I think that in order to post to the level on Friday past 10 PM, you must blow at least double the limit on a breathalyzer

Dino, I knew exactly 2 Clash songs before you posted that- now I know three.
Please post an example of the Clash pushing hip-hop please?
Are you talking about that song Radio Clash? Or some other songs? I do like that song

Fred - couple examples:
The Clash had Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five open some of their Bonds shows in NY in 1981. They also had graffiti artists working behind them on stage one of their Tom Snyder TV show performances. And Magnificent Seven is one of several rap songs they recorded in 1980-81. Clip

Are you referring to Magnificent Seven (above)? Funk is definitely closer than hip hop musically, but he is definitey rapping.
Back to Reggae - Fred, have you ever seen the movie "Rockers"?

Sounds kickass- I put the mods on notice.
I have two kickass Marley documentaries, but that's about it as my collection goes- always looking to expand- thanks.

I've emailed the mods as well. You need this DVD. It is now my mission to get it to you. It's good to be the king (or at least upper management)

This is why I said Bob is the best- lyrically, musically, anyway you want to go. Period.

"Concrete Jungle" is probably my favorite Marley song, although I prefer some of the earlier, more sparse versions of that recording.
This tune (not Bob) always reminds me of my first real job. One of the women I worked with back then used to play this CD, and I realized that there actually was reggae beyond Bob Marley Yo, click it

I got that tune in my car, FB. And on the ipod, laptop, etc. Love it. Got his remake of Johnny B. Goode as well.
I don't know if Saul Williams counts as ska...prolly not. Like him too.
