Sister Nancy is just now getting paid for that song
😮that is wild!
She still alive?? Good
@@MandyArrowyup
@shorteeyoung4451 No its not. She literally copy and pasted others work
@@NotEnuff8Yeah but you didn't know that until you saw this video😂😂😂 when you hear her, say Bam Bam that is the only version that exists in the Zeitgeist so it is not crazy to think that she should have been paid
My absolute favorite riddim of all time. Sista Nancy's voice is sublime. She never got paid for that song for 34 years.
Crazy story. At least she got paid in the end.
I didn't know that 😮 wow! That's so wrong!
Why not? Who denied her??
It was hard for her to get paid when yellow man and Toots used the same lyrics and cadence before her
She also took it from someone else
I love both Yellowman and Sister Nancy
Legends. My favorite reggae artists.
King Yellowman!
Still gives me chills when i hear her ❤
Everytime!
BS!!! Why does it give you chills?
Right lol
@@shookfngAny song I really like , love , gives me goose bumps / chills , whatever you wanna call them . Happens all the time .
ME TOO!!
😂😂song is forever legendary in the black community trust that.
definitely is! i almost screamed when i heard it like what he know bout this?!?
ALL of NYC. Most every club in the late 80s/early 90s had a reggae room. That riddim got fused into our DNA
From Pittsburgh 💯
It’s huge in the DNB community in the Uk that track got a few remixes over the years
Was in the Belly Movie with DMX and Nas. Classic
That's how Jamaican music is done to this day. Several artists record a track over the same "riddim" and the riddim itself becomes famous. Sometimes you can't even remember the name of the song or the artist but you know the riddim.
Facts ❤
Accurate 👌🏿
Tbh that's how all music has been done and will always be done.
Or you think it’s one song and you start to sing and it’s a totally different song 😂😂😂
@@Greencheez-y that’s not true at all
I thought i knew a lot about music and these dudes have humbled me
in the same boat rn, im usually the person that has more knowledge about music in most rooms so this for sure humbled me but at the same time made me feel like i need to go even deeper into the history since i mostly know about the music from my birth year and up.
They both go hard!! All classics
It was in those famous Jamaican studios where the idea of remixing and reinterpretation of rhythms began. And DJ’s from Jamaica immigrated to NYC and brought the Soundsystem Clash idea to the streets of the 5 boroughs and became part of the birth of Hip Hop culture.
Say it again for the kids please. Sometimes it shocks me how little current hip hop artists know about hip hop, or at least old school. I watched a video the other day of a young man watching the electric relaxation video for the first time. I didn't realize it's an "oldie" at this point. Beyond old school. Blew my mind. I'm old but the 90's were thee best!!
Jamaicans started vocalising over tracks via dub and that artform birthed Hip Hop.
That is a blasphemous lie you just spoke, Hip Hop was birthed from Funk, R and B, Jazz, and The Blues, Kool Herc himself who is considered one of the pioneers said he didn't bring anything from jamaica to black americans concerning hip hop , he said he learned from Disco King Mario and DJ Tony Flowers, we already had sound systems and DJ's, this lie has been going around for decades, black americans created hip hop, later on you had other groups joined in.
Most of the founders are still alive and have even written books stating this. It was Black Americans & Black Caribbean (many ppl were both because 1 parent from each Black group - that's nyc for about a century before internet weirdos) w/Ricans folks in that was neighborhood & everyone was vibing then & even now. *#cope* @user-pu9sc5fm8s
@truthtorpedo4068 You're an ahistorical joke! Jamaicans didn't birth hip-hop! They contributed just other Black West Indians contributed along with Black Americans w/southern roots... *that was rhe population in Bx!* Jamaicans mainly bought speaker clash like op said. It's primarily an American art form.
That song beings back memories! Sistah Nancy 🙏🏾
She took the whole sound of reggae dance hall in a different direction with her style. Yellow Man’s version was within the genre as it existed. She busted it out of the box influencing so much that followed in the direction of dance hall.
Chronologically it looks like they both copied eek a mouse.
@@rosssmith8481 sure. I’m sure that sound inspired her but the effect of this sound jumps things in a different direction to me. Eeka mouse in early 80s was very much standard dub reggae
You never heard of Lone Ranger, U-Roy, I-roy, Big Joe? nancy has nothing compared to when Big Joe peaked on Jack Rubys soundsystem.
@@theonetocomeifyoubelieveit well you obviously aren’t following what I’m saying considering you’re making an irrelevant point
@@TheMoonDejesus she nailed that riddim. Aside from that I fail to see what is ground breaking with it. Also eek a mouse is not dub reggae can you name one dub tune he sings on? Its pure early dancehall. Not sure what you see as ground breaking with Nancy. The slack style with intermittent quick and melody was done by jazzbo for example many years earlier with Lee Perry on croaking lizard as an example and this is a dub reggae song btw. Dillinger - take a dip. Lone ranger - automatic and answer. These are founders. What you mean Nancy opened for? Examples?
He knows his shit. Foundation ❤
Sister Nancy's version is the best. Legendary! 🙌🏾❤
I agree
Nah, Toots & the Maytals all day.
Toots Hibbard had one of the best vocals in musical history and literally coined the term "Reggae".
There's no shame in being second best to a musical legend!
@@jacobgeddes621 Yeah, and what they forget to mention here is that Toots never saw one penny of royalties from the Sister Nancy version or any of the songs that sampled it.
@@sungong8052 Why would Toots get shit? It was Ansel Collins that made stalag 17 ridddim. Toots hardly invented the bam bam expression.
The Sister Queen took those scraps and fused them together into solid GOLD! What is lasting, to this day, is a literal masterpiece, in my honest and humble opinion.❤
Scraps
Disrespectful to call it scraps...😢
Very disrespectful. Nancy smashed the riddim for sure but the rest was rude for such iconic separate pieces.
Yes she did I love it
@@rashadbey359well clearly if it wasn't for sister Nancy we never would of heard it at all
WAKE UP MR WEST 🗣
I be Puerto Rican Day parade floatin'
It’s also in Lauren Hill’s song “Lost One”!!!!!!!😮😊
No it’s not
It is@@CR-pw9il
@@CR-pw9il
Yes it is
Literally the very last words before the music ends....
"What a bam bam...."
That's literally from Sister Nancy
Lauren Hill’s a pos, that’s why people don’t give her recognition.. deserved though
@CR-pw9il The songs hook is an interpolation of Bam Bam. "So what Bam Bam", becomes "You just lost one"
Bought this record in Berkeley in 2000 on a road trip. Then saw her in Los on my birthday 2018. It was amazing.
Her version gives me shivers down my spine and also wakes up my soul, makes me proud to be a Blackwoman and a Jamaican Fr 🇯🇲🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
From what I know about the riddims..the riddim Gods are producing riddims constantly..only a chosen few is giving the riddim and they all express themself accordingly to how they feel the riddim speaking to them…Jamaicans are really talented producers and artist..alot of the music would win Grammys
In that time anybody could jump on a riddim, some have 100’s of versions by different artists and the early riddims were mostly made from earlier other records. Jamaica only started copyright laws mid 90’s, than you had those greensleaves riddim albums with around 20 different artists version on it. And idd Jamaicans have allways had amazing productions from very early on because when Jamaica finally became free from colonisation by the british, they had to quickly flee the country and the biggest and wealthiest studio’s like the BBC all had to leave their Cream of the crop material behind for us to be blessed today being able to enjoy all that great music
We need to stop caring about the grammys and other whlte validation ceremonies as a people.
Let's make our own to honor our own.
This was a great time in Dub Music.
This is Rub A Dub
This the best Jamaican song to me her melody on the beat is goddess like
You need to broaden your exposure to more Jamaican music. 😅
@@ericpowell4350cringe
@@ericpowell4350 I have this just the one I like the older style like Lee scratch Perry. Eric I’m pray for you because don’t respect nobody’s opinion may the most high heal you of your traumas in life
There’s a nice YT video with Sean Paul running through some of the classic toasters and sound systems, and he includes Sister Nancy’ Bam Bam. Then there 4-5 of his cuts. Worth the watch.
Pure talent .She is a Queen..she is a legend. She is revolutionary..big up SISTA NANCY!❤😊🎉🎉🎉
Wieva suh creative and talented 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
BEST Version OF ALLLLLLL TIME.❤
One of the best songs. I’ll never not sing along and/or dance along. She’s got a great voice and the beat is _perfect_
this is so common in reggae and dub music. they would cover eachothers tracks all the time.
I fuckin love that song. I bumped that in my car for weeks. So good. Didn't know the history and love that I do now. Thanks!
It’s timeless
One of my favorite Maytals songs. Had the honor of seeing Toots in New Haven CT. Legends....
Jamaica 🇯🇲 to the world.
Out of many, one ☝️ people!
❤️🔥🖤💚⚡️
My guy vibing with absolutely zero rhythm 😂
One of the most crucial tracks ever from Ja
Definitely up there for sure. Real Rock by Sound Dimension and No, No, No are also BIG TUNES.
grew up cleaning to this one. Bam Bam is a pivotal part of my childhood. masterpiece!
King Yellowman!! #Respect
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
No
Love sister Nancy! Love hearing the back story, thank you!
YOOOOO, that was my jam back in the day ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is my favorite dancehall tune.
I remember this from the movie Belly. Epic.
Only the real ones do 💯
I remember it from every single stoner striper dancing to it for about 15 years. Bug time early 2000s gimmick, sort of after the second wave of ska Punk the song was on cartoons and all over adult entertainment for a handful of years.
I will never forget the first time I head this track, and I've loved it ever since.
June 2002. About 8:30am on a beautiful Sunday morning at a hippie music festival in Canada.
We'd been up all night dancing and taking in the scene. Our last dose was a few hours prior, and we were still feeling good.
As we were doing a lap of the property, one of the side stages started playing this track, and those of us that were around just all unconsciously gravitated toward the music. About 30 of us did our early morning bob and shuffle to this track, and it was awesome.
When I got home later that week, I tracked it down and play it in every reggae/dub set I play now.
Reggae is nothing but repeated riddims and lyrics. I love Sister Nancy!
I loved learning this. Epic short
Classic piece of art!
I really enjoyed this episode of the podcast, and the other episodes that covered the history of Jamaican music. Great stuff.
What A Bam Bam! Love that track
One of my absolute favorite songs!! Sista Nancy...I literally listen to this atleast once a week. The first time I heard it I was 4yrs old!! My aunt Dianna played it for me and I fell in live with right then!!
I came to nice up Jamaican.. mi sah whatta Bam bam❤❤❤
My guy Alderman Gayle he's from Inglewood 😂😂😂😂 shout out fam
It's called rockin to the beat!❤
I was in college in 00’ and this song came on at the party and the groove neva stopped, Sister Nancy always had the respect.
Glad y'all are shining a light on this legend of a boss. She had the absolute best version ever!!!
Forever a classic
Her version is better
This is why I follow this page for stuff like this !keep it coming ‼️
Can you imagine seeing a band called the Toots singing bum bum over and over again? What a world.
Sister Nancy version is possibly the best reggae song ever.
Loving this podcast
Top 5 Riddim, All Time.
Born in 81. I first heard this in the late 90s ...dancehall was so 🔥
I'm from Houston. I use to listen to this song screwed and chopped daily
Which version?
@@andrewalbertson1 the female singer
The kinda music that never dies
I've been hearing this song since I was a kid in the 80s still ahead of its time
I love watching knowledgeable people break down great music
Back in the day and still This Song Is Blood Fire!!!!!😂
When that "Bam bam" starts eith the dub bass it just teansports me back to a shitty field somewhere. It was always one of my favourite leads into Jungle. Sooo goood.
That first music break sounded like, "The child is black, the child is white..."
Yall have the best music commentary content on youtube hands down
Her song sounds sooo great her voice and the reverb just make it better
Love the way he was swaying..can't hear that song without moving my body
Still makes the hairs on the back of me neck stand up,such a beautiful haunting quality to her voice❤
Sister nancy gives me goosebumps every time
God. This channel is everything. 😮
This is the favorite song of every single stripper in the 2000s with a weed character gimmick.
I love that song, awesome background info!❤
Tenor Saw's Ring the alarm and Willie Williams' Armagideon Time are two of my favorite songs using this beat.
"Armagideon Time" is on Soundimension "Real Rock" rhythm, another heavily used classic - both cuts are Studio One.
Best version, hands down!!✊🏾
Muma Nancy was fyaaa🔥🔥🔥💃🏻
I saw Sister Nancy at the Lodge Room in LA last year and she absolutely killed
I swear that guy is SideQuestz in 20 years time. 😎❤️🤣
He just heard the song for the first time last week 😂
The movie Belly put me onto that song. It puts me into a trance, its beautiful
Amazing track
I got a hold of dancehall stylee 2. This is one of my favorite songs on that album. This album stayed in my deck more than the purple tape. Classic.
These videos are so good, I always learn a little more about those deep cuts in my collection ❤❤❤❤
I rediscovered this song a year ago. Been in constant rotation on my reggae playlist since
She’s so incredible
I'm so hungry for all these full episodes to get posted, I need more.
King Yellow!!!
Love your analyses.. sister nancy kilt it with that classic and she was still just a kid
I love when white guys know the history of good reggae music artists and musicians. My boy DJ Rob in way up state NY had all the records 10" and 45's. Any latest riddim he had. Imagine this tall polish looking white dude with corn rows, velour sweat suits and timbs licking down the baddest riddim in the whitest town in upstate NY. Big up Robert if you ever see this comment
About time she gets paid , when my parents had party's those are the tunes I remember,,,
Sounds so great. (And the Plastic Bertrand shirt rocks.)
She kills it
One of my fav songs all time
Solid video, great knowledge. Subscribed! Peace!
Ohh lordy I found his pronunciation of the "stalag riddim" so hilarious
I love this song so much found it a few years ago, glad to hear more info on it
Her voice always mesmerised me
Her song is fire
I learned of Sista Nancy from Thievery Corporation. Amazing group.
I remember hearing Sister Nancy for the 1st time on a junglist mix tape early 2000’s, my mind was blown and I asked anyone I knew who liked jungle music if they knew who she was. It was so crazy back in the day how we had to go on quests to find out who an artist was lol. 😂
Sister Nancy was amazing
And know the “I’m a lady I’m not a man” bar has so much more meaning 😂
