It's dangerous...











The Jays & Rankin' Trevor: Queen Majesty

Crucial track from my favorite scene in "ROCKERS", when Dirty Harry pulls the DJ out the booth for playing to much soul and disco, then proceeds to lock himself inside. When the police (babylon) show up to remove him, Dirty Harry does not budge, and instead delivers some classic one liners. This is a great example of live toasting, a staple of Jamaican dancehall.

"You're tuning to your boss D.J. Dirty Harry. Dis is a take-over"

"Musical disc from the flick of my wrist to make you jump and twist... as I would say..."


"Come out of there brother...."

"I and I shall not remove. As I would say."

"You got's to be slick & don't come inside here with your funny little tricks... as I would say..."


"Man called Horsemouth. Top-Ranking drummer of J.A. sound say..."


"Roots, Rock, Reggae, Horsemouth"


"Good stuff. So I would say..."


"Selassie I the first"


"Rasta. What are you doing inside there?"

"Hey Rasta, What the Babylon deal with? I and I control to the fullness."

"Get out man"

"Reeeemoooove Ya!"

"But you must get out now."

"Wicked show..."

"Kinda mean stuff as I would say..."
