I knew Lion when I lived in London, and he told me it was for the early 80's times where so tough that a rat would eat a bottle as there was no food and no money, to go ben johnston meant not to eat
He obviously is influenced by Gregory and tries to sound like him.
But then this is reggae and not hip hop:nothing wrong with that. Loads of artists "copied" the styles and even the names of their idols. So what are you fussing about, guys? I feel the tune - if you don't, your choice..
yes man lion yout a dj pon dis, me see the man deh perform dis tune pon stage, and mi say what a man could buss it, only next artist me see could a buss it so with the dj ting was tippa , sing, dj and skank out all a the same time LOL .
the greatest songs you can't download on limewire because it is a peace off shit programme you'l need ares or a payed one ..haile selassie rastafari sastipe!!!
WOW!! Wicked cut worthy of the very best roots reggae. Nice One selectah!

top toon, we need this tune, still,
I and mi breddas would skank to this back in the day...I'm now 44...
Some say, things and time change...today my grandad passed aged 103, yes 103.
When he was my boys age (9 and 8) we were fighting Germans, there were no cars, computers, phones, and no Rasta...
Now, they forget why...
We need this music to save the souls of the yout ...
