[thundaleg]

Where is the love yo? fuck fighting this is reggae!!!

[Swanshoez]

shut the fuck up and enjoy thre music!!!!

[rudeboi597]

wasnt a threat at all mate just a true statement n if you cant comprehend english read a fuckin book

[ShadowCrashed81]

It's so cute that people are trying thir damndest to reclaim the word 'skinhead' from racists. People know what it originally meant, they don't care. Definitions change.

[radicalaceshasbrin]

@ShadowCrashed81 Except almost all skinheads aren't racist so it doesn't make any sense. The few hammer skins that identify as skinheads are few and far between and most people the media labels as skinheads do not identify as skinheads and even less even have shaved heads.

[ShadowCrashed81]

@radicalaceshasbrin "almost all skinheads aren't racist"

Citation needed.

Also numbers don't matter

[radicalaceshasbrin]

@ShadowCrashed81 Citation needed? Me being one, traveling the world, going to numerous oi shows and reggae clubs.

[ShadowCrashed81]

@radicalaceshasbrin That's uh, not reliable. You could say anything to make your argument stronger. It doesn't make it true.

[radicalaceshasbrin]

@ShadowCrashed81 I'd like to see your credentials proving otherwise.

[ShadowCrashed81]

@radicalaceshasbrin I don't think you know what credintials means.

Also, whenever someone hears "skinhead" they think nazi. Now of course you're going to say "NO! In my tight knit group of friends we know what it means!" Which I'll respond with, "Well your friends aren't the majority. You lose." Then you'll call me a few bad names and then you'll stop messaging after I laugh at you a couple of times.

[radicalaceshasbrin]

@ShadowCrashed81 I can name around 300 people who are skinheads that I know personally are not nazis. How many nazis can you name that are skinheads?

[ShadowCrashed81]

@radicalaceshasbrin List them for me. Also none because I don't associate with nazis. Besides I think you're missing the point. The meaning of skinhead has changed, deal with it.

[radicalaceshasbrin]

@ShadowCrashed81 I can list 300 names in several youtube comments and you would have no way of proving me wrong. I don't know how you don't think that that is believable though, if you knew anything about skinheads you would know there are MANY. And the meaning has nothing to do with having a shaved head and nothing to do with the subculture, so you can go call a real skinhead a nazi, I just hope it's not a SHARP you are talking to cause you might end up in the hospital.

[rudeboi597]

@ShadowCrashed81 I can tell you one thing mate! You ever call us SHARPS a nazi your gonna regret it! i dont care what you think you know.. you dont know nothin apparantly

[ShadowCrashed81]

@rudeboi597 I'll be scared when that threat makes sense.

[aBagOfGruis]

@ShadowCrashed81 actually,only uneducated people who make asumptions about things they know nothing about think that. Most people know the difference between skinhead and nazi.

[ShadowCrashed81]

@aBagOfGruis No they don't.

[MyGuitarist1]

[jmikes1derboy]

Just got turned on to "toots and the Maytals" recently by reading a bio about bob marley, they are right up here with the top reggae music scene back then. really enjoying listening to their stuff. good post man

[countryman1973]

OMG!!! dis is a BIG CHOON!

[olifantgamer]

goed nummer bedankt man

[joemangg]

@Beaner195 polly n accident

[MrSertz]

My, (by far) favorite Toots song, soo gooood! Who ever doesn't like this, is a moron, and is most likely a very unhappy individual.

[MrAblack1]

@MarleysDiciple--I am a huge fan of Bob, reggae, rocksteady, and ska. And I think you are right--element for element in the music, this is the best reggae song ever! It brings the joyful sounds of the Kingston's ghettos to the rest of the world. I have one question--maybe you can answer it. Is the version of this by the Jolly Boys, who played from the late 30's to the 50's, a recent cover of this tune, or did the Jolly Boys sing it originally?

[CharlieBBoy12345]

@MrAblack1 according to discogs, Toots wrote this one.

[MrAblack1]

@CharlieBBoy12345 --Thanks brother! When you listen to the lyrics, it they are almost identical. I guess that means that the Jolly Boys, when they had a sort of "come back" in the 90's, must have covered Toot's work.

[CharlieBBoy12345]

@MrAblack1 you're welcome. I'll try and check their version out. I watched the Jolly Boys on Jools Holland's show not so long ago - they've got a nice old vibe going.

[mikebt2000]

One of the best Festival songs from yesteryear!!! Memories of growing up in Spanish Town, Jamaica!!!

[FlakeyFreakout]

Lovely stuff.

[jonnybergins]

classic

[nismo00009]

big fucking tune

[Fireperv]

Toots Hibbert , the equal of Otis Redding in my book, one of the most soulful voices ever !

[gibbogle]

@Fireperv Agree!!!

[MarleysDiciple]

this is probably the best reggae song ever

[gibbogle]

@MarleysDiciple

Is really reggae? I thought it was ska.

[MrBowskii]

@gibbogle its ska !!!!!!!!!

[neosmedia]

@gibbogle This is the founder of Reggae

[BillAnderson65]

skank it up - stay SHARP

[138Scarecrow]

how does this only have 30, 000 + views, and stupid trashy music has 2 million? I simply Do not understand

[nanku42]

@138Scarecrow Cuz the world is fucked. That makes this music, which we love so dearly, better in my opinion. The fact that this music was made and will be with us until our end gives me incredible comfort & joy. Do you and spread good will & positive energy into the world and enjoy your time here. One love.

[0dditT]

@138Scarecrow

i agree 100% , stay free.

I still don`t know what Pomps are. Pompadores? Anyway.... A great sounding song which I can`t decipher. Just luv it!

[kamoodi]

pomp is short for pompous

someone who boasts about things they don't deserve

he's saying humble yourself

"so tonight can be a happy night"

easy

[royhaworth]

A great classic! I've been playing it for ages and ages. Cheers!

[meandot]

Hell yeah. I've been playing this one for acouple years now and I actually probably will until I die.
