People don’t realize that this Rasta dj was the A class dj of the early 80s sound system wise ….on Jah love sound system greatness me a tell u every weh Briggy deh gateman bag full!
i saw briggy do this with ranking joe and shinehead!! inna Los Angeles, everytime i hear the 'general' rhythm i think of that night!! brigga a de general!
Also remember, The lyrics that these DJs talk are not written down, its just made up as the music played and they rhymed. The determination of how good a DJ is how well they 'ride' the rhythm (rapped in sync with the music), how long they could talked and told the story. As Briggy said in the clip the General deh yah so dem play the general rhythm (1:51). The method was for the selector to play a little of the side A, the music with the singer, then part 2 or the version was then played
The General Riddim was actually recorded @ Channel One Studio in 1977. It had a revival in 1984 when Channel One released a riddim album "General for all General" featuring new vocals from artists such as Little John and Barrington Levy, as well as the original 1977 vocals from the Mighty Diamonds. It was later sampled in 1991 by Donovan Germaine for Penthouse with artists like Buju Banton and Garnett Silk on it.
Sonnicheeba, Those amps were hand built down to the transformers, most of which were handwound. If you know about those they were huge because of the transformers, usually 2. Thats why they all went to the small Peavey amps, they were more protable. I miss those old tube amps.
@MachoKokoa I think the derailing was deliberate...as in american hiphop...dancehall was powerful back then...culturally and intellectually...who can say that now
Sonnicheeba. You don't understand. the tech that built those amps was probably not a US college grad. Neve or Manley would not even consider that guy to work for them, maybe a janitor is the only job thay would give him. They would not have a Jamaican engineer in their workforce, you know why! eg. look at Tubbys, he built soem of the sweetest amps in Jamaica, but he never got any mention in the same sentence as Manley or Neve or even Peavey. But I must agree, those were some sweet sounding amps!
@artbymungo Ites just found it on me files dat i will post on my youtube page its the single One Dance story on presure and slide riddim bless and tanks dubweedroots
I know this is a ridiculous question and no one should have to ask, but I ask in all seriousness and I mean no offense; am I likely to run into trouble as a white man at a Briggy gig? Would love to take a trip to France to catch him in August.
Really dunno wat dese nowadaze DJ's are doing. Guess itz a different mindset. I doubt they could do it like dis LIVE n DIRECT in front of hundreds in tha authentic dancehall or evn thousands @ stage shows. Tings n Times change ah guess. I prefa dese daze though
