Not just seen the man live, several times, but actually met him too.

Fair play for making 85 considering some of his 'lifestyle choices'.

 

Not just the choices, the amount of Jamaicans killed in random violence is shocking with many reggae big names dying young.

So I was trying to think of where it was that I met him, and I've narrowed it down to the early 2000s which means Aberdeen which in turn meant the Lemon Tree.

I went checking for the date, and found this...

My fav reggae album and probably in my top 5 overall.

It doesn't get any better. I've got the re-release with the extra tracks.

It's not just some of the best dub reggae ever.. it's some of the best music ever...

Reggae in its original form is one thing, but Sleng Teng by Wayne Smith broke the mould IMO. It sounds like absolute filth that led to modern sound. Whether it’s my fav reggae album ever I’m not sure, but it can’t be discounted.

I remember the first time I heard this on Channel 4, in the late 90s back when the Mobo awards were good. Puff daddy was over getting some honorary award and clearly thought he was the biggest star there. Puff had done his bit and got award and got a decent reception but then Beenie Man came on later and played this and the place just erupted

I’m near certain that’s the year Mr Vegas won one of the big awards and I heard Heads High the first time. As a young lad I was blown away.
