I think after the early 90's dancehall/reggae boom, everybody who was large here in the states went back 2 touring, cause in the U.K. Canada, and the Carribean, the sound systems is a way of life

Believe it or not, Shabba's career was never the same after he was dropped by his American label. This was due to the comments he made about the Buju Banton song, "Boom, Bye, Bye". These comments were made on a British talk show and soon after he was dropped by his label.

I found some footage about that.



Here's the actual song:



In case you don't know, "Batty Boy" is Jamaican for "Faggot."

Pirates Anthem was on heavy rotation in my household in the very early 90s ( 1992 ? 1993 ? ) Still love that song. Shabba Ranks and Cocoa Tea and Home Tea did a couple of songs in the same vein at that time but I can´t remember the names of them.They sounded pretty similar to Pirate´s Anthem.

I remember when VP sent me the promo for this. Being a dj in a gay club I could not play this the song disgusted me. even still I have a few "straight" friends but to me I find this idealism appalling.
