It sums up my stance on this strange scene; 'foundation reggae' with no respect, regard or interest in the actual foundation artists/sounds and complete disregard of Jamaica. A scene by white people for white people. It's a farce that this is seen as common practice and you are supporting the complete shunning of artists/sounds who were out on the street 24/7 promoting the music we love to the massive.

Now listen up, i have been reading through this crazy thread & there is a few things that you mention that does not sit too well with me .
You mention stuff like 'oddball Geordies " You got a problem with people from there ?
Then you say people from Glasgow don't have any taste ? well I'm from there too.
All this racial stuff as well ?
& you don't like a man like Earl because of how he looks & the clothes he wears ?
How should a selecta dress ? shirt & tie ? please tell ?
I think some folks out there get a little jealous & envious when a guy out there plays old scratchy records to people.
