its been years since i last heard it , but what artist did the following , main lyrics go 'this is reggae music, do not abuse it....'
thanks

or is 'strictly reggae music, you can not refuse it.....'

im getting in a tiss trying to work out/ remember who did this

Maybe you're thinking of "Strictly Rub a Dub"

http://www.roots-archives.com/release/3473

My guess would be
Echo minott - sweet reggae music
Earl sixteen - reggae sound

'sweet reggae music, you can never refuse it.....'
is also from Sweet Reggae Music by papa tullo : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bkhrIYv ... re=related

I love both cuts of the riddim by Sly&Robbie
hope it'll helps.

these 2 tracks have been in my head since 88/89, i need to find them before i go insane, lol. please help someone

I am quite certain that the second track you are seeking is Jimmy Riley's "Reggae Music". It's on a Blue Mountain LP that was released mid-80's with backing by The Wailers. It's a nice set worth seeking.
