sorry folks just havin a bad day ...........didnt mean to take it out on ya like that.......wont happen again...i didnt know about the religious perspective you were coming from. if i had known that i wouldnt have said all those things. now that i know you are religious i can see the appeal of lucky dube to you.

i still stand by my words though. ask any SERIOUS dub fans and lucky dube is not at the top percentile of genuine reggea artistes out there.
peace.

Okay okay..let a Dread speak now.....I agree Lucky Dube has got heavy lyrics and positive ones too.So did Robert Nesta..so dont say if Robert did what Lucky's doing reggae would be ruling.....Reggae is Reggae and it rules already...so wake up and see!! As for who is King..surely surely.....we need not argue this one out....you know Robert is the One...though I got maximun respect for Lucky coz he represents Africa big time reggae wise. So now that you've checked out Lucky Dube,heard his message,check out Luciano,Beres Hammond,Culture and tell me what how you feel about the messages they portray.....okay?!So enjoy your reggae while you can and welcome to the reggae family...cah we only preach peace and love to all....Bless.
