This tune always energises me - always loved that riff, but you made it proper Macka B style! I will never get bored of it. My husband says he can hear my car coming half a mile away when I've got Macka on the stereo. It's a musical education for the passers by! 😁🎶❤
Macka B just raps so fast he could out rap any fast jungle beat which so called rapping came from Jahmakeyah in the first place. Many times in this song he said John and in the name 'marijuana' is two names 'Mary' & 'John/Yuhana' hence mariyuana or today's marijuana and Macka B mention 'chalice' which a pipe bowl by itself kinda is like a bottomless cup. Peter Tosh sings "Light up your chalice". Maryjuhana/ Maryjuana/ Marijuana. Funny there were three '"Mary"'s at the Crucifixion; Mary Mother of Yeshua, Mary Magdalaweit/Magdalene & Mary's Sister Mary. I know there's a lot of Mary's hence a lot of names for the marijuana!
Arrgghh! the bass line, I like it, but I know I have heard something very similar, but its killing me I cant remember... anyone else heard the bass in another song?
