Blessing or Offense? (6) - Webmaster's Column

"BLESSING OR OFFENSE? (6)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, November 22 2007 - Jamaica's long history of sufferation and the courageous way many Jamaicans deal with the shituation Babylon has put them in has been a tremendous influence in the development and nature of (global) Reggae Culture.

What is usually seen as political incorrect in established religions or world philosophies and their culture, is not even a matter of debate!

That is why the Dubroom will promote Reggae Music by artists, regardless of their religious views. That is why the Dubroom will also publish spiritual articles, regardless of the political incorrect nature of these messages.

Everything has a place, and it you don't want to check it, you obviously don't have to.

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

ALI BABA STYLEEEEEE
DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW



WWW, November 2007 - The Ali Baba Riddim has inspired many vocalists and DUB engineers to record some of their better works. 28 minutes of this great riddim definitely isn't too much, here!

They're all there: from the obvious John Holt tune that gave the title to this riddim to the legendary King Tubby dubbing it up BIGTIME, from the necessary Dr Alimantado trimming the barber to the unexpected David JAHSon in showcase style.

Definitely a crucial selection of which 28 minutes isn't too much at all. Especially not when you consider that each and every one of the tracks in this mix can be considered among the better works of each artist individually, too.

JAMMY'S: KING AT THE CONTROLS (FULL LENGTH TRAILER)
Dubroom (DUB) Reggae Video Review



WWW, November 2007 - When Jammy's released the digital Sleng-Teng riddim, he started a complete new genre of Reggae.

Six minutes with the once pupil of King Tubby's, the Founding Father of DUB.

Unfortunately, King Tubby's left us way before his time. During Tubby's life time, (now) King Jammy was known as Prince Jammy and he was one of the top DUB engineers, together with Scientist and others.

Jammy's went on from being of the top DUB engineers to one of the top in the Dancehall business and it had to do with the mighty Sleng Teng riddim.

His story is remarkable and well worth an in-depth documentary, which is proven by the full-length trailer that comes along with it.
