Yellowman
 

I only know a few songs, but I'd like to know what albums are really good and which ones are not so. Where should I start?

Zungazungazungagazeng or whatever it's called is pretty good. That's the only one I'm familiar with at all.

Yeah, that's a pretty great song ... http://youtube.com/watch?v=tUjIl4_DYiU

I'm just listening to Black Ark Experryments by Mad Professor and Lee Perry, and if my knowledge of the english language doesn't mislead me, the second song on this album ("Super Ape in a Good Shape") is by Yellowman, which brought me to start this thread.

Mr. Chin
Nobody Move no body get hurt
I'm getting married

but if you are into him you should check out Lone Ranger, Lee Van Cliff, Toyan, Michigan & Smiley, & Nicodemus...

The Anthology has most of his toughest tunes
Galong Galong 85
Mr. Yellowman 82
Just Cool 82
One Yellowman 82

Are all tough albums, Yellowman has put in alot of work...

ah Mr Yellow....

mutually made the Niggaz Wit Attitude and Mr Yellow household names in the 1980s.

Mid 80's riddims are super tough Like

Tempo
Stalag
Sleng Teng
Real Rock
General

but artist wise

Nitty Gritty has a very haunting voice
Tenor Saw has the voice
King Kong is just wicked
Anthony Red Rose has some gorgon clash chune deh

these are some of the greatest singjays out of di yard. The clash/murdaration chune these men put out are wicked & have been raming the dance for years. Tenor Saw's Ring the Alarm is top choice & holds it's weight till this day but Nitty Gritty's False alarm is a priceless counter action. Red Rose's Tempo has to be one of the eriest tracks heard & King Kong's Trouble Again sound similar to Nitty voice but then again most of these singers had similar voices & style yet the contents of their lyric are dangerous...

ive never heard of yellowman? is he dub? if so, i do enjoy dub music, i own a buncha old augustus pablo, king tubby, and lee perry vinyl, so maybe id like to check this out?

No, it's early 80's dj over dub riddims. If you want dub check out Scientist, Keith Hudson & Mikey Dread...

its so nice to read about music that I know on this board vs all these unknown bands that everybody else here listens too..

do it, Jah. murdah.
