EVALUATING 2008 (4)

Dubroom Online - December 14, 2008


"EVALUATING 2008 (4)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, December 14 2008 - The major project of this year was my column "Mystery Babylon".

Even though I primarily wrote it for someone special, I thought it was also a good idea to share the things with others, too.

The Dubroom promotes (DUB) Reggae and Consciousness, and a part of this is done by, let's say, putting footnotes to Reggae lyrics.

For many people, "Babylon" and "Jah" are just words. However, it does turn out that when you do the research, you will discover that these things that the Rastafarians speak about in their lyrics, are actually speaking about real things.

More Tomorrow...

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

HISTORY OF REGGAE - 1
DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW



WWW, December 2008 - In part one of this three-part Reggaementary, our host shows us the tunes that gave birth to the name Reggae.

In three parts, our Hawai based takes us from the days of Jamaica when Reggae was born to the here and now, especially to Hawai.

The first part contains an excursion into the birth of the name Reggae, as well as the music. Who coined the phrase first? There is a difference in opinion, and we hear them both.

We also hear the tunes that gave name to the music that was there before Reggae: Rocksteady.

Everything is presented in a relaxed atmosphere: a few tunes, some comments, and some more tunes.

MESSIAN DREAD - CHURCH STATE SYSTEM - EXTENDED DUB MIX

MESSIAN DREAD - CHURCH STATE SYSTEM
DUBROOM MP3 RELEASE



A militant, foundational Steppers drum and a typical Messian Dread bassline carry a message where Pastor, President, Soldier and Terrorist are identified as all working for the very same system.


LYRICS

Can someone tell me why
The pastor and the President
Are lying the same lie
It can't be no coincidence

Can someone tell me why
The Soldier and the Terrorist
Believe in the same lie
And pray before they shake their fist

(chorus)
It's the System
The Church State System
It's the System
Babylon System
Queendom of Lucifer...

Yes Someone told me why
The pastor and the President
Are lying the same lie
Cause it is no coincidence

Yes Someone told me why
The Soldier and the Terrorist
Believe in the same lie
And pray before they shake their fist

(chorus)
It's the System
The Church State System
It's the System
Babylon System
Queendom of Lucifer...

The title comes in four different mixes, each one with their own specific vibe and purpose:
