Prince Buster made the track because Derrick Morgan (I believe this is the correct artist) had recorded a song with him, and then recorded the same track with Leslie Kong. Therefore, Prince Buster was furious because Leslie Kong had put out the song before he did and collected his revenue. --- I believe this is why the track was made, I have it in my notes but I'm too lazy to walk up the stairs to check if it's the correct artist. :) --- Just check with my best friend (Google)
I believe that there was some kind of feud between Price and Derrick.. i think derrick countered with Blazing fire.. if there is anyone who can correct me please do... this is just what i was ablke to come up with..
@sonetlumiere12345678 How is this racist? Not particularly politically correct in this day and age, but the message is solid: Don't try to be something you're not, and don't sell out your mates.
@OttoYamamoto I see what you mean. There is nothing that says racist in the lyrics but it's not a message of love and unity. It furthers the idea that people should be judged by their racial background.
@sonetlumiere12345678 - To a point; but then you have to look at the overall context of the thing, and the time period in which it was made. What was acceptable then isn't these days. And who knows if Prince Buster didn't have second thoughts or regrets later.
I've followed this thread in Derrick Morgan's songs. What was the feud. What was it all about. I've found three songs with the blackhead chinee man words

great track but it really expresses some racial tensions and friction, this song came out right after the riots against the Chinese community in Kingston.
It's good that you and other's post music video's that still shows the use of a record player because some young people dont even know what a record player is seriously

I'm really gutted that prince buster released a racist track like this. I really love his music but it feels like liking screwdriver or something!
