Back in those days, these artists had their own fan club, yet when they came together onstage, the focus was to entertain the crowd, not to compete and strive for one-upmanship and forwards. It was pure love, harmony and togetherness, something our current crop could do well to emulate.
Anybody listening in 2020? Big Up all Flatbush Massive!! 1980s Biltmore Ballroom, Starlight Lounge, Kenmore movie theater. If you was jamming in a basement party, give a thumbs up!👍
Yo..im 41yrs old i grew up in flatbush BK listening to the cassette with these dudes..this is the real shit right here... Throw backs for your ass..peace
Burro Hot! Hot! Hot! They don't hold party like this any more. Back inna di 80's it was more about the art and skill than the money. Bring back the old school dance hall!!!
big up all the trini's, yardies, vincey, baygons, the whole west indies. this video represent original music, respect, love and peace... big respect to " christofxyz" yuh fabulous, they crack yuh thermos.... one luv for this.... this video save me,,serious talk fadda
+Daniel Graham aww thanks yeah my older sister brought me up with it in the 90's in East London she would always always have the tunes pumping and made me cassettes back then with dancehall and reggae on so I could listen to it on my Walkman haha. I do love a bit of lutan fyah and some of alkaline and vybz and sizzla etc the list goes on and on love Jamaican music
These are my all time favourite DJ's from the 70's till now:- U-Roy, I-Roy, Big Youth, Prince Fari, Prince Muhamed, Trinity, Ranking Joe, U-Brown, Clint Eastwood, Yellow Man, Super Cat, Ninja Man, Cutty Ranks, Smiley Culture, Shabba Ranks, Buju Banton, Capelton, Beenie Man, Bounty Killa, Sizzla Kalonji, Vybz Kartel, Mavado.
SocaPhD if yuh axe mi richie spice haffi deh pon yuh list too. JA ave plenty big reggae artists. InI live dung a germany, ppl a gwaan mad roun here an love di dancehall culture. InI is a white bwoy 26yrs ol but reggae was mi first luv uzeet. Ifrica di cravel of mankind deh wi all come from. no matter whos president selassie is king seen. big up to all ppl dem spread di words of H.I.M. germawi quedamawi negus nagast haile selassie
So what about the likes of Lord Sassafrass, Althia & Donna, General Echo, General Trees, Jose Wales & Charlie Chaplin, Brigadier Jerry, Sister Nancy, Michigan & Smilie. -- All the a fore mentioned had an impact on the dance hall scene one way or the other.
i will add to that wonder list : Ranking Toyan, Burro Banton.. Nicodemus ( how can you leave out Nicodemus ?), Junior Demus, Junior Cat, Sister Nancy, Terror Fabulous, Tiger, Billy Boyo and the great Jah Thomas
respect to the foundation,man like tenor saw nicodemus,r.i.p...burro banton mi general,cutty you large,little john mi artist,supercat,much honor ...from shiney culture....
The first dude who 'Ram tha session' rocked me with the Simon Templar reference....my favorite and easily The Greatest TV SHOW of all time!! Bless Jah and Roger Moore~!!!!
Can't get bored of watching/listening to this. Proper dj's, proper lyrics, proper tunes. None of that bs you hear nowadays like Vybz Cartel where they just chat pure shit dressed like a Christmas tree your partially blind granny decorated
Love when Burro Banton hands off the mic, and calls cutty an "apprentice"(?) and Demus lets out a chuckle...haha, cutty correctly states it "be a cantankerous business tonight" and then DESTROYS, what an amazing video
I was there 1985 , not at this show , but , i did see all of them at other stageshows and partys in 1985 - Jamaica , Music will newer be like this .. i realy miss this kind of vibes
Iz ah man weh grew up in this era and i look at all de artist weh pass wey. Nitty, Tenah, Demus, and the likes and wonder what would they be like now. Sadly though there's no market for old reggae artist, especially here in the US. Hence why so many come here to try and buss. Funny as i was just talking to Shabba about this a few months back (He lives in the next town from me). We need more labels like VP to dist. some of the veterans & bring them back.
Thanks ASTRO I never understood rap and lived in a square box-now I know why my kids always liked hip hop-I have learned alot from you and how much good there is in hip hop-thanks for sharing this video!

Pure madness. So much talent on one stage. Crazy.
Pure dancehall. The late 70s and into the 80s was the golden age for dancehall.
Todays stuff doesnt compare. Respect to the day.

RIP Tenor Saw, we love you.
If only I could travel back in time; I was 3 years old in 1985. Thanks to CZcams, a virtual time machine, I can "live" this experience, repeatedly.
this is an inspiration to all young black MC's
This is classic. Peak of dancehall right here. Steady downward slide since, culminating in what we have now....oh for the old days....
i must disagree: kartel would murda dem all inna one verse
The point made was clearly missed.
So glad I see over a million witness this genius and originality

This is the original free style before RAP and HIP-HOP was invented. The mother of the new school music,the music speaks the truth.
Well rap and hip hop were from West Indian Americans in NY anyway.
Real great music ⭐️⭐️🇯🇲🇯🇲💯💯👌👌👌
Big up Joe Lickshot...De original gun
Is he an artist as well ? whats his name tho ?
i had the whole session 30 years ago! unforgetable session

Wow man,I love classic dancehall,young an old rippin up the mic.
The man next to the Cat who a mek the noise is none other than Joe 'Lick Shot'. Dancehall noise maker of the 80's.
Diabetes. One of the few djs from that generation of dancehall who actually died of natural causes. Miss him, he and Super Cat were dope together.
Classic, love de early dj!!!
Buro Banton never runs out of lyrics
He is the best there
Real mic General.🫡💯👏🏾👏🏾
Cutty destroys all worlds - he is KING!!!
blessed love and thanks for artists like these.

Original dancehall...the father of hip hop
Super cat is the best
Yes ah true warrior!
Whole heap ah talent in a this dance!
Iz ah man weh grew up in this era and i look at all de artist weh pass wey. Nitty, Tenah, Demus, and the likes and wonder what would they be like now. Sadly though there's no market for old reggae artist, especially here in the US. Hence why so many come here to try and buss. Funny as i was just talking to Shabba about this a few months back (He lives in the next town from me). We need more labels like VP to dist. some of the veterans & bring them back.
Live at Skateland, Stereo Mars Sound System 1985, big up all the generals pon this one.. Still ah listen in 2020, check out de longer version
