No it did not......this song was made about 5 years after the first recorded rap reccod. So stop the foolishness of given false credit. You need to the original speed rapping of the Treacherous Three rap group in 1979. th-cam.com/video/ppdQMWKQ2ok/w-d-xo.html
HOLY SMOKES! For 1984?? ...this type of fast rap flow and delivery mid-song was wayyy before it's time! I'm speechless after hearing, very REAL and FELT lyrical content. BIG TUNE right here! RASPECK.
This is a textbook dancehall tune that is 2nd to none. Lyrically, it has roots, culture, gospel & politics that rhymes from start to finish. No Bounty, Beenie, Papa San, or Stitchie song can touch this tune.
The most impressive thing about this song apart from concious lyrics is the fact that in the entire second verse, or the entire song for that matter he hasn't taken a breath he just kept on going.
The crackle in the background
Is pure nostalgia ❤
This type of reggae gave birth to hip hop. So please give it its props it’s only the right thing to do.. “back off and let the breeze cool me off”

Sly and robbie had bugger all to do with this
THIS is a London recording
Taxi Gang?
Wipe that lie
Its not a big deal obviously sly and robbie processed the release in Jamaica and used their stock labels not unusual in Jamaica.
Think this isn’t the original version that I bought - there was some echo pon the lyrics “echo chamber” - still large and massive…
