  • Though absent from the local scene for nearly 20 years, Shabba Ranks has always retained pre-eminence in the nucleus of Dancehall. After years of calling, Sumfest finally got the nod from the Ranks for it's 20th anniversary staging to make only his second appearance on home soil in two decades, the last being sashing in 2001.The Dancehall emperor arrived on the island to a welcome befitting a true superstar and graces our stage right now.

    Listening to him, I was in my teenage years when his Mom got baptized at my cousin's church in Seaview Gardens. I couldn't see him as the church members crowded around him. His Mom was a stalwart member, bought my cousin shirt for his wedding, plus chaperone them in the Mercedes Benz Shabba bought her. She was such a kind lady...fast forward to years later, I took in his Show at Sashi, he stole the whole show, P Diddy was there, and he said if he didn't get pay, he would leave Shabba to close the show...real performer..

    This was a very refreshing, invigorating, nostalgic interview. I too am, and always was a huge fan of the "great Shabbat Ranking" aka " Emperor Ground". My daughter sent me the link for me to watch. She knows how much I talk about how real authentic " Dancehall" music was and how much I loved it. Seeing Shabba himself talk about those days and the dedication and passion it took to even establish yourself as an artist set him above the rest made me feel humanly connected to the vibe he was on.
    As for today's music, I sway mostly towards Rasta reggae music. The tree still dehya, but it needs fresh water.
    Nuff respect to the 1 and only Emperor Ground.

    Wow......the morals, principles AND basic values of this man could be given as a “how to LIVE” guide for many of todays youths
    Has one woman who he evidently cherishes AND she comes from the same place he grew up,
    Wakes his sons out of bed every morning, takes good care of his mother, respects his elders, Cooks food for the family and does not lead a party lifestyle in general
    Now juxtaposed with today’s dancehall Dj’s of which the most successful is currently languishing in a prison cell having sacrificed destroyed and squandered it ALL !
    Doesn’t it all but confirm the closer you stay to your core roots the more successful you will be !
    Shabba is a DON in the TRUEST sense of the word ~ not the frivolous sense that is commonly thrown around.
