A Weapon of Mass Destruction. This song shook the pillars of Apartheid in Azania 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦 especially in Cape Town. This is one of the best 12" singles. Best Riddim, Conscious lyrics and a Dangerous version. 🎼🎤🎹🥁🎻🎸.
This is music to make you jump & twist, with the Jamaican greats playing a very exclusive part of this powerful and outstanding track Rastafar I symbolic classic. When Jamdown music ruled the universal world. What as happen now to that incredibility Only Jah know
Thank God for Jamaica...it is awe inspiring that so much of the best most timeless and powerful music ever made comes from the amazing people on this 1 small island...thank you, deep gratitude to everyone involved in making this music & sharing it with the world, it is truly an essential weapon for defeating the enemy and keeping up our morale as we battle spiritually here on earth...one love, joy love peace
So smooth ! I eat everything on my Dub Plate ! And then lick it clean ! Thanks for unearthing this and broadcasting into cyberspace to live for ever in the ears of future generations !
This has to be one of the top songs ever to come out of Jamaica by some of the top artists of the time. It still stands relevant till this day and still sounds as good as it ever did.

This is by far the most difficult roots lyrics transcription project I have undertaken to date. Toasters rap very first and they are difficult to keep up with. It is even more difficult when you are dealing with two toasters and three singers. Five Man Army is one of the great Dillinger’s most ambitious projects to date. Spanning artists from two generations (measured by activity timeline) Five Man Army features Dillinger and his great friend Trinity (two first generation roots toasters) as well as second generation singers: Al Campbell, Wayne Wade and Junior Tamlin. The challenge was on two different levels. First level is deciphering and transcribing. Second level is attributing. The toasters Dillinger and Trinity sound almost alike. The singers Al Campbell and Wayne Wade also sound almost alike. Junior Tamlin’s voice lies somewhere in between. Attribution was quite difficult. You must have a keen ear. Note: I do not own the rights to these lyrics and any errors of transcription are entirely mine. As an aside I suspect that Dillinger (b. Lester Bullock) was really the producer of this great work and that “Lewin Bones Lock” is merely his alias for trying out his hands at musical production. Great piece of art. - Chu Konwea
Commendable and certainly painful work. I applaud you. But as a pointer, Trinity & Wayne including Dillinger are second generation toasters not First. That distinction goes to U-Roy,Al Capone (late 60s onwards),I-Roy and Big Youth....
Thanks bredrins for the commendations. @Lawrence Njawe. Assuredly U-Roy, Dennis Alcapone and Big Youth were the pioneers. But I deliberately lump Dillinger, Trinity and Jah Stitch as the junior members of that first generation, with I-Roy somewhere in between those two groups, because of their stylistic similarities. By 1975 Dillinger was already very big. Don't forget too that those pioneers were initially sound system deejays for a large part of their early careers as was I-Roy. Dillinger and Trinity started as full-fledged recording artistes. Blessings.

Excuse my Scottish pedantry but Seventh-day Adventist should have capital letters because it is the title of a Church of the Synagogue of Satan. Bless Chu. A nice little work of transcription. Here is our attempt at the lyrics of a English artist named Lady Lex: m.th-cam.com/video/SM1Ehq_tVeo/w-d-xo.html
Wow lucky! He really was something special, in a league of his own. This was a man who put just as much love and passion in his music, as he did in his real life day to day. And he really lived the life he sung about...i remember listening to a producer talk about d. Brown, n he was saying how he'd record a hit track, and when he'd get paid he'd take it back tp his home town and distribute the prosperity to his community and family. There aren't too many genuine people like that out in the world anymore...😥
@@zacharystefano8490 the prince of reggae listen to D. brown little green apples lovely song also bob Marley pimpers paradise.. And J byels curly locks.
Wow I saw one of his last shows in nyc he didn’t get on stage till 230 am lol some people had already left I’m so glad I stayed ! Irving plaza 😂 rip Dennis ❤❤❤

Big Tune
Shrooms and ganja with this tune, I became the bass.
only ganja man, shrooms on long term destroys your brain.
Cannabis creates neuro-genesis , therefore , it's the god given combination .
Speaking of methodic baselines. Try Ashanti Roy and Prince Far I with a tune called '83 Struggle. Its completely full of infinite bass medicine 💊!!!
Templul Cannabisului Shrooms are not to be taken daily unless micro dosing like 0.1g per day. Big shrooms doses are only done when they call you. I’ve down shrooms trips as large as 12g and they don’t destroy the brain. They open perception.
LHP III Thanks for this.
Teach them Rasta!!
I smoked the ganja and ran 10k listening to this on repeat
Hoorah for you.
Look up echo minott man in love,wicked version
The first time this tune played in the UK was a Special by Sir Coxsone at Allardyce Hall in Brixton it mash up the place👊🏿💥💥💥💥💥😎
Would have loved to have been there ! I could only imagine ! After Covid concaves this will be Booming again through tall sound systems ! Headphones will have to suffice for the time being ! Watching the ⏰

By 1975 Dillinger was already very big. Don't forget too that those pioneers were initially sound system deejays for a large part of their early careers as was I-Roy. Dillinger and Trinity started as full-fledged recording artistes. Blessings.

The Lord God Jah Rastafari say on the last day no mercy for the merciless, Oh God bless the less.” “And God created the world in seven days then rested on the sabbath day. But which day is the sabbath day? Some of dem a talk ‘bout the Seventh-day Adventist, but to me dem look like apprentice. Some of dem are talk ‘bout _ _ _ _gibberish_ _ _ _come to play a funny trick” “Go There.” “In my Father’s house there are many mansions. Yeah. So little children come on in. Hmmm.

You can’t live in a Babylon, you might be living in sin. Rock on coming in a Zion, rock on come in my friend. You can’t be living in a Babylon and be my good friend. No way Sir. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.” “So I call on you Oh Jah to take…” “Yeah Papa Brown,” “Ites Godson” “The man who give thanks and praise unto Jah.” “Are you mean, every second, every minute, every hour on the hour.” “Jah!” “Rastafari!!” “Yeah. Jah King of Kings, and Jah Lord of Lords, the Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah, I-lect of God, ever-living God, Earth rightful ruler” “Jay”, “Earth rightful ruler “ “Jay. “ “So, what is to be must be. So, what is to be must be. But Jah said unto Jonah. Go down into the village and tell those people of the destruction that is to come I would say. And Jonah didn’t obey. And Jonah was swallowed by a whale I would tell you. And Jah punished Jonah I would say. Yeah. Tell you that great stone have to move” “True.” Tell you that great stone have to move” “True.” “Great stone have to move” “True.” “Tell you that great stone have to move.” ”Jah!” “King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah” “Rastafari!” “I-lect of God, ever-living God, earth rightful ruler. Earth rightful ruler.” “True.” ”Jah!” “Rastafari!!” “Ever-living, ever faithful, ever sure, once more.” ”Jah!” ”Rastafari!!” “Without any apology I would say.” ”Jah!, Jah! Jah!” “Jah ever-living, ever-faithful, ever-sure I would tell you, and so we got to really walk, and then we got to really talk, and we got to really chant and we got to sing about that. Jah! Jah! is the King of Kings and Jah! Jah! is the Lord of Lords and Jah! Jah! is the Conquering Lion and Jah! Jah! is of the Tribe of Judah. And who don’t know it have to know it by now or he’s ain’t gonna get around to know it because there will be no next time around I will tell you” “Do It” “Jah!” ”and I will tell you that” “Rastafari!!” ”Jah Jah is the King of Kings, Jah Jah is the Lord of Lords.” “Jay” “Without any apology, I say it once and I say it twice. And if I feel like say it again I will say it thrice as I would tell you ‘bout the song that you like it on the chart for the very last time. Alright….. And Jah do it thy work thyself.” “Jah!”. “And when Jah come to judge,” “Rastafari!” ”Jah don’t partial. Jah judge down onto the judge that judge it. Jah judge onto judge that judge it. So will Jah do it. Jah do thy work thyself. Jah Jah do thy work thyself. Yeah. And you can have the whole world but give unto I Jah. You can have the whole wide world. You can have the whole wide world but give me Jah Jah. You can have the whole wide world but give me Jah Jah. Truth by Jah is all I really need? And I really need it I would say. You can really have the whole wide world. Really have the whole wide world. But Jah loveth thy son. And Jah loveth thy daughters. And Jah loveth thy fathers and thy mothers and thy sisters and thy brothers and all thy family. And Jah give it out unto himself as sacrifice. So give thanks and praise unto Jah.” “Jay.” “So, give thanks and praise unto Jah.” “Jah!” “Rastafari!!” “Really work and chant Jah Jah name. You got to work and chant Jah Jah name. You got to work and chant Jah Jah name. Chant Jah Jah name and don’t feel ashamed. Cause you got no one to blame,” “Jay” “when you call upon Jah name. Come make we call upon Jah name. Come make we call upon Jah. Jah Rastafari!” ”Selassie I (Sela Say I) All aba hai”. Tell you that great stone have to move. Tell you that great stone have to move. Whether by a chapter even by a call, whether by a chapter even by a call that great stone have to move. It really have to move.” ”Jah!” “Rastafari!!”
A brief Interlude is followed by the Dub Version.
The root toasters art. This is by far the most difficult roots lyrics transcription project I have undertaken to date. Toasters rap very fast and they are difficult to keep up with. It is even more difficult when you are dealing with two toasters and three singers. Five Man Army is one of the great Dillinger’s most ambitious projects to date. Spanning artists from two generations (measured by activity timeline) Five Man Army features Dillinger and his great friend Trinity (two first generation roots toasters) as well as second generation singers: Al Campbell, Wayne Wade and Junior Tamlin. The challenge was on two different levels. First level is deciphering and transcribing. Second level is attributing. The toasters Dillinger and Trinity sound almost alike. The singers Al Campbell and Wayne Wade also sound almost alike. Junior Tamlin’s voice lies somewhere in between, sometimes high other times low and raspy. Attribution was quite difficult. You must have a keen ear. Note: I do not own the rights to these lyrics and any errors of transcription are entirely mine. As an aside I suspect that Dillinger (b. Lester Bullock) was really the producer of this great work and that “Lewin Bones Lock” of who there is very little trace in roots annals, is merely his alias for trying out his hands at musical production. Great piece of art. A classic by any measure. - Chu Konwea
Excuse my Scottish pedantry but Seventh-day Adventist should have capital letters because it is the title of a Church of the Synagogue of Satan.
Bless Chu. A nice little work of transcription. Here is our attempt at the lyrics of a English artist named Lady Lex:

@James MacBryde. You are correct my bredrin. Accept my apologies for the slip-up. Seventh-day Adventist. Noted.
Remember going to dalston records shops in the 80s met Dennis brown at the studio in hackney
Wow lucky! He really was something special, in a league of his own. This was a man who put just as much love and passion in his music, as he did in his real life day to day. And he really lived the life he sung about...i remember listening to a producer talk about d. Brown, n he was saying how he'd record a hit track, and when he'd get paid he'd take it back tp his home town and distribute the prosperity to his community and family. There aren't too many genuine people like that out in the world anymore...😥
