I'm around 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:13.440 our school, I'm going around the yard and I'm gonna 0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:15.839 around the chapel, so I have a fit. 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:21.440 Yeah, yeah, So it's a difference. Right. 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:23.280 Let me ask you this is this is a question 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:27.520 I've been wanting to ask somebody for years as a Okay, 0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:29.440 I'm gonna call myself it as a Yankee. 0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:34.760 Yeah right. What is the difference between dancehall and reggae? Answer? 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:38.080 I was really younger people express themselves. Where will get 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:42.560 more sexualized, we get more slangy. Reggae music is where 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:44.440 we speak to the soul. Reggae music is what our 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:48.280 ancestors and our forefathers left with us to keep us 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:49.760 close to the connection to God. 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:51.800 Because this music wasn't given to us by a man. 0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:54.520 This is music was a divine music sent to an 0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:56.800 island of an hundred and father for a square miles. 0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:00.360 With our population at that time, I've nearly won pint 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:05.600 four or five million people. But their struggles and their 0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:09.600 tenacity to withstand these struggles was so much so that 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:12.400 the fire themselves side fitting for them to be blessed 0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:15.640 with their music of their own, to express their ideas 0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:19.520 and ideology and their pin and their praises. And so 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:22.120 Reggae music was borned by the great Starlos. First we 0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:25.080 had to count Machuke, and then we have Kings Titch. 0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:27.000 Big, You you Ride, I Ride. 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:29.640 We have Bob Miley, we have the bit attached to 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:32.800 have the burning spears, and we have countless a group 0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:38.880 of catalyzes, the heptunes, the techniques. We had many great 0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:43.520 style warts who came along who understood the assignment, you 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:46.840 know what I'm saying, And that's why reggae music is 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:52.240 here now because they understood the assignment. Now, we came 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:58.320 along as a later generation of musicians who knew that 0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:01.760 our predecessors unders put the assignment and we needed to 0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:02.839 understand the assignment. 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:06.080 So I see myself as a last last. 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:10.400 Of the more econs, you know, reggae music spear who 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:14.000 come with that old school knowledge, who knows that this 0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:20.200 music must feed my people, educate them, uplift them, eradicate negativity. 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:22.160 From their minds, and allow them to whine at the 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:22.760 same time. 0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:23.760 It's a great. 0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:27.360 So let me just tell you, you know, I live 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:30.920 a bunch of white neighbors, a bunch of white people, 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:33.040 and it's two things I like to do. 0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:38.640 I like to bump reggae music around. They don't get 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:42.080 playing for some reason. You can pump reggae music at 0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:45.760 the highest lack level and it's okay. It's only two 0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:48.640 music you can do that with. It's reggae and South sad. 0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:54.400 That's it's like they won't but it's it's, it's it's 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:56.880 I see the difference, like and I'm I'm bouncing all 0:06:56.920 --> 0:06:59.960 over the place, like when you first entered the game. 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:03.080 And then he became raster and it seems like the 0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:04.640 music became more conscious. 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:09.280 Was that like like I wouldn't say I became. I 0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:11.280 would say I show you who were supposed to be. 0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:15.600 It was always you can't became Okay, you can't become 0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:17.640 some of your aunt because you're going to go back 0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:20.480 to what it was. However, we are supposed to be 0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:23.800 is what we're supposed to be, and we can't change that. However, 0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:27.960 we enter the door, it's just a precursor to get 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:31.280 to her foot into the door, because I see myself 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:38.240 as servant, you know, no, you know, one day my 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:40.520 mom said to me, I think you need to go 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:44.200 live with your father. And after living with my father 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:49.160 for six months, my step mom, out of the blue 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:56.000 decide my school time was twelve o'clock and about I 0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:58.320 think it was ten thirty eleven o'class in de side. 0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:02.120 She wants to send me to the shop. I didn't 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:04.120 know why, but anyway, I took the bag and I 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:07.160 took the money and I went to the door. And 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:13.280 I was walking to the shop and there was a 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:17.800 mango tree in the car park and from Afar I 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:20.920 spoked this mango. It was so red. I kept looking 0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:24.200 at it, and the spirit came to me. I said, 0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:29.840 climb this tree, sit in it, eat this mango. Don't 0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:31.200 come out until you are finished. 0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:35.880 Yes, you know. I put the bag in my pocket 0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:40.400 and I climbed the tree and I ate the mango. 0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:46.040 When I dropped the seed on the ground, a car 0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:50.720 pulled up under the mango tree and the door opened 0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:51.040 and a. 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:54.480 Voice said, juvenile into a clement tiree. 0:08:55.120 --> 0:09:00.360 And I looked down. I said, clod, yeah, clement Ty, 0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:02.640 slide over the tree. 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:05.920 It wasn't three days later until I realized how much cut, 0:09:06.160 --> 0:09:08.480 how much bruise I am on my legs. This was 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:15.800 Chavaron scarlet a tree to one called Clementine. So I 0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:20.800 run to Clementary and I said, you know, Chabar. They 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:23.920 they call me Buck because it was you know, should 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:27.160 maka so to speak. He said, buck bringing wrong from 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:29.880 the back car park. So Marne go back to the 0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:31.959 top car park and sad chavs. I'm saying it was 0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:34.760 drive go on there so we see a big water tongue, 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:39.800 you turn right, not gonna meet your own there, mm hmm. 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:44.120 So I sat there and watched these two enterty and 0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:50.040 as megastars, Chabarroks Clementine talking, you know, and they getting 0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:53.480 ready to go to this this fat and I said 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:58.640 to me, Clementary said to me buck later, and Chabarrange said, no, 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:03.240 bring the soldier. So I sat in a car now 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:07.240 with the driver Chabarras up front, Clementarry there and I 0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:13.079 was over here. Before I went into the car, he 0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:15.280 pulled a bottle of honey and he walked over to 0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:17.920 me and he said, hold this, and I was holding 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:21.480 the cock, and he poured the honey into the cock 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:24.000 and he put his finger into it and put it 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:26.000 around his joint and started smoking. 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:28.800 I said to him, why you do that? He said, 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:30.319 to keep the vice moode. 0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:39.959 I knew right there and then it was a spiritual 0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:45.160 thing because my love for danceland, for Chabarrange super seed. 0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:47.400 So much things. 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:49.320 Because back in the days we had a song system 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:53.320 called road Star, and Roadstar used to play in our community. 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:54.840 And when he played chabarrags. 0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:59.720 It's crazy because you know, when I was growing up, 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:03.440 they were few entertainers who were worthy of my time. 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:07.079 One was Major Worries. To me, Major Worries was a 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:09.880 teacher of all of us. He was so advanced in 0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:15.320 his disposition and his lyrical delivery. And ironically, Liqual Twitch 0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:18.480 was a produce of Major Worries. Admiral Bailey was a 0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:23.319 prodigy at Major Worries. SHABAANX was a prodigy of Major Worries. 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:25.800 And I became a product ye of Melior Worries to 0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:28.720 listening to Major Worries as a real road boy, because 0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:32.480 in Jamaica, in order to do this music, you have 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:33.120 to be firm. 0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:36.120 I got to be about that life basically. 0:11:36.200 --> 0:11:39.319 Yeah. Yeah, it's not about anything else. 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:41.680 But you have to leave your experience and people see 0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:43.439 you know that your experience is not far fetched. 0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:46.240 You didn't create this thing to gain and support. 0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:49.120 But you you are really, this is you.

So 0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:09.160 we're really boys in the thing because my experience was 0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:13.239 basically police brutality, gang warfare. 0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:16.959 You know what I mean, people trying to kill. 0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:19.920 You're trying to defend yourself against that, people trying to hustle, 0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:20.920 people trying to make. 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:22.120 It so we dive it. 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:25.079 Struggles with life so wrong, so wrong, that struggle of 0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:28.520 life to make it into somebody.

I went to Africa in nineteen 0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:48.520 ninety when and I spent like three weeks concern at 0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:53.520 the universities can trees educating people from Ghana all over 0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:55.520 the continent about reggae music and dance. 0:16:55.560 --> 0:16:55.760 Sad. 0:16:55.840 --> 0:16:58.560 But I was happy when they came to Their sense 0:16:58.640 --> 0:17:00.720 is to realize that music is the the bridge that's 0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:02.800 going to connect us. But what I was disappointed in 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:05.000 they didn't try to connect with Jamaica the rules. They 0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:08.520 connect with everyone else except us and you. 0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:11.080 Talking about affle beats. Yes, okay, okay, you sorry. 0:17:11.160 --> 0:17:13.800 So they connected with everyone else except us. But when 0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:15.399 you look at what they're doing, their music is not 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:24.240 free in Africa. It's fun great need a free Africa. 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:26.960 If I am in Germanic and my and my country 0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:30.119 and my paper five for free. You're a continent with words, 0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:32.520 son and power, and you have the ability to know 0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:33.720 and now you're singing is fun? 0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:36.479 Cret You don't sing a song to free Africa? Are 0:17:36.600 --> 0:17:40.680 now we need? I'm bringing this to the forefront of 0:17:40.840 --> 0:17:44.160 your mind, but we desire more from them. You want 0:17:44.200 --> 0:17:45.320 the money, go get it. 0:17:45.960 --> 0:17:47.800 But what's going to be said about you later on 0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:55.159 and your posterity. You didn't make any impact. So reggae 0:17:55.240 --> 0:17:57.760 music still stands predominant. It is still the King's music. 0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:11.080 I can say I wasn't ready. I might have heard 0:18:11.119 --> 0:18:13.560 it wrong, but then I also heard you say. This 0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:17.600 is something that I've really, really really listened to you. Yes, 0:18:17.680 --> 0:18:18.679 please tell me. 0:18:18.720 --> 0:18:19.560 One afrobe son. 0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:20.480 I can believe us. 0:18:22.280 --> 0:18:24.640 Bly for us, take us from Kenny. I is suffering, 0:18:25.400 --> 0:18:28.000 people of young men of Kenny are revolting. So Africa 0:18:28.119 --> 0:18:33.000 is on Sudan, so Sudan, you name it. But which 0:18:33.119 --> 0:18:35.280 one of these songs can I relate to for a 0:18:35.320 --> 0:18:36.840 piece of mind to tell me that I'm in the 0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:39.000 struggle and we are going to be better in the struggle, 0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:41.760 and even though the struggle is hard, we're going to overcome. 0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:45.159 Tell me you know what. I don't think I can 0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:47.959 reggae music right. 0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:52.240 Listen, A lot of culture vultures over there. We have 0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:54.000 sat and we have watched reggae time taken. 0:18:55.640 --> 0:19:00.600 I was going there music so hard and stolen our culture. 0:19:00.680 --> 0:19:01.679 I'm knocking nobody. 0:19:01.760 --> 0:19:04.760 But you don't give us no respect, motherfuckers, And you 0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:08.720 still expect us to act like we take something from you. 0:19:09.240 --> 0:19:12.200 This is the King's music. Your music shall come and 0:19:12.280 --> 0:19:14.120 it shall go because has nothing to do with soul, 0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:17.800 It does nothing to do with building energy. Our music 0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:19.520 is time marker. You can remember when you went to 0:19:19.600 --> 0:19:21.800 your first date, when you are their first sex, when 0:19:21.840 --> 0:19:23.800 you marry your wife, when you go to the first dance. 0:19:24.080 --> 0:19:28.320 It's time marker because it's the King's music. You can't 0:19:28.320 --> 0:19:30.760 remember when you're happy, you can't remember when you're sad. 0:19:32.280 --> 0:19:35.160 You can remember all the things because there's a music 0:19:35.280 --> 0:19:38.320 to mark that time period. But everyone wants to take 0:19:38.359 --> 0:19:42.280 from reggae. You want to extracize us on the pay us. 0:19:42.720 --> 0:19:45.000 Let's just stay on alphabe for a second. That is 0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:47.880 direct from REGGAEO. 0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:52.280 No real aphrobetis from Africa, but the influence. 0:19:53.440 --> 0:19:53.919 You know what I mean. 0:19:54.160 --> 0:19:56.560 And I'm sure all the alphabid adds will say to you, 0:19:56.680 --> 0:19:58.959 oh aphabid is Aphrobidians are going to do with Jamaica, 0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:01.520 And we will say to them, our music has everything 0:20:01.560 --> 0:20:04.720 to do with Africa. We don't diecatomize, we don't separate 0:20:04.720 --> 0:20:07.080 to ourselves from Africa, no kind, no time, no day, 0:20:07.320 --> 0:20:10.639 because the drum in our music is what speaks to 0:20:10.720 --> 0:20:12.840 our soul. I think the drumming your music speaks to 0:20:12.920 --> 0:20:15.600 your soul. But what are you saying? It's important for 0:20:15.680 --> 0:20:17.720 you to It's easy for you to have anybody to 0:20:17.800 --> 0:20:19.640 listen to you just don't get that wrong. 0:20:20.359 --> 0:20:22.200 But what do you have to say to them? There's 0:20:22.240 --> 0:20:22.760 a hard part. 0:20:24.359 --> 0:20:26.160 I was thinking about Joe and I was like, that's 0:20:26.200 --> 0:20:30.840 not that's like that maybe I close my mouth here. 0:20:30.920 --> 0:20:31.120 Yeah. 0:20:31.160 --> 0:20:33.000 Yeah, it's easy for you to have the masters to 0:20:33.040 --> 0:20:34.679 listen to you, But what when you say to them? 0:20:34.720 --> 0:20:37.800 You know, we've gone from a people singing singing about 0:20:37.840 --> 0:20:41.480 the freedom that they desire, a people singing about the 0:20:41.640 --> 0:20:45.160 hope of their nation rising to the apex the hope 0:20:45.200 --> 0:20:47.119 of their people and the young men and realizing that 0:20:47.200 --> 0:20:49.200 this is a great nation and they need to take 0:20:49.240 --> 0:20:52.320 the bull by the horn to someone who's what people 0:20:52.320 --> 0:20:54.439 want to plung Just back five five years, fifty five 0:20:54.520 --> 0:20:58.119 years to wear words peans. Now, if you look in 0:20:58.200 --> 0:21:01.040 sub Saharan Africa, we see Africa rising up. The brain 0:21:01.119 --> 0:21:03.960 of Africa has become awakened from Nijera right through. So 0:21:04.080 --> 0:21:06.040 we cannot continue an a trajectory like we don't know 0:21:06.080 --> 0:21:11.119 who we are and our music cannot continue to be uninspiring, right, simple? 0:21:11.680 --> 0:21:11.800 Right? 0:21:12.160 --> 0:21:16.720 I mean they say that all music comes from Africa, Yes, yeah, 0:21:16.960 --> 0:21:19.760 but then so so you think that we got music 0:21:19.840 --> 0:21:20.479 come from Africa. 0:21:20.680 --> 0:21:23.040 Yeah, the drum is that we get that your friend, 0:21:23.160 --> 0:21:25.960 we have speaking and our idioms and the way our 0:21:26.080 --> 0:21:29.639 cadence come across it's much different because we're able to 0:21:29.680 --> 0:21:32.160 bandwards and we don't need it English, we need the Oldish. 0:21:33.760 --> 0:21:36.080 Yeah, English, you speaking and I speak out. 0:21:45.760 --> 0:21:48.199 But that's the beauty about listening to you to your 0:21:48.280 --> 0:21:52.640 music is sorry, it's not just you know you could 0:21:52.680 --> 0:21:54.880 dance to like you actually school and people like, what's 0:21:54.960 --> 0:21:56.520 what's the name of the record that it reminds me 0:21:56.600 --> 0:21:57.560 of a NAS record? 0:21:58.200 --> 0:22:00.600 We talk about guns? Oh I got to. 0:22:04.080 --> 0:22:07.240 So you ever heard the record that's had call I 0:22:07.320 --> 0:22:10.359 Gave You Power where he's talking about a gun? Was 0:22:10.440 --> 0:22:12.720 that record inspired by Mister nine? 0:22:13.240 --> 0:22:17.400 I grew up in a culture where those with the gun, 0:22:17.840 --> 0:22:20.760 I think they have the power gun man. No, you 0:22:20.840 --> 0:22:23.600 can't be policed, it can't be sold. Those generally with 0:22:23.720 --> 0:22:27.880 the gun, I think they're so powerful and they don't 0:22:27.880 --> 0:22:30.119 have They don't realize that. What they have done is 0:22:30.240 --> 0:22:33.160 show the younger generation a type cast or a kind 0:22:33.200 --> 0:22:35.280 of mindset that if you do have, you're not powerful. 0:22:37.040 --> 0:22:40.240 There's some consciously broadcast this that if you don't have 0:22:40.240 --> 0:22:43.000 a gone you're not powerful, but that sound telling you 0:22:43.160 --> 0:22:45.880 that whether you have a nine to sixty doesn't matter 0:22:45.960 --> 0:22:50.479 what you have, it doesn't matter. You're not living right 0:22:50.520 --> 0:22:52.920 because the gun can't hurt anybody. It's the individual and 0:22:52.960 --> 0:22:55.680 the mindset that perpetrator. I can committed end result. 0:22:55.800 --> 0:22:55.919 Right. 0:22:56.600 --> 0:22:59.000 You put a fucking drink right here, it's harmless. The 0:22:59.080 --> 0:23:01.800 person consume it, then it becomes a dud. Same thing 0:23:01.840 --> 0:23:02.200 with a gun. 0:23:10.359 --> 0:23:15.440 Don't kill people, peopleeople, you know, bunch of one of 0:23:15.480 --> 0:23:15.879 my songs. 0:23:16.400 --> 0:23:20.640 So the premise exists. Yeah, don't kill people. People kill people, 0:23:20.680 --> 0:23:23.399 mister nine said to mister five five. So it's like 0:23:23.480 --> 0:23:27.240 the guns are talking to themselves. We're not leaving right, you. 0:23:27.280 --> 0:23:30.400 Know, So it doesn't attend to That's why actually, because 0:23:30.400 --> 0:23:32.560 it reminds me of the Navs song where nas is 0:23:32.880 --> 0:23:35.680 actually talking to a gun and he makes it so 0:23:36.240 --> 0:23:38.320 so there is no correlation. You know, I've never heard 0:23:38.400 --> 0:23:43.920 nothing song before. Okay, okay, okay, this is great. You know, 0:23:44.040 --> 0:23:47.879 so we spoke about some of it earlier. We said, uh, 0:23:47.960 --> 0:23:50.800 when you came home the airport incident where people will 0:23:50.840 --> 0:23:52.480 you know, rushing you and you you kind of like 0:23:52.560 --> 0:23:53.200 needed your time. 0:23:53.280 --> 0:23:56.680 But then this car say comes right after this. I 0:23:56.800 --> 0:23:57.560 read the reviews. 0:23:57.640 --> 0:23:59.240 They said that this might have been one of the 0:23:59.320 --> 0:24:01.280 greatest cars serious on earth. 0:24:03.280 --> 0:24:07.320 I think Jamaica outsideis fried with Jamaica. I've seen larger concerts. 0:24:07.920 --> 0:24:12.840 It's a monumental occasion for Iman. Still being home bland still, 0:24:12.920 --> 0:24:16.960 you know, given appreciation for the love of cause I 0:24:17.080 --> 0:24:18.600 grew up in a simple home. 0:24:19.320 --> 0:24:21.480 The love of God was always there. 0:24:21.560 --> 0:24:21.720 You know. 0:24:22.520 --> 0:24:25.760 My enemies try to destroy me because you don't know 0:24:25.840 --> 0:24:27.240 who I am. But trust me, they know. 0:24:29.560 --> 0:24:31.399 And they dwell. 0:24:32.000 --> 0:24:34.879 And I think credibility and if it destroyed, credibility is 0:24:34.920 --> 0:24:36.159 easy for you to destroy the man. 0:24:36.240 --> 0:24:36.600 Any man. 0:24:38.160 --> 0:24:41.000 Once you destroy any man's credibility, it's always easier for 0:24:41.080 --> 0:24:43.520 you to go at them. But my father, he stood 0:24:43.560 --> 0:24:44.960 in the bridge and showed them that this is my 0:24:45.119 --> 0:24:48.040 servant and I'm un easier to serve me, not you. 0:24:49.320 --> 0:24:52.600 So yes, they thought they put me away, but what 0:24:52.720 --> 0:24:58.399 they did was raised me up. Because you have to 0:24:58.480 --> 0:25:02.760 realize what man plan to hurt you with, your father 0:25:03.359 --> 0:25:07.960 plan to help you with. Okay, we're living in a world. 0:25:08.000 --> 0:25:10.160 We know that this world, especially the United Stans of Americas, 0:25:10.240 --> 0:25:14.720 is domain. We don't come to contesting we'll come to 0:25:14.840 --> 0:25:19.680 walk like job and we'll not get a robe signal, 0:25:19.920 --> 0:25:26.600 a champion, even more champion dan job because music has 0:25:26.640 --> 0:25:29.080 been used against the people now as a weapon. I 0:25:29.280 --> 0:25:33.359 was here in the early nineteen nineties when I was 0:25:33.400 --> 0:25:36.480 a young man. You had no dreads, and I saw 0:25:36.600 --> 0:25:39.159 the trajectory, and I saw what they were trying to do. 0:25:39.320 --> 0:25:41.760 And they've accomplished it. They are accomplished killing the ki 0:25:41.880 --> 0:25:44.399 arrest one. They've accomplished killing everything positive that comes to 0:25:44.480 --> 0:25:47.160 the music. And it went on a spiral of we'd 0:25:47.240 --> 0:25:52.000 to become the batchery and everything the furious and every 0:25:52.080 --> 0:25:54.679 so after the people gain their consciousness and they hit 0:25:54.720 --> 0:25:57.560 them when someone or something else and they would drive 0:25:57.680 --> 0:26:00.679 the message room so hard that they have no escape. 0:26:01.760 --> 0:26:03.920 We are fortunate enough to be on an island where 0:26:03.920 --> 0:26:06.800 we can educate to ourselves from these circumstances and cultivate 0:26:06.840 --> 0:26:09.680 an identity for our own and a spiritual awareness of 0:26:09.840 --> 0:26:14.320 our own and a firmness to take us through this struggle. 0:26:15.720 --> 0:26:18.960 We don't hear to convert people because we're at a cult. 0:26:20.200 --> 0:26:22.639 Yes, we aim to open the eyes of the ones 0:26:22.760 --> 0:26:25.800 who are hearing the earth so they can partic of 0:26:25.880 --> 0:26:28.720 the goodness of God, not of the goodness of the devil. 0:26:28.760 --> 0:26:31.560 Becaus want to last for a minute, But the goodness 0:26:31.600 --> 0:26:38.920 of God is ever lasting. Now they might say, You 0:26:39.119 --> 0:26:41.639 might say, well, what does reggae music our hold? Does 0:26:41.680 --> 0:26:43.400 reggae music play a part in this? And I will 0:26:43.440 --> 0:26:46.200 say to you, music is here to teach us one lesson. 0:26:46.720 --> 0:26:48.919 If music is the only thing that shall never die, 0:26:49.040 --> 0:26:51.240 Ask yourself, why do you get tired of some music 0:26:51.280 --> 0:26:51.920 in two months? 0:26:52.200 --> 0:26:52.920 Something is wrong? 0:26:53.359 --> 0:27:00.880 Oh tis, I should be timeless, right, it's not anymore? 0:27:01.200 --> 0:27:01.840 So what's happening? 0:27:02.600 --> 0:27:03.440 Disposable music? 0:27:03.520 --> 0:27:13.960 Yes, music is never disposable. The artists are disposable. See 0:27:14.000 --> 0:27:19.760 our profession. Our profession was divinely given to us. It 0:27:19.880 --> 0:27:22.440 is written in the Basic Instruction before leaving Earth that 0:27:22.520 --> 0:27:24.600 you are called the Bible, that a singer and a 0:27:24.640 --> 0:27:27.399 player of instruments shall go before the Lad's coming. So 0:27:27.720 --> 0:27:29.439 what shall we go and do? We shall proclaim it's 0:27:29.480 --> 0:27:33.600 coming forward. You shall bring the people together, you know 0:27:33.640 --> 0:27:36.880 what I'm saying. But if we're not doing that, then 0:27:37.040 --> 0:27:40.440 we shall be thrown into the fire heap. Yeah, so 0:27:40.560 --> 0:27:44.199 are my Muslim brothers. They notice, and my author's as brothers. 0:27:44.240 --> 0:27:46.639 They notice my Christian brothers who are standing up. They 0:27:46.760 --> 0:27:49.639 notice this Barkley is not against flesh and blood. It's 0:27:49.680 --> 0:27:51.920 not against none of you guys. It's a spiritual wickedness 0:27:52.000 --> 0:27:55.600 and principalities and darkness in high and low places. 0:27:56.359 --> 0:27:56.920 You know what I mean. 0:27:57.440 --> 0:28:01.080 So you can continue, I can head towards the light. 0:28:02.080 --> 0:28:03.240 Your choice, you all do. 0:28:09.359 --> 0:28:12.080 Let's talk about did your your mother give you the 0:28:12.160 --> 0:28:20.840 nickname Buju? Actually I are actually yes? How did this? 0:28:21.760 --> 0:28:33.480 I wasn't there. I wasn't aware I was there, but 0:28:33.560 --> 0:28:35.000 I wasn't aware, you know. 0:28:35.240 --> 0:28:37.720 But I grew up here in Caliman, Bojo. You know, 0:28:38.040 --> 0:28:43.080 BuJo is a Maroon world. Maro Maroon are some of 0:28:43.160 --> 0:28:46.800 the indigenous warriors on my island. We fought the British relentlessly. 0:28:47.120 --> 0:28:47.840 Those are the Moors. 0:28:48.400 --> 0:28:53.960 Maroons are from Blackmores. But my generation originated from Nigeria. 0:28:54.440 --> 0:28:58.440 I'm an Ebu man coming to my bloodline, and we 0:28:58.640 --> 0:29:02.480 fought the British relentle We fared King Charles for farty 0:29:02.560 --> 0:29:05.480 years and I come to the British treaty anybody sustain 0:29:05.560 --> 0:29:08.760 our over eight years automaticala window sovereignty. So we fared 0:29:08.800 --> 0:29:11.040 in for five years and glasses fire and when he 0:29:11.120 --> 0:29:13.920 bardon you to fighting the five years after that, So 0:29:14.000 --> 0:29:16.840 we tricked them into fighting for eight years without sensation. 0:29:17.400 --> 0:29:19.280 And we want our sovereignty from the British. 0:29:19.640 --> 0:29:19.880 Wow. 0:29:20.040 --> 0:29:25.000 Yeah, And we ruled from the Cockpit country down to 0:29:25.120 --> 0:29:30.400 the Clarendian But now our indigenous life and our indigenous 0:29:30.440 --> 0:29:32.640 way of life and our lands are being threatened by 0:29:32.640 --> 0:29:35.800 the current government administries and of Jamnica who seek to 0:29:35.880 --> 0:29:39.280 bring Chinese and the nationalities into the Cockpit region, which 0:29:39.320 --> 0:29:41.360 is an indigenous secret region. 0:29:42.000 --> 0:29:45.320 Do you serve us the Maroons as the warrior as 0:29:45.440 --> 0:29:46.080 so it's. 0:29:46.000 --> 0:29:47.280 Crazy that's happening right now. 0:29:47.520 --> 0:29:50.120 Yes, Well, there's indigenous people all across the world around. 0:29:50.120 --> 0:29:54.680 Actually went from Peru because the multi national seats. People 0:29:55.040 --> 0:29:59.000 have phones, they have, but the multi national seat the 0:29:59.080 --> 0:30:02.840 national resources of the land. Like in the capital country 0:30:02.840 --> 0:30:05.800 of Jamaica. We're rich in backside right now. There's certain 0:30:05.880 --> 0:30:08.560 companies like Nrandom and certain Russian companies who have been 0:30:08.600 --> 0:30:11.560 taking this backside for over seventeen years. And they would 0:30:12.040 --> 0:30:15.440 destroy your school just to take the backside under the school. 0:30:15.720 --> 0:30:18.680 But there's no payment given to the community, not the chief, 0:30:18.840 --> 0:30:22.080 not the council of the indigenous community. It's done to 0:30:22.480 --> 0:30:26.520 the government's structure where these people are just totally and 0:30:27.240 --> 0:30:30.280 your land is being pilfered, like you know, it's crazy. 0:30:30.840 --> 0:30:33.840 So it's a new generation of young men rising up. 0:30:34.520 --> 0:30:36.120 What's the two political parties that you make. 0:30:36.160 --> 0:30:37.960 I don't give a fuck about political. 0:30:44.160 --> 0:30:45.720 That should be one of the political. 0:30:45.360 --> 0:30:48.240 Parties, you know, because they say it's two sides of 0:30:48.320 --> 0:30:52.400 the same kind for change and we who upset. 0:30:52.520 --> 0:30:53.640 But you have to understand that. 0:30:55.560 --> 0:30:58.640 A country is basically a corporation which are elected official 0:30:58.720 --> 0:30:59.480 as a CEO. 0:31:00.080 --> 0:31:03.480 Mm hmm. Yeah. 0:31:04.080 --> 0:31:06.800 A lot of people think a prime minister run a country, 0:31:06.920 --> 0:31:09.320 but you have to understand that these motherfuckers are ceo 0:31:09.600 --> 0:31:11.840 the company called the country, and. 0:31:11.960 --> 0:31:15.600 My board members have the answer. Sometimes these board members 0:31:15.640 --> 0:31:17.080 are so powerful that these. 0:31:17.120 --> 0:31:19.440 Assole ship in your pants when they get a phone 0:31:19.440 --> 0:31:22.800 call from these motherfuckers. You can't tell me that in 0:31:22.920 --> 0:31:27.280 the Caribbean we can improve our standard up living for 0:31:27.360 --> 0:31:30.680 our people. And as a disaster, I'm run going begging left, 0:31:30.760 --> 0:31:33.200 right and center. And these are to say, motherfuckers who 0:31:33.680 --> 0:31:36.200 came into politics with three thousand dollars in their bank 0:31:36.200 --> 0:31:39.760 account us and leaving politices with six hundred thousand million million, 0:31:40.400 --> 0:31:43.320 So where this Where does millions come from? But the 0:31:43.400 --> 0:31:45.680 Caribban people are so passive. I think they put something 0:31:45.720 --> 0:31:49.840 into our water over the years. We'ren't fighting anymore, we're accepting. 0:31:51.000 --> 0:31:52.200 We're not standing up anymore. 0:31:52.240 --> 0:31:53.040 We're laying down. 0:31:53.720 --> 0:31:56.920 And these motherfuckers we call a politician, the real criminals 0:31:56.960 --> 0:32:01.360 and the real crooks. They're having a blast because there's 0:32:01.400 --> 0:32:04.360 no checking balance. Chickan balance don't come from your cronies. 0:32:04.440 --> 0:32:08.000 Checkan balands come from people who feel the pin. And 0:32:08.080 --> 0:32:10.760 that's why you see what like even in Kenya, they 0:32:10.800 --> 0:32:13.440 were taking aback. They didn't know that the young men 0:32:13.560 --> 0:32:16.000 and the young women of Kenya had their dogs so 0:32:16.120 --> 0:32:18.400 much in a way that they could tell each politician. 0:32:18.080 --> 0:32:20.840 What they owned and where they live and where the 0:32:20.960 --> 0:32:22.840 investments were. That shook them. 0:32:24.160 --> 0:32:26.960 So we realized that you know, in the region, ever, 0:32:27.040 --> 0:32:29.440 the better as the leaders we stopped. We need to 0:32:29.480 --> 0:32:33.120 stop elect people based on your skin color and then 0:32:33.200 --> 0:32:36.240 being charming.

Clementary 0:38:37.080 --> 0:38:38.000 set of Robert French. 0:38:38.080 --> 0:38:41.360 Robert French was a big singer in Jamaica, and he 0:38:41.480 --> 0:38:44.960 invited Clementine to this Clementary set to Robert Frendship, this 0:38:45.120 --> 0:38:46.840 is a DJENR bojo. 0:38:47.000 --> 0:38:50.560 I want you to hear him, and they laughed. 0:38:50.280 --> 0:38:50.839 At my name. 0:38:52.560 --> 0:38:53.200 I can't remember. 0:38:53.280 --> 0:38:57.200 Tony Keyler was the engineer and they said to me, oh, 0:38:57.320 --> 0:39:00.080 this guy finished recording and they said, clement said, you 0:39:00.120 --> 0:39:02.399 want to hear what the sounds like? And Robert Friend 0:39:02.440 --> 0:39:05.520 said yes. So Tony Kelly said to me, go around there. 0:39:05.840 --> 0:39:07.680 You put the headphones on, and when you see that 0:39:07.800 --> 0:39:12.520 red light come on, that's your cue. And I went 0:39:12.560 --> 0:39:15.040 around there and put the headphones on and they turned 0:39:15.080 --> 0:39:18.640 on this red light and that was my cue. And 0:39:18.760 --> 0:39:22.560 I closed my eyes, immerse myself deliver one of the 0:39:22.600 --> 0:39:25.400 best lyrics I know. I had Steward in my cranium. 0:39:26.000 --> 0:39:27.960 When I opened my eyes, the old studio was in 0:39:28.120 --> 0:39:31.439 fucking it was like I'm like they. 0:39:31.480 --> 0:39:31.719 Like it. 0:39:34.600 --> 0:39:36.600 Was it over beat, over a fucking beat. It was 0:39:36.680 --> 0:39:39.040 my first time I ever did one take. I sung 0:39:39.120 --> 0:39:42.800 for three four minutes forty five seconds straight, no stop. 0:39:44.160 --> 0:39:47.160 But in those days, also we are doub plates and 0:39:47.480 --> 0:39:49.880 them plates were live, so you go to the studio 0:39:50.000 --> 0:39:51.960 and the record will be cutting right while you're singing it, 0:39:52.200 --> 0:39:55.440 so you came in no mistake. Is the dop plate 0:39:55.560 --> 0:39:57.200 is three minutes, you got to be singing for three 0:39:57.280 --> 0:40:01.239 minutes with no mistake as you don't get paid. So 0:40:01.320 --> 0:40:03.160 with that mindset, I was able to go inside the 0:40:03.200 --> 0:40:05.360 studio and do the song. It's called Rouleaut for my 0:40:05.480 --> 0:40:12.160 very first song. It was released in Toronto on All Stars. Yeah, 0:40:12.239 --> 0:40:16.160 so that was my first exposure to Pentos.

There's an 1:14:48.760 --> 1:14:50.920 energy transfer there that's there. You can't get that from 1:14:50.920 --> 1:14:52.599 the digital world, right Never. 1:14:53.760 --> 1:14:55.320 No, I like what you said earlier.

Yeah, and 1:17:47.040 --> 1:17:50.560 it's just that I'm sure my rapper brothers face the 1:17:50.600 --> 1:17:52.120 same thing. They have to step up and they even 1:17:52.160 --> 1:17:54.400 know that they know what they work and know their value. 1:17:54.680 --> 1:17:57.160 So you don't respect It's up to you.

So when I go there after 1:24:55.360 --> 1:24:59.320 traw and give them a good show and sing out 1:24:59.400 --> 1:24:59.920 for them, you know. 1:25:00.400 --> 1:25:01.840 And stay awhile because if you're going to do the 1:25:01.880 --> 1:25:04.439 whole continent.

We had a beautiful time. It was 1:25:12.920 --> 1:25:14.880 an amazing moment. I want to see enough love to 1:25:14.920 --> 1:25:16.640 South African and all South Africans. 1:25:16.920 --> 1:25:17.760 Yes, I have been there. 1:25:17.840 --> 1:25:20.960 Great people, man, beautiful place, beautiful people, our people. 1:25:21.479 --> 1:25:25.400 Right now, you just sold out two shows thirty six 1:25:25.520 --> 1:25:26.639 thousand in New York City. 1:25:26.720 --> 1:25:33.240 Got that? I mean? I know you don't call yourself king, 1:25:33.840 --> 1:25:35.639 but there's a lot of people who do call you king. 1:25:36.240 --> 1:25:40.120 That I am a servant of the people and a 1:25:40.200 --> 1:25:41.240 servanti the music. 1:25:41.320 --> 1:25:41.479 You know. 1:25:42.080 --> 1:25:46.200 You see, let't me break it down to you. 1:25:46.600 --> 1:25:50.320 Yes, I know where in the United States of America 1:25:51.640 --> 1:25:56.599 a lot of people get it twisted. You know, who 1:25:56.760 --> 1:25:59.360 is a not to get caught up in all of that. 1:26:01.800 --> 1:26:06.840 We're just to continue being humble, being touchable, accessible, reachable, 1:26:07.360 --> 1:26:12.320 communicate to the people. And you know, because my people 1:26:12.520 --> 1:26:16.320 are used to people they can identify with and resonate with, 1:26:16.640 --> 1:26:20.640 not people who are alienated from them and people who 1:26:20.680 --> 1:26:23.160 are you know what I mean, there's a buffer between 1:26:23.200 --> 1:26:25.720 them and twenty people pushing them, boxing them, shoving them. 1:26:26.720 --> 1:26:29.640 I don't de do that kind of fuckreak, you know 1:26:29.640 --> 1:26:30.000 what I mean? 1:26:30.120 --> 1:26:32.400 Because the same people at my security and push away 1:26:32.400 --> 1:26:35.840 with the same people that make sure I can't pay right. 1:26:37.000 --> 1:26:42.080 So you know, the moment you realize that, humble yourself 1:26:42.560 --> 1:26:45.719 that I told you our profession was directed directly Carlo 1:26:45.880 --> 1:26:49.240 by the Fiums as singers and players of instruments, and 1:26:49.360 --> 1:26:51.679 then it's a bartender and then it's a bar tough. 1:26:53.200 --> 1:26:56.080 And didn't see all the part of these things. So 1:26:56.200 --> 1:26:58.479 you know that you're doing something. 1:26:58.560 --> 1:27:00.479 It's easy to have people listening to you know, like 1:27:00.600 --> 1:27:04.320 I said earlier, what it's important to figure out what. 1:27:04.400 --> 1:27:05.240 You have to say to them. 1:27:06.800 --> 1:27:10.360 So let me ask you a question. Bob Marley movie, 1:27:10.400 --> 1:27:11.080 I love it right. 1:27:11.600 --> 1:27:13.240 There was one part of the movie where he uh, 1:27:14.240 --> 1:27:15.840 he sent to his manager and he was like, yo, 1:27:15.960 --> 1:27:19.000 whenever there's an Africa play, it's not a money play, 1:27:20.120 --> 1:27:22.320 like meaning like he just wants to go to Africa 1:27:22.360 --> 1:27:23.439 whenever they ask for him. 1:27:23.840 --> 1:27:25.320 Is that how you feel about Africa as well? 1:27:25.800 --> 1:27:28.280 Africa is a beautiful place where I have made many 1:27:28.400 --> 1:27:32.080 sacrifices over the years, many many many soccer. The first 1:27:32.080 --> 1:27:34.160 time I go to Africa, I come up to Jamaica 1:27:34.160 --> 1:27:35.840 and have to pay my entire band out of my 1:27:36.040 --> 1:27:40.720 personal pocket. You know, several times it happens to us 1:27:41.040 --> 1:27:43.320 because you know, you give people the benefit of the 1:27:43.360 --> 1:27:45.040 door that they're going to do business, but it never 1:27:45.160 --> 1:27:48.280 materialized that way. But it can't be a money tinkerse 1:27:48.320 --> 1:27:49.920 want someone to go on, the show must go on. 1:27:50.240 --> 1:27:56.160 But nevertheless, we pride ourselves in doing good business, and 1:27:56.240 --> 1:27:58.680 as black people have a bad stigma attached to us 1:27:58.920 --> 1:28:01.680 that we don't do good businesiness. So it's important for 1:28:01.840 --> 1:28:04.080 us to have good agreements and stick to our agreements 1:28:04.120 --> 1:28:07.960 and execute the agreements accordingly. You know, you need good 1:28:08.000 --> 1:28:09.960 for the next brother who comes into the territory to 1:28:10.000 --> 1:28:11.720 do business, who calls me on the phone and say, 1:28:11.920 --> 1:28:16.639 how was your experience? All right, very good, So all 1:28:16.680 --> 1:28:17.559 things are relative. 1:28:18.680 --> 1:28:20.160 Let's talk about bona fide love. 1:28:21.120 --> 1:28:27.439 Bonafi Bonafi Love was originally done by Erald Dunkley and 1:28:27.640 --> 1:28:37.400 then it was done by den Right. It was remade 1:28:37.520 --> 1:28:41.840 Byway No Wonder for the Pintos label. I think it's 1:28:41.880 --> 1:28:46.360 one of the most pivotal recordings memos Away Wonder has 1:28:46.400 --> 1:28:49.919 ever done. But it's a remake from the original. 1:28:50.120 --> 1:28:54.320 Okay, yeah, Now when we may highlighte for Snoop Dogg, 1:28:54.360 --> 1:28:59.120 who smoked more weed? I don't know. Actually, it seems 1:28:59.120 --> 1:29:01.160 like it was a fun ritter. I was. 1:29:01.280 --> 1:29:03.639 I was in I was in my student Carla Avenue 1:29:03.720 --> 1:29:06.240 and we were speaking on the phone. So I said, 1:29:06.320 --> 1:29:11.920 we were He said, this is in the spaceship you 1:29:12.000 --> 1:29:15.640 call his recording students spaceship. I said, I'm sitting there 1:29:15.840 --> 1:29:17.720 under the tree. So he said, is that a mango tree? 1:29:17.760 --> 1:29:21.479 I said yeah, And we were both smoking. So I 1:29:21.560 --> 1:29:24.200 was on the tree smoking in the spaceship smoking. I 1:29:24.280 --> 1:29:25.880 started So I started singing. 1:29:25.960 --> 1:29:36.639 Highlight and I said, good weed all day and night. 1:29:37.800 --> 1:29:38.280 I said, hey. 1:29:38.400 --> 1:29:40.439 So I went into notes and I started writing it, 1:29:42.280 --> 1:29:44.200 and I said, hey, I'm going to write your partners, well, 1:29:44.240 --> 1:29:45.320 I'm going to write in part to us. 1:29:45.360 --> 1:29:46.320 I wrote, and I sent it to you. 1:29:46.400 --> 1:29:48.760 That's why he did it so much in patful. We 1:29:48.880 --> 1:29:51.280 stayed on the phone and suck it right up. It 1:29:51.400 --> 1:29:53.360 was good man. It was a good day, good vibe. 1:29:54.000 --> 1:29:55.920 And it shows me that it's a true artist because 1:29:55.960 --> 1:29:58.559 it's not many people can do that and dialve into 1:29:58.760 --> 1:30:00.560 their creativity just like that. 1:30:00.760 --> 1:30:03.960 And I mean it's our chemistry as well. Yeah, just 1:30:04.040 --> 1:30:05.320 good good kid, good brethren. 1:30:05.720 --> 1:30:08.240 You know. You know what I love about you? Is 1:30:09.160 --> 1:30:10.360 you a man? 1:30:10.479 --> 1:30:13.400 Can't put you in a box. You can't say you're 1:30:13.479 --> 1:30:16.000 just one way? Like you make feel good music, you 1:30:16.120 --> 1:30:18.880 make you know, club music, you make you know. 1:30:18.880 --> 1:30:22.400 What I mean? You make conscious music? Like how do 1:30:22.479 --> 1:30:24.680 you do that and not be whack? Like? 1:30:24.720 --> 1:30:26.680 You know what I'm saying, because certain people can you 1:30:26.760 --> 1:30:28.080 know what I'm saying, Like certain people can go to 1:30:28.120 --> 1:30:34.240 another genre. I don't know, okay answers, I don't know. 1:30:34.400 --> 1:30:37.719 I'm a free spirited person. You have to be happy. 1:30:38.000 --> 1:30:38.160 You know. 1:30:38.479 --> 1:30:41.160 My children, my guys think come the funniest father in 1:30:41.240 --> 1:30:42.880 the world, right, you know what I mean? 1:30:43.080 --> 1:30:45.280 I love to laugh. People don't know that side of me. 1:30:45.320 --> 1:30:46.760 I don't show them as side of me. They don't 1:30:46.800 --> 1:30:49.880 need to. But music should come from a happy place. 1:30:51.000 --> 1:30:53.800 So if you're a person who's constantly angry, you're going 1:30:53.880 --> 1:30:56.760 to make angry music. If you're constantly bitter, your music 1:30:56.800 --> 1:31:00.160 will reflect that, you know, I mean, I never go 1:31:00.280 --> 1:31:03.120 to my bed with an argument. I tell you how 1:31:03.160 --> 1:31:03.559 I feel. 1:31:03.600 --> 1:31:04.000 And that's it. 1:31:04.360 --> 1:31:13.160 Tomorrow I'm going to say, no, what's up? Oh this 1:31:13.320 --> 1:31:15.360 is so great the music I would come for a 1:31:15.400 --> 1:31:19.120 pure place. So when when that is intact, you know, 1:31:19.520 --> 1:31:21.000 the inspiration flows, you know. 1:31:21.800 --> 1:31:24.200 So let's talk about I'm saying it wrong because I'm 1:31:24.200 --> 1:31:26.120 I'm dyslexic.

I can't do rast the man ideology. 1:35:21.680 --> 1:35:26.680 So in this time we knew that God don't go 1:35:26.760 --> 1:35:27.559 all outside of us. 1:35:27.600 --> 1:35:31.640 Well inside of us, I have good tarts, I have 1:35:31.760 --> 1:35:34.240 bad tots, right the are the evil tarts and the 1:35:34.280 --> 1:35:35.679 good tots are the godly tarts. 1:35:38.160 --> 1:35:40.800 Yeside, So we see the Christ come any more on 1:35:40.840 --> 1:35:41.120 the earth. 1:35:41.160 --> 1:35:43.559 And I'm sure say, if you have fear, that's because 1:35:43.560 --> 1:35:47.400 the monster see they can move a mountain. We said 1:35:47.479 --> 1:35:50.839 Christ come anymore. I can sure say, just humble yourself. 1:35:51.120 --> 1:35:53.719 I love the lad by God, I love your neighbor, 1:35:54.920 --> 1:35:57.479 and certain things and teach us which you know I 1:35:57.520 --> 1:36:00.240 don't think it's only rested on two pages. So if 1:36:00.280 --> 1:36:02.960 you want to realize and realize what you really taught 1:36:02.960 --> 1:36:04.360 to us, you have to go and do some research. 1:36:05.760 --> 1:36:09.400 But are these things rastafar to realize that a game 1:36:09.439 --> 1:36:10.400 has been played on us. 1:36:10.800 --> 1:36:14.000 We haven't been taught the truth.

So we realize that there's a campaign 1:36:30.720 --> 1:36:36.560 against not only a particular collab, which is stupidity, but 1:36:36.680 --> 1:36:41.360 against our people as a nation.

Oh yeah, just want to drink. Okay, 1:47:54.880 --> 1:47:56.479 but how you talk about it? But how did you 1:47:56.560 --> 1:47:59.040 make champion? 1:47:59.640 --> 1:48:01.839 So that was a Penthos production. 1:48:02.520 --> 1:48:04.880 I came to the studio one day and there was 1:48:04.920 --> 1:48:07.400 this guy sitting down with a bass on a stool. 1:48:09.320 --> 1:48:11.120 So his name is His name is Leroy Simbly. It's 1:48:11.120 --> 1:48:13.240 a very famous singer from the group called Heptones. But 1:48:13.280 --> 1:48:17.280 he's also a bass player, and he was singing a song. 1:48:18.920 --> 1:48:24.200 I can't remember the song, excuse me, but it really 1:48:24.360 --> 1:48:27.040 was so groovy. And you know, normally, because Pentos was 1:48:27.120 --> 1:48:29.920 my Pentos became my home base. So when you come 1:48:30.000 --> 1:48:32.400 here to work and I came, I wouldn't come out, 1:48:32.439 --> 1:48:33.880 you know, I would just stay here and ulla vibe 1:48:33.880 --> 1:48:36.080 with you to make sure whatever you're doing because in 1:48:36.160 --> 1:48:39.479 those days, Donovan Jerman was like the boss, but it 1:48:39.600 --> 1:48:42.280 was it was so cool. His girl, his man have 1:48:42.360 --> 1:48:45.880 a recording studient is low period to run it. He'll 1:48:45.920 --> 1:48:47.800 come to America and come back like once someone put 1:48:47.880 --> 1:48:50.559 this on at the side and said, let me want 1:48:50.560 --> 1:48:53.559 to make They would have to play what we did 1:48:54.000 --> 1:48:55.679 for everybody, and then he just jump on the plane 1:48:55.680 --> 1:48:58.200 and gone again. So we had the studio, so anybody 1:48:58.280 --> 1:49:01.760 come there and said, Nana McLean from Canada and all 1:49:01.800 --> 1:49:03.280 these people come to the studio and. 1:49:03.400 --> 1:49:04.920 You know, you guys have free rein. 1:49:05.080 --> 1:49:09.280 So yeah, so we were just making music. So I 1:49:09.439 --> 1:49:12.040 was still checking it out and I'm like, so I'm good. 1:49:12.040 --> 1:49:12.639 I like to beat. 1:49:13.760 --> 1:49:16.200 And that's where the inspiration came with just recording. 1:49:16.600 --> 1:49:18.760 So it was nothing but no championship. 1:49:19.240 --> 1:49:22.360 No, there was no championships, more like an inspiration. And 1:49:22.439 --> 1:49:24.080 the music was talking to me and I was just 1:49:24.200 --> 1:49:26.840 talking back to it with a great conversation. 1:49:29.160 --> 1:49:32.920 Yes, you know this, this story is fucking amazing. Man, 1:49:33.400 --> 1:49:36.200 Hold up, i'menormous pronouncing this wrong. 1:49:36.640 --> 1:49:36.960 So what. 1:49:39.360 --> 1:49:39.599 Rider? 1:49:39.640 --> 1:49:43.439 Yeah, okay, no bat to rider, don't get it twisted. 1:49:43.680 --> 1:49:46.240 But to rider is a shot a very short shot 1:49:46.320 --> 1:49:49.759 that the lady wears the ladies wears their cheeks. 1:49:50.080 --> 1:49:52.480 Yeah, their ass cheeks are exposed. 1:49:53.320 --> 1:49:53.559 Yeah. 1:49:54.160 --> 1:49:56.439 So this was a trend back in the time, in 1:49:56.479 --> 1:49:59.560 the early nineties, and it was the coming out for 1:49:59.640 --> 1:50:01.280 the lady back in the time because we're coming from 1:50:01.280 --> 1:50:04.720 an era we're almost fear the cloud. Okay, I mean 1:50:05.120 --> 1:50:08.640 boderline Prutige, fear the cloud, conservative conservative. 1:50:08.760 --> 1:50:08.960 Yeah. 1:50:09.240 --> 1:50:13.240 So this was also a coming on era where fashion 1:50:13.479 --> 1:50:17.479 and embracing a fashion and trends was becoming more social nouns. 1:50:17.720 --> 1:50:21.960 Yeah. Okay, so so up closer personal even though that's 1:50:21.960 --> 1:50:22.519 a rhythm. 1:50:22.400 --> 1:50:26.439 Right close and personal. Yes, it's a song, yeah, the 1:50:26.560 --> 1:50:32.240 title of a song. Yeah, is that something that's common in. 1:50:34.520 --> 1:50:37.479 The culture is like pretty much everyone rhyming on the 1:50:37.520 --> 1:50:39.280 same beat and making their own version. 1:50:39.120 --> 1:50:41.120 Of a song. Know what what happened was. 1:50:44.479 --> 1:50:47.120 First for for DJ playing the music in the dance, 1:50:47.200 --> 1:50:50.280 all right, the producer now has to put his mind 1:50:50.600 --> 1:50:52.680 think about them. He has to think about them. So 1:50:53.120 --> 1:50:56.400 you put this hot song on this beat, but there's 1:50:56.439 --> 1:51:01.240 only one song. The letter and the guy who's playing 1:51:01.280 --> 1:51:03.720 the music have four songs to keep the juggling going 1:51:03.920 --> 1:51:06.960 as such a dynamic, so we try to give them 1:51:07.760 --> 1:51:08.280 more play. 1:51:08.800 --> 1:51:10.160 So that's particularly four the club. 1:51:10.320 --> 1:51:14.120 Yes, so the guys, because even though when I make music, 1:51:14.160 --> 1:51:16.920 I try to make music that I have three and 1:51:17.040 --> 1:51:20.080 four songs on the beat, so the selector can get 1:51:20.080 --> 1:51:22.439 a grace because when you do, when you go one song, 1:51:22.520 --> 1:51:25.000 sometimes it's difficult for them just play this once and 1:51:25.040 --> 1:51:27.080 then move on to something else. But is this what 1:51:27.200 --> 1:51:30.439 you call a juggling. He can play this, he's play that, 1:51:30.640 --> 1:51:32.640 mix that in and then go you know what I mean, so. 1:51:32.720 --> 1:51:33.519 You make it more. 1:51:34.160 --> 1:51:36.400 But I don't think no one is doing that anymore either. 1:51:36.439 --> 1:51:37.680 I don't know what's going on with that. 1:51:38.600 --> 1:51:41.200 Do you think that like died in in the late nineties. 1:51:41.439 --> 1:51:43.720 No, I mean there's a new trend happening now when 1:51:43.800 --> 1:51:46.960 new innovations are taking place. I mean, let's face it, 1:51:47.080 --> 1:51:49.799 we're not We're not nineteen anymore, we're not twenty anymore. 1:51:49.840 --> 1:51:51.960 Those were nineteen and twenty. Now they're seeing the music 1:51:52.240 --> 1:51:53.120 through different lens. 1:51:53.479 --> 1:51:55.880 So there's a paradigm shift, obviously, So we have to 1:51:56.439 --> 1:51:58.400 hope and pray that they catch the bull by the 1:51:58.520 --> 1:52:02.559 hands and integrate some of the good things that and. 1:52:02.640 --> 1:52:06.559 Literally seeing it through a new lens. Everybody's their phone 1:52:06.880 --> 1:52:08.679 lens absolutely literally. 1:52:09.040 --> 1:52:12.240 So you know when you said you dj' earlier, you 1:52:12.320 --> 1:52:13.760 talking about yeah J no. 1:52:13.840 --> 1:52:16.960 No, the word DJ is always miss come school in America. 1:52:17.240 --> 1:52:19.000 But the guy who played the music is called this 1:52:19.200 --> 1:52:23.680 jock in Jamaica. Say a selector right now, the guy 1:52:23.720 --> 1:52:26.320 who owns allD mic and rap like I do, it's 1:52:26.360 --> 1:52:26.920 called a DJ. 1:52:27.280 --> 1:52:33.080 That's right, and that's the A C T.

Meaning like 2:10:24.880 --> 2:10:27.800 you didn't come home looking crazy? You came home looking 2:10:27.880 --> 2:10:29.880 like like you said you was working out three times 2:10:29.920 --> 2:10:33.680 a day. But not only that, it was your style. 2:10:34.040 --> 2:10:37.320 Most people are about, you know, spitting. Most people go 2:10:37.400 --> 2:10:39.880 to jail and then they lose their style, like so 2:10:39.960 --> 2:10:44.640 many people lose it because they're not writing it, not practicing, Like, 2:10:44.760 --> 2:10:47.360 how did you come home and you still sound just 2:10:47.440 --> 2:10:49.480 as good as you used to sound in several cases 2:10:49.520 --> 2:10:49.960 even better. 2:10:50.680 --> 2:10:52.560 You know that place has stopped me. 2:10:53.560 --> 2:10:57.360 One particular thing that when someone does something to you 2:10:57.480 --> 2:11:00.880 that he's deciding to hurt you. And then you know 2:11:01.000 --> 2:11:03.040 in your heart. They're around you. Don't fight with them 2:11:03.080 --> 2:11:06.200 because no one on earth will ever believe you. It's 2:11:06.280 --> 2:11:09.160 all a god came to your innocency. But you can 2:11:09.480 --> 2:11:13.040 give a choice. You can stand that trajectory and steal 2:11:13.160 --> 2:11:18.720 this bitter motherfucker, or you can forgive them and live 2:11:18.800 --> 2:11:22.840 your life. The greatest weapon we have against all our 2:11:22.920 --> 2:11:27.800 adversaries are forgiveness. They don't understand it. They can't see why. Yes, 2:11:29.320 --> 2:11:31.360 they don't know why you're not hungry. They don't know 2:11:31.440 --> 2:11:33.120 why you're not bitter.
