perverse lyrics1
unfortunately, the quality of the reggae here is strongly doused with hate in the lyrics. stronly non-recommended.

Best 'Best of Buju' Album5
This has boom bye bye and good lookin gal, two of bujus biggest and best hits that were never on any of his albums, plus the dickie remix wicked dicke. Bogle, Stamina Daddy, even Big it Up, are other Buju classics not available on his regular albums, so overall, its a super collection. Its basically stuff, not even just before 1995, but before the Voice of Jamaica album which came out in like 93 or something, his first "crossover" album. There were some good tracks on that that could have been "best of" tracks, including the unique Tribal War with Tony Rebel, Terry Ganzie and others and Operation Ardent, Good Body and "A Little More Time," his best duet ever with Beres Hammond. There are no Beres-buju tracks on here. I'd say its a great idea though, because his older hits are better and different from his stuff after Voice of Jamaica album, and lots of people (me included) would want an album like this.

Murder Music1
If you like homophobic murder music, you'll love this! Banton advocates killing gays and lesbians in a number of songs, and is wanted for questioning in the attack of six gay men. [...]

His song Boom Bye Bye talks about shooting gay men with Uzis as well as pouring acid on their heads. "Burn him up badly, like you would burn an old tyre wheel"
