  • BEST DUB TUNE EVER AND I HAVE BEEN GOING BLUSE FROM 16 AND IM NOW 50 YOU WORKIT OUT BLESSED BE

  • @MrNubian111

    I wish people still did blues. I weren't even born in them days though, (my dad tells me his stories) emptyin out yards to bring in the sound system, them gettin the rooms smokey like its on fire, lovers and skankers. Every1 knows where the yard is, come down, hear the vibes, have a smoke, have a drink, lean up beside a girl, everyone feels good. Nowadays yard parties are crap, too many people taking coke, making idiots out of themselves, music only about violence and hatred.

  • BEST DUB TUNE EVER AND I HAVE BEEN GOING BLUSE FROM 16 AND IM NOW 50 YOU WORKIT OUT

  • A my tune dat!

  • Fresh I say fresh after all these years.!!

  • Renegades of...DUB!!!!!

  • Still sounds good after all these years. Inspirational riddim. Farward warriors

  • Aswad's anthem, the rest was generally poor. Once they went commercialo they lost their soul. Shame as they had much to offer

  • I remember seeing them as a kid over Brockwell park early 80´s. Big shout the the Balham family Center.

  • ital lion rule shakka fool

  • They often support Madness at concerts and it always feels like I've paid 2 for the price of one.

  • @THESTAFFIECHANNEL MADNESS??!! THIS...IS....ASWAD!

  • @HecG Yeah im just saying I see these guys at Madness concerts.Have , since 1994..A very underated band in my opinion.Had they have been jamaican or american they would have been on the same platform as Bob marley or Jimmy Cliff.

    Still Legends in my book.

  • @HecG Yeah im just saying...Wicked band..wicked film aswell.

  • @HecG

  • TUNE!

  • bin tryin to find this tune ever since i watched aswad

  • Comment removed

  • Stop complaining and listening to this MASTER TUNE, surpassed by only one...Kunte kinte.....Ites!

  • Your dumb. First yall complain you don't want mainstream dub and then you say you dont want people hopping on this type of music. Artists need to make money and if people like the proper stuff then they will continue to make it instead of selling out smh. Plus whats wrong with Dizzee opening a younger generations eyes to some great music the UK produced? Some great fans you lot are...

  • brinsly n aswad shouldent of sold out n went shoulder pads and top of the pops espeshly working with shaka...... that is just it for me can never take aswad seriously after i heard dont turn around.... and as for dizzy rascal samplin babylon that was wrong nothing or no1 should ample them lyrics at allll untilll brinsly n aswad realsed warrior charge with them simpleeeee as we say weee cann tek no moreee of it......pop musicccccccc pepole just dont understanddd where things originate

  • Well Agree cheesy pop stars ruining every genre , its virtually impossible to find the song with the "cant tek no more.." vocal on and dizzee has probably just ruined reggea and dub for me, I liked listening to something i didnt hear everyday, now i can see a new craze startin to catch on and ruining it for genuine dub reggea lovers

  • sr1m would like 2 salute our family angus drummie zeb as 1 of d best drummer of any era also we would like 2 welcome u to go 2 sr1m youtube 2 c wot the boys family has taken the music furthur pioneers of a new brand of music chec it out

  • bloody fantastic .. top movie as well

  • when this came out we sold so many copies at the record store i worked in that we had to get a new "master bag" for it (in the vinyl days the masterbag held the disc whose cover was in the rack and had the stock details of how many were bought when written on it, absolutely the top live act in the uk in the 80's, don't begrudge them some chart success later,they had worked hard for a long time and deserved to make some decent money!

  • Aswad, in the old days. Iration sound. A new chapter of dub began, and people were taken away by the sound, but then things got cheesy when they got in the charts. Shame, these were probably the best dub band ever at their prime. They used to kill it with their vocal harmonies.

    Love their sound, love it.

  • @ncshuriken your totally right!! when music gets commercial it loses its essence and true power. especially in this time reggae sucks. BACK TO THE SEVENTIES!!! (and a likkle bit of 80's) STOP THE COMMERCIALISATION OF RASTAFARI MUSIC!! ONE LOVE, ONE DUB deep roots music forever!

  • @wrasta

    Yes I, roots sound forever!

    peace

  • @wrasta

    the truth

  • @wrasta commercial to make quick money! you wont stop people being lured by money! some of the chart stuff was still good reggae to me . the new music that comes from ja sounds cheap and soulless all together!

  • @wrasta the comercialisation of any kind of music is a terrible thing..

  • @ncshuriken everyone has to make a living Its called the music business. that's why they expanded their audience. I don't like their pop stuff but I understand why they did it. Good luck to them....

  • @ncshuriken your right and it's the same with UB40 as they were great between 1980-1982 and then the Labour Of Love bollocks.

  • dizzee rascal !!

  • lol white boi on point xD better then dizze version

  • in babylon

  • Goot to see this superb number on You Tube..

    Words can't do it justice.

  • wha does ital lion mean?

  • Ital means natural or wholesome, and in the Rastafari movement the lion is the symbol Haile Selassie, an Ethiopian emperor whom rastas believe is the reincarnation of Jesus.

  • ps. i take it youve recently watched Babylon, great film

  • yeah every comment in here is right this guys own . Greetings from peru i hope they can come

  • Classic, classic, classic. Words cannot describe how profound this track is as a reggae tune. Big up Brinsley, Toney and Drummie Zeb!!!! Aswad are of a kind.
