Album Details
From the Instant the Title Track of Lucky Dube's Respect Swings Out of Your Sound System It's Clear that the Undisputed African Reggae King is Intent on Delivering an Album that Gives More Than a Small Nod to his Roots While Simultaneously Catapulting his Trademark Reggae Music Onto a Massive New Level.
Customer Reviews
a fitting album for a great musician 
lucky dube was one of the greatest reggea artists since bob marley and it's a shame we have lost him to senseless violence but such is the way of babylon anyways this album is his greatest work it's a shame we will not be able to hear what other masterpieces he could have created with this new sound that developed on this album but i do strongly recommend that you buy this album
Simply Put, Respeck !!!!
Lucky Dube is the man. I am originally from Nigeria and could not and still don't understand why it is so hard to get this album in the United States. I got my copy in Nigeria. Man it is worth it. It is not a party album full of dancing music, but a jamming, cruising and headbobbing sort of sound. I love this album, not as much as the other side, but it holds its own. Its all about peace, love and respect !!!
Not quite the final album I'd hoped for, but lyrically strong
Lucky Dube was one of my favorite artists, reggae or otherwise. But I found Respect to be somewhat of a disappointment, without the standout tracks of Prisoner or The Other Side, and without the wonderfully moving variations of Soul Taker. The pace never really changes.
The lyrics are top notch, however, and enough to make you hurt for the loss of a great man. In Celebrate Life, he sings "Some people don't know what life is worth, some people have the front row seat at the gates of hell, you could be having problems right now, but there's no problem worth your life. People fight to stay alive every day, cause they know, life is worth more than worries. So you got take what you can when you can, make the best of it." So true.
