Here's a song I have always loved. Don't know how yall feel about it, but I think it's groovy. I love Reggae, though, so it's no wonder I love this.

Go, Ron! Hell yeah. You know I love little Roxanne Shante. She was such a cutie when she was young. Don't care about all the controversy, then or in recent years. Just care about the music. And that little girl had it goin' on. IMO, she had the only Roxanne's Revenge worth it. She was a little scrappy kitten. lol. Always worth a good listen. I posted her video about 15 pages back, lol. Here it is again, for those who loved her as much as I did.

 

[kimrose]

I know this video was posted some umpteen pages back, at least I think it was, but here it is again, because it is so awesome and definitely deserves to be posted more than once. This is one of the finest songs I have ever heard.



ETA: My only complaint is that it is too short, but I resolve that by listening to it over and over. lol. Replay is a great feature.

 

[kimrose]

Don't know if yall have ever heard this, but I love it. It is just so fun to sit back and chill to good music. UB40 was so awesome at Chill. Chilled for hours on this band over the decades. And who don't love Eddy Grant?? One of my favorite songs of all time.

Yup.... repost all day., but a different version...The label "PopArt" was one of the first hip hop rap labels (indy)..... established in Philadelphia by Lawrence "LG" Goodman. Most of the Early artist from NY and Philly traveled to Goodman to press records, and get them released. Before "Cold Chillin" was established, PopArt pressed records for Shante, Shan, Biz, & Craig G.... as well as local artist, Schooly D, & Steady B... Pop Art also introduced the world to "Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, who was well respected before their big pop hit "Girls Ain't Nothing but Trouble...(which MTV oversaturated, and pushed Jeff and Prince into a "direction", and eventually stardom)



If you find that Shante Record original print "Roxanne's Revenge", its worth about 40 bucks... you can get get later re-issues for a lot less. It sounded so terrible quality wise because the recording was from Mister Magic's Rap show, and you can hear him in the background... it was just a freestyle over the "Roxanne, Roxanne" UTFO track...... but eventually they went to the studio and recorded a proper version, with the beat you are familiar with. (this is why the two versions we posted sound different)

Was never a UB40 fan..... Reminds me of the Family Guy episode where Stewie has a UB40 license plate on his Big Wheel and tries to entice a little girl by telling her... "If you like your reggae watered down, and acceptable at weddings.... hop on!" Hahaha....

Now Eddie Grant on the other hand..... "Electric Avenue" was hard... , even though it was pop... when I was a kid I would ofter hear that mixed with "The Tide is High" (Blondie,posted in another thread some time ago), and "Pass the Dutchie", (Musical Youth, which you may have posted?)....... at parties DJ's/Selectors.......would really go in deep with Barrington Levy, Augustus Pablo, The Wailers, Culture, Burning Spear....etc.... if the response was what he was going for...hahaha..

He's gifted, if he was only born 20 years prior.... the teenagers in Brooklyn love him... which is good, he has something to say..... and the old school cats like us recognize his talents.... He would be posted more, but obviously videos don't sensor lyrics anymore.
