Just seeing him reminds me of the 90s. The 90s were a special time there was enough room for everyone. Reggae/dancehall, R&B, House music, Rock, Pop, and of course Hip hop/Rap.
Preach
Agreed
Nostalgia for sure. Brings me back to when my only concern was watching music videos ALL DAY lol.
Yup, I listened to it all and am better for it. People are shocked by my catalog of musical knowledge, but I grew up in the 90s… MTV, BET, and VH1 baby-when they played music
Yes the 90s was the best time of all the centurys
I’m so glad someone is finally doing this story very underrated
Funny just listening to his material they need a vs battle between shabba and Sean paul.
@@arthurrobinson4644 Not a good match.Two different era's.
Indeed. His style is unmatched.
@@jamaicanqueen718 Agreed!
Undisputed king of ragga
The fact that he kept his home a home with one wife and kids....I give him a huge RESPECT. I remember Shabba well in the 90s. Loved his music.
yes indeed. there is still some men who stay w/one woman in the music industry. some of them have 10, 20 kids with different women and i dont understand that, then when they pass away, things go wrong with the dividing of monies left by the passed parents. such a sad state of affairs
The part about one wife and fathering all his children by her, gave me a new respect for Shabba. Its also refreshing to see the maturity over time
This is actually what struct me also, i really do respect him for that
He was the ugly brother. Not many women would want to father children with him, not especially when you thought of getting a girl child.
And, the respect he has for his mother and father, and giving them the credit for showing him the best way.
@@hiphopjewels
True!
That's kind of a low bar if this is what makes you respect someone
I was wondering why both Shabba and Patra were seemingly snubbed at the BET Awards. I respect and applaud their reasons for not participating.
If you watched the video you know why
@@kinglord7707 the comment was written in past tense. As they were wondering in the past. The follow up statement shows they watched the video, understand and respect it.
Me too! If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.
BET lost out by cheaping out.
@@dreadams3207 Thank you for breaking it down for King Dumb A**, so I wouldn't have to.
I remember Shabba being huge when I was kid. You would hear his music blasting in peoples cars. He and Patra basically introduced Dancehall to a lot of people in the US. I always wondered what happened to both of them. Glad to see him still living well. They both need too drop new music
I remember Patra, what happened to her?
Truth Indeed
@@rashaunjones1027 I just saw a What Happened to Patra? From this channel in my recommendations. She still looks great from other videos I've seen of her within the past couple of years.
@@Ms_T_Perfectly_Imperfect ,really well that is good to know.I knew she rocked the dance halls
Exactly we loved their music and wondered what happened. How this nasty music industry try to groom ppl into what they want and then take them out the spot light away from their fans, if they don't conform. I'm so sorry this happened to him and sooooo many others. That is a very manipulative business I tell you. To see all this. Too many have the same story for it to be lies
One wife since 1992 and only mother to his kids. 👏👏👏
Cancelled cuz he didnt play n2 the stereotype of black menz of low/no restraint r delayed gratification. #ClapItUp 👏👏👏
Inspirational man.
With all the temptation and options he must have had its really nice to see and hear.
Men usually praise guys who are players and women go for them regardless so with his power and ability to have any woman he wanted he could have had 10 plus kids and several baby moms and caused dysfunctional relationships
That’s usually most Carribean and African families. It’s Blk Americans who that see to have this problem, and normalize it.
@@inmyelementblue7186 cease yo shit. Niggaz r niggaz no-matter what flag they fly. But what u NOT gon do is try n malign Black Americans wit yo shit. If u cant say nuthn nice (fair) jus sitcho azz n the corner n b quiet.
#AbsolutelyNoDisrespect
✊🏽💪🏽
I love Shabba!!! He stood for what he believed and ppl hated him for that.
He’s definitely underrated. Dave Chappelle was right.
he didn’t stand tho he apologized
@@TheYungPrince Yes, for the violence that resulted from people misusing his statements. HE NEVER APOLOGISED FOR HIS TRUTH!!!
@@TheYungPrince I agree, he definitely contradicted his self.
@@RashidLanie8 Nah cuz he made a song called No Mama Man and that song he wanted gays dead. He apologized because he was losing money
Nah, he wasn't really underrated, the dude was huge for a minute, then he got cancelled.
I love how he handled himself when it comes to his family! One woman. No outside kids!
Just imagine if most of the men in the Black community thought like this..
I wish most men from our communities had this kind of mentality. Wish they were more manly, masculine, family oriented, one woman men...
@@melissasmith1322 you’re so ignorant 😩
Take notes Nick Cannon, Future, & Fetty Wap!
ME TOO.That's someone who's very MATURE and taught by his mother.
As a Caribbean gal, I can tell you that we still scream *SHABBA* when Champion Lover plays. Yes he came from the ghetto and was pushy but he was one who showed that dreams can definitely be achieved.
@@natsohigh5552 I am here hollering cause it's true 😩
Missa lovahman dem call mi missa lovahman!!
@@natsohigh5552 yes
@@smellmybush yesssss I loved his accent 😍
@@natsohigh5552 I do and I didn't forget maxi saying it either it was the same take from housecall that was used on mr loverman.
As a Caribbean Hispanic 🇵🇷 Shabba was one of my heroes as a kid pre-reggaeton
I'm sooooo glad I'm not the only "1 woman" man in the world. Brothers, this is nothing to be ashamed of, love your woman AND family. True happiness is loving and being loved. Wonderful video
Something that hurts me as an Afrikan is how people clowned him on his looks. As a kid watching in living colour call him “ugly man” hurt me
Michael Mengo you right brother
Agreed. Shabba was and is a beautifully melanated man!
Was thinking the same thing! Some Black folks will do anything for a joke not knowing how that can effect that man and his family!
@@tysmith2138 yep especially those Wayne brothers ..
Yeah that bothered me ..u had a lot of black american comedians making jokes about how he looked but truly it has nothing to do with his looks more so his skin color ..
I miss when dancehall was popular. It’s still popular in my home. Such good memories 😌
Dancehall still popular..We just giving them Afrobeats artist their 10 mins of fame since as they wanna act like us
Dancehall is still popular. It’s just been whyte washed like every other genre of black music.
@@TheLovesnowangel white washed how ??
Wow. I am so full of respect for Shabba. One would have thought that he would have 10 baby mama's, but all his children from one woman? That's commendable.
I still bump SHABBA on my playlist to this day! ❤️👑
Yasss nothing like seeing our Jamaican people doing good still. Dancehall will forever be apart of my life. 😎🇯🇲
For real.
When will I visit Jamaica, from Kenya
I don’t blame Shabba or Patra regarding the bet incident. Some ppl do have a pride about their craft and self. Good for them. Respect to them both
Truth Indeed You have to stand up for something.
@@adriennerobinson1180 Facts
Agree
So true.. last week bet contact him for pass the Mic he turn it down he's one of the few artiste from here don't frighten for big accolades..✌✌
A Reggae Verzuz with Shabba Ranks would be Epic!
Keep up the great work beautiful sending love from Houston Texas
👊
Mr. Loverman, Twice My Age, Housecall, Trailer Load a Girls, Ting-a-Ling, Slow & Sexy, The Jam and Let's Get it On are my favorite Shabba Ranks songs of all time!!
You took it way back I love it
Twice my age came out when I was 6. I didn’t understand the context of the song but mi still a sing. His songs always bring back good memories. Big up Shabba. King of the dancehall.
The whole album shabba rapping with the ladies was good.. nice bass sound and a song that a lot of people don't know is " tell me which one" very nice song
Ok .. now I'mma be singing Mr lover man 👞 in my brain 🧠 for a while ugh 😫😭
This is a real blow to his career and and no wonder his music career as never come back like it happened back in the 1990s.
*90's Dancehall/Reggae was & still is the last great decade for music it's unmatched* 🥇
Definitely unmatched 💯💯 the greatest era for reggae & dancehall
Pure truth!!!!
👍🏾
👍🏽
Friday nights at the Underground night club in NYC were great memories.
Watching this made me miss reggae music. Shabba was a big deal when i was a kid. I think he amazing. God bless him.
Thanks for Highlighting a music legend!! The 90’s was and still is everything!!!! Big up Shabba & Big Up Jamaica 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Never knew he was such a stand-up dude. The persona was that he was a hard-core player. Kudos to him for staying true to himself.
A stand up bigot? Not possible
Shabba Ranks is my favorite dancehall artist of all time!! SHABBA!!
My 2nd crush as a teenager 😘🥰😍 not the best looking man but his confidence drew me in. Wow, never knew he stayed in NY!!! This man is a dance hall legend for sure🙏🏿 great video!!! #peaceandblessings
A Real ENTERTAINER, that represented what he believed in his FAITH. 🙏🏽♥️💯
I'm a born and bred Jamaican, and I must say, it Feels good seeing this.
Yes!
I’m
Puerto Rican and a former DJ. I used to play Dem Bow at ALL my parties and the floor would go nuts. Real music has no color.
I heard her mention it but what exactly is it?
I can still feel the bass in my chest! Theeeee bessst!
Yessss
Dem bow ..yes and el general came with son bow
@@redman0148ify Dem Bow is a song talking about a sexual act. The Riddim was used as the original raggaton
This segment was very well done. I love his conviction, integrity and values. The entertainment industry discourages being unapologetic, it leads to being canceled. But when you speak God's word, His truth, God will bless and keep you. Shabba is a blessed man. Happy birthday King. (1/17/22)
There is no one like SHABBA. Back in the day, every time I played Ting-a-Ling-a Ling in our car, my toddler would repeatedly shout out the window, SHABBA. I just love him...we all miss you Shabba Ranks. I especially loved his collaborations with Maxi Priest and Johnny Gill, "Keep it slow and Sexy". Kudos to Shabba for honoring his Mom and being a devoted husband besides father.
Patra is another melanin beauty with her rich husky delivery in Worker Man. I loved Queen of the Pack and Romantic Call.
Live your best life. I am a devoted fan 4ever!!!
Omg! “Ting-a-ling“ was the banga in the clubs! When that song came on it was absolute madness, Man I miss those days!!!
OMG,YES
Much love and respect! He had standards and didn’t sell out…..SHABBA!!!
LoL had nothing to do with that buju just caused a lot of controversy with that song..shabba couldn't apologize enough too the happy 😁😁 community..they went on to end his career.. one thing I respected about him was he didn't go bitching and blaming buju.. dudes just moved to CT and raised his kids ..he still don't get royalty checks Bec they don't play his music on American radio or in any tv commercials or movies or tv shows. ..
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏽
Cost him big
Mark Laing I agree but at the same time it's not for me to judge any one no matter what I might think personally.the way I see it I'm not gay having said that people have the right to choose whoever they want to choose it's absolutely none of my business whatsoever!
@@charisse234 right on point!!! Key word…..CHOOSE!
Big up from Guyana 🇬🇾. I was listening to him in high school senior year and as a West Indian, reggae is a staple. Dancehall is its own genre and it should it holds its own respect. It's come a far way. Hope he comes back 🙏.
I saw him at Brent Town Hall in 1989, he arrived 2 hours late, performed 3 songs, got booed, then bottled off the stage, but I still love his music, he was awesome ❤ .
That was before he became a super star
I miss Shabba! He's that dude! Amazing memories from that time. His songs still Hit Different from anything on the radio now. I see u legend!
Shabba came out with some very memorable jams!
I remember as a teenager how I used to dance Shaba’s “wata bam! bam!!” in the early nineties. His music was in every corner of my country - Nigeria. It’s so sad that the evil system of this world destroyed Shaba’s career just because he spoke the truth guided by the Word of God. Definitely the cancel culture began long ago.
Shabba what a bam bam🙄
😂
This was so B O M B! Gesssshhhh love love loved it. Thankq. Great Symposium. Well researched
His parents raised him the right way! I continue to jam to his music!
Thanks so much for this! Love Shabba
Yoooo his song “Your body can’t lieeee to me”, I played it so much I can feel Shabba spiritually rolling his eyes at me
🤣🤣
I don't blame you.😂 The jam is 🔥🔥🔥
@@JuicyPopEntertainment 😂😂 yesss
Housecall w/Maxi Priest. Yep, still dope to this day.
This was awesome! Great job!! Shabba is who made me fall in love with Dancehall. That voice shook me to my core. So glad he’s doing well and still making music even if we don’t get to hear it. ❤️
NOTHING BUT LOVE AND RESPECT FOR THIS MAN
Much love to you and family.
We jammed to Shaba in the 90’s in college! He truly brought Dancehall to all the Black American kids like myself! Nothing but love! 🦾🦾
Shabba is the Boss! I'm Jamaican so I grew up listening to many of his hits . He was just comical to me and very talented...love yuh Shabba! You're an icon!
I am so glad I saw this! Thanks for posting this!
We all love to see it, it takes us back to one of the best eras the 90s.. I still listen to him and Patra.. He was def underrated but brought that vibe we all loved and appreciate today. I truly miss these days.. Thank you as always for doing these stories.
I am so impressed with Shabba!!! Kudos to him he was definitely raised right! He will always be a legend!!
Raised right😂 lol ok let’s pretend his sleazy lyrics don’t exist
Much respect to this man.
Facts ❤ 💯
Yes indeed 🙏🏾
11:50 Awwww! ❤️🥺❤️ That video had me hooked I don’t usually watch videos to the end. But I did this time.
Thanks for posting this! I love Shabbat Ranks, and still listen to him to this day.
SHABBA RANKS will always be in his own lane and one of the kings of true dancehall reggae music‼️🏆👉🏽👨🏾
FACTS ‼️ and im proud of him ‼️
Shabba is my all time favorite Jamaican Reggae Artist. In my hood Shabba made Jamaicans look cool with more swag than some of the rappers we looked up to. If I'm not mistaken Shabba Ranks was one of the first Reggae Artist to ever go Platinum 🤷🏽♂️
Nope Bob Marley went platinum 15 times. Shabba is a great artist tho.
He is not a damn reggae artist ,smh
@@jaxcoss5790 Shabba is dancehall,not reggae ,, Americans just feel that they can call our music whatever they want to.
still listening to his music to this day. I have lived through jungle, gangster rap, hip-hop, niche, dance, trance, grime, drum and bass, dubstep and all the shit in between. I have never heard music/lyrics that come close.
Shabba Ranks is a legend. I respect his religious views on homosexuals, he was unfairly treated for his comments on the word. Big dutti stinkin shabba!
Shabba Ranks is a Legend. 👑✊🏾👌🏾🔥 He paved the way for ALL Dancehall Artists. It is because of Shabba Ranks that Dancehall Reggae gain international notoriety. "Trailer Load of Girls" is what led me to fall in love with Dancehall music.
A story on reggae singer Cutty Ranks who sang The Stopper would be very interesting
Finally a story on Shabba Ranks!!
Love you Shabba for staying true to your beliefs. “To thine own self be true”. God bless you man of faith. ❤️❤️❤️
Shabba Ranks was the reason I discovered dancehall. Telephone Love was the longest tape with one sound but his version was banging!
I never stopped supporting the Grammy King! & I’m happy Shabba & Patra said No to Viacom aka MTV no
I remember as a kid in the early 90s, how hype my big brother was about Shabba Ranks! I remember how hype everybody was. I also remember skits about him on In Living Color too🤣 It was truly a dope time to be alive.
I bet skit was fu nny 😅
I Love you Shabba...Please write more amazing dance hall music!!!
Whew Chile YASSSSSS 🎶🤸🏿♀️🎶 Bless you for your wonderfully nostalgic informative videos ❣️
I remember him when I was little... on " The Box" music channel
The box❤❤❤
Yasss the Box!
Me too the box was 🔥🔥🔥
Big ups to him for having they special love for his mother.
I'm sorry this happened to him where he was dropped. He should have stood his ground. Love his songs. A lot of women loved Shabba Ranks. God You Shabba,You should make a comeback soon.
You cannot stand your ground, the LGBT+ will cancel you, look at J k Rowling she stood her ground they canceled her just for telling the truth.
Only women menstruate, which she is just stating a biological fact, yet they canceled her.
@@jameswatson5807 I understand what you are saying. I still would love stood their ground.
@@adriennerobinson1180 Bro politician's are afraid to answer a simple question what is a definition of a woman.
Because upsetting the transgender community can gets you fired from your job, the singer Adele accused of transphobia for saying 'I love being a woman😁.
She is very lucky they have not cancelled her, we are living in strange times that telling the truth about this identity nonsense standing your ground will cost you your lively hood.
They did not go just after Shaba they went hard on all the dance hall artists, imagine if they never asked shabba his thoughts on the gay ting.
He would have been much bigger, I have no doubt about that
@@jameswatson5807 Yes,Truth Indeed AMEN. This 🌎 is upside down.its disgusting and Dangerous. Lord help us.
@@adriennerobinson1180 But here is the problem the dance hall artists cause this on themselves.
Because the incited the killing of gays, here is the thing Jamaica is not unique that the idea of gay relations is wrong.
There are Approximately 2.38 billion people practice some form of Christianity globally. This means that about one-third of the world's total population is Christian.
And then you have 1.9 billion Muslims so that means most people are not for gay gay relations, some people say America is a batty man country that is wrong.
liberal America is pro batty man conservative America is not for it, each states have their own law, there are 8 states that are very anti batty man, gay people cannot get married in those states.
The state’s sex education program mandates that “classes must emphasize, in a factual manner and from a public health perspective, that homosexuality is not a lifestyle acceptable to the general public and that homosexual conduct is a criminal offense under the laws of the state.”
And that is just Alabama there are 7 more states just like it, so the idea of thinking the gay ting is wrong that is ok, but what the dance hall artists did they crossed the line when they promoted the killing.
It is ok saying that behind closed doors but once you say that in public that's it, Muslims kill gays but they keep quiet about, even here in the UK not every one supports the gay ting.
Plenty feel that it is wrong, but they just let them be, because to mess with them would cause unwanted problem's for that person.
Especially loved the end where he spoke about his parents❤❤
SHABBA!!!
True Dancehall LEGEND!! 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Patra was absolutely my girl during this era. Please do a feature on her! ♥️👸🏾
someone already did a video on her, do a search for "what happened to patra"
@@MontegoBayTechTalk thanks!
In Uganda 🇺🇬 he changed our music💪😎
I was obsessed with him as a kid! He was like a Jamaican deity in my neighborhood!
His voice was shaking roofs,true deity.
His belief in God would’ve advised you not to treat him as one
@@Breal191y’all are exhausting! Go read the Bible or something. I believe in God too, I was a KID. Calm down
@@yungReparations God bless you brother.
It’s because I read the Bible that I wrote what I did.
It’s a LOVERS DAY… SHAABA!!!
You just took me back to the memory lane. The 90’s was so special and classical.
I would love to see stories on Born Jamericans, The Coup, The Conscious Daughters, Lil Zane, 3T, Lisa Stansfield, Karyn White, the Mo Thugs Family, etc.!
Karyn has a video about her in rrg here in youtube plus an unsung episode
Born Jamericans was interesting.
Yes Mo Thugs
Lil Zane LMFAO 🤢🤮😵

Shabba’s music got me into reggae big time as a teen. It was a dream for me when I got to finally meet him years later. He is a real gent.
SHABBA is definitely in my playlist 🎧 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🇯🇲
I love me some shabba, mr lover man and house call is my favorite.
I loved this video, great insight to Shabba. I leaned so much and have a new found admiration for him!
Great video!! It was good to see Mr. LuvaMan, Shabba!! 💕💯💯
Amazing Talent! Great memories of seeing him at the Jamaica Reggae Sun Splash There will never be another Shabba!
I swear we don’t deserve these damn uploads, I always be getting my life: thanks for these 🥰
Met Shabba Ranks in Toronto with his posse. Saw him in concert during his Golden Touch tour. Bought a shirt that said punnany affi kill mi dead lol! Shabba Ranks has many, many great songs. Shabba!
Respect 👑👑👑 I always loved you your music before. But after listening to your story... I love you all the more. Peace and blessings be upon you king forever 🙏🙏🙏
Mighty... Mighty black Man.
This speaks eloquence about the kind of world we are living in. He merely states the fact and the whole world turns against him.
Exactly! What a sad world we live in!
The World we are. That was what killed TB Joshua too
Imagine just for speaking the truth they destroyed his career that is why the music industry is evil!
Truth be told
I DIDN'T TURN CAUSE HE WAS CORRECT.
Much respect to this brother, never knew him like this.
HUGELY UNDERRATED ARTIST MAN…. One of my most favorite DeeJays right along with Patra and Lady Saw!
I think it was a beautiful commentary. Keep up the good work.
I love Shabba Ranks! Thanks for the great video!
Thank you for showcasing Jamaican artist, Shabba.
So he was cancelled before Cancel Culture was a thing. Man that's crazy I didn't even know about that. Shabba is definitely a legend.
I didn't know this either. Ugh
"A legend?" He was a one album wonder. Since when does that get legendary status?
@@philosoraptor2285 He is without a doubt a legend, he got huge classics like pirate anthem, shine eye gal, roots & culture, Rough life, ting a ling, don't test me & much more. Sounded also the best on hip hop mixes, on nobody was better on smooth songs like let's get it on. he is definitely one of the biggest dancehall legends
@@inigo9000 I 2nd That!
Sir, cancel culture has always been around. It’s just more prevalent because of social media.
Look at what happened to Sinéad O’ Connor or Milli Vanilli. Many artists and other celebrities got cancelled back then because of things they said.
And i love how asap ferg made a song named after him & he is on the remix💯💫
Awesome video! Thank you!
Beautiful, insightful video! I grew up loving dance Hall and never knew these things about Shabba Ranks. Much respect to him.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks for covering our legendary artist
That voice!!!
Trailer load of girls was the first song I ever heard of him. I immediately became a fan, and it just got better.
“Muscle grip” and “rude boy” are my favorite’s.
Listening to his lyrics, I honestly never expected him to be such a Godly man.
That just made it better.
I’m from Curaçao, where we listen, dance and love music from around the world.
Stay safe Shabba!!!
Shaaba Rank one of the underrated son of Reggae. Thanks for this, very informative
I don't know much about dance hall so I haven't heard of him but am enjoying the video
Man dude Shabba stayed clean right, his fits were always on point, so good to see that he's doing well
Truth Indeed
dang! used to play "mr loverman" record during my dj years ..
Seeing him make me remember entertainment at senior high school, SUTESCO,abenfo for real
