Uhhh NO
The.predominant artists in CONTEMPORARY REGGAE.are still BLACK
MAVADO...POPCAAN...are just a few examples
those white artists you mentioned are only popular in hybrid markets and genres
And are still considered novelties
just like the SOUMDSYSTEMS whixh are the HEARTBEAT of reggae
although we got german sounds and japenese sounds like MIGHTY CROWN
for the most part BLACK OWNED SOUNDSYSTEMS with BLACK SELRCTORS still dominate worldwide
the closest Reggae came to having a "EMINEM" was the German deejay GENTLEMAN
but as you can see his status wasnt globally stellar
and Snow never reached the heights that one can assume
no no no ..no IGGY AZALEA fukkery gwan here
and thats because REGGAE is STILL THE VOICE.OF THE UNDERCLASS AND THE ANTI ESTABLISHMENT
consciousness is still respected in REGGAE
UNLIKE RAP MUSIC WHICH HAS SOLD ITS SOUL
and only gets turned up for a CHECK
One thing that I like about reggae/dancehall is that if you are good enough, show your respect and pay your dues, you will be generally accepted into the reggae fraternity.
It started with Dominic from the UK, who was talented enough to be accepted by the likes of Nicodemus and Supercat. He had no problem hanging with real Jamaican badman, but that's because he really could dj.
Fast forward to recent and the biggest tune I have heard from a whiteboy is "Come Around" by Collie Buds. Almost every sound has cut him on dubplate.
Yes, these guys have had some resistance,but they have moreso been accepted due to their talent.
I don't know about Marley getting big because he was half white, but I know that his message is what makes his music universal and everlasting. He was more talented than Bunny Wailer.
Prolific post SKJ. Real recognize real, and Dominic was def not about exploiting the culture.
Always good to hear a new story. Didn't know he went jail in JA.
And don't forget Rodigan vs Barry G. That is where he began.
My only problem with Rodigan is that when he comes to my country, the white folk come out in droves. They think he is THE King of Dancehall without even thinking of checking for Jaro, Addies, Saxon, etc. They only support him, not dancehall. However, that has nothing to do with him personally, it just irritates me.
