Re: What's the biggest Reggae Band/Artist in the USA? - 7 days ago
Is shaggy American because he served in the military? I would imaginary shaggy identifies as a Jamaican , as most West Indians I know living in the states consider themselves from wherever they born and grow. Biggest reggae artist that considers themselves american,,..... I don't know if that exists There's plenty of big headed Americans playing reggae music though....instrument or mp3 On seby SCRoots - SNWMF Phorum 2014

Re: Too Much Dancehall for 2014 - 20 days ago
Exactly, there is no dancehall on the lineup this year. Chuck fender is a stretch to call dancehall in the modern sense of the word, but a lot of younger artists sing roots music dancehall music, even American music ( generally to our dismay ) QuoteRhythmwize Just got back from Jamaica...In the taxi to Negril the radio was blaring "Everybody Do The One-Drop" by QQ and I'm thinkinby SCRoots - SNWMF Phorum 2014
Re: Too Much Dancehall for 2014 - 22 days ago
QuoteDJ Treez Feel free to call me ignorant but I consider straight-up dancehall artists to be like Mavado, Popcaan, Future Fambo, Beenie Man, Buju Banton, Vybz, Cham, Gyptian, Khago, Adonia, Elephant Man, Tony Matterhorn etc, etc. etc. Even some of these artists release more rootsy tunes.

Re: The State of Reggae - 30 days ago
A combination of Sean Paul having no tunes in rotation in US, 7 years since his last album success is a lifetime for the demographic that was purchasing this, and records sales are highly down. I doubt de Peazy is to worried about it. Sean seemed to have really good timing with the rise in popularity with everything red , gold, green during those years.by SCRoots - SNWMF Phorum 2014

Re: Chronixx is San Diego mid June... - 6 weeks ago
Chronixx seems like quite a humble youth, with a father in the business, and many including his artist manager to attempt to show him the pratfalls of music business and give guidance. Doesn't seem like someone into any hype creating or needing to be someone besides himself on stage. Everyone gains stage presence with experience.

Re: Gladiators ft. Droop lion ... New music - 7 weeks ago
I am not sure of this but the interview I heard live today with droop lion, gitsy mike from the gladiators from on the road in France , I think they said Albert Griffiths was passed the phone and interviewed as well. Could have been one of the other Griffiths but sounded like an older gentleman. Droop Lion is a nephew of one of the gladiators, in the Gladiators lineage as he said.by SCRoots - SNWMF Phorum 2014
Re: Gladiators ft. Droop lion ... New music - 7 weeks ago
Anyone hip to this? Hearing the second tune right now burning and looting with gladiators ramming the riddim. This tour is selling off in France right now. Is any ones tapped into "ghetto life" or has this yet to reach CA.? I think CA and SN would receive this amazing . He won't be backed by gladiators forever so this is the summer to make it happen !by SCRoots - SNWMF Phorum 2014

Re: Tribute to the legends in San Diego - 7 weeks ago
As shitty as an experience as you had outside Tribute to the legends , it's shocking you would presume there aren't people having the exact same problems you are having at the Carnie- Roots fest you highly rate. Why you think the Carnie-roots fest is run any different is funny to me.

Every scene has a complete and total clown that is the " reggae ambassador " . To cool for school, and just helpless hapless hopeless. I don't know this ambassador , but I know she is not an acceptable MC for club show , stage show, concert or festival in my times seeing her absolutely blow it. I know it's not easy, what if it was you ip there blah blah blah... Hire a respected MC or juby SCRoots - SNWMF Phorum 2014
Re: JA veterans think of Midnite? - 8 weeks ago
So succinct, well written and apparently the truth. I heard Muta going off about midnight in a positive way the other show but he seems to really enjoy Attempting to expose Jamaicans to non Jamaican music and point of views.

No reason for the man to stoop , the "scene" in California can get elevated to a higher lever if ones on the business side strive to keep do better than the last time.

Really good showing from Iba Mahr Friday night. Connected well with the massive. Definitely worth checking out , thinking about catching another show this weak. That said . How do you not have instrumental tracks for your riddims though? Playing your CD and singing over your recorded voice coming through the speakers seems not well put together.
