A Get A Lick Riddim

Probably the strangest rhythm has got to be "A Get A Lick" from Bumps Oakley. Strange because one of the main reasons why rhythms get recut is that people like the first cut so much - people including producers. And with all the good will in the world, it's very hard to get worked up about this particular Studio One production. For starters the rhythm is anything but Rock Steady. At any certain points in the tune the rhythm tends to change its pace and then there are the awkward chord changes towards the end. Bumps does not have a bad voice, but the lyrics are a bit of a baffle. Overall this would be a very hard tune to draw inspiration from. The only other Studio One cut of the rhythm is by the Soul Brothers called "Take Ten". Having never heard this cut, it's only possible to conclude that it is an instrumental of superior quality, for inspiration was drawn from Bumps Oakley's tune/rhythm. In 1981 Ranking Joe, in combination with Jah Screw and the Roots Radics, took the rhythm and rebuilt it from its foundation. When they were finished they had a rhythm as solid as a rock. All that was left to do was for Joe to chat some lyrics over the top and title it. "Western Kingston Style" is one of Joe's great works. Sadly at the time deejay music was in one of its recessions when people lose interest in it. It wasn't until Yellowman came along that it picked up again, and by that time the "Disco Skate" album, which contained "Western Kingston Style", was all but forgotten. Over the next couple of years nothing more was heard of the "A Get A Lick Rhythm" on vinyl - on sound tapes and in the dances it was different. Occasionally on sounds like Kilimanjaro, Volcano and Gemini (it's very hard to be more precise about this) the selector would drop a raw rhythm machine driven version of it, that sounded like it was cut at one of those sessions when Lee Perry recorded Bob Marley singing "Rainbow Country" etc. Whenever this dubplate was played, the crowd would go wild. It had to be released and in 1984 it was. Shinehead's double sided disco 45 "Billie Jean" and "Mama Used To Say" was a massive hit. To get Shinehead, a virtually unknown singer/deejay from New York with a very sweet voice, to sing two big soul hits over this rough rhythm was well inspired. To top it off, the disco 45 also included two horn cuts of the rhythm, one of which used the melody line from one of Clint Eastwood's spaghetti westerns. The big mystery with this cut of "A Get A Lick" is how it ended up in New York in the hands of C. Evans and African Love Records. And is this the same African Love who run the sound system? Whatever, Shinehead and his cut of "A Get A Lick" was the first sign of the big changes coming up in the music at the time. Read the full article

Riddim driven wipe out rar

'Most High Jah' is one of the best songs Fantan Mojah ever did and a case could be made for It being the best thing this track ever did also. NOW! Even after that, if you wouldn't call one of them single BEST tune on the Rub-A-Dub, I might even agree with you. Of course I am referring to 'I Am Not Afraid' by Etana, 'Nothing To Smile About' from the Morgans and Richie Spice's 'The Plane Land'.

I can't tell you which rose the highest, because they all had very similar paths.

I really like that I can bring up three songs, all of which were massive hits, and find virtually no distinction. What you had here was a powerful and subsequently very successful creation from the dominant Roots Reggae producer of the era, Kemar 'Flava' McGregor, which so wonderfully translated from making hit songs into being a big hit album, which is, as we've seen in over 120 instances, a pretty rare occurrence. The Rub-A-Dub Riddim probably is still my choice as the finest edition of Riddim Driven of all time.

Music is supposed to be helping me write but I’m just jamming and being unproductive.

[booomwhadis]

Cedric Im Brooks & The Invaders - Ethiopia [1972]. Remake of the Java riddim, produced by Coxsone Dodd. So he recycled tunes from other producers as well, and from quite early on. Surprises me that this aspect was hardly mentioned in copyright discussions: The strength of Jamaican music, because there were no strict copyright laws preventing artists from doing creative re-interpretations (weak copycat jobs usually did not become popular).

A similar thing is going on with the community driven genres of balkan music: There is such a plenitude of really strong music because artists can do creative interpretations of existing tunes - people just get excited over the quality of music, and they love versioning (as long as it is good). While the aspect who wrote a tune in the first place is way less relevant.
