I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THE CHANCE TO SIT AND SMOKE AND TALK TO THIS MAN! HE SOUNDS LIKE A VERY WISE GENTLEMAN YOU SEE THE FIRST PERSON HE THANKED WAS HIS WIFE:]
Why would they ever put all those other artists in the same category as burning spear..the man is on a totally different level and indeed more deserve the award
Ya'll I can't believe da lineup going against da father, foundation music this is. Seriously I hope reggea those not go mainstream which is why its such an earthly music, real music reaching out to the sufferers.
I'm really happy that Burning Spear won, yes. I have to believe that it is honestly a satisfying feeling for any musician to win this award. That said, the award will be placed on the mantle and the man will most likely just go back to playing and making music for himself and his fans. In the end, it's just an award and it must pale in comparison to the importance of playing one small show for him. As far as many of the comments, Sly and Robbie and Lee Scratch Perry - they are legends!
@jafrocubic Shaggy and Heavy D? I'm not so sure about them. Actually, Shaggy is a total fraud and has done little or [probably] nothing with his widespread appeal to advance this musical genre in any way. No way that guy is reggae. The antithesis perhaps.
Yes people Just because a black man whos father is a completely accomplished reggae musician... Hes gota be high! *sarcasm***... HE'S HAPPY! As he should be.. Ive seen their shows a few times and they're wonderful!>>> IRIE
obviously the nomanies has NOTHING TO DO WITH REGGAE!!!!! You cant just steal a whole lifestyle and call it yours because your accent wanna be jamaican.. what a shame to see the 1 love being torn by grammy awards:'-(
@MortenBoHansen How is a lifestyle being torn, because it's getting some recognition. And just because people like reggae done't mean they want to "be Jamaican". British groups have been "borrowing" from american blues, and soul singers for years. Nobody claims that Eric Clapton wants to be black. The world is smaller now, and people are influenced by a wide variety of cultures.
Lee Scratch was no wanker (RIP).....and neither are Sly and Robbie....they've played backup on many of the reggae albums you have...and of course Mr. Winston Rodney....a legend.
@firebaby7 it's RAS- TAFARI in amharic it's the ethiopian's emperor haile silassie's noble name RAS means 'head' as in king and TAFARI means the one everyone fears.
If that award was given to Peter Tosh ( may be rest in peace), he would have said :
"Keep your bamboclaat SIMboL of babylon for yourselves ! ", but I don't blame Burning Spear for giving in to Babylon system, the militant Reggae died with Bob and Peter !
Check burning Spear in the 70-80. He wouldn't have given a fuck about an award.
For me Reggea is everything because is very powerful music,is music that lead you to inner self discovery and discover who you are as humanbeing. For me Burning Spears is the most consiceous reggea musician after Bob marley,Dennis Brown, Joseph Hill, Jacob Miller. Iam always a reggea fan. Because of enlightement in this powerful rebel music. Jah bless them all Shela.
When you've done as much for people's spirit as Mr. Rodney, or perhaps even when you have learned to spell, perhaps folks can take your comments seriously, until then...
Reggae is awesome! I love to see great musicians like Burning Spear get the recognition he deserves. And next time, it will be aired on Live Tv! It's like Lucky Dube say: Nobody can stop Reggae, cause Reggae is strong!! And it is getting stronger each and everyday! One Love.
@NovaStraCe SCRATCH PERRY A WANKER??? He is responsible for a large element of what you call the reggae sound. You are very ignorant of what this music is all about and need to educate yourself musically. Til then...bun ya!
pliz dont be disrespectful, this is a very intelligent man, and has alot of positive things to say, u cld learn alot abt life lessons by listenin to him
