Editorial Reviews

One of the most popular Jamaican dancehall recording stars, Shabba Ranks was one of the first West Indian singer/toaster's to gain worldwide recognition for his âslackâ lyrical expressions and content, and his gravel toned, rough-riding voice became instantly recognizible. This 1992 collection is released for the first time on DVD and besides notable videos, contains live performances and private footage from Shabba Ranks himself. The DVD will be serviced to all major music and DVD press and Shabba Ranks and related websites.

4.0 out of 5 stars A NEW FLIP-SIDE TO RAW REGGAE AT ITS BEST, August 8, 2001

By 

Henry Topping (Randolph, MA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Shabba Ranks: Naked & Ready [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Shabba Ranks is undoubtedly a pioneer in the new modern rave of raw uncut jagged edge flip side of the old conventional revolutionistic 'bob marley' type reggae. He brought to the stage a lighter, more playful demonstrative style of Jamaican form of music which incidentally took the music world by surprise. Shabba paved the way for now popular artistes such as Beenie Man, Bounty Killer, Super Cat and others, which today has crossed over nicely into a merger of the kinda American hip-hop/rap flair. In this video, his music/rap/d.j funk contains the hits :- 'World-a-Girls', 'Mr.Loverman', 'Waterbed' and so on, which will have you spellbound at its lyrical content and exciting reggae gyrating movements. A must for all rap/reggae fans and especially Shabba Ranks fans. Definitely a power house.
