Ites!

Tichion = Politician

@ACEtone - "Uptown Babies" is (IMO) a beautiful song and one of my favourites...

@Rob-Strictly Rockers (way back when- in case you never got the answer) - Vosene is/was a brand of shampoo. Maybe a new subject for RA but there's been a few off topic discussions over the years!

@Jah Titus, with all respect, I disagree - listening to the Tichion track again. i really do think he means Attrition.
That is what he is describing. the song doesn't make sense if he means politician. Listen again...

yeah man, fi sure mi know it mek sense "attrition with amunition"

mi was referring to Tichion as slang word derived from (poli)***tician***

in any case, thematic is tribal war among politrickal gangs

Thanks Jesco,

If it is Vosene (which it does sound like) how does it fit in to the PNP policies? Was there a special need for medicated shampoo in JA around 76?

Regards

Rob

talking about the 'tax man',, there is a wikkid tune called **Tax Man by Anthony B.** on the Fire Stick Riddim.

...a woman sell a pound a rice, u wan't tax over dat, oh prime minister a one dollar dat/you wipe car dem wan tax you... [highly recommended!! seek it.]

edit: to some words on d lyrics.

Rob - I could be getting onto dodgy ground here but I was assuming shampoo to be another Babylonian product like combs, razors etc...
