I gotta say that UB40 is the only reggae band that I DO like.

Which, I think, says more about me than it does about the genre.

Not really reggae. More like reggae-inflected britpop.

I know.

But I am a simple preacher-man, with simple tastes.

And before anybody else says some dumb shit because they don't actually know a thing about the subject, I think you should all go listen to Tiken Jah Fakoly's L'Africain album. If you can get through that and STILL tell me you categorically dislike reggae, then I'll start taking your opinion seriously.

I will give it a shot.

Apropos of nothing... the birth name of Shabba Ranks was Rexton Rawlston Fernando Gordon.  And he changed it to... Shabba Ranks.

Whiskey.

Tango.

Foxtrot.

"Ranks" is a fairly common component of stage names in Reggae. I don't know why, but it is.

I particularly suggest the songs Ouvrir Les Frontiers and My Cote D'Ivoire.

But his real name is WAY more awesome.

Rastafarian priests bestowed the new moniker Snoop Lion upon the music icon when he visited Jamaica in search of "a new path."
"I didn't know that until I went to the temple, where the High Priest asked me what my name was, and I said, 'Snoop Dogg.' And he looked me in my eyes and said, 'No more. You are the light; you are the lion.' From that moment on, it's like I had started to understand why I was there," he explained at a press conference.
Born Calvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr., Lion has always felt a special connection with Jamaica's most celebrated music legend, according to news.com.au. "I have always said I was Bob Marley reincarnated," Lion said. "I feel I have always been a Rastafari. I just didn't have my third eye open, but it's wide open right now."

But if he's the reincarnation of Bob Marley, that means that from 1971-1981, he was two people at once.

I assumed he meant Dyer Maker, which I would imagine barely counts as reggae.  I worked with a guy from Trinidad once, and he would practically foam at the mouth whenever anyone described that song as reggae... which I, of course, constantly did.

Hoops correct and that was sort of the idea behind it. To show how little i knew about reggae. Also if lion was always a rastifarian why was he at one point a muslim? Crazy pills?

Is Nation of Islam the same as regular Islam?  I was under the impression there was a slight difference.
