can yall recomend me some classic reggae tunes please, ive got a hard drive full of hip hop n dnb, would really like some reggae. so if you dont mind. thanks.
yes, pressure drop is a wicked song. but just so i can be a anal prick, i need to mention that it aint reggae, its ska. second wave. now, reggae tunes. perhaps not classics according to popular belief, but defo for me: black uhuru - youths of eglinton bob marley - burning and looting max romeo - one step forward junior marvin - police and thieves Linton Kwesi Johnson - blood song lee scratch perry - dreadlocks in moonlight Yabby you & horace andy - undivided world susan cadogan - do it baby sister nancy - bam bam < samebassline as ring the alarm! bad brains - i and i survive. Jonny Clarke - rebel soldier i'll stop now, coz my list of classics could consume the whole board. let me know if you want more.
hah! yes, thats a good one too. listen to Big Youth's version: "screaming target" also, forgot Eek a mouse - ganja smuggling
!!! check out Supercat for more like hip hop ish ish but really this is roots n culture seen!! best LP evar
heres some i love. sanchez - frenzy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M06ULV7BPek eek-a-mouse - ganja smugglin http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyEwTM0n04c barrington levi - here i come http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYnpuyXNcGM
ni**a please! this aint even an LP. its a post humus compilation... Its jokes man, Legend is proper reggae stereotype. every guy i talk to about reggae, goes "yeah, i LOVE reggae, you know bob marley ? that legend album is great"... bob's best lp imo is small axe. damn, im getting well nerdy...need a joint..
No worries... But you know that guam one was a joke right... I hate it if someone went and spent money on that after me saying that...
i checked for pato banton n found a tune called gwarn though. i thought you just spelt it wrong, lol.
yeah I maybe did, must've been over 10 years ago that it came out... Remeber Pato Banton? Proper shit cheesy reggae-pop, did that one and "Baby come back" (probably name wrong again)
toots and the maytals = sick. Stephen Marley's lp is sick, Mind Control. Not really classic, but still sick. Eek a Mouse stuff is good. Police in Hellicopter obviously is a brilliant tune [youtube]hkiiwqqx-Sw[/youtube] Can't access youtube in work, so googled it. Dunno if it works or not Here's the link just in case: http://youtube.com/?v=hkiiwqqx-Sw This just in case: http://m.youtube.com/details?v=hkiiwqqx-Sw&client=mv-google&locale=en_US
i think this is a grey area of reggae. police in helicopters was originally sung by john holt. there might have been a eek a mouse version as well, but the song got famous by the Holt version. [youtube]HMGCbgpIf3E[/youtube]
