Junior Reid "One Blood"

Junior Reid found himself in a difficult spot when he joined Black Uhuru in 1986. He replaced Michael Rose, who had become quite popular as a longtime Uhuru contributor. Though essentially a good vocalist, Reid's style was so close to Rose's that he didn't establish his own identity. The group also suffered compositional difficulties and personal crisis during Reid's tenure. Puma Jones left and was replaced by Olafunke. They also didn't always get quality material or support from Sly and Robbie during this period. Reid departed in 1990 and began struggling as a solo artist to fulfill his considerable potential, with releases like 1991's Long Road, 1993's Big Timer, and 1996's Listen to the Voices.

[bigwilatl]

Rasta have to eat too. If the rappers paying to sample or guest on their song...Why shouldn't he? Who on here has purchased Jr. Reid music lately? How do you expect the man to eat and live.I understand the integrity of his music,but F that! are you going to feed his family?

[12jahwarrior]

@bigwilatl cause they speak against babylon and the system yet they fall into it if the money is good that makes you suspect,and in my opiinion not to trust worthy.you are what u do and how can u be against babylon if u are [part of it.i listen reids old stuff but as for the new im cool.u are like most people do whatever no matter what it does to your integrity as long as you get money and that makes them sellouts.stand for what u talk about dont fold at the first sign of cash.

[LionEntity]

Rastafari.

What's the song that starts at the end?

[bigwilatl]

@standalonesolid I understand what you're saying, but now there's no integrity and love for music. Its always about the mighty dollar. I don't think Game understands the origin or spirits of reggae... Most listeners now are only interested in music because of Videos. The artist now have to incorporate a visual thru videos to make the record. So yepp Like Sizzla kalonji say " Watch the ride on the Western journey- cause babylon is Funny! Respect

[standalonesolid]

@bigwilatl did the game not give him what was due? i dont know though i would had NEVER listened to the game had i not randomly stopped on BET cause i had to puff and the game one blood playing and listening to the lyrics or at least jr's i gained a new respect for rap at the time. being of mixed ethnic background and regionally isolated from family i finally hear something that gives me peace thinkin game respectin one blood or was he just usin to make paper for babylon with respect to no one
