[26ofjulymovement]

@ihave5gf

Randy's was a record store that 1st opened in the mid to late 60s in Jamaica. They were the most popular record store on the island. All major releases and indie records were distributed there. There is a 50th anniversary album that's out that profiles many of the hits that Randy's popularized and distributed. They're no longer in operation. They're like the Motown of Jamaica!! Hope that helps.

[NoodyHolder]

great dancer

[TheRickynow]

@NoodyHolder Fantastic share!

[26ofjulymovement]

Great scene!! Legendary Randy's Records in Kingston.

[symonebful]

Bongo Herman still lives in Jamaica and tour with several reggae artiste playing his congo drums!!

[smooth0707]

hahahah this guy has awesome moves

[undermislengteng]

is it just me or , were all the redeemable qualities of hip hop (graffitti not included) actually ripped from reggae /dancehall culture?

[lative]

hip hop is the son of reggae,

you are not trippin...

Everything hip hop did, was taken from reggae culture.

plus, kool herc, the DJ who is credited for creating hip hop is FROM JA and he brought the sound system and MC to new york.

[doctorsizzle]

@lative i mean EVERYTHING...POLICE and other english groups taking SKA and propogating it as THEIR style.

please.

[BROOKLYNBEAST226]

@lative Sooo True! Tell them again.....

[dannielladee]

@lative its not reggae this film is more of a dub sound pioneered by lee perry .

[skamark0007]

yep eek-a-mouse , yellowman, Billy boyo and little john were the first (although not accredited) rappers. when the sounds started to filter through from JA to new york The sugar hill Mob/Grand master Flash were the first to pick up on it

[10shutt]

so what happened to u-roy, king stitt,king machuki,u-brown,lone ranger,brigadier jerry,ray-i,trinity,al capone,scotty,trevor ranking,bojangles,ranking joe,prince jazzbo,clint eastwood,dillinger,sister nancy,althea and donna,lady junie,sister carol,general echo and a whole heep more before the 4 you mentioned

[SerenaBlackwoman]

Original (no rules) Rasta man skank! LOVE IT!!

[omalebilesorro]

da roots of hip hop culture!

[uchewbb]

chuuu

you nu see di power a di dance?!

[mikeygeneral]

Live it up Jah!

Bloodclaat - LMAO

I always wanted to just run into a record store and dance just like that. Even braver wearing a yellow sweat suit and red berry.

That was a mean piece a shufflin.

[7xrt463]

@mikeygeneral HaHa! You said it Breddah!

[uchewbb]

Man, that dance is powerful.

[BoogieKnight1976]

Natty dread skankin! Originator,cool operator!

[dreadlessdread]

The dancer is Dillinger

[ncbloom]

according to mikey general thats a dancer from the 70's known as brother jestus. the tune is dillinger without a doubt.

[mikeygeneral]

Yup that is Brother Jestus dancing. there is also a video on youtube of Dennis Brown having an outside concert in the 70's and Bredda Jestus was on stage dancing next to Dennis. He was a known abstract dancer in the 70's and a studio rat. Always hanging out at neighborhood studio's.

Only god knows whatever happened to him. He just slowly fizzled away out of sight. I heard that he moved to America and became a crackhead but i don't know how true it is.

[symonebful]

The Dancer is Not Dillinger...Please note that he is Herman "BONGO HERMAN" Davis.

[KidVolcano]

I love the white guy in the scene. I don't know if it's before or behind this clip, but his expression's priceless.

[kingwill86]

original shufle!

[Puchito]

I love this guy and his moves. Great clip from a great movie.

[thorney123]

How great would it be to walk in to a music shop and it be like that!?

[mrsolo54]

it used to be like that in Aquarius Records in Half Way Tree right beside Skateland propa tings pure vibes in the 90s,but when it moved to the plaza across the road it all fizzled out

[shushubat]

who plays that song?

[King1luv]

Dillinger "Cool Operator"

[louiecostello]

is it the same "riddim" or whatever as a tapper zukie song? cos it reminds me of tapper zukie

[tenorsaw1]

The name of the song is "Stumbling Block".

[moblackqb31]

Dillinger-cool operator

[slowrevdiesel]

Watch di ride!!! Original "Short Circuit" skanking....lol, bad nuh rass..lol. Nice clip iyah.

[kameshimcbk]

Nice!!

I luv this part!!

Cool operator!!

[rasbenjamin]

rudeboi styley

[ochibadbwoy]

long b4 chris brown we saw dancers who were not choreographed, but none the less demonstrated grace,style& fluidity. this bredren is not even a man you could classify as "young", yet if chris was around in his day, chris would be brought to shame. a lot of talent was around in jamaica in the 70s, but sadly the moves were not recorded or documented. dance moves like these were not seen anywhere in the usa in those days, but look at the moves that americans are using now. you be the judge.

[Amidat]

it's the same with rap music. What is an MC was a deejay - and what is a DJ was a selector. Soundsystems in Jamaica set the stage for rap in the Bronx.

[nishlord]

The three things in this film I've always wanted to do;

* Dance into a record shop like that

* Wear a tank top over a tracksuit, and get away with it

* Sit in a shit pub listening to a rubbish DJ, shout "I AND I WILL CHANGE THE MOOD" and take his decks over.

[dubwise5000]

One of the reasons I love YouTube. Coming across a clip like this and discovering other people loving the same scene/clip or what ever. Rockers is one of my all time favs. Great Post!
