Yes rastas the iniquity workers have been caught,respect to the officers for hunting down these criminals especially in the enormous townships around Johannesburg where it is quite difficult to find any leads to this case,in a city unfortunately long time been reffered to as gangster`s paradise.Condolences out to Dube`s family and rest in peace rasta will never forget.


Jah bless and guide,

Rastaman from Westville South,Durban City(South Africa)

Thats was terrible.I seen Dube a few years back at a free outdoor show and it was quite amazing.Think i need to buy one of his lp,any reccomendations?


Kinda off topic but thinking about funerals ,i recently read in a archive on the net Joseph Hills funeral was 3/4 empty,not many showed up.Seems strange to me.

just seen what are his best albulms quote....still i would like to hear specific reccomndations for a lp that would be a great living memory of the man.Thanks and peace to the Dube family.

Bill,
I put up the list. If I was only going to buy one LP, I would make it the Captured Live disc, you can really feel his energy and enthusiasm!

Yes i am familiar with the saying.Still i seen Cxsones funeral full of natty and regular ppl,and i still have to wonder why Hills funeral was so empty.

Thxs for the lp tip,will search it out.

Yeah, i've listen to him my whole life and I own all of his music, from 1984 to 2006.
all of the albums are Killers man.
here are some albums and my favarite songs check'em out man.

Trinity- Serious reggae Business, Big boys don't cry, my brother my enemy, affirmative action.

House of Exile- Up with hope down with dope, hold on, mickey mouse freedom, groups areas.

The way it( Dube did it all by himself)- the way it is- Till you loose it all, rolling stone, man in the mirror.

Victims- my world, know where to find me, victim.

Other Side, family ties, the other side,

Soul taker- Teach the world, freedom, sin of the flesh.

Taxman- mirror mirror, release me, take it jah, want to know what love is.

Prisoner- eyes of the beholders, on my own, women.

Think about the children.

Slave- Let jah be praised,

Captured Live- great Concert compil.
Ive lived his music my whole life. I cannot say anything yet about this moral misery that wiped away the live of another black hero.

One of the best Reggae Artist in the world.
A fantastic man is gone,but we all will never forget him, and he lives in his songs and his music, Rest in Peace Lucky Dube
