come on...................... you know your tired of the mr. clean look

I have a feeling that Harry Belafonte he is not...

[SunnyHouTX]

Wrong genre Roy. Harry was never considered reggae and I doubt he claimed to be reggae either. Whereas most reggae artists make music for the local carribean scene, Harry was concentrating on stage performances here in the States so had a certain show tunes quality to his music.

[SunnyHouTX]

And thank God only Harry Belafonte sounds like Harry Belafonte. Don't get me wrong, he was a great musician, but his appeal has definitely waned over the years.

[mnemenoi]

Well said indeed, I kinda doubted he was reggae exactly, but damn he was great. I have some vinyl that is terrific

Do you actually have a player for them? I imagine they sound great. Some old school stuff just sounds better that way.

[mnemenoi]

I have 2 nice turntables (Technics) and a hoard of vinyl, but I DJ and am one of the last of a dying breed that actually spin old vinyl. I have my collection of stuff I like and don't spin as well. Lots of good original swing (30's-40's) and Nina Simone...

Nas and Damian Marley all the way. Their lyrical ingenuity far surpasses Snoop's.

[barrettsline]

I cant lie. I'm not old enough, to know many and much about the bands and groups of that era. But growing up I did hear a lot of that style music from family memebers on my fathers side. I must say some of the old stuff does have it place still in my coloection of music. The brass band backup was always cool.

Not the same thing J. Let's talk when Nas switches genres rather than collaborate with a Marley for cred.

Biggups to Snoop for even trying.

Biggups to Snoop for even trying.

gotta give a +1 to that. Many artists crumble and fail when trying to break from a genre they have been affiliated with and know for, for so long.

Song aint that bad. Sunny, word on when the album is to come out?

[SunnyHouTX]

Sometime this year. LOL, maybe 12/31

[SunnyHouTX]

Or maybe 4/20/13
