    That part of London is a very mixed bag - some very nice areas some very tough areas, especially in the 70s though the 90s. Dominick was able to get by in Kingston because of his time in Ladbroke Grove.

    Had to rewatch. RAS, id love to hear a story about Lady Saw. Idk her life but she had always been with us, growing into men (InI teenager years). 'You are mi real prince Charmin. Like da heat to da fiyah you are always burnin! .' Id love to hear about sistah, especially as we're talking about 90's.
    Kizzie kept the Roots of Kunta Kinte alive. Ras Kizaro you are some saint holy to HIM thats keeps much needed history. I know where i stand, on the left to HIM, standing as He sits upon His throne (full glory HIM!) , a tier down from HIM. You must be part of the entourage close to HIM. HIM is real, His soul as undefeatable LOVE. (dreams, after much fasting alone with mother earth reveals these things)
    Ok, i should continue on watching Bob receive the UN peace medal, just love to put down in in words what i have seen and known. Bless upon all that remember HIM, jah Ras Tafari! 🙏 . Walk with His light and darkness is dispelled. Only love remain❤️💛💚

    Who could ever forget Snow's sound blasting killer tune Informer....A MONSTER track.. He was to Dancehall what Eminem was to Rap...

      @@lenardbarzey2788 Well actually I wasn't comparing them Skill-wise, rather as successful White acts in music genres which are essentially Black (A novelty back then) Of course, they're not on the same level. Snow's career was rather short-lived. You've got to be dumb to place them on the same platform.
