- Derrick Morgan's rock steady rude boy anthem from 1967, as featured in the acclaimed documentary, 'Rudeboy: the Story of Trojan Records'.
Born in Jamaica on 27 March 1940, Morgan made his musical breakthrough in the late-1950s after entering Vere Johns Opportunity Hour, winning the talented contest at the Palace Theatre with rousing interpretations of Little Richard hits.
National tours with Jamaican comedy team Bim & Bam ensued, and in 1959, Morgan finally made his recording debut with his self-penned 'Lover Boy', produced by Duke Reid as an 'exclusive' for his celebrated sound system.
A hugely successful career followed, with his proclamatory 'Tougher Than Tough' proving his greatest success of 1967.

TOUGHER THAN TOUGH (RUDIES IN COURT) LYRICS
Written by Derrick Morgan
Copyright Control
Rudies in court, now boys, rudies in court
Rudies in court, now boys, rudies in court
Order!
Now, this court is in session
And I order all you rude boys to stand
You're brought here for gun shooting,
Ratchet using and bomb throwing
Now, tell me, rude boys
What have you to say for yourselves?
Your Honour, rudies don't fear!
Rudies don't fear, no boys, rudies don't fear
Rudies don't fear, no boys, rudies don't fear
Rougher than rough, tougher than tough
Strong like lion, we are iron
Rudies don't fear, no boys, rudies don't fear
Rudies don't fear, no boys, rudies don't fear
Rudies don't fear, no boys, rudies don't fear
Rudies don't fear, no boys, rudies don't fear
Rougher than rough, tougher than tough
Strong like lion, we are iron
Rudies are free, yes boys, rudies are free
Rudies are free, yes boys, rudies are free
Court adjourn!

This is probably one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard in my life I heard it on the Scarface game on PlayStation to you I really love this song so much I looked up the history of it I love this song so much to my heart
Me too rude boy
Totally forgot, all that misspent youth selling yayo on a video game ha
Yes! The Scarface on Xbox in HD - 720P. We are iron!!! ❤
There's something particularly cute about the "court" coming into session and adjourning with a gavel-like strike of the snare. Love this track.
Rougher than rough
Tougher than tough
Dreader than dread
The mighty Derrick Morgan 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Here bc of Scarface. No game I've ever played had a soundtrack quite as wonderful as that one.
Fr tho! I always find myself looking up all the old songs off that game that get stuck in my head lol
Love this genre of Music, I grew up hearing this!!❤❤❤👍👍👍🕺🕺💃💃
I love this guy. His music is entwined with my love. Hes such a legend and he stands out as a nice guy
I didn't know it was possible ( or even legal ) to dislike this brilliant genre of music.
Still have the Pyramid 7". I first this tune way back in the 80s on the pirate stations.🇯🇲🔥🇯🇲🔥🇯🇲
Absolutely brilliant arrangement this song.
Rocksteady, ska with the rhythm slowed down.
Classic track br Derrick Morgan
Great classic. From a great label.
Yes, remind of when I was a likkle pickney, the adults playing the records and dancing in the 'front room' all dressed up and looking stoosh!
That pianist needs a medal
Just 3 chords C, F and G Major
@@oludotunjohnshowemimo434 it is but it's a groove. I have been playing reggae most of my life - I've had many non reggae players wanting to come in thinking 'how simple it is' its not.
@@oludotunjohnshowemimo434 check same piano player on Hopeton Lewis' Let Me Come On Home
@@hobokenhi-fi5212 Same here, I've had rock guitarists saying it was too simple and easy but they have no idea of how hard it is to keep the rhythmic correctly on offbeat with all the other instruments
This song is awesome discovered it through a quick reggae timeline this being 1st wave ska
I smoked Salvia to this song years and years ago and almost freaked out until this song came on. Calmed me right down and gave me a good trip!
Amazing song
The best! 🥰🥰🥰 “Court adjourned.”
...but they're still going to prison, right? Great song, but saying you're tougher than tough isn't much of a legal defense. Lol
@@thelordgold Y’kno, I wondered the same thing. Lol.
I say that till this day 😁
I was looking for Leftfield '' inspection'' and found this, very nice...a gem.
Who is the one person disliking it? What’s wrong with you.
who are the three people with no taste in music. @Don Cholio: nuff respect from germany.
Three Hippies dislike this boss tune🤨
Rudies
Big tune....international respect to the old Dons in music. Who are the seven fannies dislikeing it, they have no taste in music.
dem rude bomboclats moving around disliking big tunes
I heard another (slower more rootsy) version of this song and had to come here to make sure I wasn’t tripping. This is the only version I know
thats the new version from 97...this is older and remastered i believe
Rude boy 🔥💯🔥🕺🏾🏆
There ain't nothing like starting a distribution mission in Scarface and queuing this song up
YES! 🙌
Yoooo finally found this lol loved it on scarface
Rudies DONT Fear
Tune ❤
Innovator. Legend.
Nossa só mim lembro de ter ouvidos essa canção à primeira vez em São Luíz do Maranhão Brasília
Fucking legendary
Ratchet knife And brass knuckles and big stone flinging..rudy get off..this era , big up my POPS
"I want you to make one [song] off me. I just want you to boost me, and I want it by Friday". And this Is it, you don't mess with a rude boy.
Here because of Slugger CA
[Chorus]
Rudies in court, now boys, rudies in court
Rudies in court, now boys, rudies in court
[Verse 1]
Order
Now, this court is in session
And I order all you rude boys to stand
You are brought here by a verdict for shooting, ratchet using and bomb throwings
Now tell me, rude boys, what have you to say for yourselves?
[Post-Verse]
Your honour
Rudies don't fear
[Chorus]
Rudies don't fear no boys, rudies don't fear
Rudies don't fear no boys, rudies don't fear
[Bridge]
Rougher than rough, tougher than tough
Strong like lion, we are iron
[Chorus]
Rudies don't fear no boys, rudies don't fear
Rudies don't fear no boys, rudies don't fear
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Rudies don't fear no boys, rudies don't fear
Rudies don't fear no boys, rudies don't fear
[Bridge]
Rougher than rough, tougher than tough
Strong like lion, we are iron
[Chorus]
Rudies are free, yeah boys, rudies are free
Rudies are free, yeah boys, rudies are free

Anyone can say who is guitarist on this?
Lynn Taitt The King of Rocksteady guitar.
I heard Lee perry ghostwrote this song as if he didn't invent and pioneer enough
Who’s here because they have a court date coming up?
Shanty town? Sound a like
Same riddim maybe
Or rudie got soul riddim, same producer and label for shanty town, tougher than tough and rudie got soul
Not same rhythm but same players, studio.
Uh Oh
Scarface video game..
@Royal5k You know what a chazer is, Frank?
@Royal5k Watch the film.
@Royal5k yeah it was a quote from the film.
@@Puxi a pig.A guy who wants more than what he needs.He don’t fly straight no more
watch flim first
One of the alleged crimes is "bum showing"! Oooh, missus!
pretty sure that's 'bomb trowing', mate.
@@robridgeway1964 You could well be right. However, have you seen a book called "Rock File" edited by Charlie Gillett, 1972? One of the chapters is about Caribbean music, "Johnny Cool and The Isle of Sirens" by Johnny Copasetic. Quote from page 38 - " The rudies' crimes in the songs are almost always looting, shooting and, curiously enough, 'bum showing'". Caribbean mooning, I guess! Thanks for your comment!
Yuch Stereo
Not really meant for headphone listening, lol
