Big up for this interview.......Well needed! Muscle, I'm going to tell you why you are very necessary to this culture, Smiley couldn't be interviewed on regular TV, he needed this type of Platform where you allow artists to open up and you being so understanding of that, you never interrupt them and you readjust your questions and get them out regardless without disrupting the flow
Blessings again muscle, another great great one, grow up listening to their music, give thanks for once again bringing these veterans to tell their stories 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
An extremally highly riveting and informative interview from a real survivor . A very quick 2.43.34 mins indeed. Big Up Muscle Head Big Up Smiley. Yuh Large...
Michigan & Smiley Made me love reggae music more and more as a young boy when i saw dem on sun splash on tv . thanks muscle great job we need a tv show with you doing your great works inna real life .
Want to thank muscle so much for interview.All I have to say that both Michigan and smiley greatest combinator.it’s amazing what goes on in the business I always see dem both as good brothers but on a positive note thank you both for your great contribution to the music
Rub a Dub Style is still one of the greatest Albums to ever come out of Jamaica, I remember when my Brother Who’s in Zion purchased that Album, it was his 1st recording Album he ever bought with both Mitchigan & Smiley on the album cover in their tracksuits & Clarks, man that was and still is iconic, I swear I think that album was hitting for like 2 to 4 years straight!
Greetings from across the pond Great Mussill.....please get Mitchy 😀 👍 on a interview.....wish we could have a listen 🎶 from him.....keep up the works......Rastafari bless 🙌....
You could be roots branch leaf or stem we all rock together as Jah jah children, those lyrics are powerful because he was saying black or white, or whatever we should all get along, one love jam down. I enjoyed this interview, he struggle with his speech a bit but he gave us a lot of information
I remember King Ishant Sound. Heard them play once in May Pen around 1980. King Ishant was the first Sound i heard play Mighty Diamonds - Heads Of Goverment dat same night.
right now they just copy american style beats don't they? "Trap". repetitive jarring high hates and warped bass-lines with no good rhythm or bounce like they used to. it's embarrassing We just played our little sound at bristol carnival... We only held a crowd while playing the proper original yard sounds. Gregory, bitty mclean, D brown and dem supm deh the people dem rally love dem no wah we stop play
@@dreambaked1024 Continue to keep it real. I have noticed that the young men in Europe are more interested in playing traditional reggae than than the yutes a yard
@@bundown5463 Everything Americans do Jamaicans love to copy like it will Americanise dem or suppen. We were already born creative and didnt need to follow anyone, Remember Ska was ours and even our own Unique Reggae. Now i can see tings like Oral Sex they start to promote in dat trap Music or whatever they call it. Take a look at di vibes Trap Music create. It just talk about hate, badmind, oral sex, guns, murder and tings dat are negative. Sometime fights break out or people get shot. Its not talking about Africans getting mistreated or murdered or we need a better system change. Its feeding our souls with a negative energy. Not anything uplifting or positive.
@@hungchung2726 Seen, and the copying of this American BS is killing our culture, making the yute dem depraved and evil: no feeling or care for our fellow men, they have lost touch with with their roots. No one talk about exploitation, systemic racism anymore.
Love Mitchy and Smiley saw them performing next up my house in Greenwich Town. Sad they r no longer speaking. Nice up the Dance tear up the place!! No Smiley …what about Big Youth Althea and Donna so many DJ before u guys.
I believe Smiley. I use to attend Tivoli high with Michigan. At the time I was in the 8th grade and he Michigan was in the 11th grade. I went to visit my brother one day, he was in the same grade as Michigan. This older guy hold me and said, "una little youth always a come ova ya come give trouble". You believe Michigan a big artist at the time would tell the boy fi let the youth go, no Michigan tell the boy fi throw me down the stairs. I then started to cry and the boy kick me in my behind and let me go. I will never forget that incident. I saw that old fool at a Tivoli high reunion about 3 years ago, and I could have hurt him, I am not like that. Michigan a wicked long time.
You learn more about nature, and that's very important 👌,.Grand parents always us more than most parents ❤, and in the country side we explore alot of places 😀😊.
Big up Muscle, you keep finding the legends. Michigan need to cone and clear the ir on some things. I really don't like these allegations. It seem like Smiley is having a speech impaired..he keep repeating what he's trying to say. His memories seem doubtful. Keep up the good work Muscle..one love!
That's the way smiley speaks, he stuttered from I have known him since early 80s. My name is (Chicken chest recording artiste) I'm a very good friend of both Michigan and Smiley, honestly I don't think smiley is making up any story, he's one of the realist artiste I have ever known just like Peter metro my mentor. STAY STRONG MI BREDA SMILEY.
I went ton the same school as Michigan, and some times I would see Michigan & Smiley walking together. Smiley would be wearing a broad black hat and Michigan would wear a beret...
We must always bear in mind that there are three sides to a story; your side, my side and the truth. So whatever allegations are being propagated in this interview, let's not be quick to jump to conclusions. It's only fair that we hear what the other party has to say. Whatever is being alleged, let's take it with a grain of salt.
He said Michigan attended Tivoli Gardens High School. I don't know his life story, but Anthony Fairclough (Michigan) and I used to be at Kingston Senior School. We were into the school cadet force. Michigan was a Staff Seargent. He graduated before me, so I don't know at what point he went to Tivoli, because Senior School is a high school just like Tivoli. Anyways, I would love to hear Michigan side of the story.
@@chestbrown2134 I am not disputing. But when was that though? For years he was at Kingston Senior School. When I joined the cadet force as a much younger youth, he was a Staff Seargent. And I almost sure he graduated in grade 11. Smiley was trying to remember some reggae artists from Fletchers Land at the time. Kingston Senior School is exactly on the border with Fletchers Land, so for sure I know Gregory Isaacs was from there.
Interesting revelations from Smiley yet typical hungry belly yardie behavior allegedly exhibited by Michigan...in my very limited interaction with him he appeared annoyed at the mere mention of smiley's name...he never elaborated on what caused the rift and I never questioned him any further and we just kept on playing dominoes...all the while chanting word for word the lyrics of Diseases and Rub a Dub Style that the DJ decided to play in honor of his presence with us...
@@jomohector5274 I am finding out that he has had some serious therapy from being in a motor vehicle accident so I think Muscle just allowed it ....his therapy was not just physical ....I was surprised to see this because a popular radio show was sending condolences and reported that he was dead .
General smiley, sounds like an old man losing his speech coordination, due to his inability to speak fluently. If he could just speak like a Jamaican it would be a better interview. Trying too hard to sound like an Americano. Chat yardie style. SMH. Boring as hell.
Chad please stop çause you don't know your were not there and lest your or Michigan on here as Chad don't say smiley is la lot more that smiley don't bring up Michigan argument to me is smiley must let go of the long time things so Chad if you're Michigan on here you know am not lying
smiley don't talk a lot and he's very humble and Michigan did him bad very wrong a one point I have to call him and curse him out you all have the right to you. all options but smiley is not lying on him he did smiley dirty very dirty

Back then, primary school ended at grade 6. Grade 8 was either all-age or secondary school. Man, in my days, Michigan and Smiley was everything!
Take me back to my youthful days.
Smiley is one of the very few that's talks eloquently, intelligent, one can see this man talks from the heart.
Man educated from dem time until now
Michigan & Smiley was among my favourite deejays as a youngster growing up. Big Bad Duo.
Wow! I loved their music as a child. I've often wondered what happened to them. Thanks for sharing.

Great interview from a true Don, a great and humble teacher, a very intelligent and wise elder, and a true man of love. Big up the General...blessed.
Seen Muscle, looking forward to this spot. Basically all of us young men back then had a Michigan and Smiley tune as a favourite.
Maximum respect family 👊🏾
I was about 7 when I started tuning into dancehall music and my first introduction to the music was through Michigan and Smiley and Tappa Zoukie.
I was 12 chatting Michigan & Smiley best duo eva
Please General, come to Chicago!
Big Up Muscle... you need a Michigan episode now
Wow real Epic, so much history, just sad things are the way they are, so many hits.
Thx for genuine interview
this interview is very confusing . but i'm still listening

Yes great vibes
Man you a talk like you nuh know what you saying
But you guys is my favorite DJ anyway I still love the songs you guys,one love jam down
Good to see Smiley i wouldnt know who is this person if i did not heard the name....i use know all the lyrics of their big songs in Jamaica
Blessup smiley a God wi seh
Jamaica longs to hear you both.The best DJ duo ever.Echo Vibration was great.
I was at that Sun Splash,1980,Gregory Issac and I also remembered Rudy Thomas as well,They used to live around The Scheme in Central Village.
Muscle, enjoyed this interview to the max. So sad that Michigan stole Smiley's money and put a rift in my favorite DJ duo of all time. It's a pity...
I really think he should interview Michigan to get the other side of the story.
The man
I remember King Ishant Sound. Heard them play once in May Pen around 1980. King Ishant was the first Sound i heard play Mighty Diamonds - Heads Of Goverment dat same night.
Yes i would say 95% of 70s 80s & 90s Riddims are Studio One make over. Right now Dancehall is missing those Unique Sounds.
Facts
right now they just copy american style beats don't they?
"Trap". repetitive jarring high hates and warped bass-lines with no good rhythm or bounce like they used to. it's embarrassing

Nuff respect Smiley and Muscle
Until l heard this interview I thought papa smiley was dead...jamaica best duo intelligent lyrics..
I thought I was the only one that heard that he died ....I'm pleasantly surprised...
Yes there were rumors going around that he died in a car crash years ago.
Love Mitchy and Smiley saw them performing next up my house in Greenwich Town. Sad they r no longer speaking. Nice up the Dance tear up the place!! No Smiley …what about Big Youth Althea and Donna so many DJ before u guys.
It wasn’t 1982 ,The Accident happened ,It was later than that.
Good job guys

Need the other half of the interview
I went ton the same school as Michigan, and some times I would see Michigan & Smiley walking together. Smiley would be wearing a broad black hat and Michigan would wear a beret...
Miss you brother from school days .
I'm surprised he never mentioned the times on Echo Vibration from Grenage farm/St. Mary..Dexter sound.
You're smart. I left Echo Vibration and Creation days for Michigan if / when I get a chance to sit with him 👊🏾

Mr Konshus, Michigan is someone I know and if you every ask him about Smiley he have nothing to say.
he is not. lying on Michi that boy is AA punk smiley is talking the truth

Michigan go Tivoli school
He did attend Tivoli
Yes he also went TG and play football for then as a Goalkeeper
@@chestbrown2134 I am not disputing. But when was that though? For years he was at Kingston Senior School. When I joined the cadet force as a much younger youth, he was a Staff Seargent. And I almost sure he graduated in grade 11.

MICHIGAN WENT
TO TIVOLI SCHOOL
HE WAS A GOAL KEEPER
IN MANNING CUP MATCH
I KNOW HIM PERSONALLY
BECAUSE I USE TO ATTEND
TIVOLI COMPREHENSIVE
Good to see Smiley is still alive. His memory, coherence and articulation is somewhat off. He destroyed his career with bad life choices.
You sound like a Pagan

Maximum Rrrespek muscle
The other sound system was 🤴 king skippy hifi from the same union area general smiley forgotten about that one him and mitcigan worked on that sound
muscle greetings...find Michigan.
This was kind of a difficult interview to listen to. General Smiley, great performer, but not very good with interviews.
ME NO HEAR SMILEY MENTION NTN ABOUT BASIC IN A CALI
Bob wasn't married to Cindy Breakspeare as he was already married to Rita.
I hear some nonsense said also too
Yeah Smiley made a mistake; Cindy was 1 of Bob's side piece
I am sure he is speaking metaphorically...
Muscle should’ve corrected him there but we all knew what he meant when he said the rysto and the dreadlocks, but they weren’t married.
@@jomohector5274 I am finding out that he has had some serious therapy from being in a motor vehicle accident so I think Muscle just allowed it ....his therapy was not just physical ....I was surprised to see this because a popular radio show was sending condolences and reported that he was dead .
Sasafras say dem thief that song from him ,disease song
They stole nice up the Dance from Jah Mickey, Peter Metro said it in an interview and I heard JAH Mickey, also said it, recently in an interview
..
Yes ...the theme and the style stolen but the lyrics wasn't and was much better than what they originate .
General smiley, sounds like an old man losing his speech coordination, due to his inability to speak fluently. If he could just speak like a Jamaican it would be a better interview. Trying too hard to sound like an Americano. Chat yardie style. SMH. Boring as hell.
Need to hear what michegan has to say, but apparently being a crook I somewhat doubt it.
Doesn’t surprise me in the least. Having a great name doesn’t mean having a great character. I would say more but will hold off.
he is a thief bout crook him a thief
SMILEY NAA TELL NO LIE
Smiley need to stop it all lies, Michigan on alot of shows and interviews as I wite this text, and never call is name not even 1 times.
My take on the conversation he talks about Michigan is not true. If you know Michigan in person, Smiley is lieing it's all lies nothing but lies.
I know it all lies , all not Smiley don’t why he never go back go Jamaican … all not that man don’t have a green card he need to talk about that
smiley is not lying he did take the money more than once and he did talk bad about smiley
Chad please stop çause you don't know your were not there and lest your or Michigan on here as Chad don't say smiley is la lot more that smiley don't bring up Michigan argument to me is smiley must let go of the long time things so Chad if you're Michigan on here you know am not lying

Boi smiley can’t do good interviews
Smiley stuttered worst in high school. His effort to do this was great. Give the man a chance, he did great.
