reggae heads

^yea thats it. after brad died, they agreed to make music again as long as no hard drugs were involved and it ended up fucking LBDAS too.

 

P.O.D. with H.R. (BAD BRAINS!)

'Without Jah, Nothin''

one of my favorite songs ever just because H.R. is the shit

(disclaimer: this has reggae in it but it starts with a little hardcore so if you dont like hard music, wait till a few seconds into the song)

also an awesome song:

Jimmy Cliff 'The Harder They Come'

Bob Marley - Punky Reggae Party https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFnh_Eq650Q
Peter Tosh - Bush Doctor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvOrMXlouQM
Damian Marley ft Nas - Road to Zion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mmAuHieD7Q

Damian and Nas gonna drop an album this year should be tight

 

why is reggae these days so heavily influenced by pop and rap? it makes me a sad panda.

 

Lol imo reggae is a combination of rap and rock good lyrics with smooth beats thats the way I see and just because Damian Marley doesnt try to be like his father and does his own style doesnt mean its a bad thing

 

I can dig that Damien does his own thing, I just don't like that dancehall/ hardcore sound. Plus, it seems a little fake for him to be acting like he grew up on the mean streets... He grew up filthy rich. Nice sig, King. I bet you he's still alive. Whatcha think?

 

Lol Damian doesnt act like he grew up on the meant streets he sings songs about opression against his people and struggle that they gone through overall. If anyone trying to be gangster its Ky-mani but ye i dig his music. Lol Pac might be alive but i doubt it, I think suge knight had him killed being the bitch he is

 

sure, there's lots of popular songs with reggae or dancehall influences that are poppy and made for the masses

but there's a lot of roots and toasting still going on

one of my favorite groups of all time

Katchafire 'seriously'

and


Katchafire 'frisk me down'

He's had more albums after his 'death' than before...

 

he's like jesus - he died then came back and went platinum

 

matisyahu is the best hands down.

 

I was surprised that I had to read through 7 pages before Slightly Stoopid was mentioned.

speaking of kymani marley has anyone seen "shottas". that movie is a trip.

"ya kill me gyal"

 

I'm not a big fan of reggae, but I love its precursor. The Skatelites are one of the best bands to grace the ska scene.

 

i just want to clarify that reggae is a very broad genre. so, some sub-genres will use pop and hip hop flavor.
