I'm a big reggae fan and I was wondering whether there are any other reggae fans here at Hipbase.
Also - does anybody have any suggestions for good reggae tunes or reggae bands that are worth checking out?
Thanks for the input. :thumb:

I love it, it is so positive.
Any Bob Marley is great. Live stuff is incredible!!
Peter Tosh is good too.
If you ever only hear these two reggae gods it will be enough.
I can help out with some live boots if you are interested.

there is a boot out there from the wailers from back in 73 at the plant record studios. This is the best reggae music available bar none. This is before they were Bob Marley and the Wailers. It is very spiritual.

all i got is a little Bob, a little Buju and some Michael Franti/Spearhead - not solely Reggae but has the funk flavour with some island with it, Everyone Deserves Music is a great disc of theirs!
All for now,
Aaron

i listen to reggae artists such as TOK, sean paul, spragga benz, bounty killa, beenie man, wayne wonder, vybez cartel,buju banton, mega banton, super cat, elephant man, and the list goes of of hard and ruff dancehall artists as for roots i listen too of course bob marley, and his sons ziggy and damian marley, gregory issacs, sizzla, sanchez, ghost, and some others i just cant think of,
to keep up to date with new reggae is hard sometimes cuz these artists will relaese 3 songs in a month sometimes more.
if you wanna check out some tunes PM and we will set someting up so i can send you the songs

Used to work with a guy from Jamaica who introduced me to the real Reggae of the island. Bob was just the beginning: they've done amazing stuff with the genre in recent years.
And I couldn't believe the photos of Bob's birthday in Kingston. It's like Canada Day in... well, Kingston. Huge national holiday.
Is there any better party music?

I will not give up. My face is set,my gait is fast,my goal is heaven,my road is narrow,my way is rough,my companions are few,my guide is reliable,my mission is clear. I cannot be bought,compromised,detoured,lured away,turned back,diluted or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice,hesitate in the presence of adversity,negotiate at the table of the enemy,ponder at the pool of popularity,or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I will not give up,shut up or slow down....Blessed Be!

I don't like reggae.....
But I smoke weed,
I have a picture of Bob Marley on my wall with a blunt
And I have foot-long braids hanging from my head
(They're close enough to dreads)

Kim, i want you to seriously take this down, and go buy a cd
Linton Kwesi Johnson.
a brilliant man, above all a 'dub poet' with some killer reggae tracks tied down to his writing. a very serious, politically and socially influenced man, reflected in his obscure and stylistic writing. his socially progressive views, ranging from appartheid to zion to anything seemingly relevant to the struggle of humanitarianism, permeate through his poetry with style, eloquence, and grace. I could not give a stronger recomendation.
