I respect this comment 🤜🏾🤛🏾 I naturally grew up on these things as a Jamaican and love them.....but I really love (90's) style hip hop too, NOT mumble rap, so I get loving other cultures and how they do it. A well made hip hop beat hits different. Same for dance hall/ Reggae
We're one people in different parts of the world expressing ourselves in our respective environments. Jamaican toasters and American rappers are musical cousins.
@@pkd6327A“toaster” is the old name you’d call an MC in Jamaica. MC’s in Jamaica are actually called DJ’s. If I said Dj instead of toaster or MC you’d be more confused. Sean Paul, Shabba and Shaggy are toasters or DJ’s as we say in JA.
Not killing sons...this is a dubplate for sound system clashes so he said killing sounds. Capleton is one of our greatest musical veterans. A true treasure👏🏽🇯🇲
When you have a sound clash between sound systems it's a competition as to which sound system plays the better hits, the better dubplates( like Capleton is doing in this vid) and who's sound is better. The victorious sound system kills the losing sound system(figuratively😅) A dub plate special involves promotion and praise for the sound system that contracts the artist to do it. In this vid Capleton is saying that the sound system, Little Lion Sound has been killing many other sounds for a long time and will kill(defeat)many more. Kill a soun bwai 🔥 🔥😅😅
Hummm! You made two separate points. Nigerians may have Jamaicans tied in the "out spoken" dept. Nigerians are also everywhere. Can you believe that there were Jamaicans who were members of the Branch Davidian group? I even met a Rastaman in Iceland, of all places. Certainly music and cultural influence is unmatched. In fact, the Jamaican accent is likely the most imitated. I have never seen another group that leave their own country and take up roots in that country and then influence the people of that country to adopt the Jamaican diction. No other people's have pull that off. Take Brixton, London. Jamaican diction is quite dominant there.
@@nsudatta-roy8154 Brixton is Caribbean not just Jamaican most Americans can't differentiate the accents from each island and they all associate with each other and Africans especially in the U.K.
Lol I was dying after he try to interpret that line. He can’t understand the lyrics but the beat alone you can tell he feels it and that’s what music is it’s communication
Dude Im turkish grew up in hackney in east london in the 90s, we grew up with jamaicans and obviously reggae, if you know you know, people dont understand, the jamaicans were a force to be reckoned with.
@@MehmetlerMehmediwe still are. We're not playing around. Just that others are enjoying better marketing right now, but the greats of western foreign countries still take inspiration from us because "Di fyah cyaah cool!!!"
Capleton is not only a Dancehall Reggae legend but he's one who mastered exactly what you speak of, CADENCE and the riding of the rhythm. That's what makes these Dancehall/Reggae so special. Their animation and fluctuation of elements of their voice. It really is fascinating.
Listening to King Shango Capleton aka Fyah Man since 1989 on African Star Sound System and have seen his live performance many times full of energy. 🇪🇹🇯🇲🇬🇾🇹🇹
Capleton is an old school Soundsystem DJ, this is how we used to do it back in the days. We sit on the riddim like a lizard on a limb, timing is everything when you are riding rocky rub a dub riddims you have to be like a jockey on a horse. This young generation cannot even ride a rub a dub riddims.
First Queen Omega then Capleton! Reggae never gets reacted to and its my preferred genre since longtime. Capleton is a veteran reggae warrior..more reggae, more 🔥. There's no other music comes close in my opinion ❤️💛💚. Reggae = Music for mind, body and soul. Great reaction. 'Killin these sounds for the longest while'
Not really. It's the other way around. Speaking commercially. Speaking spiritually artistically and organically. Music arts science and other disciplines that make humanity humanity is infused into the DNA of melanin powered by the sun. Eventually other people label it dissect divide it and package it and extract it and clone it. ua-cam.com/video/3YTDLHdfFSQ/v-deo.htmlsi=rTXQKbK2YBhdUBPV
Nuff respect to Capelton one of the best to every do it. Hah!! Young boy finally realizing what real energy is like. Old school dancehall/reggae and hip hop was real warrior music built on the foundations of real knowledge. When you know the truth, you can't mumble that..A sayer must say!!
Bro if you gonna react to reggae/dancehall artists, get someone from the Caribbean to explain what they're saying to you. It's important to understand what you are reacting to.
The legend. when you know you know. He spits messages of real life he's inspirational and I've grown up listening to him capleton music is loved and respected by all races.
Your comments are so on point. It's so good to still have culture and continue on throughout the struggle. I appreciate your words. Thank you for sharing the positive rhetoric. You rock!
They're rapping voice is more like a musical instrument other than someone just wrapping or singing and that brother is in perfect synchronization with music
It's actually called deejaying, and has been around in Jamaican recorded music since the 1960s. My understanding is that it all started with the master of ceremony (mc) talking to his audience in introducing the music he was about to play, then transitioned to eventually become a combination with a singer or group, and then a recording by itself. The mc became known as a disc jockey (dj), hence the term deejay. The equivalent in America is the rapper.
I'm an island boy..... Capleton is a genius, which lead him to being legendary. His vocal understanding and ability is another level bro. No effects nothing. just his actual instrument, his vocal. cha!!
Capleton; the fire God. He is one of the greatest ever sir. Glad you getting educated about him👏🏾👏🏾. I have to see him in a full concert before he is gone. My artiste dat🙌🏾🙌🏾🫶🏾
"Killing Sound" means to defeat or to put away or destroy or end another music system, hence to kill a musical sound of another competing entertaining musical instrumental system known as sound. What you actually listening to, is a sound system. Similar to free style rap battles or scratch battles. Musical systems compete against each other (in particular Kingston, Jamaica where it was originated) using Dee Jays to chant lyrics against other rivals...like what you are actually observing here by Capleton.
I interviewed him 30yrs ago the highlight if my deejay career ..wouldn't believe he would be so big now ..bless up and enjoy the fireman ..listen slowly and you will hear what hes saying remember its English
This is a one off recording for a specific sound system that they will use to clash against other sound systems. Lets say Michael Jackson has his hit record out called "Rock with you" and you pay him to do a special where he sings "I wanna rock to Kso" instead, now when you want to show off your sound system you have exclusives to drop. The topics used here are fairly standard after all these years, kill a sound, murder a sound boy, etc etc.
Capleton him and Bounty Killer have been my favorite Dancehall artist of all time . By listen to Capletons songs over hip hop beats back in the late 90s and early 2000. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Every time a DJ from a different culture highlight one our own, every reggae/dancehall loving Jamaican should feel that sense of pride iyah. Capleton is Legendary! Hands down, no ifs, buts or suppose about it! Legendary mi seh!🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
big 🆙 this guy is a legend in reggae music for along time and am surprised u never heard of him, he delivers a good message in his music and it is about righteousness and livity and also of uplifting black ppl around the globe 🌏 react to capleton that day will come (video)
It's over 20 years now since I was last in the states and I remember finding it a bit odd upon my cousins hearing some of my CD music that they'd never heard nearly all of it, and in being so close to the West Indies that the majority of of the black community as such were quite if not ignorant then seemingly disinterested in reggae, soca, calypso, roots, dub plate, dancehall, ska, blue beat etc which to us black British is a staple of our heritage and identity that we integrated into the wider British population and musical influences, with the point made about Drake a case in point given the Canadian/British connection.
Very true! American blacks aint feeling dancehall like that even though Hip Hop was was born in Jamaica first. My mother was dancing to artist talking over records back in the 60s. Jamaica aint getting its props for creating this art form at all.
@@BlueAlien1313 you're 100% right that the origins of what would ultimately become hip hop and rap were born from the Jamaican style of DJing called toasting or MCing (master of ceremonies). Over here with the funk and soul being a lesser vehicle for British expression of original takes on music back in the early to mid 80's, the likes of Smiley Culture and Tippa Irie were the British reggae equivalent of a Biggie and Tupac 🇰🇳
@@theomatthew5286 I knew it was huge in Britain and I also knew that the Brits gave credit to Jamaica for this art form. For reason reason the Americans will not.
Jamaicans talking alone sounds like they're sing. Capelton has that fire ,he is ah BOSS in dancehall. Dancehall was the best in the 90s. Everyone had their own flow. Now. Everyone sounds alike now. U can't tell them apart now. Big one like Capelton , super cat , Bounty, Beenie , Frisco kid and soo many others
Mad respect to you KSO!! You know music runs through your veins when you can genuinely vibe to the sound, melody, and delivery of a human spitting in a language you don't understand. When I grow up I want to be just like you😎
There are no boundaries in making music in Jamaica. And yes they're natural with it. The UK owes so much to Jamaica, even alot of rock artists have been influenced. Everyone
NUFF THANX for featuring Capleton 🇯🇲 aka di FYAH(Fire) MAN🔥🔥🇯🇲! His is one of 🇯🇲 best for a while. Apparently he was doing a dubplate for a sound system in dis clip. He has been EXCELLENT for decades‼️ 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲. Mi Likkle island bad like yazz!
Hehehe very funny being a rapper and not knowing about reggae and Capleton!!! This man is legend. This is a dubplate for Little Lion Sound,very old vibes. This man was able to sing like that while flying 6 ft abobe the stage for the hole show,never saw someone doing something close in a performance. One of the best artist you can watch live IMO,pure fire on the stage. Sizzla & Capleton where bosses off reggae music for a while,pumping an insane amount of albums and hits. Some of those reggae artist are top noch performers / showman . The energy of the shows is amazing.
Thing is the West Indies guys do the mad vocals without auto tune or electronically distorted shiz! Drake can’t do what these fellas do vocally! It’s like a natural synthesizer!
This is Capleton aka the prophet aka King Shango aka King of fire or simply the fire man. This energy has been consistent for 30+ years. We used to listen anxiously waiting for him or Buju Banton or Mad Cobra or Bounty Killa to drop the next mega hit.🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
He is singing about a DJ group called Little Lion Sound. In Jamaica, we have different DJ groups that are called sounds and they compete with each other to see who is the best sound by selecting songs with certain lyrics that will outdo the other sound or they will request an artist to customize a song using their sound name in this case the Capleton the artist is representing the sound called little lion sound. When an artist is requested to write lyrics or a song for a sound the process is called a dubplate and yes the artists gets paid
You mentioning sounds, cool fact: they even have sound machines in Latin America, called "Sonidos" - sounds .. I'm not sure if they play against each other, but they do the same thing - live play. I heard one in Mexico. It was cool to see the musical connections
If u think he's animated in the booth, you need to look up one of his live performances. As old as he is he still jumping around on stage for his entire performances like he 20! Respect to the LEGEND Capleton!
Real cool of you giving credit! This is a Dub plate pal! used for sound systems clashes, each sound system records their best Dub for that time....The Sound Clash!! People Dead!! ....no one dies its fun sound just gets out played 😂.. Little Lion Sound wants to kill the other sounds with their arsenal of Dub plates...(Capleton the Fireman ) & Queen Omega !
Yo nuff respect to you for even reviewing ah artist like Capleton🇯🇲 Fully. The fact you said I don’t understand it😂😂,salute tho🫡 and I just came across you btw cause I seen my artist on a dubplate review 🤔😂😂
They don't call him The Prophet and King Shango for no reason.. Listen to more of his music.. He has been an inspiration for me for the past 30 years.. Read his lyrics..
Love this. And remember, African American music has had a deep deep influence on dancehall, reggae, ska, etc. We're one big Black family constantly sharing and inspiring each other. Also, when you put the captions on at 1:49, he was criticising man who perform oral on women. He's been outspoken on that for like 30 years!!
Capleton was on Def Jam. Had an international hit him produced by Lil Jon (Tour) . He has features with Q Tip and Method man. During the 1990s in New York, it wasnt uncommon to catch a concert that featured Capleton alongside Hip Hop acts. If you ever wondered where Busta Rhymes got his stage presence from, check out Capleton live.
If you like this dubplate i highly recommend the spng he got this riddim from. The song is called "Rock Stone" by Steven Marley(yes, Bobs son). Capleton does the 1st verse and its 🔥. Sizzla Kalonji, another Legend in the reggae/dancehall scene, does the 2nd verse and Steven Ragga Marley finished with the 3rd verse
Just to add that a lot of riddims are sampled from earlier recordings, and can be traced back to Rocksteady and Reggae songs recorded in the 1960s and 1970s. So the riddim in this video, as well as for Stephen Marley's song you referred to, can be traced back to "None Shall Escape The Judgement" recorded by Johnny Clarke in 1973.
Jamaican Patois (Patwah) is a language that is very artistic in itself to begin with. Then mixed with the artist art..... Breaking all barriers. He is a legend ..... BUT! better know... not the only BOBO.
Brother, the way you broke this down was a thing of beauty. For how tough it is, you truly mad me proud to be a child of the diaspora. Thank you King.🙏🏾👑
Capleton has reggae hits after hits since the early 90s, one of the Most respected artist in Jamaican music. Dancehall have a culture of Sound Clash, in which DJs called selectors of Huge Sound Systems compete. Selectors often get Specials or Dub Plate from popular artists to use in defeating their Sound Clash opponents. This culture has spread over the years from Jamaica to Germany, Japan, US & as you may know Little Lion Sounds is out of Switzerland. The lyrics are often describing the defeat, as Capleton sing here “killing these sounds for the longest time.”
He said "tell them we a go kill a sound little lions so tough, kill every sound little lion so rough, yeah yeah yeah, killing these sounds for the longest while we career they want to soil."
‘Nuff a dem waan fi soil’. I was confused a bit by the ‘never you pop off on another man’s coil’ bit though - I suppose that means ‘don’t steal other artists’ beats and rap over them as if they’re you’re own without acknowledging the original singer/songwriter and getting permission first’?
Capleton, one of the greatest You should also check Sizzla, Buju Banton, Anthony B and so many more reggae dancehall artists delivering inspirational lyrics The underground sounds are even better than the commercial ones
Caletom is a GOAT from the 80's or early 90's ! He always stood for truth and reality ! He was a conscious dj, but he could also run w the best hardcore dj's

Drake just started being around Jamaicans...now he's gone to Afrobeats artists
@JahleeyahKalonji one if Drake's Sound Engineers is a pure Yardmon....

This is Capleton aka the prophet aka King Shango aka King of fire or simply the fire man. This energy has been consistent for 30+ years. We used to listen anxiously waiting for him or Buju Banton or Mad Cobra or Bounty Killa to drop the next mega hit.🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
He is singing about a DJ group called Little Lion Sound. In Jamaica, we have different DJ groups that are called sounds and they compete with each other to see who is the best sound by selecting songs with certain lyrics that will outdo the other sound or they will request an artist to customize a song using their sound name in this case the Capleton the artist is representing the sound called little lion sound. When an artist is requested to write lyrics or a song for a sound the process is called a dubplate and yes the artists gets paid
You mentioning sounds, cool fact: they even have sound machines in Latin America, called "Sonidos" - sounds .. I'm not sure if they play against each other, but they do the same thing - live play. I heard one in Mexico. It was cool to see the musical connections
If u think he's animated in the booth, you need to look up one of his live performances. As old as he is he still jumping around on stage for his entire performances like he 20! Respect to the LEGEND Capleton!
Real cool of you giving credit! This is a Dub plate pal! used for sound systems clashes, each sound system records their best Dub for that time....The Sound Clash!! People Dead!! ....no one dies its fun sound just gets out played 😂.. Little Lion Sound wants to kill the other sounds with their arsenal of Dub plates...(Capleton the Fireman ) & Queen Omega !
LMAO! I love your reactions…meanwhile, for those of us who live in the islands and basically grew up on this music…it’s just another day!
Yo nuff respect to you for even reviewing ah artist like Capleton🇯🇲 Fully. The fact you said I don’t understand it😂😂,salute tho🫡 and I just came across you btw cause I seen my artist on a dubplate review 🤔😂😂
Either way i’m really loving this reaction video.
They don't call him The Prophet and King Shango for no reason.. Listen to more of his music.. He has been an inspiration for me for the past 30 years..
Read his lyrics..
When this man talks the Entire Caribbean Listens......he's a big deal.....his flow is unmatched ...
That's my blood cousin from St Mary. Real legend
Capleton concert is an experience you'll never forget, once experienced. You would love cooyah cooyah by Capleton. Trust me great song.
Capleton Who Dem/Slew Dem is 🔥...other artist worth checking out Sizzla....Buju Banton....Bounty Killer
Them lyrics would end up getting the man banned from UA-cam! LOL!
This white girl loves Sizzla here.. love n respect from 🇨🇦
Sound culture is still alive and reaching the mass....respect capleton from Wadadli/Antigua 🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬
Fiya!!!
Maximum Raspect to Capleton all the way from Africa/ IETHIOPIA !!!
Bless up LION OF AfRICA 🌍WIDE🎉
One of my favorite legends ❤🇱🇨 love his music.
Even my eye balls get goosebumps hearing Capleton !
Love this. And remember, African American music has had a deep deep influence on dancehall, reggae, ska, etc. We're one big Black family constantly sharing and inspiring each other. Also, when you put the captions on at 1:49, he was criticising man who perform oral on women. He's been outspoken on that for like 30 years!!
Love General Levi's expressive sounds too 💯
🤣🤣🤣@ 6:25 - 6:35 Nah!!! "Killing these sound for the longest while. Never yet try pop-off another sound kyle."
Capleton was on Def Jam. Had an international hit him produced by Lil Jon (Tour) . He has features with Q Tip and Method man. During the 1990s in New York, it wasnt uncommon to catch a concert that featured Capleton alongside Hip Hop acts. If you ever wondered where Busta Rhymes got his stage presence from, check out Capleton live.
Capleton came up in New York when rap MCs would unit and spit bars!!! To much history that man has
If you like this dubplate i highly recommend the spng he got this riddim from. The song is called "Rock Stone" by Steven Marley(yes, Bobs son). Capleton does the 1st verse and its 🔥. Sizzla Kalonji, another Legend in the reggae/dancehall scene, does the 2nd verse and Steven Ragga Marley finished with the 3rd verse
Rock stone that's my pillar
Just to add that a lot of riddims are sampled from earlier recordings, and can be traced back to Rocksteady and Reggae songs recorded in the 1960s and 1970s. So the riddim in this video, as well as for Stephen Marley's song you referred to, can be traced back to "None Shall Escape The Judgement" recorded by Johnny Clarke in 1973.
I was actually going to recommend Rock Stone. Love that song.
@@happyhapley i appreciate the correction
@@jeffreykinneman4637 No problem sir. It wasn't only for you - just for the sake of history to anyone reading.
Fyaahhhhh Mannn 🔥 🔥🔥
Jamaican Patois (Patwah) is a language that is very artistic in itself to begin with. Then mixed with the artist art..... Breaking all barriers. He is a legend ..... BUT! better know... not the only BOBO.
Brother, the way you broke this down was a thing of beauty. For how tough it is, you truly mad me proud to be a child of the diaspora. Thank you King.🙏🏾👑
Capleton has reggae hits after hits since the early 90s, one of the Most respected artist in Jamaican music.
Dancehall have a culture of Sound Clash, in which DJs called selectors of Huge Sound Systems compete.
Selectors often get Specials or Dub Plate from popular artists to use in defeating their Sound Clash opponents.
This culture has spread over the years from Jamaica to Germany, Japan, US & as you may know Little Lion Sounds is out of Switzerland.
The lyrics are often describing the defeat, as Capleton sing here “killing these sounds for the longest time.”
Capleton, wake up man , he sing from a long time .
You definitely interpreted dat bar wrong 😂Capleton is one of the greatest to ever bless the dancehall and still blazing the fire 🔥 🔥🔥🔥
😂😂😂 he said kill their sons I’m weak
😂😂😂😂
I saw Capleton live at Toad's Place in New Haven, CT! I was LIVE AF! I felt sorry that Buju had to go on after him. I was sad. 😢
Man said "Kill your son" 🤣 and went on with an explanation 😂
"More Fyaaah! Blaze It Up!"
Helloooo thats mutha Fukken Capleton!!!! Pure Legend✊🏾✊🏾💯💯
He said "tell them we a go kill a sound little lions so tough, kill every sound little lion so rough, yeah yeah yeah, killing these sounds for the longest while we career they want to soil."
‘Nuff a dem waan fi soil’. I was confused a bit by the ‘never you pop off on another man’s coil’ bit though - I suppose that means ‘don’t steal other artists’ beats and rap over them as if they’re you’re own without acknowledging the original singer/songwriter and getting permission first’?
Capleton, one of the greatest
You should also check Sizzla, Buju Banton, Anthony B and so many more reggae dancehall artists delivering inspirational lyrics
The underground sounds are even better than the commercial ones
That is Capleton !! King Shango!
Killing these sounds for the longest while 🎶
Capleton did a song "who you calling niqqa".
Stay in your pocket like the artist
fyah man living legend. brought so much value to my life thru his music. hope to thank him in person one day.
I love how youtube just has music, cant understand, can not compute.
You need to see him live jumping about on stage! 😅🕺🏾
That’s the fire 🔥 man , Shango the prophet, aka capleton one of the hardest dancehall legends with millions of hit music.
Caletom is a GOAT from the 80's or early 90's ! He always stood for truth and reality ! He was a conscious dj, but he could also run w the best hardcore dj's
Those shades are dope
