Yellowman - Rub A Dub Play

Yellowman and Fat Head showcase why the former was king of the sound systems and how together the two DJs were an unstoppable force on the scene on this 1982 hit single. Bringing the exuberance of the dancehalls straight into the studio, the pair bounce off each other's toast, bragging about their talent and, of course, Yellowman's enviable power over the ladies. They're having such a wonderful time that the mood is absolutely infectious.

Overseen by Junjo Lawes, he inevitably created a fabulous rhythm for this number, the bass line so heavy it's a wonder the studio woofers didn't explode, the drum beats as sharp as a razor. Add splashes of bright brass and breezy keyboard, and Lawes conjured up another winner.

17,000+ views for this? I hope all of those people realize this is DEFINITELY not Yellowman and Fathead as alexdoherty 1984 states in post for video. Ummm....can you change the text on this? Believe me and everyone else, it's not correct.

Nitty Gritty & Tenor Saw, ok for the untrained reggae listener perhaps, but this is kinda unnacaptable, but still i repeat the vibes big!!
