This one is called Lovers Choice!
The Gargamel from the days he was at his best.
Buju Banton was born Mark Anthony Myrie in 1972, near Kingston, Jamaica in a poor neighborhood called Salt Lane.
Buju's mother was a higgler, or street vendor, while his father worked as a labourer at a tile factory. He was one of fifteen children born into a family which was directly descended from the Maroons, a group of escaped slaves who proudly fought off the British colonialists.
"Buju" is a nickname given to chubby children which means Breadfruit. The name is ironic in light of Mark Myrie's slim frame, but it is, nevertheless, the nickname his mother gave him as a child. "Banton" is a Jamaican word referring to someone with a superior attitude and a gift with speech, but it was also the name of a local artist Burro Banton that Buju admired as a child. It was Burro's rough gravelly vocals that Buju emulated and ultimately made his own.
As a youngster, Buju would often watch his favourite artists perform at outdoor shows and local dancehalls. At the tender age of 12 he picked up the microphone for himself and began toasting under the monicker of "Gargamel". His first single, "The Ruler" was released not long afterwards in 1987 under the production of Robert French.

The thought of going without ganja for a year is devastating to I. The thought of going 10 years is something else... The thought that love can be still obtained even locked up, na lock up I mind!

If more people were like you on YouTube, I could actually have more respect for them but oh, the creatures which spew their hate.
Anyway, keep the faith in the Most High, not in men, as men will always let each other down.
Blessed loved!
