Black Uhuru - What is Life

[isisdren]

well it gives the song emphasis on the ooooooon..ooooooi....wwwwat...­lliiiife..spooooongy...coooont­rol....wish she would stop moving like that..

[InsufficiantFunds1]

Or he could have done a big ganster line right off the key b 4 the show ha-ha-ha Long live REGGAE

[InsufficiantFunds1]

[Mr420Mus1c]

is andreww bees

[phambo101]

What's wrong with that dude's mouth?!!!

[pmenat]

MICHEAL ROSE is Number 1 Front Man...

[enzocanales]

q horrible canta ese man tratando de imitar el estilo de Mykal Rose

[Bugswani]

@fatnugz... The singer is Andrew Bees, who was recruited by Duckie a few years ago, and it is indeed Sly on the drums and Robbie on bass... Black Uhuru is indeed one of the pioneers in reggae music!

[Fatnugz]

The singer is Duckie and that is not Sly & Robbie. Robbie had ridiculously long dreads... You can all talk the shit you want to but this is Black Uhuru. And to musicians like myself, they helped put reggae where it is today. RIP Puma Jones...

[187wayztodie]

[funimuni808]

umm this is not Black Uhuru who is this??? oh my goodness my ears lol :/

[granddaddyjaystizzle]

@funimuni808 this is black uhuru, the band when they recorded dubbin it live. the singer must andrew bee. so it s effectively not mikal rose or junior reid.

[Maximiliano20]

Yeah i noticed that too

[frankjahlive]

No sera el cantante original pero escuchar la musica es muy buena. Roots Reggae

[JeRemYYanKEE]

pure drum & bass Sly & Robbie baby ♪ ♫

[Randrews10]

I agree, I am an avid reggae listner of Black Uhuru, who is that ras singing, because we all know that aint micheal rose neither is that Puma RIP. Anybody out there answer this for me, because Duckie reformed black uhuru before they made STRONGG, now did Garth Dennis from Wailing Souls start singing with them. Anyhow this is some good dubstep and of course Sly and Robbie on Drum and Bass.......lovely.

[parafriend]

life is a spell .. black ukuru

[gladyroc]

I THINK THAT BAD ASS BASS PLAYER IS ALSO IN VANESSA DA MATA'S BRAZILIAN BAND.

[trikaya23]

thias is NOT BLACK UHURU

[gmackavelli]

hes a makaveli ya cant tel who it iz his dreds coverin his face specially at the end

[TheLirioman]

recital de lujo bkn

[socalsands75]

Uh yeah, I know what they look like. I was just putting in perspective that they are probably some of the most successful music producers anywhere and in THEIR BAND they can have anyone up front singing they want.....

[Bushmasta777]

Great shit!!!!! This is NOT orginal Black Uhuru this is a big,bad fake. Where is Mikal,Duckie and Puma.This singa try to imitate Mikal Rose but he can't.

[caciquedemaracay]

@Bushmasta777 ENJOY MAN...................

[technocr8]

what is music..

<3

[fun2010K]

viva jah

[JakF]

all those who dont like the way the guy sings dont listen....nuff said....

[socalsands75]

I have to respond to some of this: Puma Jones sadly passed away from breast cancer some years ago. That is why she isn't in the group anymore. Michael Rose left Black Uhuru to become a successful solo artist years ago. Sly and Robbie are larger than life as producers. Andrew Bees sounds like Michael Rose and is probably a lot easier to work with on the road. They are giving someone else a shot at making it. Besides, Rose would want most of the money cause he is a star now!!!

[pimpspop]

@socalsands75 Sly and Robbie are there .

[grumpypant]

What is wrong with his mouth?!!!!

[Bushmasta777]

Hahaha...this guy try to imitate Mikal Rose and he can't

[caciquedemaracay]

@Bushmasta777 ENJOY MAN...................

[ericjungleboy]

That doesn't look like Puma Jones

[Bushmasta777]

Because she is not Puma Jones

[peters9nine]

I ordered this DVD today..... should have by next week Tuesday....

JAH!!!!!!!!!!

[cayate09]

black uhuru-.-......

[Iriebent]

This is not original Black Uhuru! Only Sly and Robbie from the Mykal Rose era is original here. No Puma, No Mykal, No Don Carlos. The dread a try sound like Mykal Rose. Good try though dread.

[kooobla]

Almost interesting that some would talk about this positive music like it was SHIT HOP or hate rock.

[BongoFury33]

Puma was a queen who never wore her tiara.

[shoalpatrol]

i cant listen to the hole thing.why he do that

[quijasno]

esta drogado por eso se le va la boca de lado

[grumpypant]

Now, why can't the lead vocalist keep his mouth normal while singing? His mouth is crooked when he sings!!!

[MOSCOWPATOIS]

black uhuru... THE BEST DANCEHALL-CONSCIOUS BAND FOR ALL TIMES!

[DancingET]

The drummer and the bass player suck ! They want to promote their name

as being great. The fat fuck face playing the guitar always miss a note just check 6:01.

the toothless drum player: You gotta learn from the beat of Carlton Barret the master !

The singer with an anus looking mouth: Go fuck yourself, you are not the original Uhuru lead singer, and your voice make me sick ! I paid a ticket to watch your show animals, and you were the worse I have seen.

[pmay222]

@DancingET so what he misses a note...at least its real and live...i think the guitar is superb...... im loving this

[mephy777]

@pmay222 plus they r all fucking stoned out of there mind

[tuskedbeast]

Interesting that Sly has ditched the electronics- they were such a big part of his sound, and he was a big proponent of hi-tech.

[brumszwitz]

to jest black uhuru jakie znam??? zjebane jak tupolew

[webanders]

Hey buttyscott, Check this Out!,

These guys have lived, prospered, fallen down gotten up and flew... they can wear what they want. Do you have anything more to do than tear down, when you should be building up?!! Uhmm? GET REAL and GET A LIFE>

[buttyscott]

[webanders]

These guys have lived, prospered, fallen down gotten up and flew... they can wear what they want. Do you have anything more to do than tear down, when you should be building up?!! Uhmm? GET REAL and GET A LIFE>

[selknirw]

big chune

[25million]

an original by black uhuru, but I cant figure out who in the band is actually original black uhuru?

I dont think thats Michael Rose singing, I dont see Duckie Simpson on stage & Puma passed away. That aint Sly & Robbie on drum &bass either.

So is this really Black Uhuru?

[DESERTHAWKIN]

@25million That is Sly and Robbie and Andrew Bees on the vocals

[MrVino666]

True to Jah!

[andantn]

[drspy77]

Anthem is the anthem of african bud really...

[caruzotube]

uuuff viva el reggae

[uacproductions]

this is african-american accent ya ignorant... what is life... life is a spell... what is life... no one can tell...

[azulnoel]

@uacproductions @uacproductions

No you are wrong to call ignorance - African-American accents are varied. It’s a big country, here in the United Snakes of AMerica

[marince66]

What is LOIF. Is this in a brummy accent?

[matiasmtmt]

como se corren de tiempo al final... igualmente tremenda banda y tremendo tema

[theHackerOfMayhem]

# this is not Mikael Rose gyes.... # but he was also a big voice like Mikael :) Legalize  People Your Life.... Njoy!! peace Brothers!

[lilmarleyman]

@theHackerOfMayhem PEACE

[edddollar]

CLASSICS :D!!!

[MrZoocrates]

...raztecs of the world, here I am in Mexico!!

[NatureFNboy]

That's Michael Rose with the rest of Uhuru right? After he reunited wit the band? This is a tight f'n recording, too bad most of the crowd was too busy getting drinks or smokin' spliffs to appreciate it '-)

[myownservant]

its duckie simpson, not rose

[sandeman465]

sly & robby rocks!

[coolmanfx]

c'est qui le mec qui imite mal mickael rose??

[WanderingMidget]

He's screwing up the chorus.

[sk8ergangsta2003]

how?

[WanderingMidget]

@sk8ergangsta2003

He's singing it in the wrong order.

[sk8ergangsta2003]

ooo. lol. sounds good to me. even if its the wrong order. It still sounds the same. But i can see how that would be annoying.

[lilmarleyman]

@WanderingMidget only the unity and looking bleak parts... i think lol

[ekafeliz]

buenisimo black  lastima los ignorantes

[bunbattybwoy]

wrong version

[wil579]

Sorry don't like this version,just the girt she's sexy.

[palaic666]

black uhuru my guhuru :D one love rastafarai peace...life is a splif

[hananekasmi78]

agreed, Rose did make it so so much better overall,,,,thanks and praises to the most high....

[srpickering1]

not seen the new band members before,remember seeing the originals years ago in meanwhile gardens notting hill

[a55455in]

I really dig the chick dancing in the background. She's got some sexy moves.

[Karma729]

I move like that when I have to take a shit.

[bribri111077]

It sounds so much different without the original members.

[winrelle]

Just does not sound right without Puma or JR or Mykal Roze upfront....Bless UP

[deadzep]

haha...i find myself irrationally annoyed by the shape he makes to the side of his mouth, to make the 'loyyyf' noise!

[JuraBL]

Rose did the same but it was his thing! This guy makes it looks like some kind of a retardation.

[Karma729]

I thought he was doing it intentionally also until I saw how fucked up his teeth are. He has a toothache.

[xXcheriXx45]

@deadzep dude its their accent and i mean shit dont be making fun of him what do u look like when u sing .....i wonder ...dont be such a douche

[deadzep]

@xXcheriXx45, several things:

- If you listen to the studio version, you'll find he doesn't make a 'loyf' noise for most of the time he sings the word 'life', it's just something he does for emphasisat the tail end of the song. (So it can't be his accent).

- So when he's making that shape with his mouth it's because he's putting out an unnatural sound.

- And I did say I was "irrationally" annoyed, I'm not acting like it's a really legitimate reason to get agitated.

[deadzep]

@deadzep Oh I just realised I don't know when they switched singers, could it be a different guy on this vid to the studio version? If so it's an even more unnatural sound he's making and I'm still pretty right to perceive it as weird.

[CASTECLAU]

yo tengo el dvd de ese concierto y esta alucinante....bueno,!!! maestros del reggae ese sly & roby. hay una cancion que no havia escuchado se llama original uhuru..tienen que escucharla!!

y maximo respeto al señor duckie simson.leyenda. viva el spongy reggae!!

[Redgy12]

[skandaa]

yeeeah oh oh

[leroydisco]

recuerdo un capitulo de Miami Vice donde sono desto, yo tenia como  7 años pero lo recuerdo, me viene a la memoria un ataud plateado flotando en el mar con esta cancion

[halwil03]

wow this is great! i usually like to listen to classical music but this has got m bouncing around like a card!

[Belaubodyboarder]

iloooooooooooooooooovedisSOOOO­NG!!!!

[raymondosp]

junior reid isnt black uhuru...

he sings like he's chewin a boxa spanners

[duppyconqueror08]

why does hte backup singer never smile? she is so solemn, it makes it look like she isnt enjoying herself :S

[boarizback]

back up singer, cant be that amazing, its not a pop band or anything were everyone has cheesy fuckin grins lol

[duppyconqueror08]

woah no need to be so aggressive in your response. it was simply one observation. does she crack a smile once throughout the entire performance?? im not asking for cheesy, fake grins. but she could lighten up. to me, when a performer doesnt acknowledge the crowd with a smile every now and again, it comes across to me as cold and as if they are unwilling

[halwil03]

what the fuck she's only in shot for about 5 seconds. you're a weirdo!

[duppyconqueror08]

actually she is shown a few times throughout the clip. why are you so rude in your response? if you have some inner rage, its better to go see a counseller or have someone in real life to talk about it to, rather than channel it towards fellow youtube members. peace.

[r3un1on]

that is not original black uhuru ! only the song is from black uhuru. please change title !

[urbanmaxi]

typo error - it should read, of course, UHURU !!!!!

[urbanmaxi]

Who are these people?

If it ain't Michael Rose and Puma Jones, it ain't. Doesn't anyone have the BEST Unhuru song with the BEST people? We should have the original to remember 4EVER - not just a substitute and pale imitation here. This is sad.

[Carlvskansas]

Why does it have to be about color ?

[duppyconqueror08]

i dont think he/she means in terms of colour, but the quality of the performance.

[kooobla]

+5 Irie star-her dance and dah riddem hypnotize I & I

[L23UCIAN]

the best song from black uhuru

[dalasamentos]

'Some Man Jah Bless'....Brilliant..

[nheatwole]

Duckie has always been with the band. He's over there rockin and backin up the lead vocal original style! As long as he's with the band it will ALWAYS be Black Uhuru!

Jah Love!

[wendybalisle]

Duckie IS Balck Uhuru

[b3erni3]

If you cannot stand another singer passing reggae vibe into others, please do not comment, as they say"

"IF YOU GOT NOTHING BETTER TO SAY, SAY NOTHING"

Love :D

[MermaidPrincess03]

No dude.. I love Andrew Bees.. it's just that when I first saw this I laughed my ass off seeing hem dance.. and it took me time to really appreciate the vocals.. since I am a big big Rose fan.
