AD: Chei! You “young” like that bobo in your avatarAreaDaddy wrote:Dillinger CB200 first album I ever bought
. You be top man o! Very few bobos been dey buy record when CB200 came out. Record store go get one copy and then charge 5 naira to make tape for everybody.My friend been buy CB200 and I go borrow the ting and no go return am for a very long time. The album had some kicking tunes – CB200, Cocaine in my brain, Smoke a chalice ina Buckingham Palace, etc. My elder bro come buy Dillinger’s next album – Bionic Dread, which was also firing.
Old school ragga was pioneered by U-Roy, it was called toasting back in the day. That him Go there Natty Dread album did not have a bad tune. My fav na Fire in a Trenchtown. What a wicked baseline.
Then King Yellowman come take things to the next level. For me he was the best of the old school. Bobo had everything, the rhymes, the humour, etc.
My other favourites were Peter Metro – he and Yellow used to lyrically yab each other, Lt Stitchie, and Brigadier Jerry.

which one una dey...why una dey harass me like this. I am a young-ish bobo, na my age mate dey dat my Avatar.
My elder cousin who used to live with us at the time was a heavy reggae fan and he was into all sorts of old school jamaican music, till today I have no idea where he got his influences from. Anyhow he arranged for me to get that record and I just loved the title track on the album back then. The LP go still dey our house for Naija even now.
That time also we used to have one ex-army guy that lived in our compound and the guy dey play him Max Romeo album like 30 times a day while smoking his herbs. I loved that album...."War in a babylon", "Norman the gambler", "Uptown babaies don't cry"...those were classic tunes.
Reggae was the music I was weaned on, although later on I joined the soul \ R&B wagon, but there is always a place in my musical heart for reggae tunes especially concious lyrics.

Yeah, I am a bit biased when it comes to Sugar Minott, but Dillinger is up their, a solid toaster, surpassinng his own mentor Dennis Al Capone.Ziontrain wrote:Nkume I like ya top 5, exceptI would put Tappa Zukie before Sugar Minott in there.
