Legendary Robbie Basspear
Was very lucky to sly and Robbis and the taxi gang 2 times and I thank god for that and jah bliss him and all the great Reggae artists we have bee n bliss with that makes this music so wonderful and fulfilling and up lifting.
Robbie was not only a phenomenal musician globally. But he was a tough dude. Word has it he used to bring his hammer into the recording studio.
I never knew about that side of Jah Robbie Shakespeare- good ting for Maxi Priest that he was there 4him...Robbie was a great bassist as well as a hard man it seems...Good episode. Blessup high-a.
Yeah Mon the knowledge is great in dis place.... Jah bless
Maxi Priest came up through the Saxon Sound System in London he must be fine now because he headlined the West Indian carnival in Chapeltown Leeds West Yorkshire in 2023. It’s an interesting story and I appreciate the video and your channel. As a British guy who grew up in Greater Manchester and loved the Reggae Pirate Radio stations from Moss Side since the eighties when I was a kid. It is very helpful to have the culture and music explained Bless up Respect and Big Love from Northern England to you at the centre of the world in Jamaica keep up the excellent channel ❤️💛💚 🇯🇲
...Wow. I made it to a couple of shows during this tour....Cincinnati and Columbus (Oct '88). They opened in Boston (last week of September '88). Forever Memories.✨
I too, was at both Concerts in Cincinnati & Columbus 🎶 Had a great time, got back stage & took mass pics 🎶🎶
Nice one Robbie love maxi ❤🎉
Never heard of this before-Great story!
Another brilliant video and thanks for sharing.
Another banger. Thank you, professor 😃
I just love history. Jah Bless
The more I hear about the music business, the less impressed I am with it...
serious ting...
Facts my brother facts
You could say the same thing about life too
I worked in it for 20 years, Hunter S Thompson summed it up best - "The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side."
Thats why we just listen to the music
omy god maxi priest thank God that we still have you with us 🙏 god blessed your friend ?in this world we have to have a good friend to who we can trust ❤️ 🎉thank God again 🙏
Maxi is my favorite reggae singer 🔥🐉🇬🇾 he made me start listening to reggae. Even dancehall the feature with Shabba made me start listening to Shabba. Then Terro Fabulous n Buju
Give Thanks for the video,, Blessed Love,, Rastafari,, 🇱🇨👊🏽🇯🇲👍🏽❤️🔥🔥🔥
That' How Robbie Shakespeare come, He played and maintained "Rough" everytime😅 RIP Sir Shakespeare. Jah needed you in another place in the Universe😢
Keep up the great work and thank you for sharing so much history
No wonder Maxi did not give the reason for the beef.
He knew he was at fault to some degree.
RAS is a wonderful font of 🎼Reggae music🎼 knowledge. But I have to say Peter Tosh was one of the most handsome. Raspec ❤️💛💚🖤
Robbie is toughest
Copeland Forbes, my dad.
Forbes your dad? I met him . My father knew him well
I always fancied Robbie there was something about him 😁
…not many people know that Robbie was rough and tough…
The older people told me about his rude boy days when he use to live on Jacques rd east Kingston and how he loved to eat
Good day, I am so surprised to know this. He seemed so quiet and layed back like Sly. I greatly appreciate this post. God bless form the USA.

@ReggaeAppreciationSociety hey mon, you've the BEST documentaries ever on TH-cam. For real. I'd love to hear one unless you did it already about HIM. I mon a guess that WE all know He the King of all kings. His mere utterance silence the th heathen, I bear witness right now. I know if you do a story about HIM, the wold will drop down to their knees. You don't need to try hard , I mon know, I just want every soul to know lord Jesus is Ethiopian. Until then, bless forIver. I'm a jam toots country roads for now. Selassie I live. Children ya!
@@Infinitebrandon Yes I Brandon mi lion. Great suggestion. Will look at it.
Why does the term, showered with blessings, come to mind.
Maxie is a habitual line stepper I see 😂
Ok, after Keithy couldn't get his part of bargain with an agreement through Maxi Priest's former manager which was bad enough for Keithy to still feel hung up over something that never transpired giving rise to ideas that Maxi is still singing so he wants his money one way or the other. Maxi on the other hand only added more fuel to the fire when Keithy got locked away for sometime, Maxi just couldn't keep his shango stick in his pants didn't even catch any form of hints that the women he had an affair with was Keithy's girlfriend [the Keithy want to delete him at this moment]... Artiste life is a wild and messy trip at times!
There's always a lady involved in most fights.
😂 true that
She was hot back then
Keithy Axe waz NOT from BIRMINGHAM, but from LONDON (rip)
South London. Small axe sound system.. Keith's brother had a pool house on the landor Rd starkys pool hse. Yes they from stockwell.. the preddie family
@@jaydebeer7251 Small Axe was a gangster sound system, in a sound clash win or lose they're taking your records AND equipment! And just be lucky they don't slice you up getting it.. they were brutal
@@darganx not with Coxson or hightous and a few others. Yes they done it with some but not all.
@@jaydebeer7251 Yeah they didn't fk with Coxsone, there's always man that's badder!
Respect Robbie 💪🏿👍🏿🙏🏿🫡
Keithy axe simular to super cat,
small axe wss his sound system from brixton london, but i think it was originally from ja, they used to play against a sound then rob sound amps before leaving,
There is a video,
coxsone at clapham common,,
were you can see the axe man around coxsone sound in the 80s
I grew up with all these guys and remember this very well. I used to travel around with coxson in the 80s.. Keith's brother had a pool house on landor Rd in stockwell. The whole axe family were tough. The preddys
Small Axe Sound System was from Brixton, One of the best Weight And Treble Sound System In the 1970s - 80s, Small Axe Sound did not go looking for trouble but if you brought it to them you was in big trouble.
Stockwell not Brixton. But kinda the same back then. Keith preddie
It has been a long time but Small Axe came out of King Tubbys along with Black Harmony But from what I remember they came from the Landor Road Area Brixton, We played at the same blues dances on many occasions and Shepard's on Railton Road for years. Neville King Sound
@@GaryMcGhie yes Keith axe preddie was small axe. His bigger brother starky was the owner of the pool house on landor Rd.
Robbie was n rockers movie?
The music 😮💨
IT WAS VINCENT RAT, FROM RATS SECURITY WAS THE ONE WHO SAVED HIM. ALL THIS CAN BE CONFIRMED.
This was gripping...
Loving this kind of content
Blessings 🙏🏾❤
Keiti Axe was from London and this story is true
Robbie the general o/c barbells
Do Bogle and willie haggart
Max Elliott (Maxi Priest) is my cousin. I am going to ask him to confirm this.
Let me know, I enjoyed his music from back in the day.
Ok.
Do you know jacky Elliot?
@@marciadenson4382 I have not met Jacky. My family is huge. I was born in America and never been to Jamaica where my grandmother Lois Jean Elliott was born in St Elizabeth (Bull Savanna). There are so many family members to meet.
@@marciadenson4382 Are you related to us or know some of my family members?
I had a friend like priest. Always had some bs going on. Especially behind a girl.
Keith axe was keith preddie. Big family. Knew him well and his bigger brother starky who had a pool house on landor rd stockwell south london.
Wow!
Warrior Priest
R. I. P. Barbells Robbie Shakespeare

Maxi Priest is Jamaican.
Maxi Priest focus too much on girl as a man with locks
YES
I wonder what you'd say about Bob Marley, huh?
--Æ.
It come like you focus too much on man.
@@AckeeEater.

@@JayNubi
Not all pusy a good pusy memba dat, discipline is virtue my friend.
My friend Julian cut off Maxi Priest's locks.
I remember that 😆. Cut of a few locks but not all of it. Dam thst was a long time ago.
@@jaydebeer7251 I am an old chap!!
I asked Julian what he did with the locks and he said that he dashed them in the road.
@@anyawaleofondo lol cold
You got your story wrong about Keith axe he is not from Brixton h is a sound system owner from a sound named Small axe uk from brixton he later moved to Spanish Town and now he is late
