Reggea

[tigermb]

I hear many ppl speakin about rock. How's the opion on reggea in here?
And who is the best reggea artist.
I think peter tosh is.

[Rastafari]

reggae is awesome! Quite a few members here, myself included, love reggae!

Peter Tosh is solid, probably my favorite as well. I'm really listening to a lot more dub, now, because Cani is the devil!
Augustus Pablo is good.

Steel Pulse is pretty good for Roots Reggae, as well



edit: Decided I'd replace "Reggea" with "Reggae," "dbu" with "dub," and "roost" with "roots"
cheers!

Rege is the best spelling of it, though. Thanks, big red!

[El Brujo]

Im into skinhead reggae, mostly. Symarip, Desmond Dekker, Lord Creator, Derrik Morgan, The Viceroys, etc.

i thought the whole skinhead thing goes against the reggae flow


i like reggaw alot , mainly just marley and a lil tosh

[canikickit]

Where did you come up with that label, "Skinhead Reggae", El Brujo?
Those artists are just reggae, man. :)
Although I've never heard of Symarip.

I pretty much listen to no other music.

Never forget - for every good reggae song, there's a good dub song. My personal favourites being the extended versions. One album worth checking out is Blood and fire's issue of Linval Thompson's "Ride on Dreadlocks". Each song is an extended version. "Twelve Tribes of Israel" being an outstanding track.

[celtopunk]

Yeah I like reggae. Although I don't care for the dancehall stuff that I seem to hear a lot of these days. I guess when it comes to reggae I'm more of a traditionalist.

Hey has anybody heard the Johnny Cash/Joe Strummer version of "Redemption Song"? Pretty cool!

[Knowledge 6 6 6]

Reggae is amazing!!

As most know (including Rastafari) I'm one of the biggest Bob Marley fans ever. I know there's alotta good guys that came before him, that never got as much recognition, such as Desmond Dekker the original father of ska.

But Bob is still cools, amazing lyrics and an amazing mind. Simply amazing.

Yeah, I dont care for dancehall, i think it has gone back on what reggae originally was meant for...and that was a political message from the people to those in power.

:)

[canikickit]

Nah man, reggae was originally about having some fun and making some money.

:D

[dirtyd6969]

ohhhhh i thought by skinhead you meant the aryans that i always seem to have gathering in my home state of idaho

[Mano Dayak]

reggae is, after Russian rock, the best music ever.

[Urban Rubble]

Just what I was thinking.

[Comrade Ceausescu]

I enjoy a lot of it like Marley,Tosh,and Beenie Man and a few similar artists i enjoy a few songs.Also,I know the reggae "purists"will knock me for this but I think Sean Paul is cool,but I understand he dosen't represesnt the best of the dancehall culture.

You're one to talk. Dub is the biggest money-making scheme of the 20th century. MC Hammer wasn't the first one to sell the exact same song twice to some idiotic fools. No, this shit began long ago. Lee Perry is the biggest fraud since Milli Vanilli

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Scratch Perry, well, he was just born a schemer. Don't get Cani started about him though...

Midnight to six man
For the first time from Jamaica
Dillinger and Leroy Smart
Delroy Wilson, your cool operator

Ken Boothe for UK pop reggae
With backing bands sound systems
And if they've got anything to say
There's many black ears here to listen

the clash love it too

[Rastafari]

hey man, good to see you back for a while. I just finished my last exam, and I can fly away.

I'm on a big Clash Kick right now. Last month it was the doors, now its the clash. hmm

[Zombie]

REGGAE, its REGGAE, not REGGEA.... argh

[guevara-marley]

i really really really love reggae!!as you could read in my name (guevara-MARLEY) is Robert Nesta Marley my favourite reggae artist!i love his lifestyle, his way to live, his opinions about the world and everything he did for the black people and the whole world!!

i really love him!he helped me through a very hard time...
do you know www.thirdfield.com? it's very interesting there!

teté

[SgtPepper369]

Everyone download the album Dub Side of the Moon. I'm pretty sure you can all tell what it is.

[FatFreeMilk]

Reggae is one big mystery to me. I don't hear it that often but what I do hear I enjoy very much , like I can't get enough of it :D ( I don't know the names of any artists besides like ziggy and bob) Can someone hook me up with the name of a good mix so I can have something new to listen to, puleez :)

[canikickit]

You can download an hour and nineteen minutes of reggae here (http://frankieg.412dnb.com/).

What do you mean I'm one to talk? You're agreeing with me. One of the reasons for dub music was the fact that the musicians wouldn't have to be paid twice for two tunes, the same recordings could be utilitised many times.

If you are suggesting that "Skanking Easy" and "Skanking Dub" (by Augustus Pablo) are "the exact same song", I'm afriad you are gravely mistaken.

I don't know why Lee Perry is the biggest fraud "since" those guys when he was around before them. I also don't see how he is a fraud, in this context a least.

I am one to talk.

[Rastafari]

simmer down, my dodo

its all in good fun, right?

[canikickit]

No.

[Rastafari]

"We sing of freedom and equality
but we really don't care we just want money money money"

[canikickit]

"Money money money,
is the root of all evil"

Horace Andy - Money Money.

"Mr. Money Man lots of sufferers chasing you and if they lay their hands on you,
they're bound to crucify you Mr Money man,
oh-oh-oh Mr. Money Man keep on running with your blood dunza,
keep on running with your twenty dollar bill, keep on chasing all over the hill
oh yeah, oh yeah
in our days of going to school, you taught us like a bunch of fool
you told us how the cow jumped over moon and the dish ran away with the spoon
now Mr. Money Man take off to your money, you'll never need your dish or your spoon"

I LOVE reggae.
Its pretty much all I listen to.

My current favorite is Sizzla. He is the BIGGEST thing in reggae at the moment.
There is so much social theory in his lyrics.

[Naija]

^^^^ some of his lyrics

[Urban Rubble]

Dear God Cani, from a reggae coniseur like yourself this is suprising.

The skinhead movement originated in Jamaica in early 60's. Originally the term rudie and rude boy were basically synonyms for skinhead and baldhead. All the big ska bands were involved in the rudie lifestyle, most prominently, Desmond Dekker. Gradually, working class punk rockers in England adopted the same music and fashion due to the influx of Jamaican immigrants. The modern skinhead was born.

I think by skinhead music he means the later 60's and early 70's ska bands (like Symparip). Dekker and Derrick Morgan were just rudie ska.

As for Symarip, I think they're English. You'd probably love the song "Skinhead Moonstomp".

[Rastafari]

in our days of going to school, you taught us like a bunch of fool
you told us how the cow jumped over moon and the dish ran away with the spoon
now Mr. Money Man take off to your money, you'll never need your dish or your spoon

first you came and you sold us christianity
but all the members just lust after vanity...

it's all good in the end

I know all that shit man, I'd just never heard this "skinhead reggae" label before.
Personally I'd just call it reggae, rocksteady or ska depending on the actual rhythm.

YEAH! Here are some fantastic lyrics from Sizzla:

"if she diss selassie, she know me slap her up
if she diss emmanuel, me slap her up
if she diss marcus garvey, me slap her up"

[Politrickian]

me like ska much
Reggae bit less, but me guess it's alright

[Rastafari]

YEAH! Here are some fantastic lyrics from Sizzla:

"if she diss selassie, she know me slap her up
if she diss emmanuel, me slap her up
if she diss marcus garvey, me slap her up"

God Bless the Rastafarians and their many progresses in Women's Rights!

I wasn't trying to patronize you Cani, just explainnig for some of our less informed Comrades here. Me still wub woo. :wub:

That's cool man, but the "skinhead reggae" term technically means that late 60s organ heavy reggae, especially that reggae with "skinhead" in the title or lyrics ("Skinhead Girl" "Skinhead Moonstomp" "Skinhead Train" "Skinhead, A Message to You"). Of course, a lotta skins call any music of Jamaican origin that they listen to reggae, even if it isn't. And yeah, skinhead reggae is just reggae, but that's like saying that hardcore is punk rock. Yeah it is, but it's a specific kind of punk.

I love him like 2x as much.

[El Brujo]

Urban and Rob say it as it is. Skinhead reggae is to reggae as oi! or hc is to punk.

BTW, I am in a (skinhead) reggae band. We might be playing some shows around febuary if anybody in the so cal area is interested.

[Rob]

What's your band called, Brujo?

[El Brujo]

We haven't come up with a name yet but were playing covers of The Rudies, King Horror and the GG Allstars as well as some original sttuff my friend wrote.
