search for "steel pulse chinese restaurant, atlanta" . its them in 1982 playing inside a chinese takeaway. incredible.
I was talking about people that like reggae not only for the music, but for the message... those people can't say they like both Reggae and gangsta dancehallBaron_von_Carlton wrote:"Gangsta Dancehall" as you call it has been around since the 1980's, ain't nothing new about it. Now i agree some of the lyrics are abhorrent but your comment "No one that really likes reggae and the ideas of reggae music can like gangsta dancehall ... it's a contradiction " is complete and utter nonesense. Try telling that to David Rodigan, a man who has supported Jamaican music since the 1960's. He plays some of the dirtiest Dancehall around. I love all styles of Jamaican music whether it be Ska/Rocksteady or "Gangsta Dancehall" You don't have to believe the lyrics of such music to enjoy it. I am neither a violent misogynist homophobe or a Rasta but i still enjoy Reggae and Dancehall.RaposaNegra wrote:Firky wrote:Most Dancehall is shit, you're right. Homophobic misogynistic crap.

Yeah I mean the roots dancehall is cool but this new Gangsta Dancehall is ruining reggae and it's against everything that Bob and the other reggae artists fight for...
