[rascricket]

Ha, ha....Jus testin the waters, actually...Curious to see if there's anyone else around here interested in that vibe........ Tell the truth, I've just finished a SOLID One Drop & Dancehall CD and I'm wonderin' how big is the audience!!
So if ya luv it or hate it I'd love to know....

I love it. I attend every party featuring reggae music. I had a reggae/ska band, btw.

Sean Paul

 

[rony31]

I hate Sean Paul and lots of other Reggae music... I dont know if Shaggy and Snow count as Reggae, but I HOPE THEY BURN!!!

 

[Shindig]

Thats a bit harsh.

Reggae's okay. I mean, even The Clash pulled it off!

LOL.....SNOW!! That dude ripped-off a guy by the name of Eek-A-Mouse...He like stole his whole gig>>lyrics and style

Kinda funny and I break my arm pattin' myself but I was writin Dancehall lyrics/raps a few years before No Doubt did a Dancehall tune OR Sean Paul came along.....

Tell you guys what, those brothahs from Jamaica>> the way they rap and their amount of lyrical talent FAR FAR FAR outshines the Gansta mentality crap in this country...IM TALKIN SKILLS BRO!!
Those Jamaican DJ's (rappers) put US guys to shame! IT SO LAUGHABLE cuz guys here think they've got it goin' on...If you dont beleive me ask yourself if you've heard enough of both to make an OPINION....Skills...Its just so funny----Ifyoulike rap andreally wnat to see skill and not like P- DIDDY hype, check the DJ stylee!!

Inner Circle
Toots & The Maytals
Sly & Robbie - Instrumental dub
Burning Spear
Black Uhuru
Third World
Steel Pulse
Culture

Dancehall:

Shabba Ranks
Shaggy - He's ok but sounds like Shabba
Pato Banton
Eek-A-Mouse
Dr. Ring-Ding - my favorite!

Rock/Reggae:

The Clash
Sublime
Bad Brains
Human Rights
The Skoidats - punk/reggae/ska
The Pilfers
Skif Dank

Ska:

The Skatalites - originators of ska - will see them live at the end of May

The Agents
Skavoovie - jazzy ska
The Specials
Hepcat - lead singer plays the blind guy on the tv show Becker

The list goes on and on.

No matter how bad of a mood I'm in, I put on some reggae, light one up, and immediately start feeling better!

Peace. Rastafari.

Bob Marley i quite like some of his music! Recently i setup a reggae forum at Pulsace (www.pulsace.co.uk) but unfortunately there's not really a great interest in it, doesn't seem nearly as popular as the other genre's

 

[rascricket]

That forum sound cool--I'll have to check it out.....But damn, thats too bad

Youll get a kick outta this, bro. My X-girlfriend went to India (Dahrmsala) to see the Dali Lama with a small group. When she got there, alot of the monks at the monastary were singin'

"Woy-yo-yo......Woy-yo-yo-yo....etc"

Yeah, Bob's music was I-ternational!

 

[hermolt]

My Dad loves it and I can cruise along after skinning one up - my friend sent me a French Reggae/Ska Box set which I rather enjoy, got some really good tunes on it..

 

[rascricket]

Yeah, they're doin cool stuff with Reggae in France. Its like matured into a poppy-not-quite-techno but electronic feel, huh? Not like roots Jamaican, which of course is awesome, Its more its own thing. Its fresh and pretty cool....it seems Reggae is more widely played there, but where is it not compared to the States?

The stuff I've had hasn't been to techno-ish, but yeh, reggae is listened to a fair bit in France, especially in the South. There seems to be a good community in Angers, which ain't too far from Paris IIRC. If you want to chat to a real reggae head in France, give me a PM. He can speak English fairly well.

 

[Mishkin]

Reggae is cool. I like a lot of Bob Marley's music. Also the song Bad Boys from Cops is a good song.

 

[Gerrard 17]

I love French ragga

I wish I understood any of it but that's another story

Soundkail- Racaille Sound System... very good album.

Any Ragga reccomendations? French or non french, doesn't matter.

I like Dancehall like Bounty Killer...


Ben... give me that guy's addy or something.

 

[BYE BYE FIFA.]

Sizzla, Beenieman

The laydeez: TANYA STEPHENS, LADY SAW CECILE

Anyone into their Jungle Vibes?

What's the difference between ska and reggae ?
