    This is truth. The Clash did reggae better than most when they were doing it. Even better than many of the originators. Disagree if you want, but this reggae fan of 45 years, knows what is truth.

    Not heard the song but I assumed they must have sampled it, and i looked it up n oh my gosh they did, so, in your words, how come those rizzle kicks guys stole the clashs' music? you dumb cockend how can you possibly think that the clash just released something a few weeks ago, when this video was posted nearly 5 years ago when rizzle kicks were probably 16, and the clash disbanded in the 80s, you stupid tard, you shouldn't own ears.

    True that. This actually sounded better than some original roots songs from that time. Some of the best reggae artists had such respect on them that they collaborated with Sandinista!

    jajajaja, si skedxful, fué un chiste, una ironía. salvo que los fabulosos estén tocando desde el ´79. Aparte tampoco es de los Clash el tema es un reggae de Danny Ray grabado unos años antes. saludos
