This impromptu reasoning focussed on Big Youth in 2024 speaking about current and forthcoming projects rather than trace back his recording history which has been well documented over the years. Big Youth spoke about a range of topics including Afrobeats, collabs in 2024, his casual demeanor that brightens up any room. He continues to record and perform new material here in 2024 including a forthcoming album Cultural Ikon.
Big Youth aka Jah Youth is one of the most legendary names in the history of reggae. One of reggae's best and most recognizable toasters, his original deejaying style born in early 70’s cannot be mistaken. He has been responsible for thousands of songs and is still very much active 50 years after recording his debut single 'Movie Man'.
Before beginning his musical career, Buchanan worked as a diesel mechanic at Kingston's Sheraton Hotel, where he would develop his toasting skills while he worked. He started to perform at dances, initially influenced by U-Roy, and became a regular with Lord Tippertone's sound system by 1970, becoming the resident deejay, and attracting the attention of Kingston's record producers.
Big Youth has built his legacy on a number of moving hits and a

This impromptu reasoning focussed on Big Youth in 2024 speaking about current and forthcoming projects rather than trace back his recording history which has been well documented over the years. Big Youth made it clear that he didn't wanna revisit old ground andspeak about some of his past recordings.
The ever-smiling rasta. The first rasta to flaunt his locks on stage. A rootical institution in his own rights. This bredrin's fame was huge back in the day. His contributions, immeasurable. A veritable roots superstar. Big Youth. Once a youth, remains a youth.

He was a young man putting out new music in the early 70's.
You must have meant the early 60's.
The youth name for him for true him naah get old

Ppl need to understand that hip-hop actually started in jamaica...Americans simply piggybacked on it and then called it hip-hop
never that,we don't piggy back on no one we set the trend worldwide,we never knew about Jamaica until the late 70's and furthermore,Jamaicans never used to deal with us period! until the mid 80's by then hip hop was already created you can't claim our culture as yours and claim to have originated it because that's disrespect to all indigenous copper tone Americans but more importantly i don't understand where this foolishness is coming from because Jamaicans created Reggae not Hip Hop. There were no Jamaicans at the park Jams in mass in New York, in Hip Hop's inception,then one Jamaican who had to dress like us and do what we did in order to be apart of our culture in order to be respected within the ranks of the hip hoppers in the bronx was Kool Herc a Jamaican born immigrant,he didn't bring hip hop to New York he came into Hip Hop in New York,meaning it was already there and when he tried to play Reggae he got booed because we wasn't checking for that kind of music in the city we was about Hip Hop B-Boy and B-Girl Culture and nothing else...also,the culture is in the language and patwa has no roots in hip hop at all there is no patwa in the Hip Hop language I haven't met no first generation Jamaicans fresh from yard who is a "Mack",in other words Masters of the Hip Hop language,they all came here talking patwa and it's only their
children who have infiltrated our culture but we have never infiltrated Jamaican culture or tried to be the face of Jamaican culture but Jamaicans have the outright audacity to say they created who we are by
insinuating that we copied them but when one look at the tenets of both cultures,one should be able to see that they are vastly different and have only one similarity.....the rhyming of words.
@@ashaolujimi3751 one essay of bullshit. First research the history of Jamaicans in the Bronx, Brooklyn or new York in general. We who didn't knw about Jamaica? You forgot that your ancestors were following Marcus Garvey around like NPCs in the early 1900s? Absolutely none of you were rapping over sampled beats. Rapping did exist but not on sampled beats. Jamaicans invented remixing and sampling. We sampled reggae/rock steady and create dancehall. Kool Herc sampled funk and got hip hop. Other deejays sampled funk and r&b and rock and got disco. So asking what patwa is in hip hop is proof that you have no clue what's going on😂
Zeeks friend
4:14 glad you said it big youth cause black Americans keep saying our elders admit that they copied dancehall from black Americans. We took jiving and turn it into something different. Jive is NOT toasting, saying they're the same thing is like say chariots and cars are the same thing because cars took inspiration from chariots.
The greatest in this category was Ranking Trevor
Jah” big youth is always happy with a positive personality, no screw face , just loving all race🇯🇲💪🏾🌎❤️
Talk bout "Screaming Target"
Yes I love and respect big youth to the maximum but Jamaica artist did not create hip hop music that is not true watch the documentary microphone check by Tariq nassed Jah bless rastafari
Your wrong I was born in nyc rappers listen big youth even first generation rappers say bigyouth style is rapping song like hit the road ,I pray thee all rapping on reggae riddim boss man go check again
Big Youth is a Reggae Legend he had nothing to do with Hip Hop
Jamaica had nothing to do with Hip Hop's creation,we are kindred
bredren and sistrens who reside along the 77th parralell usurping the
same vibrations and frequencies,meanwhile processing them differently through creation.
All dem looping to avoid the truth if you'd just put that looping to good use back then we wouldn't be having this discussion 😂. We're not gonna stop. So no matter what y'all say or even what Tariq nasheed has to say which is the same narrative so nuttn new. We will STILL say it's a Jamaican thing. COPE!
@@roylle6346 That's simply delusional because you can't claim what you didn't create...Jamaicans are good people but they don't inspire or influence the copper tone Americans,we inspire ourselves.so i think you should cope...
Poor interview don't ask the right questions
How abt u starting ur own channel and ask the right questions
bless up, would love to know what the 'right' questions are?
