Last verse:

Can't you see I can't wear gold chain
Can't you see I have no big ring
If you love me girl, come show it now, now
Don't love me for my pretty looks
Don't love me for my money
Just ambition me a deal with

Nice one

 

It's to compensate that other line he repeats a lot: "your pretty looks can't deceive me girl" But no, I love that song music AND lyrics.

 

I don't think I've ever heard of him before. Yay for new tunes!

 

Shaolin Temple, Sensimilla and Skylarking are among the most celebrated roots songs ever I think, all by Barrington Levy. He's legendary!

 

Asmodean knows his reggae music. What do you think of Ijahman, bro?

 

Oooooh I know Sensimilla. I didn't realize that's who sang it.

Good stuff.

 

Black Uhuru also did a very wellknown but completely different song called Sensimilla so you might think about that one. There are 2 really good ones called like that. I prefer Levy's though.

Ijahman is one roots artist I'm not really familair with. I'll check him out, any recommendations?

edit: the few songs I've looked up on youtube so far sound uninteresting to me. Mostly because of the sound of the instrumentals. A bit too polished perhaps? Not sure how to describe it.

The second half is at least as good!

 

Black Uhuru is the shit.

 

Black sounds of freedom and Love dub are the only albums I dig as a whole. Of most of their 80's albums I like only a song or two per album. I do like 80's dub stuff of them by Prince Jammy.
