[eddyvideostar]

Question: I had heard a reggae music song of which I do not know the name nor the artist: the introduction of the song was:

"Big shot, is all you've got!"

Of which was shouted with dynamic power through a reverb, or echo chamber mix, before the song/music begins. The rhythmic style is that of the mid 1970's or of the 1970's era, with the rhythmetic off beat skank rhythm guitar style, consisting of some singing and spoken lyrics.

If anyone is familar with such, please indicate. Thanks

[warmneasy]

yeah that intro came from the artist called....big youth..from the album & track called..screaming target..

[mx2600]

Was there at this dance with some skinheads friends.

Complete shit ! Shitty public ! Too expensive place ! Shitty selectors. What the video doesn't show is when the selectors put scratchy records and have to replace them in a hurry.

They don't even mix with original records and those which were played aren't difficult to find, especillay when you come from England, especially for a record label like Trojan.

Shame on you Trojan !

Wonderful...... thoroughly enjoyed watching this

[powerman2g]

This man is a legend. His contribution to Reggae and Hip Hop is grossly understated. He was the first artist who started using samples of other songs. He used "Mr. Big Stuff" by Jean Knight in the song he's doing at about 6:05. This was long before Hip Hop started. He is right about reggae and hip hop. He should know, his work pioneered both styles of music.

[blakbeltjonez]

i'm pretty sure the tune is a version of John Holt's 'Sister Big Stuff" - which makes sense, because both Alcapone and U-Roy deejayed atop many of the top ranking Treasure Isle rhythms of the day. this video is almost exclusively Treasure Isle, except for "Liquidator" at the very end.

Alcapone is half right about the deejay effect on rap - James Brown, Alvin Cash, etc. records were highly influential in the late 60's for the US and Jamaica as well,

it was more of a cross-pollination.

[powerman2g]

I like your explanation . After reading your comments, I realized I need to study more about the history of rap. Thanks

[tonsils77]

Wonderful - when this man played Brighton thanks to John Missouri's promotion, he mashed up the dance big style ....
