Matisyahu, any fans?

[Hotpapa666]

Orthodox Jewish raggae rapper with a very zionistic message.

Strangely, as an Atheist and not being keen on rap, I really like this guy.

Anyone else out there?

Nah. As a Jew, I'm supposed to like him, but honestly, he's a rip off of a thousand Jamacians who have been doing this for years. I thought the New York Times (damned liberal media) did a pretty good review of him, although I gotta say, that King Without a Crown song is pretty catchy.

I remember a few years ago, maybe when he first came out, I heard a few of his songs. I remember them to be catchy, but nothing worth spending time or money on, other than listening to on the radio to and fro work.

Obviously, that's me being incredibly pretentious.

I have a couple of his tunes.. King without a crown is good so is his remake of rastaman chant.

I hear the words of the rasta man say
Babylon your throne gone down, gone down
Babylon your throne gone down

Said, I hear the words of the higher man say
Babylon your throne gone down, gone down
Babylon your throne gone down

And I hear the angel with the seven seals
Babylon your throne's gone down, gone down
Babylon your throne gone down

I say fly away home to zion, fly away home
I say fly away to zion, fly away home
One bright morning when my work is over
Man will fly away home

One bright morning when my work is over
Man will fly away home
One brlght morning when my work is over
Man will fly away home

I say fly away home to zion, fly away home
I say fly away to zion, fly away home
One bright morning when my work is over
Man will fly away home



Rastafarian's believe they are the lost tribe.

I like me some Matisyahu. Being different is always good.

[Roy Munson]

Most of the time. There are exceptions, obviously.
