  ARCHIVED NEWS: OCTOBER 2002


   
   

27 October, 2002
Reviews: This One - but this particular review is not written by me.

I no longer have a scanner, so updates of Album Covers may be difficult until I have access to another one. Sorry for the inconvenience.

This has to be one of the most rediculous newspaper articles I have ever read. I've included it here just to show everyone how stupid some journalists can be:

Cryptic Letter Tied To Violent Rap Lyrics [October 25, 2002]
A letter left by the snipers behind a Virginia Ponderosa restaurant, the site of one of the non-fatal shootings, contained mysterious markings and what were described as Jamaican colloquialisms. One of the suspects in the sniper killings is from Jamaica. Drawn on the page were five stars, which some investigators thought was a reference to a Jamaican band. But there does not appear to be any Jamaican band named Five Star. The letter also contained the phrase "word is bond."

An Internet search links the phrase to a black militant rap group, Killarmy, a band discovered by Wu-Tang Clan, a favorite in Jamaica. One of their songs, "Five Stars," speaks of "bullets penetrating. Deep like the assassination that almost killed Reagan." The song also mentions snipers. The phrase "word is bond" appears in the group's song "Wake Up." Killarmy has come under fire from critics who have chastised the group's violent message. In many songs, they speak of a racial war and their support for "racial Armageddon." Band members have roles such as "Marksman Assassin of Killarmy" and "Street Specialist Trained in Urban Warfare."

Thanks go out to the "Chicago Sun-Times" for the above piece of rubbish (which by the way can be found at http://www.suntimes.com/output/news/cst-nws-band25.html).

From DJ Catcher: If you're name's Justin Holt, please contact Catcher on wudjcatcher@yahoo.com - there's a problem with your order.

17 October, 2002 (Second Update)
In the interest of having a balanced argument, here's DJ Catcher's viewpoint:

"it is very much a real address i dont know who is startin these rumors? go to mapquest.com and put in the information and you will get the map..., why would i want money sent to an address that doesn't exsist? how would i get the money? it doesnt even make sense. hope this clears it up. "

The guy's got a point. When I receive my copy I'll be able to settle this once and for all. But until then, you guys have to make up your own mind.

IMPORTANT: This has yet to be fully confirmed - but I have been informed that the address where orders are being asked to be sent for the Joe Mafia album, does not exist. Apparently everything from the business name, street name and zip code are all bogus.

But for those (like me) who have sent money. Don't worry - if the address is fake, your mail will bounce and come back to you. For others who had planned on buying the album, just hold back for now until I find out the official word from Catcher himself.
