Meh,
not a fan of matisyahu, hes too jewish! nothing against jews some of my best friends are jewish but his band are amazing. But him as a front man? I kinda listen to him and his lyrics arent joyful and relaxed he seems really tight and i dont think thats what reggae should feel like, like his sort of rapping its weird... Its not got a ragga feel i dont think. Its no doubt offbeat music and cool however, ( check out easy start all stars feat him brill song )

Know what im saying?

Peace

Matisyahu found his roots in Jamaica where he studied after high school. His message and sound as you described not being relaxed can be compared to Peter Tosh and Bob Marley who's songs were about freedom, salvation, and fighting against the corrupt system. Not all of Bob Marleys music was relaxing. I would say less then 50%.

That's interesting. I never knew that about the wailers singer. I've never seen the wailers live. The main reason I can't fully get into Matisyahu is because he thinks smoking weed is poison...

Good stuff there growwww.

I am with you on Matisyahu, he really lacks flow and has an abrasive approach to his delivery. His fake Jamaican accent is too funny and his shtick obviously is not a representation of Caribbean life. Seriously, I thought he was Ali G. the first time I saw him! Pop music loves its gimmicks though........

anyways, here's a few more that I hope you enjoy.

I'm glad you like Sister Nancy, Bam Bam has been covered by so many people that its often thought that Yellowman did the original. Too bad because SN has some skills. It must be genetic because her brother was the famous dancehall DJ Brigadier Jerry.

...and speaking of Papa Briggy.....

...Sly chanting herb....

...and Nancy bragging about her pigeons..

That song was recently RMXD by Diplo on his Top Ranking CD.



peace.
