I love reggae, not sure how it differs from hip-hop.

Wow, keep getting shut down. Reggae's way different than hip hop Boom Boom. Reggae's forgiving, hip hop, not so much.

Here's a better intro:

Catchfire, I don't get the OP? It's a good intro but I'm not sure where you want to go? And I keep getting logged out and stuff. I'd actually like to carry on this conversation. I guess I should start.

I'm yet to be refuted by the anti-hip-hoppers? Point to any lies we tell? Where you coming from?

Sorry if I'm defensive, folks are always after our ass.

I just love early reggae, from about the 1960s with Toots and the Maytals up to just past the Peter Tosh era, with Bob Marley and Johnny Nash in between. My favourite album cover, by the way, is Peter Tosh's Legalize it.

Yes, Boom Boom, Peter Tosh did represent some hip-hop influence. I had to go back, although I've listened to him many times before. I'm not sure if you can view it but here you go:

Interesting conversation. Worth a listen. Hip hop dudes debating where we need to go. The preacher don't know. BET says "We can't play this"

Think about it...if you watched it...

i actually think reggae had a huge influence on hip hop...think of the dub records from the mid 70's, it was essentially the first version of sampling and taking breaks and bass lines and making a new song. Dj culture and the "block party" was also a jamaican invention with the "sound systems" (dudes with mobile PA's they would build to have parties) of the era, replete with intense and sometimes violent confrontations between sound systems....

And compare the political views of people like afrika bambaataa with the views of the rastafarian culture. Different religion, similar principles and both based around black power and liberation.

if you love reggae you have to see this movie:

and it's pretty cool, all the actors are the best reggae musicians at the time like sly a robbie, horesemouth, inner circle, joe gibbs, dirty harry etc and the best ...it's like a snapshot of 70's jamaica music culture.
