links to blogs are not the greatest sources, either, but still preferable to YouTube. Thanks --Chimino (talk) 03:15, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
