  1. I'm trying to categorise here. I grew on these tunes but if you really get deep into reggae, it's easy to get lost. I've got so much shit from different eras. Pro tip, check DC++ and Soulseek, they're still gems for hard to find bits and a lot of the shit is well organised into folders as standard.
  2. Man like Garnett Silk. Gone too soon. Tunes like these kept the spirit of reggae in the 90s, they'd bust and get a response from every section of society. ^ This one got a big, big forward at World Clash 1994 in Sanctuary from what I remember. Timestamped. The forward this got, along with a few other tunes like Kingly Character were ridiculous. In a dance where nuff man a pose off with gun and let off shots, these tunes were a necessary reminder of the power of goodness. Cleanheart business.
  3. Edit, yes it was this tune. Must have been a promo - heard this on a tape Rodigan played from 1999. Dug out an old boombox yesterday.
  4. Baby Wayne, one of the most innovative lyricists to ever bust from Portmore specifically and Jamaica generally. Vybz Kartel patterned off of him heavy. A mix of new style flows and social commentary, observations on the perils of badman life, storytelling, intelligent lyricism and stylistic innovation. Dizzee Rascal did this well also. Powerman breaks it down a little in this: Original Stone Love, Chiney Brush, Irish Moss and Mash wokkaman special. "Bout dem haunted, kill man and get wanted/ Yuh tink me response fi dem?/ A nuh lawyer business" Guys like Baby Wayne caught heat from the young shottas for this, but the commentary was needed. Consequences are reality.
  5. Repost as link went down. Louie Culture - real ol' gangalee. Original militant Rastaman sinting, Sizzla x Louie Culture.. "We a bwoy we have we tings, and yet still we flex cool/ Jah seh no mek nuh wicked tek yuh fi nuh footstool/" - Kalonji >>>> Big, big, big riddim track. Real Boglist business. Colin Fatta production.
  6. Defo mixed. Didn't clock back in the day, them Mancunian Quadroonians.
  7. This doesn't make any sense. Trump supporter doesn't mean anti-Black. Definitely not if he's married to her.
  8. You should try 5HTP or melatonin supplements. Also CBD is good.
  9. Bally is coming back. Bally X Swizz Beats ^ Missed the J. Cole marketing, but they're going for hip-hoppers hard. These were the OG. Super low drop, usually paired with big airy linen trousers. Original Jugglers drop:
  10. You're creating an argument. This isn't AJ vs RT. This isn't 'gang shit'. I don't need third-party websites to evaluate sources and neither should you. I'm obviously aware of the RT angle but you'll find RT's reporting has been so successful as they've offered a degree of balance over Syria (against the media weight of America/Europe/Arab channels all toeing the same line) that is largely unmatched. Crosstalk is a great example. I assess bias on a case-by-case basis, and in this case there isn't much room for Russia to lie about anything. Are you alleging that Israel shot down the jet, which is what your analogy implies?
  11. Reposted @Restrictive's link, wicked footage. Missed this exhibition at the V&A, but they've got some nice collections: This is a pretty dope instagram, they get some nice throwback pics. https://www.instagram.com/ruffnecksrudeboysrollups/ Some pics from their exhibition, also missed it.
  12. You clearly lack the ability to assess sources. If I had posted a Haaretz video saying that Syria (an enemy) had downed a Russian (enemy) jet it would have more likely been biased. The fact that RT have admitted that Syria (an ally) downed their own plane means I can trust the story.
  13. https://syria.liveuamap.com/ I had it in my clipboard. Post the livemap link if anything, don't give AJ any more credit. I wasn't being being racist (insert the term dirty/snakey/slimey/slippery and it fits) and Qatar is still home to enough thinktanks to still have a horse in the race. Regardless of whether their material support has stopped - Qatar is a media/propaganda hub.
  14. https://www.rt.com/news/438686-syria-russia-s200-il20/
  15. @Admin. Graphics from AJLabs - yeah they definitely haven't got a horse in the race. I would be highly critical of anything coming from Al Jazeera or any Doha based think-tanks when it comes to this conflict. Greasy Qataris. This has been a fairly open proxy war since Russia's intervention in the conflict. All the 'rebel' groups have had major support from Gulf states and the west.
  16. Everyone wants us to believe my guy (Paul something, Kigame?) is corrupt. I don't buy it.
  17. This chick would be an amazing president.
  18. Talks a lot of stuff. Napa stuff comes up at around 20:00 mins.
  19. Agree with bolded. Italics, not so much. You listened to the Infinite album?
