Legendary Jamaican dancehall/reggae duo, Steely & Clevie recall playing together professionally as kids, appearing on classic tracks backing singers like Hugh Mundell and Gregory Isaacs.
As an umbilical link between the roots and dancehall eras, they devote much of their time keeping the old flame alive. In this talk at the 2005 RBMA in Seattle, they explain why, expanding on the magic of the old songs and how they have to remind the youth of their islands musical history. They also relive that past, with some great anecdotes about some of reggae’s most famous figures.

Legendary, these 2 have made hit after hit after hit. I was in Jamaica when their track "When" with Tiger first came out. It was incredible witnessing this brand new sound hitting the dancehall for the first time, the people were going CRAZY...
Valuable insight by Steelie & Clevie. So great to have them both discussing music - in combination.
These guys created dancehall and reggaeton.
Legendary
They didn't create reguton.
Bobby Digital Dixon who made Dem Bow from Shabba Ranks, was the producer of that song. Daddy Yankees producer heard that song and sampled it to make the very first Reggaeton songs. Hence the term Reggae-ton
@@AnalogSoundsystemInternational but.rehueton sound is alitle diferente thanridimm 🐕
To be very precise: Steely & Clevie released, in 1990, the Fishmarket Riddim. This is what most early Reggaeton recordings used to sound like. There was also The Pounder Riddim by Dennis 'The Menace' Thompson and I don't know exactly who wrote the Dem Bow Riddim. Also there was the Poco Man Jam Riddim - what was a slightly different version sounding almost like the Fishmarket Riddim.
Steely & Clevie have been one of the most likely riddim sections to be credited with laying the foundation for Reggaeton.
From 1994 onwards you'd often hear early Reggaeton tunes blasting out of Ghetto Blasters that Latinos carried around. These days the tunes sounded very ruff, the rapping by most artistes was not of a high level and it could be annoying after a while hearing that.
So: While in the nineties Jamaica created about four new riddims per week, the latin reggae world spent more than 24 years vibing on the same kinda thing - mainly the Fishmarket, Bam Bam, Dem Bow riddims. (#.=)
Since about 2016 the former reggaeton rappers focus mainly on singing and they have learned that art very well. So right now, Reggaeton music has matured massively and some tunes are sounding excellent and real nice.
As a hardcore Reggae and Dancehall fan, In no way has that music "matured" and "sound excellent" partner. That Reggaeton bullshit is garbage period. I could give to fu#$s, on how many views on TH-cam it gets and $$$ales. You must be either a young cat or just somebody with an effed up ear in music.
My personal friends. R i p. Steely Boomm
Rap industry needs to recognise that U ROY... is the one who revolutionised toasting/ Rapping on record... then they did it in their own way... similar to the British are doing now with grime
U Roy the Godfather of Rap, Rise In Peace Dady U Roy who passed away yesterday
Excellent
thanks for uploading this. Pure gold
One of the guys has a voice exactly like Captain Barkey.

dailydissolution that’s Steele man created dancehall
Saludos a todos desde mi Panamá🇵🇦👍💯💪❤️
Woah. Steely. Ya popping up back to back and me naw search ya...waaa gwan ???? I feel ya Starr
This was a good interview. I think Clevie should of had something to show his way of programming. I also would of liked to hear the tracks that were cut out of the interview. Thanks
RBMA don't included the tracks due to copyright reasons.
Fair Use. You can use them for educational purposes but they just didn’t want to risk it. Pretty weak of them in my opinion
RIP Steely
Man why they cut the music out though!!???
My Mentors
This is nice heen searching for their interview which is long and has alot about them This is it, but i dont get why you cut all their audio presentations. Those were so good as picturates of the events they were stating and you remove those. I dont know why you came to that decision. I would really love if you re-post one without those cuts. Please do. Thank you for this. iT has enriched me in my pursuit for been a great sound and acoustic engineer.
then audio was cut because of copyright
jerrydon amlak how could it be a copy right issue when they made the riddims?
@@judah7608 The weedman tune was Legalize it by Peter Tosh, Wineman tune The Loser Rythm Derek Harriet, Draw your Brakes Rhythm was Breakfast in Bed by Lorna Bennett etc. The reason they were cut short because of Copyright Laws eg public performance without permission©️🎵🎵🎵😎
@@johntom8291, Performance without permission?!? How so? Who owns the rights to the performance of these songs?
The "cow" is Watty Burnett, right?
True talk ...all the different forms could have progressed on it's own ....instead of being amalgamated !!!
The interviewer is obviously somewhat knowledgeable about reggae but not enough so to be interviewing these two forces of nature. Pure cringe worthy questions you can see them navigating through. When he asks them to break down every musical form since mento (something done in a Bob Marley documentary we have all seen and clearly where he got the idea to waste these people's time with such a pointless question) I about turned the interview off.
Why they cut out the tracks
They shouldn't shorten the weed man & wine man examples...
Rastafari...Kedusan Negusa Negas Ababa Jon Hoy Mis Gaan Naam...Alpha & Omega...Selah...
Favorite steely and clevie and dawn penn story...Steely and Clevie produced that tune Mono no...she told Mr Stanbury, Steely and Clevie " Thank you ! No love ya and will NEVER sign with anyone else...." Then run down the street and sign immediately lmao. You see the only hit she ever had. Sorry but I know her...rude fi real
.she rude fi real
It really sucks that every single musical example they played was edited out.
great great knowledge
