As a Haitian man wen he said don’t bow Haiti we are standing with you brought me to tears
As a Haitian, I felt that one as well. L’Union Fait La Force 💯✊🏾💪🏾 🇭🇹
ME TOO BRO. I HAVE A SONG TITLED “DON’T CRY FOR ME HAITI” COMING OUT SOON
As a Jamaican I feel the same way Buju Feels 🇯🇲🇭🇹
As another Jamaican real ones stand with y’all ✊🏾
The connection is the Maroons of Jamaica and Haiti black unity i hope the right people see this
The way Jamaicans use to sing about the liberation and uplifting of Africa, when I was a kid growing up in Africa I used to think Jamaica was a country in Africa, until I grew up and learn geography I learn it’s in the Caribbean. Much respect to Jamaica ✊🏾
they have lots of self hatred there. its all smoke and mirrors. till this day they never fought and won true independence but instead they sol their land to Britain and china.
Respect
Respect 🇯🇲
Respect & blessings! 🇯🇲
Blessings
As a Haitian man…when he spoke bout Haiti ain’t gon lie it brought me to tears.
Respect my brother 👊🏽
I got goosebumps 😭 🇯🇲❤🇭🇹
I am African American and it brought me to tears. I love my skin folk in Haiti. God bless you from the deepest parts of my heart.
Big up to the diaspora 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾
It bout me to tears to 😢
Salute ... 🇯🇲 ❤ 🇭🇹
Love from Jamaica 🇯🇲 to all Haitian 🇭🇹 people. A new beginning is coming, some will be rewarded, and some will be punished. Hold the faith
This is the closest we're going to get to a Bob Marley conscious interview. Just gems after gems after gems. Big up yuself Mr. Buju Banton. 🇯🇲👑🙏🏽
Go see an Interview of Vaughn Benjamin from the legendary band called midnite . Not taking away anything from this .
Dont know who is that @@Mannyroots7
You’re crazy, you need to listen to sizzler, you don’t know Jamaica
You now have interviews with reggae artistes to watch.
Buju is both a humble student and teacher of the culture at the same time.
💯👌❤️
Blessings forever, beautiful GOD loves you forever, and Jesus loves you too forever. Teach everyone you know and don't know 😊
He also has the rebel spirit from Africa
Exactly
@@N0f3r716 no he doesn't
This episode is not drink champs, it’s knowledge champs! Bless up Buju Banton!
Bring elephant 🐘 man on next

SHABBA RANKS.
Mi ah tell you
Yooo.. real talk.. I've been saying facts the whole interview
As a Jamaican, I never knew I'd ever see Buju on Drink Champs! Big up Gargamel!
It's such a surreal thing.... Worth every second of watching
Drinking water and smoking herbs 😂😂😂
As a Jamaican Drink Champs is nothing special
Real talk
Real talk. I love Jamaican music. Now they gotta get Supercat & Bounty Killer on Drinks Champ
Buju is well read, confident, and super intelligent w/ a level of seriousness / consciousness about himself.
The fact that i have not seen one negative comment brings me so much joy. Im so happy to be Jamaican who loves Africa. Im rooting for all of us
We are the same african and jamaican I'm from Africa leaving in Pennsylvania
I would like to marry a jamaican woman but they not living around me here in Pennsylvania
Big up to u luv! From NY 💪🏾

When he told 🇭🇹 do not to bow keep fighting, I am not even a haitian, but I felt that...
That's igbos spirit we don't bow
💯💪🏿💪🏿🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹
Since he says it, everyone now could realize that we're Haitian never stop fighting even though there's Judas around us. Big up Buju!
"Music is never disposable. The artists are disposable."
Word!
Great point
Word
😮💨
Knowledge..
When Buju said, next time gimme some flowers to plant so they can grow made me laugh hysterically. As a Nigerian and west African, I'm so proud to say Jamaicans are our direct "distant relatives" considering how our ancestors were sold as slaves to the Carribean islands. Nuff respect Buju for this impactful and knowledgeable interview and i grew up on uplifting music like yours, Bob Marley, Peter Touch, Krs One, Dead Prez etc...
Dig deep and read WHERE they were shipped from….Not Africa I’ll tell you that
@@21Notabot Where frm then ??
Buju banton is not just a musician.
He inspire by Jah almighty.
To teach and educate. The people who is not privileged to understand the real balance of the dynamics of life and its entirety .
Real intellectual legend
Blessings forever, beautiful GOD loves you forever, and Jesus loves you too forever. Teach everyone you know and don't know
It’s not Buju. It’s Rastafari. Buju is the finger pointing to the moon on some Bruce Lee energies
God is a myth
@@ChargersCitywake up there is no god , it’s all your imagination
Y'all disbelievers need to shut your mouths. There is ONE Creator. The Holy One of Israel. ELOHIM of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob or Yacob. Father of the real twelve tribes of Israel. Including the tribe of JUDAH/YAHUDAH. He is NOT a trinity. Go read Isaiah 43:10,11 and Deuteronomy 28:1-68. HalleluYAH. So-called Black people need to REPENT. AND START TO KEEP THE LAWS OF THE TORAH. BIBLICAL CURSES AND BLOODLINE DOES NOT LIE. Selah 🤎🖤🌍
With the outmost respect, I paused for a moment, just to mentally acknowledged how profound and knowledgeable Buju is. This man is beyond intelligent! He had a captivating way of telling “Untold Stories”.
My sentiments exactly
Great album “Untold Stories”
Fax
Also proud of him for getting his masters in business management (music). He knows how to get around all the crooks in the business.
I agree, it’s amazing what a free heart and mind can do. 🙏🏾
Every Jamaicans gather here, this interview is legendary it will be the biggest DRINK CHAMPS interview 🔥🔥🔥😂😂😂🇨🇦🇬🇧🇺🇸🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💯💯💯

As a Jamaican in Kingston we don’t appreciate him enough! We see him on the streets, driving, doing his thing and don’t realize how profound he is! Respect Buju!!!
I flew to Jamaica for the Concert at the National Stadium. Best money I ever spent
Facts! What an experience.
Buju said..." u can't become something your not. .bcuz ur gonna go back to being who you were." Barz
Exactly 💯Like Marcus Garvey said The man who do not know their own culture it's like a tree without roots.
growing up in Trinidad, i had the pleasure and honor of seeing Buju live on stage many times. Seeing him here healthy and alive warms my soul. long Live Gargamel.
Same here, buju is unique

Love the fact that he mentioned "Lucky Dube" as one of the greatest musicians from Africa ❤❤❤🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Of course! I am disappointed he is not as popular outside Africa. In Nigeria he is a god.
Lucky dube legend 💯🙏🏽
We appreciate Lucky Dube's music in Jamaica. He has voice that you can feel. For years, I thought he was Jamaican.
@Prince_of_Winterfell I thought he was more popular outside of Africa
Who watched this and went straight to buju album to listen....be strong hold a firm meditation, one day things must get better ❤❤❤❤❤
One of my favorite.
@@Shysta30everyone actually can relate.
Big tune
I grew up listening buju my favorite is destiny and I know the east is the best propaganda they spread tongues will have to confess" .. that His imperial Majesty Haile sellasie is God in the flesh that sat on the throne of David and Solomon. The True God of zion
As u remind me of that track, I'm going straight back to that after this ❤ Love
This is so fuxkinggggg EPICCCC. I ain't never heard Buju talk this long his whole career. Thank you Drink Champs!!!!!
real talk
Mannnn
He was spot on 🙌🏿
He was on the exact same vibe when he did the breakfast club during the pandemic! Love him down
I said the same thing lol
Nobody was ready for how profound this interview was going to be. What a man!!
Trust and believe, i clicked it because i knew this is what it would be!
Was I the only one who watched the whole thing and paused when I had to leave the screen. This was addicting like Soap Opera 😂❣️🔥🇯🇲
By far the most fulfilling 2 hours of black entertainment ever produced. Wonderful to see Buju giving God praise and recognize that we all are servants of the most high. Stay blessed my brother.
Man ! BUJU SPEAKS WITH POWER , AND FUNNY AT THE SAME TIME 😅😂
Godly elements
Blessings forever, beautiful GOD loves you forever, and Jesus loves you too forever. Teach everyone you know and don't know

"Haiti Do Not Bow, Haiti Keep Standing Up, We are Standing With You!"
This man is very captivating. No matter the fame and how many U.S visas he was granted he is still true and proud of his Jamaican heritage culture and accent.
He is true to himself and didn't feel the need to become a thing that he is not.
This is a proof of strong personality and identity.
Nore was not ready for this interview. Buju blew his mind. It was deep and knowledgeable
He surely did not fully prepare himself or research before the interview.
Indeed.
Cause Dem tink Dem know dancehall/reggae.....a just listen Dem listen it....naav a clue! Bout nuttn! 🥴
Bless Nore x no level of preparation could’ve prepared him for this interview. He is a good interviewer but Buju is a different level spiritually and intellectually 💫
Straight
Coming from Kenya. So fascinated how Buju is in tune with the current happenings. In Buju’s words “The voice of the people is the voice of God”. 🇰🇪Man’s a living legend!!

My parents are from Jamaica. My sister and I were not born in Jamaica. However, my father made it his duty to take us to Jamaica every summer. We had and always have a great time. Love my Jamaican people and culture.
I went every summer with my cousins. I am definitely taking my kids next year to see their roots
I'm from st lucia 🇱🇨 based in the US and I take my kids every year. Have to know your roots and culture
Sounds expensive, son of Jamaican immigrants here and they sent me and my brother. back every other summer to ja from 8 y/ o to about 15. Went many times as a baby up to 5. I just got bac from my cousins wedding in ja. . It’s still a mess because of the hurricane. But they are getting it back together. God bless Jamaica🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

Man I can imagine the experience of conversing listening to Buju talking for hours. His wisdom and humour is amazing.
I love this guy.❤
You never meet any Rasta without wisdom. Trust me they make you feel they drunkards or just waste men. But when u listen to them talk, they serve you wisdom like how our ancestors speaks in adage or wisdom. I think they do a great job when grooming the young into rastafari movement. You don't dine with elders with your hands dirty.
@@taproot111BUJU IS NOT A REAL RASTA FIRST OF ALL😂
It would be AWESOME! I listen to Buju daily man💯💯
@@barringtonedwards7008 wow how do you define a Rasta mate? Hope you know Rastafari ain't a religion cult? It's like a culture and a way of life. So do define it or research b4 you jump on the bus
This is one of the realest interviews on any platform across social media. Buju is indeed a legend among legends. Raspect and Honors!
Some how Kanye will get more views
@@monsieurguru9901 I was thinking the same thing. The consumers of this type of content are so dumbed down, that if it ain't something scandalous or some wild shit, they can't consume it. Never mind the attention span issue. That man was dropping gems that nore couldn't even reply to and alot of rappers would want to say but they can't. They had better stay in their lane collect a check and play nice or else massa will snatch the bling they cherish so much and blackball them.
Once, I tried to use "BUJU 🇯🇲 BANTON" as my password 💻🔐, but it said: "Too Strong"💪🏽
Lol
Really. That is crazy and funny. It was too strong. You funny
🤣🤣🤣
🔥💪🏾🔥💪🏾🔥
I like that 😂. It should of said “this password is too real”
I want the young artist to take note, it’s not only knows how to write music , how to dance , you need to know your culture,your roots,your history to educate the new next generation like the King Buju Banton .
The greatest interview ever
So proud of you .🇯🇲🇭🇹❤❤❤❤
As a Jamaican, 🇯🇲 I have NEVER heard Buju done an interview, such a proud moment, an intelligent, and knowledgeable king, BIG UP Drink Champs..
Oh my gosh he has done quite a few over the years.
Very proud
This interview should be played in all high schools and colleges and barber shops across the country to motivate our youth in a positive way
It sounds like you understand the assignment and should spearhead a program.
Beautiful idea hit him up
BIG UP TO ALL MY HAITIAN 🇭🇹 BROTHER'S AND SISTER'S WE JAMAICAN'S STAND WITH YOU ✊🏾🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲 ✊🏾

Haiti 🇭🇹 ❤Jamaica 🇯🇲
@@jonnytwotimes9196How can we assist? Let it be known.
Buju Banton has taken the time to study his history and culture and it shows in the most natural, fun and humble way when he speaks, great qualities of a teacher! Such an amazing interview, his energy is unmatched!
U are wise.
He is a true Rastaman. This how they are.
As an African, a Ghanaian to be precise. He’s literally saying the truth although it hurts. We grew up thinking Jamaicans were Africans. They sing about liberating Africa than most African musicians. The aftobeats is all about grooving but they got no context. This is a free lecture. We love Buju 🇬🇭
I understand what u are saying, but Jamaicans are Africans too. African slaves taken away from Africa and brought to the island of Jamaica.
This is what hurts all diasporans when we choose to live in Africa. Ghana to be specific. It hurts our heart with locals treat us bad, but its equally painful to see y'all treating each other bad. Ive got stories. But this thing where they dont want to liberate themselves is confusing. You have the space and wherewithal to do it.
As asb African who has more problems we don't give a F*** we groove
You talking nonsense. Did Jamaican music liberate Ghana? Reggae music was not even a thing when most African countries got their independence. Hell no, reggae music did not liberate anywhere in Africa. Why is Jamaican is not liberated yet. He should talk about his fellow artist in Jamaica objectifying women and glorifying murders, gangs and drugs in reggae/Dancehall.
Give thanks to Haile selassie who liberated you. At least reggae music and most Jamaicans praise the king who freed us mentally and spiritually@@2LETLIVE
This was the best interview ever in Drink Champs history. This interview taught many of the history of Jamaicans, origins of our music, knowledge of our history as black people around the world and the pride we should have and love for our brothers and sisters and preaching of how much God deserves the Glory. Buju we love you.
True very empowering and educative.
😂 i wouldn't go that far , must be the only episode you watched!
@@deanivan3951 no it is not my first episode watching obviously
@@lovejones1897lol Then you just must be Jamaican. They think everything Jamaican is the best, i should know my family is Jamaican!

"I don't come to bow, I come to Conquer" - Bob Marley
The Haitian people love our Jamaican brothers and sisters.
Jamaicans always speak up for how others treat our Haitian brothers and sisters we are family
l never forget that words
Buju is regal. Naturally. His mannerisms- He commanded that room.
it seems like, is upthere mentally, such an intellegent l never see Buju deep inside in the interview, l thought it was one more in the industry, now l see that lm wrong...

Man buju acapella just gives you goosebumps
I'm Kenyan and I feel like we failed those who wanted to see us prosper. Big up Buju Banton
Never too late Brother✊🏾
I’m Kenyan too, and I totally understand what he was saying when he said where was the music to uplift Mandela while he was in the struggle or where’s the music to uplift the people in adversity
As long as we have faith we will never fail. Africans unite! I'm Jamaican and I love my African brothers and sisters we will always stand for Africa this is why they fight us
@@BeingCamille LOL no you don't love africans that's a lie
how the fuk did anyone fail? because this thug says so?
As a black American I’ve always had a connection to Jamaica. The history going back to Queen Nanny and the Maroon colony, The culture, The music and just the people overall. listening to the music growing up always made me proud to be black and of African descent. We all owe Jamaica 🇯🇲 homage. Real Talk!

Homage for what?
@@jerzydevoos5413Jamaican culture has inspired the world, I think the word instead of homage is respect

Not at all
As a Belizean woman that loves reggae music i thank drink champs for giving Buju his flowers 🌹🌺.. he deserves it such a wise humble soul that have definitely influenced my up bringing
This man brought me to tears. I’ve never heard someone so great talk so well about Haiti. God bless you Buju ❤️🇭🇹
This man here to liberate the people
What are you saying!?!? Guyanese women Love Haitian man.
Many of us in Jamaica share Buju's sentiments of Haiti🇭🇹 May you overcome the unrest you're currently going through... God be with Haiti❤ One Love🇯🇲
Buju earned a Masters Degree in Music Business Management from New York University while incarcerated.
Super facts
Why was he incarcerated? For singing positive vibing songs?

(Dr.John Henrik Clarke speech)
All the people getting upset about what buju said about Afro Beats did not watch the whole interview and if they did they are slow.
Jamaica was the only country that constantly did songs against Apartheid in South Africa 🇿🇦
And today South Africans prefer any whites from different country to represent them than blacks. Oh pls give it a break
Don't forget the great lucky dude from St. Africa
Facts
laborde6604 this is why reading is fundamental, because he Jamaica is the only country.
Reggae music was the only genre fighting against apartheid and also the singers and DJs did some many songs for the freedom of Mandela the only genre and I'm talking countless songs there's actually a compilation Greensleeves records did with all the songs for Mandela including the song buju sang during this interview Winnie Mandela by Carlene Davis check it out real revolutionary music reggae is the real world muzik
I went to the Embassy an the lady said "you are permanently banned from the US" Buju " lets see what God will do"! God will never let you down if you trust, believe n have faith. Blessings ALL❤🙏🙏🙏
Amen

Buju Banton, The real King! His memory is amazing. The gems and the wisdom. The consciousness, the awareness is incredible. His perspective of the evolution of music from vinyl to CD and now streaming is REAL! Jamaican and proud🇯🇲 Nuff love and respect 🙏🏽
Jamaicans have high respect for Africa and hold Africa in high regard. You listen to all the music they always mention Africa in their songs, and as Africans, we have no respect for this continent and no self-respect. As Africans, we have lost the spirit of fighting, and we owning to our forefathers the revolutionaries like Thomas Sankara, Patrice Lumumba ,Steve Biko to revitalize our fighting spirit as Africans. Much respect to Jamaican Buju ❤💚💛
We are the descendants of some of the most rebellious of Africans brought to the Caribbean. As punishment the British would transfer the trouble makers from other islands in the Caribbean to Jamaica where the life expectancy was only seven years. In defiance, we will always be Africans robbed of our birthright. Home is where the heart is even after 400 years.
Buju called a bloodclot time out !! This interview is Effin Epic!! 😂😂😂
I meet Buju back in 2008 when he came to the Bahamas for a Concert. I remember my crew and I sat with him the entire night at the hotel just talking and joking around. One of the most humble and wisest persons I’ve ever met. Bless Up Gargamel 👑 Link Again
This is what you call intelligence. People who always calling vybz kartel intelligent just because he can play with words. Come see what real intelligence is like.
Definitely. Knowledge is power
Kartel, do the same if we are honest cause if you think about it, kartel Place did name gaza. If you google the Place name gaza, you realize this man, medz things and west bank.
Kartel is smart, believe it or not but people who come from developing countries are more advanced in terms of academia when compared to western countries.
Ahi!!!!
@@Babatundeh7
Gaza a war zone.
Why choose war to represent?
Kartel is a petty intellectual fool who is dangerous.
When I as about 7 buju came to perform in sxm (stmarten ) my mom carried me to his show , she had me on her shoulder buju called me up on stage and I sang his song the crowd was actually throwing money on stage he carried me to the back after with all the rastas , I would never forget that day . I always wish I could meet him to ask him if he remembers
This energy is what the world need right now. Bob Marley is gone and did his job. Thank jah we still have wisdom in the world
The powers that be is preventing that . Just think about it for a minute and you will understand
This will be one of the most important drink champ interviews ever “a Special!!! no regular 45”
Homage to the icon and ambassador Buju🙌🏾
😂😂
Omg I grew up listening to this man but today I have a new found respect and pride as a Jamaican in the knowledge he extended on this episode
this interview is called 'if the cap fits'

Respect from Kenya 🇰🇪
Large up my country 🇰🇪

Bubu Banton is an anthology of not only Jamaican music history, but also cultural music history. This interview is a high level class of music history. Well done. 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Jamaicans are naturally revolutionary beings. Higher ups ain't having that
Revolutionary compared to what African groups? Just saying I can name more uprisings in other countries.
So why does Jamaica have the highest murder rate in the world?

Thank God Nore wasn’t a drunk mess. He kept it together. Good interview BuJu is a knowledgeable educated man, that makes great music!
Agreed!!!! Nore handled as best as he could but Buju’s intellect is unmatched!

Maaan... this gentleman has been a huge part of my life. Thanks for having him on and honouring him.
Yes sir, appreciated
He’s in touch with all aspects of life and not just music. Music influences so much and he said it himself how they destroyed our voice in hip hop as well as dancehall. And the Haiti 🇭🇹 shout out needs to be spread far and wide! I used to hear Buju Banton, now I listen to Buju. Big difference and big up
Thank you Buju for talking about my country 🇭🇹 and let them know we are the light in the Dark ..... Every black should learn Haitian story
Asè
Respect is forever due to Haiti 🇭🇹
🇯🇲
The Igbo man is a man of truth and peace. He doesn’t like injustice. Respect Buju for tracing and embracing your Igbo lineage. Ndewoo!! Nwanna Buju! We are Igbos.
I always say I think I am from yoruba or igbo tribe on Nigeria. I came to that conclusion when watching nigerian movies. My spirit says nigeria although I was told that if I visit ghana I would think I am still in jamaica. I will visit the Mama Africa one day...
I’m Igbo ❤🇺🇸
Brooooo
I had chills when he said he traced his lineage and it was Igbo.
Explains a lot, if you pause to reflect pon it.
Big Upps Buju…👍
I am Ashanti born in Guyana. I lived in Ghana as an adult. You will recognize your tribes men right away
@@providenceartdesign I'm Igbo,Akan and Ashanti amongst several other tribes I don't know about.....it's CALLED SLAVERY 😅
“We don’t dichotomize” as an African I can fully respect his stance as he comes from an era of conscious music . 🎶
Yes y'all do because, y'all have the attention and only using it for money but not uplifting the other African nations that's going through corruption
walk like a champion is conscious music LOL....fuk outta here
No we do not!💥
Buju is my all time favorite reggae artist. Watching him transition from the dancehall scene to rasta was life changing for me. When he dropped Til Shiloh, I knew that my path on this earth was meant to be divine and righteous. Buju made righteousness cool for my generation. One of the most moving moments of my life was watching Buju live at Carnival in ‘97. Long live Gargamel. Nuf respect.👊🏾🙏🏾
This is one of the most powerful interviews ever recorded in my opinion, love buju and his music since I was a boy. I am now 45 and my love for his music continues. Trini man here.
I feel this… me too
As a Jamaican I’m inspired and proud of this interview Buju showed so much grace and tact while being buju it was amazing to watch such an intellectual vessel parting ways with so much knowledge and history.
This interview will be watched by many generations to come
Asè
Gaaadaaamn, the way he talked about no liberation or uplifting song from Africa, the way the youths are suffering and there is no unifying songs and as a kenyan i felt that....afro beats is good but there is more needing to be done musically to inspire the people....Gaaadaaamn Buju🔥🔥🔥🔥
Did u see how nore keot deflecting the conversation he is an agent he only wanted gossip he didn’t like the history lesson or the fact that he was telling them music was for the message from the messengers and it has power he didn’t like that conversation either he switched it fast

I really thank Buju for commenting about how some Jamaicans don’t consider us born Jamericans as Jamaicans. I don’t know why some of them feel that way seeing that we embrace our heritage so much. It’s not like we are trying to be something we are not. so much respect my brother.

@@ianditwin7443You are thinking that nationality is the only factor. The children of immigrants are exposed to the culture of the country they live in and to the culture, language, upbringing, and music of their parents' country. It is natural for these kids to feel very much a part of the culture of their parent's home country too.
In other words, they appreciate and are proud of their heritage.
Not Going To Lie This Is The Best Interview I've Seen Buju Ever Done Speaking How He Truly Feels 🔥🔥💯💯🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲 LEGENDARY LEGEND
Just put Buju in thé reggae dancehall historian book… this man knows his history
He is a major part of that history
"In this game if you love the music, the music loves you back "
"Music should come from a happy and pure place "
"Music is never disposable , Artists are disposable "
This was an amazing Interview
He said, “ Thank you very much DAUGHTER, for this WATER. Man is clever.
Love how Buju asks them that he hopes the comparison game wasn't intended to cause a negative divide between the artists.. 👏🏼 the newer generation can learn a lot from this interview..
When Buju talked about Haiti, i felt it. From i came to America over 16 years, I've been working with my brothers and sisters from across the island. I ❤️ y'all.
Does this man know how legendary he is ?😳 Maaaan I respect how humble he is seriously. thats beautiful
This Is By Far Probably The Greatest Interview Ever Documented ...😭 ...Respect To Drink Champs For Curating This Legacy
First Time I See Nore So Quiet 💯 And Not Interrupting The Guest
Nore had to take in teachings from the teacha!

“The greatest weapon we have against our adversaries is forgiveness.” ~Buju Banton
🤯 nuff respect king!
"Music is never Disposable, it is the Artist that is Disposable."
Solid
This interview is giving a lot op people an insight into Rastafari spirituality. It's not just ganja smoking and dreads. The message is always peace, love and unity. Burn down Babylon! but there is a lot of history behind it.
What he Said About Haiti Made Me Cry. Thank you My Haitian Brothers
❤🇯🇲🌍🙏
Me too. Haiti , love my Hatian ppl
Bujus awareness to what he's saying is ON ANOTHER LEVEL.
I worked for a sound company in trinidad and set up for one of buju concerts. The man took a bad fall off a motorcycle the day before the concert. He used a cane to get up on stage, but as soon as he came on, he put that cane down and put on the most memorable concert I've ever worked. He is truly an entertainer for the people. I've seen multiple big acts, but nothing like his performance.
Buju and Machel are the best performers from the caribbean hands down
Why does this interview not have more views this is pure gold
Everything good is not for everyone
Im rewatching and writting down every artist name Buju said and im going to listen to their music because he is literally recounting my childhood that i for forgot.
Please post them here
Do you have Fela Kuti? Any time you need someone to interpret his language to you, I got your back.
you gotta walk like a champion act like a champion-Buju
Philly in here
I was 12
