Soon after the release of Equal Rights, Tosh performed at the One Love Peace Concert alongside the likes of Bob Marley, Ras Michael, Inner Circle, Culture, and others. Peter lashed out strongly at Prime Minister Michael Manley and Opposition Leader Edward Seaga, both in attendance, about government inaction and the legalization of ganja. He attacked the "shitstem" which he felt was designed to oppress the black race. The retribution by the embarrassed politicians was swift and brutal. Pulled into a police station for smoking ganja, Tosh was beaten by at six to seven police officers for over ninety minutes. According to Peter, it was only because he knew how to roll his eyes in the back of his head that he survived the beating.
Peter Tosh
http://www.thetalkingdrum.com/toshpeter.jpg
http://www.thetalkingdrum.com/line.gif
Peter Tosh was born into this world without a father or mother with the responsibility, or the time to raise young Peter. He was raised by his aunt, although Peter's personality would have you believe that he raised himself. An extremely self-reliant, self-dependent entity, Tosh fought for those who could not fight themselves. He was a voice for those who had not the means, nor the ability to speak to a worldwide audience. While those with power on the island of Jamaica saw Peter as a threat to the existing regime (A regime comprised of corrupt 'politricksters' who ally with Jamaica's small, wealthy, land owning class), the people saw Peter as a rebel hero. A champion of human rights, throughout his life Peter fought against the vampires and the duppies and all evil spirits, the spirits which Peter himself feared more than anything. Peter Tosh was a saint. Not a saint in the conventional, religious definition, but insofar as that he was put on this earth with a purpose. He was to expose the filth and corruption and expunge the wickedness of the ghosts which haunted him his entire life. Peter was a savior, sent to liberate the people of Jamaica, both physically and mentally.
As for the majority of Jamaicans, life was spent scrounging for a dollar, struggling to put food on their children's table, and a roof over their head; That was if you can find some brush or metal with which to build one. It was difficult to find employment, and many of those that were employed were done so temporarily. Peter had greater visions for the Island of Jamaica. He was upset with the treatment of his people, and he did nothing to hide his feelings. It is believed by many that this is the very character trait which led to Tosh's murder. The voice of the people was eliminated by three supposed robbers who stole not one material object. At the tender age of forty three, Peter Tosh was silenced, as were the hopes of many Jamaicans.
do you got Peter Tosh Pick Myself Up (Live)?
I'm getting hyped on ragga.. Theres this club called "Stengade30" which is usually a punk/rock and grime place, which each sunday arrange these reggae/ragga/dancehall parties under the name of "Rub'a'Dub sundays" with the slogan "We fuck up your mondays"
Anybody got any crazy dancehall to upload? Not reggaeton, cause I hate that shit.. Ragga/Reggaeton is seriously the best party-music, and reggae is the best music to chill too.. the whole genre is just amazing.
Heres one of my favorite tracks:

Bob Marley and African Unity Monday, February 07 2005 @ 01:29 PM PSTContributed by: Oread DailyViews: 2,058 BOB MARLEY - Oread DailyA month long celebration of the legacy of Bob Marley is well underway in Ethiopia noting what would have been Marley’s 60th birthday. The celebration dubbed "Africa Unite" after one of Marley's songs, aims to raise funds to help poor families in Ethiopia Tsunami victims in Somalia. Musical and educational events will take place throughout the month. Similar events are taking place in other African countries.Organizers said they expected as many as 300,000 people to attend the free event. "I think it is incredible that so many years after brother Bob's death, he still inspires such an amazing show," said Yohannes, a Rastafarian, who only goes by a single name. Originally from Crystal Palace, London, he now lives in Addis Ababa and married to an Ethiopian. Marley's five sons, widow and former backup singers were expected to perform along with Benin music star Angelique Kidjo, Senegal's Youssou N'dour and Baaba Maal. Well-known Ethiopians artists were also set to perform. Ethiopia's evangelical churches on Saturday objected to the celebrations. The Ethiopian Orthodox Church, the country's main church, has, however, supported the celebrations. Sister Betty, a Rastafarian who works for the International Organization for Migration in Addis Ababa, said that she was proud the concert was happening in the city. "I just can't explain how much I love Bob, for everything, for whatever he is. I have much respect for his philosophy and message as a Rasta," said Betty. "His songs are all about 'Africa Unite' ... if there is no unity there will not be peace in Africa. Bob is a messenger, a spiritual messenger to many people." Speaking at a press conference held last week in connection with the celebration in Addis, Rita Marley said that the family had not yet decided the time when the reburial of remains of Bob Marley would take place in Addis Ababa. However, she said that the reburial would take place in due course (Jamaicans have reacted angrily to the plans to exhume the reggae legend's remains and rebury them in Ethiopia, an African country holy to Rastafarians, saying it would rob the Caribbean island of its national heritage).The Minster of State for Information, Netsanet Asfaw, said at the press conference, "We feel honored and privileged to host the celebration in Ethiopia because Bob was a great man who taught us that no matter how poor and deprived we are, we can be great." The Representative of UNICEF, Bjorn Liungqvist, said that the event will create ample opportunity to young people in Africa for discussing the future of their continent. The Africa Unite initiative is a series of commemorative events that will bring together artists, leaders, culture activists and organizations inspired by Bob Marley's music, philosophy and values. Thousands of tourists, dignitaries, academics, activists and international media are expected to attend the event.

SHABBA RANKS
THE TOUGHEST. THE HOTTEST RAGGA STAR. THE WILDEST. Simply the best.
No exaggeration. Shabba Ranks stands head and shoulders above the competition. Others may test his supremacy on the microphone over one record or two, but Shabba stands the test over the full course. He is the governor, the Don, the heretical ruler of ragga.
Real name Rexton Gordon, Shabba is Jamaica's number one DJ (reggae rapper). His gruff growl has graced a series of reggae hits over the past few years, at times more than one record a week, hits the reggae charts from him. For instance, one Christmas, he held four of the top six positions in the UK reggae singles chart. As if that wasn't enough, he was also number one in the Jamaican and New York charts at the same time! Most ragga DJs rise and fade quickly: Shabba never wears out his welcome. Why? Because he is the best.
http://www.greensleeves.net/pics/shabba.jpg
Shabba released his debut single in 1980 at the age of 15 under the name Co-Pilot, "Heat Under Sufferer's Feet", a record on a roots theme. It didn't sell, and Shabba retreated to the dancehalls to build a following from grass roots level. By the mid-eighties everyone in Jamaica was talking about this incredible talent who had a rhyme for every occasion and a put-down for every challenge. When he re-emerged on record in 1987 he was ready to take on all-comers and he quickly established a reputation as the upcoming DJ. A master of the instant put-down, he cut a multitude of hit singles throughout 1988 for the majority of the leading producers; King Jammy's, Bobby Digital, Black Scorpio, Dennis Star and Mixing Lab. Although his solo records were explosive, his work with other acts like Thriller U, Sanchez, Cocoa Tea, Dennis Brown and Gregory Isaacs - among others - boosted his profile far further than other rising chatters managed. DJ's and singers often joust in modern reggae and Shabba has taken advantage of the popularity of the genre to dazzling effect.
It took a while before anyone issued an album bearing his name, perhaps because he was so in-demand that no-one could pin him down for long enough to cut the requisite number of songs. Finally Jammy's took the plunge, slapping out an album 'Rough and Rugged', bearing half a dozen raps from Shabba and an equal measure from Chaka Demus, who, at first, seemed set to give Shabba a run for his money. Shabba had other ideas, his supremacy being universally declared when 'Who She Love', a single for Jammy's shared with Cocoa Tea and Home T, went to number one in the reggae charts in Jamaica, London, New York, Toronto and Miami in the winter of 1988-89, Although the other two participants were star acts, Shabba ruled the record and got the girl at the end of the tune! It was just the beginning.
http://www.greensleeves.net/pics/shabba2.jpg
His first solo LP, 'Best Baby Father' was released in October 1989, produced by Bobby Digital. One track, 'Wicked In Bed' sold well enough for the backing track to be made into 10 more versions and form an LP of the same title. Producer-arranger Mikey Bennett, who had worked with Shabba at Jammy's, brought him to Music Works, the studio that has ruled Jamaican reggae since 1988, and there producer Gussie Clarke put Shabba on some of the most important records of the era; the light-hearted 'Twice My Age' with Kristal, number one everywhere that reggae has a chart, and 'Pirate's Anthem', reuniting him with Cocoa Tea and Home T, the toughest reggae single of the year and number one in the British reggae charts. Debut UK shows were sell-outs in the winter of 1989-90 and Shabba was interviewed on BBC 2's Behind The Beat and started to gain mentions in the mainstream UK press. An album with Cocoa Tea and Home T, 'Holding On', produced by Gussie Clarke, emerged at the start of 1990 and inevitably hit number one.
In April 1990, Jammy's tidied up his Shabba Ranks back catalogue with 'Star Of The 90s', a compilation of hits for the Jammy's label. Predictably, it hit the top spot in New York and was the best selling reggae import album in the UK.
Mikey Bennett, perhaps a little tired of seeing others cut hits on Shabba, voiced an album with the DJ in London, Jamaica and New York, 'Golden Touch' - ten tracks of pure roughness that showcase Shabba's versatility and sheer energy. It went straight to No.1 in the reggae album charts in the first week of release, and was still at number one several weeks later.
Shabba's next album, 'Rappin With The ladies', was his first to be produced by Gussie Clarke at his ruling Music Works studio, and features duets with the cream of reggae's female singers - J.C.Lodge, Deborahe Glasgow, Rebel Princess, and the teenage Kristal. It includes his biggest hit so far this year [1991], 'Twice My Age', a new duet version with J.C.Lodge of the smash hit 'Telephone Love', and his latest single with Kristal 'Steady Man', released to coincide with his promotional tour in late September.
Although he's made over 50 singles in the past two years, Shabba's audience is still swelling and unlike most DJs his work just seems to get better with time. He really has the golden touch: the ragga ruler must, sooner or later, rule rap and the pop charts too.

President Bush Speaks at Goree Island in Senegal
Remarks by the President on Goree Island
Goree Island, Senegal
11:47 A.M. (Local)
THE PRESIDENT: Mr. President and Madam First Lady, distinguished guests and residents of Goree Island, citizens of Senegal, I'm honored to begin my visit to Africa in your beautiful country.
For hundreds of years on this island peoples of different continents met in fear and cruelty. Today we gather in respect and friendship, mindful of past wrongs and dedicated to the advance of human liberty.
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/relea...negal-250h.jpg At this place, liberty and life were stolen and sold. Human beings were delivered and sorted, and weighed, and branded with the marks of commercial enterprises, and loaded as cargo on a voyage without return. One of the largest migrations of history was also one of the greatest crimes of history.
Below the decks, the middle passage was a hot, narrow, sunless nightmare; weeks and months of confinement and abuse and confusion on a strange and lonely sea. Some refused to eat, preferring death to any future their captors might prepare for them. Some who were sick were thrown over the side. Some rose up in violent rebellion, delivering the closest thing to justice on a slave ship. Many acts of defiance and bravery are recorded. Countless others, we will never know.
Those who lived to see land again were displayed, examined, and sold at auctions across nations in the Western Hemisphere. They entered societies indifferent to their anguish and made prosperous by their unpaid labor. There was a time in my country's history when one in every seven human beings was the property of another. In law, they were regarded only as articles of commerce, having no right to travel, or to marry, or to own possessions. Because families were often separated, many denied even the comfort of suffering together.
For 250 years the captives endured an assault on their culture and their dignity. The spirit of Africans in America did not break. Yet the spirit of their captors was corrupted. Small men took on the powers and airs of tyrants and masters. Years of unpunished brutality and bullying and rape produced a dullness and hardness of conscience. Christian men and women became blind to the clearest commands of their faith and added hypocrisy to injustice. A republic founded on equality for all became a prison for millions. And yet in the words of the African proverb, "no fist is big enough to hide the sky." All the generations of oppression under the laws of man could not crush the hope of freedom and defeat the purposes of God.
In America, enslaved Africans learned the story of the exodus from Egypt and set their own hearts on a promised land of freedom. Enslaved Africans discovered a suffering Savior and found he was more like themselves than their masters. Enslaved Africans heard the ringing promises of the Declaration of Independence and asked the self-evident question, then why not me?
In the year of America's founding, a man named Olaudah Equiano was taken in bondage to the New World. He witnessed all of slavery's cruelties, the ruthless and the petty. He also saw beyond the slave-holding piety of the time to a higher standard of humanity. "God tells us," wrote Equiano, "that the oppressor and the oppressed are both in His hands. And if these are not the poor, the broken-hearted, the blind, the captive, the bruised which our Savior speaks of, who are they?"
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/relea...negal-250h.jpg Down through the years, African Americans have upheld the ideals of America by exposing laws and habits contradicting those ideals. The rights of African Americans were not the gift of those in authority. Those rights were granted by the Author of Life, and regained by the persistence and courage of African Americans, themselves.
Among those Americans was Phyllis Wheatley, who was dragged from her home here in West Africa in 1761, at the age of seven. In my country, she became a poet, and the first noted black author in our nation's history. Phyllis Wheatley said, "In every human breast, God has implanted a principle which we call love of freedom. It is impatient of oppression and pants for deliverance."
That deliverance was demanded by escaped slaves named Frederick Douglas and Sojourner Truth, educators named Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. DuBois, and ministers of the Gospel named Leon Sullivan and Martin Luther King, Jr. At every turn, the struggle for equality was resisted by many of the powerful. And some have said we should not judge their failures by the standards of a later time. Yet, in every time, there were men and women who clearly saw this sin and called it by name.
We can fairly judge the past by the standards of President John Adams, who called slavery "an evil of callosal magnitude." We can discern eternal standards in the deeds of William Wilberforce and John Quincy Adams, and Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Abraham Lincoln. These men and women, black and white, burned with a zeal for freedom, and they left behind a different and better nation. Their moral vision caused Americans to examine our hearts, to correct our Constitution, and to teach our children the dignity and equality of every person of every race. By a plan known only to Providence, the stolen sons and daughters of Africa helped to awaken the conscience of America. The very people traded into slavery helped to set America free.
My nation's journey toward justice has not been easy and it is not over. The racial bigotry fed by slavery did not end with slavery or with segregation. And many of the issues that still trouble America have roots in the bitter experience of other times. But however long the journey, our destination is set: liberty and justice for all.
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/relea...negal-250h.jpg In the struggle of the centuries, America learned that freedom is not the possession of one race. We know with equal certainty that freedom is not the possession of one nation. This belief in the natural rights of man, this conviction that justice should reach wherever the sun passes leads America into the world.
With the power and resources given to us, the United States seeks to bring peace where there is conflict, hope where there is suffering, and liberty where there is tyranny. And these commitments bring me and other distinguished leaders of my government across the Atlantic to Africa.
African peoples are now writing your own story of liberty. Africans have overcome the arrogance of colonial powers, overturned the cruelties of apartheid, and made it clear that dictatorship is not the future of any nation on this continent. In the process, Africa has produced heroes of liberation -- leaders like Mandela, Senghor, Nkrumah, Kenyatta, Selassie and Sadat. And many visionary African leaders, such as my friend, have grasped the power of economic and political freedom to lift whole nations and put forth bold plans for Africa's development.
Because Africans and Americans share a belief in the values of liberty and dignity, we must share in the labor of advancing those values. In a time of growing commerce across the globe, we will ensure that the nations of Africa are full partners in the trade and prosperity of the world. Against the waste and violence of civil war, we will stand together for peace. Against the merciless terrorists who threaten every nation, we will wage an unrelenting campaign of justice. Confronted with desperate hunger, we will answer with human compassion and the tools of human technology. In the face of spreading disease, we will join with you in turning the tide against AIDS in Africa.
We know that these challenges can be overcome, because history moves in the direction of justice. The evils of slavery were accepted and unchanged for centuries. Yet, eventually, the human heart would not abide them. There is a voice of conscience and hope in every man and woman that will not be silenced -- what Martin Luther King called a certain kind of fire that no water could put out. That flame could not be extinguished at the Birmingham jail. It could not be stamped out at Robben Island Prison. It was seen in the darkness here at Goree Island, where no chain could bind the soul. This untamed fire of justice continues to burn in the affairs of man, and it lights the way before us.
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/relea...negal-250h.jpg May God bless you all. (Applause.)
