Agent Sasco Cautions Elephant Man About Giving ‘Nicky Di Thicky,’ No Not His Wife!
Dancehall artiste Elephant Man was billed as the featured guest on Agent Sasco’s Instagram Live show this week, and he provided a quick promo a day before for his appearance. The Energy God delivered a high-powered preview by dropping an iconic line from his single Stop Hitch .
“When mi gi Nicky di ticki, mi thicky in a di nitty-gritty….” Elephant sang but was immediately halted by a perturbed Sasco who jumped in, “No not Nicky enuh not Nicky enuh, no man…!”
Ele initially looked confused but soon burst into laughter after realizing the suggestive bar was cutting things too close for Sasco, whose wife is Nicole McLaren Campbell, aka Nicky.
Fans were also dying with laughter. “Bout Nicky….. Protect yours Sasco,” said one.
Another added, “breda try off a smaddy else not Nicki.”
However, one follower just had to address the elephant in the room, “I’m sorry bro but “Nicky” is the most popular name in dancehall songs’ history.”
Now the gimmicks are over, it was the day of Sasco’s Live show dubbed, Riddim Classics (Sasco vs. Assassin), yesterday and Ele was in full swing and donning his customary colossal bling and a fresh to death outfit.
The hashtag ‘Sacso vs Assassin’ represents a journey spanning over 19 years from the emergence of dancehall artiste Assassin in 2001 to today, the re-invented and fresher Agent Sasco. It’s also the premise for the project where a homebound Sasco revisits some of the most unforgettable riddims that feature his peers during his primal years on the dancehall scene.
The riddim of the moment is Good To Go and one of Elephant Man’s favorite taglines (not to be confused with his Good 2 Go single). Even though the presiding music engineer/disc jockey Agent Sasco, whose real name is Jeffrey Campbell, was battling with iTunes for not listing all the songs on the riddim, the two music veterans patchily found a way to sound off on what can now be considered as some of dancehall’s most classic tracks of all time.
Among the favorites was Bounty Killa’s, Sadda Dem , where Ele and Sasco couldn’t help but poke jokes at Killa’s ever-ingenious intro, “Sexually speaking, these girls be seeking, whether they fat, whether they marger, they gat to come up in this love saga, its Warlord the gal dem babyfadder.”
There was Sizzla Kolunji’s, Fire , which prompted several forwards, then Vybz Kartel’s When Gyal Wah Buddy, which sent the two deejays in a frenzy. Predator’s Nah No Head was also a big hit, as well as the conspicuous alliance of Bounty, Vybz, and Wayne Marshall with their single In My Eyes .
Most definitely, the spotlight shined brightly on their contributions and especially Elephant’s with his two masterpieces Bun Down Dat and Stop Hitch plus Assassin’s Pull Up .
With so many features, they almost forgot Sean Paul, General Degree, Lady Saw, and Bling Dawg ft Lukie D. that all had some of the slickest tracks on the riddim.
As the dancehall troupers stirred laughs with their audience and fully entertained themselves as well, they also dissected the lyrics and styles of all the featured deejays on the riddim, giving some history and background info about the tracks and artistes while showing camaraderie and praises to their fellow dancehall musicians.
So far, the show has had some fantastic guest appearances, including producer Steven ‘Lenky’ Marsden’s feature for the revisit of the Diwali Riddim .
Others include Wayne Marshall and his wife Tami Chin during the show’s feature of the Stepz Riddim for their singles Kingpin and Hyperventilating, respectively along with Jah Snow Cone, the producer for the Applause Riddim and dancehall singer Serani for his voicing on the Unfinished Business Riddim with his hit single No Games.
