>>> Without a doubt he means Prince Buster.... check the original of this..... Funky Donkey - Bernard Pretty Purdy.... who was taught how to drum in Reggae by the Wailers.... he did 3 tracks with the Wailers on JAD label.... his drumming under Rocksteady - Aretha Franklin later used this Reggae style....

@12stepmaster Yep, I checked it out, really great, thanks!

i've noticed that, too haha. might be one of the first soundclash/diss tunes right here

[Steamstock]

There was a lot of rivalry even in the early days. Take Prince Busters - Blackhead Chinaman for example dissing Leslie Kong and Derrick Morgan followed by Morgans own Blazing Fire.

@moLeOnPoT Yeah, sounds like it, not only the "Prince" bit, but Alton also mentions Orange Street.
