Fearing File Sharing (5) (Webmaster Column)



Dubroom Online - Edition November 30, 2007



"FEARING FILE SHARING (5)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, November 30 2007 - the rise of the Online Artist Community and the emancipation of the audience who will at least "try before they buy" form two major threats to the very existence of what we call the established entertainment industry.

Is this a thing to lament over? Is it sad, when big ones like Vivendi will go down as a result of the fact they can no longer impose their propaganda on the people?

Is it sad, when people like Madonna will no longer be able to spend too much money on too much wrong places at the expense of too much poor people?

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

We A Raggamuffin (MP3 Review)

WE A RAGGAMUFFIN
DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW




WWW, November 2007 - When a mix is called "We A Raggamuffin" and the first selection is a crucial worship of JAH coming straight from the very private collection of the Steppin' Youth Sound System, JAH JAH Children know they're going to listen to some more uplifting sounds!

"Raggamuffin" can mean many different things. Sure, it's the name of a specific style of Reggae. The word also refers to Ghetto Youths, many of them involved in Music too.

The Jamaican version of "Gangster Rap"? Hmmm... Not quite. Many of the Raggamuffin or Ghetto Youth give thanks and praises to the Most High in a situation where many would curse JAH.

Yes, survival is a must and even the King James Version says not to judge the poor when they steal a bread to feed himself and his family. A thing which the churches seem to ignore, but JAH doesn't forget it and neither do the Ghetto Youth.

This very reasoning seems to be the theme behind another great podcast by the Paris based Steppin' Youth Sound System. Great selections by Mikal Rose and Yami Bolo, to name just two out of -what is really- many.

The focus of the 23 track mix is on digital riddims, heartically voiced and dubbed where the selectors themselves add stuff to the music continually as well.

A Big Up to all Ghetto Youths we are thankful to forward!

MICHAEL ROSE - SHINE EYE GAL (LIVE)
Dubroom (DUB) Reggae Video Review




WWW, November 2007 - Will he be able to do it without the help of those that were there when this track was born? The former lead singer of Black Uhuru gives the answer at his performance at the German Chiemsee festival.

Yes, he's getting older: Michael Rose, the former lead singer of Black Uhuru whose voice turned out to become as similar with the name of the group as Sly and Robbie. His dreads are much longer and he has his own way of wearing them.

His performance at Chiemsee marked the absence of those that were with him during that time as much as the brother's ability to lead a band and backing vocals into performing such a classic tune as the completely politikally inkorrekt Shine Eye Gal.

See!
