Yo straight up when I was 15-16 I grew up in a little desert town in Arizona and I wanted to be just like Shabba D the man was my favorite MC. I was 1 or 5 kids who listened to drum and bass within 200 miles haha. Used to have all the tape packs back then of the UK massives. What a time to be alive. I’m 40 now and love seeing this documentary. Glad to see shabba still killin it a true legend
I’ve been to hundreds of raves, events, festivals etc over the years, and shabba is the only mc I’ve met numerous times, who’s actually sat down and had a conversation with me every time, not cos he felt he had to, but cos he wanted to, an absolute legend and a gentleman
The happiness I had in my 20's and 30's honestly I can't put into words Shabba Skibba Det Brockie Nicky Mambi Grooverider Andy C!! The list is endless I had the BEST TIME Bagleys, Rex, Jungle Fever, Raindance Moondance Powerhouse ,Shabba all of dem me LOVE u guys for that forever!!
1st seen shabba at telepathy b4 he blew up...90's was the BEST times for everything!! We were soo lucky & never knew it!! Tape pack days classical, the ammount of rewinds i did on certain mixes or mc'ing back in da days 😂😂 😎👊🏾💙
Yo bro thanks for the Docu, I’m an OG JUNGLIST from Los Angeles first got wind of jungle music 1992/93 from OG Legendary LA Dj’s RAW & CRS? Who then introduced us to ya’ll in the UK Brockie, Nicky, Andy C, Mampi, Hype, Bailey, MC’s Stevie Hyper, Skiba, Det, You Shabba, GQ, the list goes on…. I still listen OG Jungle & DnB on the regular. Big ups to you & all the OG JUNGLIST worldwide who brought the music to the scene. Gracias 😎 HomeyRob
One nation with Stevie Hyper D and shabba my no 1 with No 1 Andy C ..the cutslow drop is the best ever i still listen to even after 20 years in my car ..all of Shabba work from 96 to 99 awesome👊
Big respect to Shabba for all he’s done and achieved in the scene. A true icon and an absolute true and humble person. Big up Shabba!! Blessings always!!
Nice documentary. Good visuals an in-depth interview with the one an only. MR SHABBA D... Big up yourself for the upload too. Got my headphones on, couple rolled, enjoying the vybz..💨💨💨👊🏿💯👏🏾
Yeah big up Shabba for keeping it 💯, real talk back in the early days none of us djs or mcs were getting paid, you had to be real tight with the promoters to get any paper, we were just happy to get our names on the flyers.. & pirate radio was definitely the eyes & ears, the social media of the scene.. the Information centre🔥🔥🔥
@@negroantonio28 Exactly and DJs and MCs had to pay subs, pay to cut dubs and buy records. It was more out of love and not a money thing as you know. MCs would make next to nothing on nights but the likes of Shabba and Skibadee (RIP) changed that and also introduced the hourly rate as MCs were made to work all night for as little 30 to 50 quid. Respect to the real ones, to grafters and the unsung heroes of the scene.
@@TakeMeBackPirateRadioaha..lol yeah I remember paying the radio station subs, chasing DATs, paying to cut those dubs at music house, Holloway carrying around those record bags & heavy flight cases, hunting down those promos & limited test presses at the record shops, phoning up records labels to get on mailing lists, rarely getting paid for sets but just greatful for the opportunity to play out..wow.. the grind we put into that scene we defo spent more than we made, but yeah it was for the love of it, very competitive but alot of fun to with it
Bout time this legend gets a documentary about himself, cement his legacy properly. One of the only old skool mc's that has talent left imo, always a favourite of mine ❤️
Big Respect Shabba! Really surprised that Demon boyz or London Posse didn't influence him! I loved my Coxsanne, Saxson, Stone love etc when I was a yout in early 90s! 💯
Shabba was my Number 1 during my younger days of Raving. Even over Hyper D and Skiba. Shabba connected with me much more. I even followed him around a club here in Toronto when I was all twisted on the gear lol. The Spittin Demon!! Legend 🙏
Off top big upz shabba dizzle one of many 🇬🇧 mc's that inspired this st8side mc..and special big upz to the homie in 🍊 during the freestyle wuz feelin ya flow R.I.P SKIBBA n STORMIN
Cool insight to the man. A stalwart of the scene since near enough to the beginning. Love him or hate him Shabba D has been a big part of the scene. Great doco Thanks for sharing. Big Up Shabba old school Don. Definitely one of the best in the business.
I remember shabba D on Rush FM or as it was also known as Weekend Rush. 91 to 95 era...Shabba along side Steve Hyper D, MC Det, MC Navigator, 5.0, Skiberdee, MC MC really helped boost the Hardcore/jungle rave scene with the greats on the Decks, Nicky Black market, Mampi Swift, Brockie, DJ Ron, Five O, Ash Attack etc.
Remember a Young Shabba working at Paul Ibiza's Ibiza Records in Kingland High Road, Dalston, Hackney, East London... Good Times.. biggup Shabba D Original Hackney Yout.. dun know 🔥🔥🔥🔥

SAS still liveS on Shabba and will never leave the dnb scene !! As SKIBA would say concrete respect 💯💯
Braapp...I know shabbat from hackney downs youth club.. Foundation fam... Before man buss... 30+ years ago... One OG Called Peter dread used to run it.. Bare man came to the club... It was lit.. Shout out to everyone who went.. Ratty, Paul M, bouncer, chaplin, David, Blairy, juniorD just to name a few.. Brapp big up Shabba D. Happy New year fam 🎉🎊 The Cypher at the end was maaaaadd... 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
Hands down best Jungle MC for me - ‘96 to ‘98 Shabba would terrorize a set 🔥🔥🔥. Used to smash it on Kool with Skibba and Shockin (SASAS) and would always be a wicked set with him and Funky Flirt. True legend and still going - nuff respect to him. Met him a few times around the late 90’s in my raving days and he was always cool, even in the Sainsbury’s in Stratford when he was pushing a trolly around food shopping lol.
A real big Pioneer King ina di bizz , the hole Jungle dnb culture will Not be what IT IS today with people Like him big Up and respect , WE Had him a few weeks ago in Out Club and He mashed Up di Hole fkn Dance , never tired
Dnb scene nowadays is a caricature if what it was in mid late 90's. I won't say jungle cos there's no amen breaks at current raves. The music is shit the vibes are shit, it's all very gimmicky and commercial compared to what it used to be.
Fuck yeah Shabba fuckin D !! You bring fire 🔥 mate ! Your old Skool ! Right up to the the to present day ! Stay safe and just keep bringing the dark and heavy !! Need you to join the car Barzz 😎
So it was your fault I had to choose if I wanted to listen to new sets on a cd player or classics on a tape player when in me car. Miss the tapes, pure nostalgia. Even today I'm more likely to wack a tape on when listening to the jungle.
Skibadee and Shabba were like gods when i was growing up as a teen. We would trade tapes at school and formed a junglist crew of about 20. The very second we left school in 1998 we hit the Jungle / DnB clubs and skanked out hard for about 8 years straight until we were all finally burnt out. Those were the best years of my life! 😭
Never forget Shabba at Ministry of Sound back in May 2003 with Bad Company with the Breakin Science cru. 5am on a bank hoilday Monday morning and he completey smashed it, leaving the diehard still standing wanting more at the end of the rave.
Good old days , chewing disco biscuits brocking out of our faces till 6am everyone having a gd time jaws swinging passing bottles of water flashing our lighters and blowing our horns, remember going first innovation in sun loret de Mar Spain aswell , gd times
Raving to Shabba, Skibba, Mampi, Andy C, Dett, Eksman, Nicky B at the likes of Stratford Rex, Bagleys, Sanctuary back in the days. Proper 👊
I just found my tribe!!! We had FUNNNNN!!!!!
Light house . Eq statford
Pure science at atomics then onto the rex omg those days
I remember bare madness at the rex
The best era, best venues.
