Terror Fabulous was one of the hottest dancehall DJs at the outset of the 1990s but just as his career was taking off he completely disappeared from the music industry.
Growing up in the 90s you would hear Terror Fabulous on every riddim, and all his songs are big hits and will always be. He doesn’t even need to make new music. He’s one of those artist where you can get a full night‘s performance from him with no additional artist, no additional songs. I wish him well
Reminds me of Dennis Brown. Living in times when dancehall was overshadowing everything else, I lost touch with Roots Reggae in much of the 90s and 2000s only discovering in the 2010s that Dennis Brown had passed away over a decade ago..
Yes bless up mi dj terror fabulous. We met over don one studio in Brooklyn 1995. Fabulous is a genuine brother clean heart yute. Him never hype those days all when him tune Hot 🔥 a dancehall. Respect to the pioneer terror fabulous
Thank you Reggae Appreciation Society for this update on Terror Fabulous. Much respect. I wish him well. Is a great artist with a unique and wonderful voice
I first got wind of Terror Fabulous reading thru a biography of Nadine Sutherland a few years back actually... He's made a notable contribution to the development of dancehall in the 90s
Bless up Terror and so glad to know that you are still making a good living from your music. Clear, clear favourite in the UK dancehall world. Blessings and much appreciation Reggae Appreciation Society ❤💛💚🖤
"Action" was hot and played everywhere even venues that strictly played Hip-Hop and R&B. "Gangster's Anthem" was my jam, though. I hope he gets the care he needs and that he's still fulfilled. I recall being confused about who was Buju and who he was.
My spirit is telling me he got fixed. Look how he was popular and music was popping. He just vanished like that….bipolar disorder doesn’t really make you go out like that. If so, it would’ve showed up in the beginning of his career. Jealously and envy is a big thing. Since he parted with Dave Kelly his life went left. Stayed prayed up.
With respect, as a bipolar sufferer myself, you have no idea what you're talking about. Frank Bruno never returned to the ring once he had his bipolar crisis and was on medication. Mental health problems are wide, and can affect people in different ways, regardless of the diagnosis.
@@chikebunch3119finally someone who knows his music. He sounds nothing like Buju and for the life of me I can't fathom how people confuse both of them.
Terror wasn't a coke head. Him live a Portsmouth in a place called Belgium. The man Tek up the niabingi vow before understanding what it meant. People that was afraid of his rise did a few things. Conversation we might have to talk to buju about.
My Jamaican twin( almost) 3 days older than I... inspirational account there...I wish him all the best in the future...he looks well, considering the alleged issues and struggles. Jah blessings... wish to meet him. Somebody bring him to St.Lucia for a show...
Terror fabulous never eminate or fallow buju..patern, Terror is extremely original, he is the best rythim rider of all time..Terror fabulous is the greatest..real talk.
Somebody took him out of the race. I heard from someone close to Terro that he didn't do drugs.. didn't even smoke weed. Wishing you good health DJ, while we patiently awaits your return. ❤❤
Terro - Commander B on Choice FM got me into Terro when Choice FM was Choice FM, immediately I thought it was Buju, indeed, Terro style was heavily influenced by the Gargamel, Bi-poplar is still manic depression and is the Crown Chakra - eat everything that is Purple for the Crown like egg plant+ the depression means the pressure is affecting the Chakra system which is your central nervous system, whatever triggered Terro he still pulls through which is his testament, we don't know how sum one got to where they are - many artist like Junior Marvin+ and regular people all have bouts of depression - Terro delivered his messages like he was supposed to and this presentation reminds all of us that the message is in the music, big up Terro, yes you are fabulous - t-ankhs for the memories - big up to all those connected with JA and beyond And the beat goes on
Thanks very much Reggae appreciation society, Terror Fabulous is, as we all know and Heard, Alongside Gagamel, in appeal sounds and character wise. Only given the size of break, not big enough for him. That's music. Long live the Fabulous Terror.🎉🎉🎉
# Unfortunately these sort of happenings ain't OBNORMAL to individuals who ENDORSE betterment for their futuristic endeavors , A Touch of ENVIOUS energy 😕 😒 always interpit the outcome only if u give UpP , May our Almighty Father guide him throughout his Unfortunate sucess , TIMES the MASTER ... !
Some say it's obeah some say he coke out all I know he was among the great the likes of buju and shabba a very sad situation to one of jamaica best dancehall DJ if not D best.
More blessings terro fabulous you was a hit 90s you was 🌎 wide dancehall messenger lord please help terro fabulous make him rich in health and wealth 🙏
Great information, i learned a few things. I'm American but all i did was listen to Dancehall from 88'-present. Terror Fabulous was the man, i hope he's getting healthy so he can put out new music! Respect
He was diagnosed with Bi polar when he was 15, he hated taking the medications because he told dave kelly it made him unable to sleep when he take the medication and especially when touring, so he stopped taking it and things went downhill, sne day he went to king jammys and chilling even fight bounty for no reason
Saw you flashed up Cutty Ranks. I definitely wouldn't consider him to be ragga. In my opinion ragga doesn't just mean digital dancehall reggae. Mid 80s was very different than the nineties, just as the 90s is a lot different than dancehall in the 2000s. Maybe I'm wrong, but there are huge differences between decades in dancehall.
Terror fabulous, one of the first wave of studio artist that never cut his teeth on sound systems, but was a natural recording artist, was there an incident where he was supposed to do halftime Super Bowl with Nadine Sutherland, but for some reason he rejected it, and that was the beginning of his disappearance, can anybody shed any light on that, all in all truly great dancehall legend 🔥🔥🔥💯
Well all I know terro fabulous is truly blessed I pray that God will give him another way out and free him from all that happens and happening 🙏 right now I pray for him to him not only terro fabulous but Mr Campbell awell
When Terror do gangsters anthem,nobody out here in the world never know who is Buju Banton,and even when one of Buju songs ,Deportee ah hit ,it never get the spotlight like Gangsters Anthem,Terror put desert eagle shoes bad man jamaica style pon the map,that was the first video portryaying how a real Jamaican stepper move like,,,because Shabba never do them type of songs on his platform,so when Terror when Terror come and say,SHOW ME UNNO HAND, IS JUST A WAY OF SAYING EVERY man BAAD IN AH jAMAICA,,,the SONG was distributed in 1992 BUT THE VIDEO DID OUT WAY BEFORE,,and did out before Patra Cobra and Richie Stevens,,rise to fame...
First off, is that really a pic of Dave Kelly? I rate Dave Kelly as the number 1 dancehall producer of all time, but the man is a ghost no footage anywhere didn't even know what he looked like till now lol. Hope Terror Fabulous is doing well and is happy and enjoying life. Few will ever experience the heights that he was reached.
Them guy invested in coke and pvssy and not property simple. If you don't got the mind to be a business owner you will never be one. When you a step out learn to love yourself it it the greatest love of all. You think a little rob them rob Little Lenny? Some man knows how to keep clean some just don't.
Nonsense! Terror Fabulous did NOT copy Buju Banton's voice or style! Terror used his natural voice & penned a lot of his hits! Jigsy King & Mega Banton are the ones who copied Buju's voice, even though they have hit songs.
Terror Fabulous is Dave Kelly's best talent. Terror Fabulous is far better than baby cham , He's in the top 3 best Dance hall Dj voices along with shabba, Buju, Bounty killer.
'ACTION' was by far the biggest Jamaican duet of the 90 that became an international hits...Its still played all obver the world even at clubs.
Greatly underrated... Terror Siddung pon di riddim like a lizard pon a limb ...
Talent kyaah dun.
Love you King Fabulous
One of Jamaica's finest 🖤
Growing up in the 90s you would hear Terror Fabulous on every riddim, and all his songs are big hits and will always be. He doesn’t even need to make new music.

Agony,pain & luvin Anno one . manners as a youth of 90s tis man thought me ❤👍🏾
One of Jamaica 🇯🇲 greatest dancehall artist
It sad to see and let our greats fall along the way without giving a helping hand 😔
As a 80s baby and 90s kid I grew up with his music although I never knew that he disappeared from the music scene for over ten years.
Reminds me of Dennis Brown. Living in times when dancehall was overshadowing everything else, I lost touch with Roots Reggae in much of the 90s and 2000s only discovering in the 2010s that Dennis Brown had passed away over a decade ago..
Thanks for featuring this artist he is by far one of my favorites to date. It would be so amazing if he could return the stage or studio ❤
One of Jamaicas baddest..dnt kno why the industry gave up on him..still a big start fabulous no matter what..u put in the work
I interviewed Terror. He was very polite and mild mannered. Insiders I know have said 'mental health'. Bless up.
I met this man in person in Boston, Massachusetts, many years ago. He was wearing a black Amani Suit. It really saddens me to see what became of him.
Yes bless up mi dj terror fabulous. We met over don one studio in Brooklyn 1995. Fabulous is a genuine brother clean heart yute. Him never hype those days all when him tune Hot 🔥 a dancehall. Respect to the pioneer terror fabulous

He will never lose his stripes with me 💜💜💜💜💜 PURPLE
Big up Terror Fabulous, I wish him well 🙏
It's really sad what happened to him. It took years before I found out that "Action" wasn't Buju's track
How people confuse Terror and Buju amazes me. They don't sound alike. Mega Banton, Jigsy King, are artists that sound like Buju.
@@chikebunch3119finally someone who knows his music. He sounds nothing like Buju and for the life of me I can't fathom how people confuse both of them.
@@chikebunch3119 Buju modeled himself on Burro Banton.
@@chikebunch3119terror first tunes dem sounded like buju before he cemented his own unique style
@@scorpio_9810terror in the beginning used to sound like Buju. But he eventually carved out his own sound & style.
Thank you for this please 🙏 keep doing the good work ❤👍🏿🇯🇲💯
Great great video again. I love the use of syntax in your presentation. Brilliant brother ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿

I said WHO have to gain if Fabulous downfall ?
Who was his main rival? After fabulous maad out which artist career started to rise? It simple
Are you saying a buju bun bad fire for him? what really happened?
@@tracksmanbeats1467 I’ve heard similar
@@tracksmanbeats1467 Don't want to accuse anyone of anything.
Buju an Terror sound completely different don't know why the comparison
I agree Megga Banton more sound like Buju all a dem try to imitate Shaba.
My Jamaican twin( almost) 3 days older than I... inspirational account there...I wish him all the best in the future...he looks well, considering the alleged issues and struggles. Jah blessings... wish to meet him.
Somebody bring him to St.Lucia for a show...
I wish him well 🙏🏾🖤

I've Got The CD of Terror Fabulous Yaga Yaga Still Playing it.

And am playing him since yesterday
Some say it's obeah some say he coke out all I know he was among the great the likes of buju and shabba a very sad situation to one of jamaica best dancehall DJ if not D best.
Extremely talented artist.
he has a story to tell
Terro fabulous not a coke head I record terro yesterday
Science yes, sad
I still listen to Terror Fab up to this day Iyah
More blessings terro fabulous you was a hit 90s you was 🌎 wide dancehall messenger lord please help terro fabulous make him rich in health and wealth 🙏
He gave a stunning performance at Dancehall Thursdays earlier this yr
One of jamaica's greatest of all times
One of greatest dance hall reggae artist in his time
Great information, i learned a few things. I'm American but all i did was listen to Dancehall from 88'-present. Terror Fabulous was the man, i hope he's getting healthy so he can put out new music! Respect
This breaks my heart. So talented.
Baby Wayne!!!! 👑
Bad bad artist who never reached his full potential
He was diagnosed with Bi polar when he was 15, he hated taking the medications because he told dave kelly it made him unable to sleep when he take the medication and especially when touring, so he stopped taking it and things went downhill, sne day he went to king jammys and chilling even fight bounty for no reason
This is very insightful. Thanks for sharing
Saw you flashed up Cutty Ranks. I definitely wouldn't consider him to be ragga. In my opinion ragga doesn't just mean digital dancehall reggae. Mid 80s was very different than the nineties, just as the 90s is a lot different than dancehall in the 2000s. Maybe I'm wrong, but there are huge differences between decades in dancehall.
I heard one of his best friends said terro didn’t even smoke
One of the best DJ ever 💥💥💥💯💯💯
I've been a fan of T. Fabulous since I first heard him. To say he copied Buju Blanton's voice I think is unfair. The man had his own schtick.
The hits kept flowing, but did the money. Were these guys set up with ASCAP to receive royalties for their written work?
Terror fabulous, one of the first wave of studio artist that never cut his teeth on sound systems, but was a natural recording artist, was there an incident where he was supposed to do halftime Super Bowl with Nadine Sutherland, but for some reason he rejected it, and that was the beginning of his disappearance, can anybody shed any light on that, all in all truly great dancehall legend 🔥🔥🔥💯
They pulled his last album from Apple music in march of 2014
Great Mc 🔥🔥🔥🔥
God know I just can't believe but his music lives on I pray that God will fixed what happen and set terro fabulous free
God bless my brother 🙏
Very sad 😔 what happened to him
Well all I know terro fabulous is truly blessed I pray that God will give him another way out and free him from all that happens and happening 🙏 right now I pray for him to him not only terro fabulous but Mr Campbell awell
I thought he was a Trini...... Really good artist!!!!
Saw him abt a month ago ,he really looks crazy...
When Terror do gangsters anthem,nobody out here in the world never know who is Buju Banton,and even when one of Buju songs ,Deportee ah hit ,it never get the spotlight like Gangsters Anthem,Terror put desert eagle shoes bad man jamaica style pon the map,that was the first video portryaying how a real Jamaican stepper move like,,,because Shabba never do them type of songs on his platform,so when Terror when Terror come and say,SHOW ME UNNO HAND, IS JUST A WAY OF SAYING EVERY man BAAD IN AH jAMAICA,,,the SONG was distributed in 1992 BUT THE VIDEO DID OUT WAY BEFORE,,and did out before Patra Cobra and Richie Stevens,,rise to fame...
Terror didn’t sound nothing like Buju … cut it out
Great documentary btw but real dancehall fans know the difference… they’re both great
WHAT R U SAYING, HAVE U ever played Sound ? Yes MANY PEOPLE couldn't tell the difference.
You must be Def not to hear the similarities to buju and terro fabulous
@@roadcoadog gangsta anthem sounds nothing like buju bro cut it out
Terror fabulous was ask to perform ”action” with nadine Sutherland at the Super Bowl but he declined that’s how big “action” was internationally
Terro fabulous wasnt born in st catherine he is from georgia in st thomas he went to portmore as a child
That what I hear he’s from St. Thomas
Terro fabulous was one artist who could ride any rythm yo put down. Smh...
Also Capleton
Sad😢time will tell
who terro? mi artist
Is he from st Thomas or Portmore ?"
Great
Last thing i heard about him his friend wore ttying to get some of his money owed to him
Fabulous have a mental deterioration
Terry fabulous was at the same level with those of his same generation like buju banton
One king Beenie forever ♾️
First off, is that really a pic of Dave Kelly? I rate Dave Kelly as the number 1 dancehall producer of all time, but the man is a ghost no footage anywhere didn't even know what he looked like till now lol. Hope Terror Fabulous is doing well and is happy and enjoying life. Few will ever experience the heights that he was reached.
Him fellow artist friend dem work pon the man because he was way talented than dem
Terror was supposed to be as big as Buju. 0:25 damn that is a star studded photo right there. So many bad artists in one pic.
They said they put something in his weed to mess up his brain over jealousy
Lizard tail
He had the most scariest realest gun tunes out
If i'm wrong, then tell me who.
Fabulous was excellent.
Mad House Crew❤
Them guy invested in coke and pvssy and not property simple. If you don't got the mind to be a business owner you will never be one. When you a step out learn to love yourself it it the greatest love of all. You think a little rob them rob Little Lenny? Some man knows how to keep clean some just don't.
Non had nothing over him
Nonsense! Terror Fabulous did NOT copy Buju Banton's voice or style! Terror used his natural voice & penned a lot of his hits! Jigsy King & Mega Banton are the ones who copied Buju's voice, even though they have hit songs.
Fabulous eat 0ff all the riddim not even crumbs left!!
Dwl what is ragga mi general if u ago do documentary please do u research it's reggae not ragga
Ragga is short for Raggamuffin, the electronic form of dancehall
Real talk
@@ReggaeAppreciationSociety ragamuffin is a term used by old-time gangsters here in my homeland of Jamaica not associated with any genera of music
Terro Fab born in georgia a small community in St.Thomas Jamaica not St.Catherine
Terror Fabulous is Dave Kelly's best talent. Terror Fabulous is far better than baby cham , He's in the top 3 best Dance hall Dj voices along with shabba, Buju, Bounty killer.
huh? terror was roughly the same time as buju, Jigsy was before both
