[blondekaris]

Someone with sense:XgreenjacketX" We're all the same - we're all working class with a crap education. We need to look at our common enemy: the upper classes and the Government. All MP's attend Eton and study with the BNP candidates - they are NO different from the BNP, plus how many working class MPs are there? They don't allow social elevation for working class people, black & white. Apparently (according to the rich), we 'can't be bothered to work' & we would rather live on estates in poverty

[MrJagsusa]

killuinasecond... u try chatting peace with a name like that!!!!! seems to me as if you need educating son

[satij]

killuinasecond....u obviously a likkle pussy bwoy who dont remember them old days, where dem nf come mash up ur family and bredrins back in the early 80s otherwise u'd have a differnet stance, like all de sound systems did in dem days.... pussy bwoy... and i mean bwoy in de best sense of de phrase....coz thats wot u are....

[killuinasecond]

[evanspierre]

if i have ever seen an un educated individual look and read this comment you think you know but your just a selfish bouy..learn fi grow up 21st centry we in pain dont solve pain ya fool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[killuinasecond]

[justvibez71]

wah wah wah wah

[killuinasecond]

you need to grow and stop being so bitter towards other cultures- that guy hating entire race - the riots back then and even slave trade aint nothing to do with most whites today- I THINK I KNOW? i think i know what? things in life are hard so what work forward instead of hating diff cultures- it aint all about one mans culture being to blame- look at hip hop bullshit- poetry is one thing it aint now adays- drugs and murder and rastas smoking weed all day doing what??? dont tell me shit bruv-

[killuinasecond]

on behalf of all southall men satij is the neighbourhood pussy, he hates white men like a rascist dick and now hes mad at me and whats to meet up like internet dating? why is that bruv - u want white dick or something? i tell you what u faggot meet me at your girl friends house cos she like me to teach you HOW TO FUCK LIKE A MAN

[justvibez71]

internet dating????? wasn@t internaet dating... was to fuck u up motherfucker... but then again as everyone said u a p[ussy bwoy!!!!...lol.... come terst the i ...rasta fari...

[justvibez71]

u a man... u a pussy bwoy....wot part u can do anyting like man... ur nudda on de other hand can coz she have cock unlike u my likkle motherfucking pussy bwoy son of a whore

[justvibez71]

killuinasecond...u are the REAL TWAT.... pussy bwoy...motherfucker...go home to ur mama....u slut...

[justvibez71]

tesco@s doing kleenex tissues for £2.00, i strongly suggest you go buy some, cos u the one crying like a little girl, mr killuin a second, and why have u got that name in the first place if u trying to preach rightousness, seems to me like u@r a custard short of a pudding mate, mate who am i kidding, i@d had to have a mate like u...ur a 100% kuri chod!!!

[killuinasecond]

LOL your mum and your girl needs cleenex u gay boy, cos they got MY custard all over their sexy faces- u want me to talk dirty to you is that it IS THAT WHY YOU WANT MY EMAILS BATTY MAN? u and ur mum keep coming back for more custard.....arrgggggghhhhh thats good u bitch open wide

[killuinasecond]

justvibez71 ur mum aint a whore bruv shes too nasty to be called a whore shes a cocker spaniel- i got to keep her on leash to stop getting her arse fucked all day and night cos she looks so good

[justvibez71]

looks like someone touched a nerve. I don't understand killuinasecond? Dont think you quite understand yourself either. First you go on about this subject in a normal manner, then you lose control, and show the rest of the people on you tube, your true self, which i think is a sad person

[SAIselecta]

Kick that style...wicked wild! ^_^

[XgreenjacketX]

its a real shame that we had to fight with our white brothers for peace, but at least today we can say that our working class white brothers are our brothers, we just need to infiltrate the middle and upper class john bull rum swigging swines - black and white unite XXX

[XgreenjacketX]

and then came crack cocaine and fucked us all up

[snksone]

lots of samples

[Raggamuffin23]

Movie is great i'd give it 10/10 but there's one criticism there r so many aspects drawn from the quadrophenia Mod Cult film i mean u can hateme for saying so but there are no other riticisms but i wud say generally all mod cult films are the same

[westwaytv]

My favourite line: "Your ting? Your ting? Fucking calliweed & sound system your ting" could have been my old man talking to me! maximum respect for loading this clip this film had a massive impact when it came out

SHAKA IS THE KING OF ALL SOUND SYSTEM!!!

[tony2329]

luv the bit where beefy nicks the video camera and the other guy says " where's rest of thing, beefy says what thing? he says metal box ting!! useless beefy it's not going to work!!

[MILH33]

I have to agree with BBmatic. This is some of the best 8 minutes in film. Wicked. Im bubbling as we speak!

[MILH33]

Beefy don't ramp boy!

[BBmatic]

I might give Bobs Bar a swerve as it goes but again I say:

the greatest 8 minutes of video I've seen on youtube

[MancunianMagic1]

bumped into Brinsley and spun a few old tunes in Bob's reggae bar, playas las americas, Tenerife.....this film was a big part of conversation......new recession, more unrest, a modern remake?

[galuidi]

There already has been a modern remake...8 MILE!!! Has The Em and his crew been watching this? Bunch of wanka!!!!

The Dub in this film...bbbrrriiiillll!!!!

[adamusein]

This film came out in 1980 just before the riots. But for those around at the time, apart from a few idiots, they were NOT 'Race ' riots..Black An White Unite to fight, Smash Down Babylon! Everyone sick of the intolerable PoLice Tactics=outright Harrassment.'Was no mystery/ we were makin history! LION!!

[4nathaniel]

[vverrtts]

[sunil19791979]

Nothing captures the essense of this time, and this struggle both musically and socially more then this tune....awesome....true Rasta music....i been playing this tune through my old school 18" stacks forever, and every run brings the same energy.

[rangstasmamma]

so many memories lorna notts

[blammer21]

last song is warrior charge by asward!!

wicked tune.. most of that film was in deptford

[mattdykes]

Wicked clip.

If anyone's after a copy of this film, try the African Video Store in Dalston, Hackney. I got a (pretty rough) copy in there a couple of years back. Watcheable quality though.

[slippery42]

btw i was the only punk stepping,, iwas the the only whie fell in the dance, girls loved me

[slippery42]

i saw shaka at phoebies just before he did his stretch .. was part of forest gate steppers. he was top bollocks dj. 44 now looking back back at those years,, does anybody remember norwich road or abbysinians club?

[jeevan109]

You can get another cut of johnny clarke - babylon on shaka label but the one that shaka is playing in the film is an unreleased dubplate

[PennyTraition]

"Possibly the finest reggae film of them all..a well directed,immaculately acted view of ghetto life in Brixton.." Fred Dellar,Music Critic,'NME Guide To Rock Cinema'Shaka's mix on Johnnie Clarke's'Babylon'actually feels like the awful discomfort I feel when wathching this..The very end has every hair on my body upright and leaves me electrified and angry..Thankyou so much for this..STAND FIRM ! X

[405line]

The tune being played is called actually BABYLON(the film was named after the tune although warrior charge was the main tune in the film) by Johnnie clarke..it was released a 12" in the uk (there may be a 7").Go find.You may find the the tune on an late 70`s/early 80`s johnnie clarke album(MR Clarke was one of them).I think they cut the albums in england.Shaka music(label) may have had some had some production input.(call them as shaka was/is close to Johnnie Clarke.)

Hope that helps you.

[OrthodoxReuBen]

JAH SHAKA can't done...Pure UK Stepperz run tings!!!

[FabeGuinee]

blessssss muy roootsss dedicado a todos los rockers de chile iiiiiiiii wah protection blesssssssssssssssssss

[CBB2BD]

WICKED !!! Anyone has an idea what the first dub is ?

I think Jah Shaka but cant figure out what tune. Any help welcome

[1962stones]

babylon by Johnny clarke

on jah shaka label

[BBmatic]

There is that version too but the first cut from this clip is a dubplate of an alternative vocal Johnny Clarke voiced over the same rhythm track - called "Jah shall give us the power" - a rude vocal never released that I know of. For me the best (released) version of the Babylon vocal is a 12" on Cha Cha label-- much heavier than the Shaka label version. peace

[CBB2BD]

cheers mates

[Crazeski]

Big film, big tunes wicked!

[RamsesThe2nd]

Ital rootsman badda dan de whole a dem. Bless Ras Tafari king of kings.
