It’s true for me as well. After listening to Midnite/Akae Beka music I can’t put any other lyrics/ music in my mind space. It’s daily for me, His music definitely keeps me balanced, focused, and forever learning ✨

VB is argubly the greatest musician to ever walk this earth. His teachings and prowess in delivering hard hitting lyrics was stupendous. I must confess that Vaughn music will forever impact the oncoming generation and his teachings will continue to guide us into the realization that in life we need to pursue Truth, Rights and justice.

Vaughn was so much more than a musician poet ect .Teacher ancient and mystic . Walking library , ethereal and majestic flow. Powerful lyrical content . What a blessing them instruments are a perfect vehicle to carry messages .. blessings more 🔥

I was crushed on November 4 2019 when I heard of his passing but anyone who was watching knew something wasn’t right. From 2015 to 2019 he dramatically aged all I can say is with all this mess going on in the world we miss Vaughn Benjamin more now than ever. Blessed Love Family

Thank you Tippy and INeverKnewTV. Most importantly thank you Tippy for clearly stating that Vaughn's works shall live for thousands of years. I highly believe that studies into his works will also be done at some point. Any book you read from the Bible to biographies of people like Albert Einstein, Benjamin Disraeli, Stephen Hawking's, Dalai Lama, Literature, Hinduism, Christianity mention it...has a reference to Vaughns works. How could one person be this knowledgeable and have the time and talent to pass on what he knew. He is truly incomparable and his mission will live on!

Wow that bit about ‘evolving relationship with his music’ is so true. His music is everlasting take different lessons every day from his music. Raise our children, build our family/ community and our interaction with the Most High on the foundations and teachings from his music. It’s more than music at this point.

@potterbat3995 Ай бұрын

All the IGrade albums were my favorite midnite albums. Tippy is so humble but part of the reason these recordings will last thousands of years is because of him too. He makes prolific reggae.

I appreciate this reasoning with Tippy speaking of the Legacy of Vaughn Benjamin and the impact of his Word, Sound & Power. I Give Thanks for being able to see Akae Beka perform twice the year of his transition. I like many gained so much from the wisdom of Vaughn. Yes Junior is right after hearing Vaughn it’s difficult to find artists whose lyrics can touch and raise the vibrations the same way. Akae Beka Livicated for iver Bless Up 💚💛❤️

I came to Vaughn late in the day, he is so overwhelming. So glad to have seen him perform this one time in Austin at Flamingo Cantina. His reverence for the Bible is an inspiration, I used to read and highlight and annotate the bible when I was a youth. Sadly I've abandoned it, because of my distaste for Christianity. Vaughn is more than a musician. I've never tried to imitate him, only be inspired, he is too much, but just what we need. Love and Respect...

@@ErrolCodling one things for certain we miss him very much now more than ever. I’m an over the road driver so I don’t get to go to shows then reason backstage. I’ve met several other owner operators from St. Croix who knew him personally. They all said how special he was. Stop making a conspiracy theory out of everything. Don’t threaten me with violence I don’t think you know me. Lastly, respect his family’s wishes.

@ErrolCodling Ай бұрын

@@TKing0580 I’m not threatening you. If you ever had spoken to Vaughn one on one you would understand what I’m talking about. There is no conspiracy theory. The whole world knew when Marley died of cancer but we are not allowed or told why Vaughn died? It was obviously a untreated cancer. The entire conspiracy problem started because the truth wasn’t told.
