No it did not......this song was made about 5 years after the first recorded rap reccod. So stop the foolishness of given false credit. You need to the original speed rapping of the Treacherous Three rap group in 1979. czcams.com/video/ppdQMWKQ2ok/video.html
HOLY SMOKES! For 1984?? ...this type of fast rap flow and delivery mid-song was wayyy before it's time! I'm speechless after hearing, very REAL and FELT lyrical content. BIG TUNE right here! RASPECK.
This is a textbook dancehall tune that is 2nd to none. Lyrically, it has roots, culture, gospel & politics that rhymes from start to finish. No Bounty, Beenie, Papa San, or Stitchie song can touch this tune.
The most impressive thing about this song apart from concious lyrics is the fact that in the entire second verse, or the entire song for that matter he hasn't taken a breath he just kept on going.
This man has the fire of the Holy Spirit in his heart to flow like this God bless us all.
I’m so privileged to have lived in the era where reggae music was at its best
Right on the lips to much nuff fast chat
I'm here 05/03/2024 listening to this. Lyrical
One of the best song ever made!!! Sick!!!
Still listening in 2023. A master of his craft. Saxon legend.
2024 respect Papa Levi
This type of reggae gave birth to hip hop. So please give it its props it’s only the right thing to do.. “back off and let the breeze cool me off”
