Je viens d'acheter son dernier album I-RATION: il est excellent!! Il est à écouter!!
Mais ce que je voudrais savoir, c'est si vous pourriez m'aider à trouver des vidéos (LIVE) de ce superbe artiste. Ou même des clips mais je pense qu'il n'a fait que le clip de I-RATION (que j'ai vu) mais on ne sait jamais!
La biographie et surtout la discographie que tu as fait sur lui sont légères je trouve
Tu dit : "En 2000, ils sortent toujours ensemble l'album Dynasty. La chanson Mother Of Creation est sur le Riddim remixé de Guess Who's Coming To Dinner."
En fait il s'agit du riddim "Leaving To Zion" de Black Uhuru, pas "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner".....

Merci à tous mais tu vois Riseupcrew, ça arrive à tout le monde de se tromper dans la vie, l'erreur est humaine!! Et je me suis très vite rendu compte que j'avais mis que le riddim était Guess Who's Coming To Dinner au lieu de Leaving To Zion et j'ai très vite rectifié. Je me suis trompé au début car ça faisait longtemps que je n'avais pas écouté l'album Guess Who's... de Black Uhuru et cette chanson m'est d'abord venue en tête mais j'ai très vite réalisé mon erreur. Désolé!! la prochaine fois j'essaieria d'éviter d'avoir le malheur de me tromper et donc de t'offenser!!
Tiens, par exemple, tu as écrit:
La biographie et surtout la discographie que tu as fait sur lui sont légères je trouve
Mais ne sais-tu pas qu'on dit: "la biographie et la discographie que tu as faitES!! Tu vois, là aussi l'erreur est humaine, no one is perfect!!
he he, j'ai comme l'impression que tu as légèrement mal pris mes petites remarques. Je t'ai juste donné des infos pour que ton "article" sur un de mes chanteur préféré ressemble plus à un article digne de ce nom qu'à une rédaction niveau 6ème.... Quand on veut parler d'un artiste, autant se renseigner avant tu crois pas ?
Bref, après tu fait bien ce que t'en veut des ces infos, c'est ton site, pas le mien
Quand à ta rectification sur le nom du riddim, ça me fait bien marrer à vrai dire
