Anyway, anyone else into the music of Jamaica? I'm talking about reeeeeal reggae, mon...None of this Shaggy shit. Although, he was dope once upon a time...
Everyone loves Bob, but if you like his flava there are plenty more where he came from...Beanie Man is OK if you like your dancehall, Elephant Man can rock the boat, Burning Spear is a legend, The Abyssinians certainly have some spice...but for me, Buju Banton is the way, the truth and the life...Inna Heights has been on my stereo consistently for the last 4 years...It just doesn't get boring...
Well, if you know of another...BIG IM UP HERE! I'm interested in diversifying my reggae collection...
One Love - as Bob said, many moons before Blue wrecked the saying.

Old school artist. Another one you've left out is U-Roy, many consider him to be the originator of dancehall and in many ways emceeing. Here are bios for both artists, if you're gonna talk Reggae you have to start from the beginning.
Ben Harper does make Reggae tracks, he also sings with the same passion and spirit as the greats like Bob Marley. You should check out Ben Harper & Ziggy Marley with their version of "Get up, stand up", it rocks!

As I live and breathe da life! Mus' be lightin' a fire an' everyting for da greatness of dem others in da Marley clan; Damian's 'Welcome To Jamrock' is irie, for true. So is dat joint by Ziggy by de nom of 'Dragonfly' - He even speaks to de bees in dere! True down one and take ya for!
Silently, I mus' be salutin' sum of dem Beenie Man songs: 'D-O or G-O' is right! How Fari, the mostest new shine is coming from Mishka and his sittin' on de boat songs. He can sing like a river.
