  • Buju Banton rose from humble beginnings in Kingston to one of the greatest musical icons to come out of Jamaica. At his peak he ran into legal trouble that almost ended his life but made a stunning comeback worthy of a movie script.

    Great write up on Buju, just an addition you needed to include as well. Wayne Wonder was the one who took Buju from his home in Kingston and drove to Clarendon to perform. That wasn't the first time Wayne Wonder did this. He also wrote Boom Bye-bye for Buju.

    It must've been great to see him perform post-release. I love countless songs (though there is one I no longer sing). He's a such dynamic live performer. I was mad at him for getting caught up with a career informant discussing coke! "Driver" seemed like foreshadowing. I heard NYC hustlers were mad at him for exposing their business dealings w/ that song.

    • @loveheals6184
      @loveheals6184 8 місяців тому

      Weird, how? The irony of your entire commentary escapes you. So to paraphrase you, you have "no clue of Africa" if the alternative to "Nigerian narrator" was Senegalese. Totally different intonations, pronunciations & languages spoken with perhaps one (Fulani aka Peul/Toucouleur). That's like saying if someone isn't from Tamil Nadu, India he's surely from Busan, South Korea. 😂 They sound nothing alike. Now THAT'S funny 🤣. You make presumptions about what he knows of Jamaica even as you conflate West African nations. I was going to say if you're Jamaican you'd understand why I say you're "bright" or sentences show that you "dunce BAD". However saying, "peace and live"(sic) rather than "love" elicits a side-eye. At least you acknowledge his love of the people you call Ethiopian family. I can finally say, "(I)Give Thanks". Good vibes are good vibes. Compliments shouldn't be backhanded. If you do sincerely have good intentions, Peace and Love.
