Burning Spear ft Chezidek & Tony Rebel Live Jam (by Adjovi44)
BURNING SPEAR REASONING WITH TONY REBEL AND CHEZIDEK, DROPPING GEMS LIKE HE’S CLUMSY…
“WE CHOOSE TO BE ‘WEAK’, COZ WE CAN ALWAYS GET STRONG, IF YOU STRONG AND TUN WEAK YUH CYAN COME BACK.”
“SING FROM YOUR STOMACH, DI THROAT SINGIN NUH WORK”
MEDITATION BEFORE PERFORMANCE WITH NO INTERFERENCE, “BEFORE YUH RUN ONTO THE STAGE AN TUN FOOL”
A true artist is focused on his work.
It’s not a hype thing to pull chicks or be the coolest dude around. That’s the amateur, giving it a shot for some neighborhood notoreity. This is why dancehall is going through so much crosses right now, and hip-hop and many other genres as well, because the balance is gone… Making music should be a business yes, but leave that to the businessmen. Artists promote themselves as being nothing but cash cows to be discarded by “industry people” like it a good thing and then wonder why they were abandoned when the next hype thing comes out… 90s hip-hop is near and dear to me, but it was awash in wannabes and fake thugs, it’s no wonder that shit died painfully, And then the baller era completely inflated the true worth of the music being put out… why dancehall modelled itself on this around 2001 is beyond me, I guess the Shaggy & Sean Paul money had everyone in the biz thinking they could be a pop star. Now were stuck with ‘Island Pop’, quite possibly the most disposable music ever made.
If you wanna REALLY get those euros, and that yen, and those naira just be yourself and be good. Burning Spear will tour until he is physically unable to. Along with many of his roots reggae peers who put out timeless records. You cannot say that about most artists of any genre for the past 20 years, maybe longer…
