Who Really are the Greatest Top 10 DJ of all time?

[Pug]

I don't have a top ten list per say, but I don't see Colour Man on any of these lists. He's gotta be one of the most versatile DJ's I've ever heard.

[Zionist]

U-Roy
I-Roy
Prince Far I
Big Youth
Trinity
Dillinger
Scotty
Jazzbo
Nicodemus
Burro Banton

Nice to see someone has some perspective here. I love the foundation, but the new school definitely has some talent. To me, to deny that is ignorance even if you don't like the digital music. The djs still a progress. ( I would have put ninja in the list too, though). Though I'd say this is in terms of recording. Lately live they can't seem to string more than one line together at a time.

I second your point Flashman... Kartel is tough, but Beenieman won't feature anywhere in my top 50.

I had Colourman on my list but cut him and another deejay when having to narrow down the list to 10 deejays from 12. If he had been more prolific I guess he would had been a certain top 10 for me. As you say - a very versatile chatter with intelligent and fun lyrics.

Been trying to hunt him down for an interview for some time now. I got his e-mail but he doesn't respond so I'm uncertain if he checks it or if he simply is uninterested.
