uk reggae and uk bubblers

[sean]

of course there was philip levi, peter king, rusty, sandy, and more. no such sounds now, just talk of murders and gold rings

[sean]

and the above is what most reggae is seemingly becoming, i cant listen to capleton due to the incessant roaring of the lyrics, its not for me

[sean]

anyone recall peter king, with a fine track known as me neat me sweet, or papa benjie, with his great disc called fare dodger??

Now someone out there must know WHO was papa levi deriding on 84TION.. when he said
"theres only one mc with whom i have some aggravation
reminds me of the creeps who run the group IMAGINATION
he should give up the mike
and he should stick to masturbation"
At the time i felt he was chatting about Smiley..but Smiley i thought , was excellent.

Levi had an ongoing feud with Leslie Lyrics,documented on the live at DSYC LP'S part 2 and 3.

He was also involved in the biggest MC clash of the time with Daddy Willy of Young Lion,this was in 84 held in High Wycombe.Anyone that was there would never forget Willie gave Levi a good run for his money.

Spot on Donstrumental Levi slags off Leslie lyrics mercilessly for several minutes in Saxon -v- Ghettotone which was a clash at Lewisham Boys Club around 84/85.

There was a great bit at the end of the session where a crowd vote was taken between Phillip Levi & Leslie Lyrics. Levi won and was presented with the trophy and £100 cash by the promoter/producer.
