The man who always explain the history of the song before he plays it for the audience ,something that some DJs doesn’t do and this is exactly what makes people to respect this man
We are still here, those of us who knew Rodigan before he got the radio show. We know how heavily his demo tape and subsequent early style "borrowed" heavily from the "Mikey Dread "Dread at the Control" radio show in Jamaica. He used to sell records in the little record shop in the Peckham Rye station. It's cool!! If it wasn't cool then our fathers, uncles, older brothers would not have invited Mr. Rodigan into our community. But, we are going to take issue with anyone "crowning" David Rodigan, "The greatest dj/selector . . ." It would have highlighted the 'heavy lifting" the Windrush Generation did to help establish sound system culture outside of Jamaica, by simply saying, "Lloyd Coxsone took me to my first sound clash . . . !!" If you remember the significance of the "Ray Symbolic" tour, and especially if you were at any of the dances, you'll understand where I'm coming from.
Rodigan is the king of soundclash. He has paid his dues by collecting and playing Reggae records for fifty years, a great bloke and entertainer. Much respected by all lovers of Reggae music. THANK YOU MR. RODIGAN.
Yes you are correct, Shaka, coxsone,Fatman, Saxon, java and even earlier soundmen such as Duke Vin need recognition too. Respect to Rodders as he has interviewed legends like king Tubby, d brown, Shaka etc but let's not forget the pioneers .
Give me some signal for David Rodigan I picked up the disease reggae fever back in the 70s listening to this man he's the one that turned me on to reggae music nuff respect David RAM jam Rodigan
Let's get something straight here back in the early days of reggae there was a time when the Americans didn't want this music and Jamaica was five years behind us when it come to reggae music therefore the British had a lot to do with reggae moving forward.
This is just a clip from Andrew Neil's interview with David Rodigan. What about Rodigan talking about his new book? The interview was about 15 minutes or more. Post the full interview.
The only thing that I don’t like about this representation of the music I was born to, is that there is no way a black man with the same knowledge of this music would get on the Andrew Neil show. That really bothers me and there is no disrespect intended towards Rodigan because he has championed reggae for decades, but make no mistake his race, culture and background has had a profound impact upon how he has been promoted. That is not his fault of course. Respect Ram Jam!
I grew up in the UK listening to sound systems. Whilst most other teenagers went to the pub/disco, I was planning to listen to a sound system or to go to a Blues dance somewhere. Back in my day practically all of the public listening to sounds were like me, black and invariably also like me from a Jamaican/Caribbean background. What Rodigan says is true, there are now Reggae sound systems all over Europe. I now live in the Netherlands and listen to King Shiloh and others, Still, I find it naff hearing some guy who never grew with a Jamaican background trying to speak literally my mother labgyage, Jamaican patois ......Apart from one Dutch guy I know, they all sound really bad and pretentious.
the man is fake, coxon outernational, deserves more recognition, they are the ones who pushed reggae for the masses , reggae was made popular by sound systems, such as duke vin, duke reid, etc so no way can this man call himself the godfather of reggae in the uk, , i probably know more than him ,
How are you doing today mybrother Ras John these days my brother, Gaia Rastafari christus love pure positive energy and clean and simple Gaia Rastafari love
He's not the king of reggae! Anybody weh seh dat is a FOOL! Is the same how they call Elvis the father of Rock and Roll. If you dont see any issue with both these things, then you are lost and part of the problem.
then u not knw about the history of reggae or how JA and reggae artists around the world revere roddy. there is a huge difference between elvis stealing soul music and a dj selectah who has championed and promoted reggae music worldwide for 60 years.

For sure, how can I help? What do you need to know?
Lol
Barry Quinnell radigan good but squingy is the king and will always be the king even in death ... R.I.P Squingy.
again, when did Rodigan say he is the king of soundclash?
this issue is FUCKING BOLLOCKS
Barry Quinnell eeeediat
Utmost respect for you Roddy. Always pays homage to the culture & embraces Rasta reggae music.
Dem people have no idea what a legend Roddi is
Is he?? Bigger sound man than him. Legend on radio perhaps.
Ren Dyal .... True that .....
Nonsense
Just thinking that!
I love Rodigan, but where is the recognition for the genuine sound men? Coxsone,Shaka,Fatman etc
Yes you are correct, Shaka, coxsone,Fatman, Saxon, java and even earlier soundmen such as Duke Vin need recognition too. Respect to Rodders as he has interviewed legends like king Tubby, d brown, Shaka etc but let's not forget the pioneers .
He talks about them ad nauseam in his bbc documentary
@@rickysingh8124 Rodigan interviewed King Tubbies which part dat?
@@Higher_Sun_Highzak When the "tribute to King Tubbys " LP was released Rodigan visited Tubbys around 1987 or 88.
@@rickysingh8124 where Can one locate audio or print of this interview then?

The ones who are laughing are invested in people keeping apart in life in general
One of the most nicest well spoken English I have ever heard and I’m English.
Nobody can test Rodigan's dubplates. Respect.
Also fuck Andrew Neil and Michael Portillo, wasteman.
Portillio looks bewildered....
😆
Thanks for explaining it the way it should be understood...RODIGAN!!!!!
Missed this on TV...reggae historian right here
Very very very interesting originating in jahmekyah (Jamaica)
Let's get something straight here back in the early days of reggae there was a time when the Americans didn't want this music and Jamaica was five years behind us when it come to reggae music therefore the British had a lot to do with reggae moving forward.
Very eloquent man, could match any there for his intellect.
Rodigan is an absolute Legend, I don't imagine Portillo understanding real culture somehow.

Rodigan, in some way my favorite reggae artist
Ram Jam probably has a shed full of dubs from the 80's by all the greats that have never even seen the light of day yet.
Their inside man gets an MBE for his troubles ..kmft
Big up Roddi. Don't know what man are saying in the comments.
Come in like colonialists discussing an African tribe and how they run tings. kmt
Real talk higher

HaZe375 he never said he was king someone else did
You are so ignorant. He has done more for Reggae than you have done for your Mum.
He has taken reggae around the world
Who said he was? They said King of the soundclash- there is a difference.
