SKA WARS - Prince Buster Vs Derrick Morgan
From time to time personal disagreements between music artists have spilled out into the music.
Hip Hop music is littered with these examples of on-record feuds. But decades before Tupac and Biggie two of the biggest artists in Jamaican music, Prince Buster and Derrick Morgan, had a musical war that became so heated the government had to intervene. This became the first of many on-record battles that became known as, the Ska Wars.
Star Wars Theme played by

Very interesting mini doc. I don't think it was genuine beef if they were only recording two mins walking distance between their respective studios. Who won? Everybody, there is no such thing as bad publicity.

I would like to know if you are from Jamaica and you know, when Derrick Morgan and Prince Buster. Where they have several fights with their fans,I guessed you are just speculating. Because you don't know the nature of the violence, that pm Hugh Shearer haveto put a stopping to it. Because you don't know what you are saying at all about feud,I lived in the inner city of Kingston. When there is tribal war between both parties, you lived on the same street and. You cannot go up the street, and the other people them cannot come down the street. I cussed you don't understand the city life, do you know anyone out of the two of them. Well I know both of them more than 60 years ago, and it was personal experiences. So it is really up to you, that you said it was a stunt,ok.

Just discovered your channel and I must say it’s criminally underrated, very detailed and very entertaining. Immediately subscribed! I was always a fan of both Prince Buster and Derrick Morgan but never really knew the back story on all these singles they were releasing which now makes me love these songs even more. Also the ska wars edit with the opening scroll is top notch👌

Magnificent work, Traxploitation; well done! Despite the fact that I did not grow up in Kingston, I definitely knew of the feud-- via my father at first and then on my own into high school. In the end it was a publicity stunt in my view, but in the beginning Prince Buster was vex for real. Who won? They both did. What a great canvass that feud provided for the musical masterpieces that followed! --Æ.

I really appreciated this piece of history. All these years I never knew of this feud! All I did was listen to the songs, not knowing that they were targeted to either of these singers. I now know that the 'black head china man', was about Morgan! I used to think it was just a general social commentary, about life in Jamaica. And, all the songs you played were popular songs back in the days! I wonder if people knew that these were songs aimed at these titans, in a feud?

I would say Prince Buster is the winner. Musically & lyrically his stuff was all superior. Even the initial sax riff in question that started the feud was better musically. It might have actually been staged because they didn't sound at all the same, similar in scale, but Busters was way cooler. Does the Prince Buster song Move Over have anything to do with this feud? It has lyrics similar to Tougher that Tough.

You just need to make sure the original writer and/or publisher is notified of the cover and are paid the correct mechanical royalty. On platforms like Spotify and Deezer, these licenses are already in place and the correct fees will be deducted from any revenue and paid to the right party. If you use a different platform or make physical copies then this needs to be done manually. In my case, I will have my publisher do the necessary paperwork. Depending on what country you are in and how many copies/downloads/streams you get then you can purchase the license in advance.

That means covers are out, unless you have a written license or authorization from the artist to upload the cover to Bandcamp and grant us the rights in the terms below.

I first heard about Prince buster when I was younger and he was the group Madness big influence but forgot they took the name from Prince busters song Madness. Wow never knew The Prince had a feud with what can be perceived as maybe publicity. Like you say is there ever bad publicity. Incidentally I checked all your videos there and came across them because of the recent dua lipa case about plagiarism. The group artikal sound system who released a single in 2017, drew my attention to their song, IMO sounds better than dua lipa, however its amazing how the music industry ducks and dives and have found your videos interesting and informative, most of all I hope your voice hasn't been dubbed by anyone else without credit lol

If it was a real beef, Prince Buster was a total fool for that! Those two saxophone parts don't sound anything alike other than the double note attack. If it was real, Derrick Morgan won by clearly giving less of a damn. If it was fake though, Prince Buster wins via 30 Pieces Of Silver, an all time great ska song.

The Folkes Brothers case is actually a great story! Worthy of its own video, thanks for reminding me! I was going to do a video on why so many reggae artists didn't get paid properly and who actually got the money... the people that actually profited from the exploitation of Jamaican artists in the 60s, 70s and 80s may surprise you. Derrick Morgan said that although he released his first single in 1961 he didnt know what royalties or publishing was until 1972. Max Romeo said he has NEVER received any royalties for the "War Inna Babylon" album and the only money he got was when Jay Z and Prodigy sampled "Chase The Devil". Ive helped a lot of Jamaican artists collect money owed to them and they all tell a similar story, the Jamaican producers would tell those that asked about royalties "Your money dere ah england" so they'd go to London to the record label that licensed it and would be told either the Jamaican producer got all the money, there was no money or the money was in USA or some other wild goose chase....

@@donhue4546 probably around '61 or '62 did it evolve into ska. Fats Domino was massively popular in Jamaica so a lot of recordings in the 50's are an emulation of his style. His influence on Jamaican music cannot be stressed enough. Listen to his song "Be My Guest" and you will hear the song that likely lead to ska. Super Cat even payed tribute to him in the 90's by turning his "My Girl Josephine" into a dancehall hit..

I know both Prince Buster and Derrick Morgan in the 1960s before independence august 6 th 1962, and it was a really war between both of them. Because bad men was fighting for both of them, the difference between the two of them. That Prince Buster was born in Kingston and Derrick Morgan is from Clarendon the country and. Price Buster was more popular than Derrick Morgan, because he owns his recording studio 🎙️.It is Prince Buster helped to cut down crimes in Jamaica, when he sings the song name Judge dread and. The judges them started to give people them longer sentences, and the rude boys them attacking his car 🚗 and mashed it up.Then Prince Buster sing a song name one thousand years, to keep the boys from killing people.Anyway the two of them was two good singers, but I would give Prince Buster the edge over Derrick Morgan.
