now i gotta go check out love injection and mexican haha. thanks for this show

Respects to Rodigan, but never say he was a pioneer in Reggae music, because he simply was not and is not. Rodigan latched on to a foundling reggae market when Reggae was hardly known to those outside our Caribbean community and brought it on to his radio show in the 1980s. Since then, Rodigan has been performing Reggae music made by others. He has never ever made nor produced Reggae music. So, not a pioneer. RIP - Shaka.

​@@Mountainsandmusic8011 why want to go there....RIP Tony Williams The going was rough, the fight was tough..

​@@Mountainsandmusic8011 what about Steve bernard

@@Mountainsandmusic8011 he was the 1st I remember but he is never spoken about !

Many, including many Jamaicans would happily take your place.

@@yodab.at1746 they are welcome to it .

@@DavidJones-ww9yb secret is, is that he doesn't listen or enjoy reggae music. Certainly doesn't hear the lyrics. What I love about Rodigan is his enthusiasm. Which is mirrored by the crowd.

@@yodab.at1746 I certainly do enjoy some reggae music , I spent years buying the records and playing the music out on the streets , the real message music not the jerk chicken and rum red stripe slackness stuff though

@@qedamawiessene5827 well, reggae music isn't just roots and consciousness. Much as I don't buy into slackness, that was a huge part of reggae and soundsystem culture in Jamaica for a very long time. And Rodigan was part of that, to an extent. But he didn't do the cuss thing, his knowledge and the way he presented meant he was a clash winner without the cuss cuss. But his knowledge of the roots side is also massive. Rodigan broke all the stereotypes of a white English man, and Jamaicans loved that because he was/is so passionate about Jamaican music.

The selectors were Shaka's crew Tony and Joseph.? Not sure why you think Rodigan should play. He doesn't even play any of Shaka's music in this tribute

was not the best

for real ? i didn't listen to it because i think Rodigan is a disgrace as he hasn't used his position to showcase all the great UK made reggae and bring in the selectas from sounds all across the country or funded a reggae festival in the place where he grew up , a heap of reasons to dislike this man for his lack of action lack of help for those in the struggle . if he did a whole tribute show without playing any of Shaka's music that really is an insult

@@qedamawiessene5827 ..the BBC narrative is that reggae died with Bob Marley and therfore deny the existence of the UK scene, despite embracing all the spinoffs like DnB, grime and any modern music with bass lines.. Shaka kept roots music alive through the 80s and 90s playing to all tribes, nations and generations, the People's sound! That's why Rodigan is out of touch

@@iaindcosta even though he's good friends with the Peckings family

@garybond8011 he works for people who protect pedophiles and much much worst ..that's just the tip of the satanic iceberg... sorry I know people don't like to face reality but that's the truth with much clear evidence to support.

You know it's protocol but you're right that station is a big BBC (bumboclat). Love Rodi tho

​@@sherphillips7625use their words to make it sound better if you like .. but he is directly working for babylon ..the same babylon that enlave and make so many unnecessarily suffer in this world.
