you have a few valid points, west. i totally agree that its mostly about selling a good image today, its getting more superficial than ever before, and the artistic expression, originality, musicality and vitality is lacking in all of this. the industry has turned, whatever there is left of it soon
i don't agree that it was all rasta to be good, you had a lot of non-rasta music which was quality throughout
its a real shame. but hopefully things go in cycles

well Ites, "Real Reggae for me is sounds from the soul of the player. effort, consistency, naturality, teamwork, real original instrumental sounds not artficial flatness. the sounds blowing out from speakers on a good set. that's Real reggae to me.

yes dubswest..reggae these days is mainly image, ludicrous trammelled haircuts, baggy white trousers that you could fit 2 men inside each leg of, chatting about sex, violence and running murder gangs in Jamaica. No wonder many people think reggae is gangster music.

Spot on, absolutely correct. That's what is missing - the skill of musicians and sound of real instruments.
A while back I went to a gig where they had a real drummer and I was close to the kit. The sound of the sticks hitting the skins is unique. No sample can ever have that feel.
I also own, and like, some digital reggae, mainly the brilliant Music Works stuff of the late 80s. There's plenty of skill in there but it just don't sound the same as REAL drum and bass.
As for Rap and Hip-Hop, that wretched mongrel child of reggae Dancehall and DJ style, you can shove that awful tuneless shouting right up the rapper's backsides. But you probably won't fit it in as they are all so far up their own backsides already there's no space left.
