December 2007 - Almost 20 years after
the event, Early B -dressed up like Haile
Selassie- gives an impressive musical report
of the Emperor's visit to Jamaica.
The year is 1985, and Early B is about to give a
massive performance in Jamaica. Backed up by a
crucial band playing the "Pass The
Kutchie" Riddim, the Rub a Dub MC enters
stage dressed up like Haile Selassie when he
visited Jamaica back in 1966 and starts to talk
about it.
Musically, that is!
In retro-spective, it is kind of clear how the
musical developments in Jamaica were leading from
the more chilled-out Rub a Dub beats towards what
we now know as Ragga or Dancehall. The band plays
and stops, but doesn't quite get there were they
would be a few years later.
