Answering the Critics (4) (Webmaster Column)

Dubroom Online - Edition October 31, 2007


"ANSWERING THE CRITICS (4)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, October 31 2007 - One of the Dubroom's major critics is a guy who claims to have studied "the infiltrator method" at Biola University in California (USA).

He admits he "adopts" what he sees as Reggae and even Rastafari Culture, in order to "inject it" with a "message". That message, by the way, is to basically be a good Babylonian. He even admits, that he hated Reggae at first, but trained himself to like it.

His most important critique on the Dubroom? It's the fact that this website will not promote such infiltration methods, will not Konform to the Politikal Korrekt Order and work with Babylon to kill Reggae Music and Culture, even Rastafari Livity and Culture.

Give Thanks, One Love,
Messian Dread (Dubroom Webmaster)

JACKIE OPEL - PUSH WOOD STYLE
DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW



WWW, October 2007 - Originally hailing from Trinidad, Jackie Opel is best known for being one of the top singers during of Jamaican Ska in the 1960's. A tribute.

Listening to the historic recordings of Jackie Opel's voice as he rides over the Ska riddims will once again remind the listener just how special Jamaican Music is. Singers and Players of Instruments, each one carrying more skills and talents than your average world star together.

The injustice that comes with the world economical situation becomes painfully clear, when we realize how this music is recorded on material that even for the time wasn't the best of best. That stuff was reserved for the rich countries, and only now with digital possibilities there is somewhat of a more equal situation as computers can more or less replace a complete studio.

Almost 30 minutes of sweet, soulful, energetic music, with Jackie Opel singing lover's tunes as well as spirituals. For (y)our listening pleasure and meditation!

LKJ - Inglan Is A Bitch (Video Review)

LINTON KWESI JOHNSON - INGLAN IS A BITCH
Dubroom (DUB) Reggae Video Review



WWW, October 2007 - When LKJ started to chant his in-depth poems over heavy drum and basslines, the genre of DUB POETRY was born.

Strong, conscious words form the bulk of Linton Kwesi Johnson's oeuvre. His poetry will go straight to the heart of the matter, whatever angle of downpression and other forms of (social) injustice the mighty DUB Poet will cover.

In this poem, he calls Inglan for what she is.

Without the backing of the deep, deep DUB sounds by Dennis Bovell that most people associate with LKJ's voice, he recites the poem that Babylon really doesn't want to hear.
