I'm an American born Jamaican who got sent back in the late 80s cause.."dem seh mi did bad". I want to say that I got to see Ninja in his prime, when he murdered Cat an Shabba. But Ninja was just getting started. This man should be teaching a class on breath control, stage presence rhythm riding and the like to both rappers and chatters. He is the Michael Jordan of the microphone game. Much respect to Merciless, u can tell he truly studied Ninja an figured out how to beat him with good strategy, like how Max Schmelling beat Joe Louis. Nuff respect Gorgon, front teet gold teet AND SIDE TEET!
It's good to hear an African covering our Reggae Jamaican culture. This was good info to spread to the masses. We hope you continue to enjoy our culture and shine light on our Jamaican culture to the world. One love.
Love to see this an African man doing this. I love when we are united. I love my people all over, we should always speak up for each other, others don’t have a right to speak for us.

The first time I heard ninja man was in 86 I remember that combination with him and courtney melody what a DJ I had him on jaro dance hall tape🇯🇲🎤🇯🇲👍🏿🔥
He helped build dancehall to its present state with his contributons but those that followed brought the lyrical clashes to the streets 🤦🏿♂️he cleared the way for most clash artist🤜🏿🤛🏽💯💯🤔
Ninjaman built up dance hall and made it more popular than reggae, rocksteady with his lyrical contents. I know him from he walking barefooted to dance halls.

Mad props for this gem, Thank You!!! I remember back in the day, a new Ninjaman chune come out.....I was glued to the speakers and SO happy!! His lyrical prowess is one of a kind and I'd be smiling ear to ear upon his amazing intro which is also one of a kind!!! Any chance you have or are planning to do a Twinkle Brothers episode?

Expressing life's experiences thru music is not necessarily ruining artform...we can say the same about rappers. Some are real, no bs gangsters...expressing life's experiences thru music
His style contributed to it, but it’s not just him. It’s the same with Drill, and Trap [c]rap. As a people we used to produce uplifting, loving music. The fork tongued beast realised this and funded, and encouraged the vileness we have now. From NWA - started the corruption of hip hop; to that agent if the us…Grange..who’s handlers assisted her in the promotion of dUncehall. All deliberate and we fell for it, hook line etc.
And what do you listen to??? I hear you and will not say you're completely wrong. But not everything is a conspiracy. At least they don't start out that way. If there is money in it they will exploit it, and if it happens to be degrading bonus. For your info it was the labels that forced the underground movement. At the time of nwa, or leading up to it, major labels only signed clean artists ie Fresh Prince. It wasn't until they saw the money...but I agree the slackness is killing us.
Jamaica is divided into Parishes not Provinces. Promoting violence,gangs and slackness is not good for Jamaica. We need more positive and conscious lyrics in our music.🎶🇯🇲🏝️
I don't see any of these DJs during Ninjaman's hey days that can be compared with the Don Gorgon, when it comes to improvisation...and "riding the rhythm like a lizard on limb"!!! Regardless of what one may think of Ninja, not a bwoy cyan test the FRONT TEETH, GOLD TEETH KILLA.....none a dem!
Kartel was a big coward for fighting Ninjaman on stage with the backing of Klansman gang. Dancehall competitions and big shows went downhill after that. You would think people grow older and wiser but him and Ninjaman just threw away their lives at a point where they didn't have to.
hey we dont know each other but i hope ur doing well and I wanna say that GOD still loves u and wants u to be with him all u must do is trust in Jesus (dying for our sins on the cross) and repent of ur sins. GOD loves u more than u can imagine.🎉😊😊😊
Ninja is the only artists ever, that i see bring a loaded weapon on stage, call the chief of police on stage, prove to the crowd it was a real machine... and hand it over to Mista Adams. to THEN!! pull out another piece from his waist and continue singing. Ninja. I think that was during a gun amnesty in Jamaica in the 90's.
So in heaven, personality is everything. RAS you always introduce everyone expertly if not the best. I only share that im a ninja with other ninja. Cowabunga! Hope y'all join me for jalapeño pesto pineapple anchovie deep dish whole wheat crust pizza. Hope to see you ninjas at me table. Mid age ninja turtles still in action. 😅hope anyone can keep up with Leonardo. Jah bless

Thanks for considering my request of doing the story of Ninja Man
My pleasure ✌️ Thanks for the suggestion

Right

When you achieve the level of success Ninja man had--you must leave that lifestyle behind you--otherwise it drags you down.
Jamaica doesn't have 'provinces'. The has Parishes.
Annotto Bay is in the PARISH of St Mary.
His style contributed to it, but it’s not just him.
It’s the same with Drill, and Trap [c]rap.
As a people we used to produce uplifting, loving music. The fork tongued beast realised this and funded, and encouraged the vileness we have now. From NWA - started the corruption of hip hop; to that agent if the us…Grange..who’s handlers assisted her in the promotion of dUncehall.

Ninja is a great DJ. The drugs mashed him up. As for reggae & dancehall my opinion is that the problem is with some of the people behind the scenes.
Kartel was a big coward for fighting Ninjaman on stage with the backing of Klansman gang. Dancehall competitions and big shows went downhill after that.
You would think people grow older and wiser but him and Ninjaman just threw away their lives at a point where they didn't have to.
