he was tryin 2 teach a boy how 2 shoot a gun, the bullet hit the gas tank on the side of the house, the house exsplode, his mother was inside so he went to go get his mother and never came out...neither of them...sad he wouldnt or couldnt live without his mother.
tenor saw was killed over music and some other reggae artist was involved and nitty gritty tenor saw friend knew what happen and tried to deal with it and he was shot and killed by one of the artist who was involved with tenor saw killing and we all know who killed nitty gritty. tenor wasn't hit by a car he was beaten and dumped in a field where he died
since we were stolen from our homeland...black people have made a trend of holding each other back and killing each other...wether you are from America...Jamaica...doesnt really matter where you're from. its sad but true and i pray that one day in the future things change for us
Too much gaza and gully BS lyrics these days. Need some more of the foundation lyrics. Many of the killing is due to people living like "crab in a barrel". So much talented artist being taken away.
I am a jamaican and I agree with the above comment. I would like to reiterate Jamaicans are EXTREMELY JEALOUS OF EACH OTHER ESPECIALLY IF THEY THINK YOU ARE BETTER-OFF THEN THEY ARE - THAT''S EVIL.. LIVE AND LET LIVE.
biggie-tupac. im good. watch they will take me away too? watch! but watch never scared. like martin malcolm x. nat. turnar. let jah arise & all his enemys scater. you can only live once you can only die twice. remember that.
Nitty Gritty went to Super Power Record store on Church avenue between Utica and east 49 street, him and Super Cat had an argument,he pulled a gun and squeez the trigga at Super Cat but the gun stick, then Super Cat pull his gun and shot Nitty Gritty killing him.
BTW it was Supercat who killed Nitty Gritty to set that record straight too. He fired on Supercat first and Supercat returned shots killing him. Self Defense thats why he wasnt charged either.
pt4 fell right on the ground after a hail of bullets. So goes the trade tho. I knew everyone involved including Derrick. (who was never charged for the death). So if yuh waan know ah who kill de man ah it dat. Mystery solved. R.I.P. Tenor Saw (but coke will fuck you up and thats how it goes when you tek man fi fool) now stop from starting rumors and check de truth.
pt3 You can still request his death cert from Houston to see what Im saying is true. Anyhow, I can call names now because Field Marshall Derrick is now dead too. Killed by the feds for coke. He was in a burger king parking lot trying to sell fake coke to an undercover police and when the police was in the car Derrick decided to rob him instead and put a gun to the polices head. Out from the other cars of police watching came police who filled Derrick full of holes and he fell out of his BMW
pt 2 Tenor was so messed up on coke he had to be reminded to take his clothes off before showering because he had gotten in the shower a few times with his clothes on. He ended up owing more than he could pay and wasnt able to pay for his habit. Which in time got him killed. When he was found dead he was in the middle of the road (not a field) He was walking across the street with his laundry and was struck by a car (Field Marshall Derricks car) Clothes were all over the street along with Saw
ok lets set the record straight! too much rumors going around. Tenor Saw was killed in Houston Tx by a fellow Jamaican. He was in H town and was very addicted to coke and got involved with another jamaican who was at the time a huge coke dealer named Field Marshall Derrick. At the time he was staying with the brother to field marshall derrick. Tenor was staying with him for an extended period of time.
people hear many a thing through the grape vine....i heard he was suppose to do a show that night, but was looking for some cocaine before he a went on, the men in charge the show hook him up at his hotel room and had they security watch him and who he with in his room...before show suppose to start, appearntly saw was too mash off the coke or just wanted more, and appearntly try to dash, word is guys found him and beat him up real bad, and leave him in field where he die overnight frm injuries
@baydough100 - yes, I heard the same thing that Tenor was found in a field but he was brutally murdered, head severed by being dragged by a vehicle. I was around 19 at the time when I heard this so I reckon it was racists in Texas. Now I am hearing different that it was another artist involved but why are people so wicked against their own through jealousy, rivalry? Its such a shame but RIP Tenor you was a genius and your music lives on
Perhaps Jamaican reggae but not the reggae coming from the virgin islands that's where reggae is at it's best nowadays. Just listen to Midnite and Taj Weekes nobody from Jamaica is even close to them.
It's not what the artist do in his personal life . But it's all about the message he bring to others . An he will be remembered in the book of life . Selah
@moomjooendi2007 I lived in TX and tried to find out what happened. Nothing can be found on micro-film in the libraries. Very strange that nothing was printed. Just think about it, Jamaican in Houston, TX with his bombaclot attitude, Those rednecks didnt like that and killed him. Hit him with a car and left on the side of the road. Tenor was known to be a hot head and have a bad attitude.
them lotsa rumors going around for years. the more years go by the more details lose.
many think super cat killed him, some think he was killed in houston, some think las vegas, many think he was killed in car crash.
i was told by someone from way back that tenor saw was found in a field, "beatup" and shot, maybe in head or something, texas / houston i dont know for sure....was about money and respect most of all
RIP all them artist that pass on. and jah bless everyone and everything
Why can’t Jamaican come together and fight this crime on Jamaica, why so many funding and donation going to other country but Jamaican can’t finding the need to tackle this problem in their own country.Jamaicans will be slowly killed over the years.These are death that’s reported to the media; keep in mind that the reporting does't include accidental death, missing person or shooting by police…Also you should notice that 95% of the murder is by gun.!
why jamaicans always killing off their artist,this is a trend that neva stop since early eightys,is it jealousy ?tenor saw,nitty gritty,panhead,garnett silk,dirtsman,and many,many more they have taken away from the world--thats why reggae has gone to the trash--live an love and forgive brothers,its not right to take people life and jamaican culture always brag about this and then they turn around and try to spread rasta culture , what hypocrites
@dancehallmann Actually mate, most who preach rasta cuture and live the lifestyle do not get involved in the gun crime and the coke culture that blights the world. Mighty Diamonnds Heptones Culture The Late Great Bob Marley Freddy McGreggor to name a few.
@professorgriff Izzitt?? I'm assuming that they are/were recreational users as opposed to smugglers/dealers who have the need to brandish guns, spread hate and badbwoy image which brings down reggae. Their coke culture has not blighted reggae (assuming that you are correct in your statement)
@professorgriff Izzitt?? The gun crime and coke culture that leads to brandishing gun, spreading the message of hate and the badbwoy image I do not associate with recreational users of cocaine. Not all cocaine users shoot people and bring down reggae music.
@dancehallmann ..Garrison 'kultur'...Dons raise up singas MC's promote,carry them fi di studio..den put the sting pon dem...haffi carri coke up fi USA/UK..
yuh name out nuff victim auf di renkin 'business'... +Junjo Lawes 1979..+ Risto Benji 2011...no factory inna Ja mek gun nor ammo...die gun start flow fi JA since 1970's...dutti politrix open di gate,then coke juggling kick di gate off..
Gregory Issaccs voice it all>> 'black a kill black.'.1978...
@dancehallmann One hell of a Generalization huh? Hypocrites? Kinda offended, because I don't spread rasta culture or brag about killing. I am Jamaican and I don't take kindly to being called a Hypocrite
@dancehallmann the controllers/ powers that think they Be like to silence the truth speakers who inspire the people...iI amsure you understand what a really gwaan so... nuff said xxxx 1love 2all
@dancehallmann just a few corrections---->"thats why reggae has gone to the trash"<---thats why reggae has gone to the fucking dog shits, kartel just to name one.
