Hi Felisha !

Amun🙏🏾

So true I was thinking the same thing.

He's very wise. Ive been a fan of his forever.

So many‼️💎

A ton of gems. Makes you wonder about your own mind and what you’ve allowed in.

Almost blasphemy

FACTS!

Shut up

@@kingyami2294 come on now why be rude though?

You right on that

Yami you’re a troll listen to the words 1love

So true! It was like he was giving a sermon

Best interview‼‼‼👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

The best in my humble opinion.

1000%

Listen an Live thru that Third 👁 ... I’m trying my best in this wicked world!!

DJ 9one: Fact This is THE BEST..The only other memorable one for me is the one with DMX!

True.

OPEN UP YOUR MIND PEEPS ... AND SEE THE INTELLIGENCE OF YOUR KIND AROUND THE WORLD!

It would never make it that far. Truth is always suppressed just like how Nick Cannon tried to plant a seed and he was crushed.

Those are the oppressive systems that he speaks of. We need our own platforms

WITHOUT A DOUBT!!

Turn you ? 😊

Trust me ... my cup is filled after watching this .

Thats the most positive interview i heard in a long time

Lol he’s my boyfriend 😍😍😂

Omg i was just thinking the same thing

Definitely an icon.

Who doesn’t call him an icon. 😂😂😂

He's a servant of the music first

He's a servant of the music first, people tend to forget that, that's why when you think you bigger than the music, that's when you really lose yourself.

I've been telling people, no one can have a Vurzuz with this man, his catalog is too vast and complicated, no other jamaican artist have ever touch every genre of music as this man.

His recently releases Album is UPSIDE-DOWN with 20 tracks with collaboration with John Legend. Pharrel, Steflon Don, Stephen Marley. His Gold Album is TIL SHILOH.. He also have INNER HEIGHTS. Friend For Life. He has many albums and thousand of songs. . The new album have tracks like Rising Up, 400 Yrs,, The World Is Changing, Buried Live. . One of his older tracks are Maybe We Are, Murderer, Destiny, Hills And Valley, Close One Yesterday, Champion, Not An Easy Road, Mr Nine and many more .... ONE Love Always

This is one of my favorite song Buju sing . I play it when I am down and out. Please listen. Enjoy ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LIdW2vtcpRU.html

I hope you started listening to his music. If his accent is to heavy - look up the lyrics. Trust me/totally worth it.

@@amiranieves5254 totally agree you have to listen to his music pre and post rasta to understand.

Listen to his music and start with the song-murderer.

This is an interview about consciousness and knowing thyself. Wake up time for everyone

👍🏼Riiiiight💯

True

This was powerful

Facts

Take note

Hope U did 🙂

By far!!!!!!

Its real.wooooow

Say it again 🙏AMEN

When one person can get the the attention of all the interviewers,that says alot .

Umar Johnson - Tariq nasheed - Dr. Claude Anderson - Louis Farrakhan ECT!! All real!! BIG UP GARGAMEL

That’s all he got. Like a priest bring you back to god . A smoke screen. Goats see past these fast talkers who sound brighter than you. It’s not what a man say it’s also what he does. What have he done but talk.

I noticed that, it’s amazing

@@AcademiaAcademia-uh2th why so much dislike towards Buju. Serious question

He made a homophobic song in 1992

@@millyjilly7586 He's repented (turned away) from that and apologized. He was an ignorant young man (barely a man) when he wrote it. The person who outed him in the NYPost was a misogynist at the same age that Buju wrote that. I wish I had the nerve to call him out about his woman-hatred. Don't throw stones.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zv2GMZ1oRz0.html

I am not Jamaican but I have and always will love Buju

Til Shiloh is classic album. If you only listen to one thing by him have it be that.

🙏🏽👍🏽🦾‼️‼️‼️

That's a fact!!

Slow down there hundreds of other big albums from artist like Sizzla to Vybz

Till shilo and Inna heights

I 💚💛🖤❤💚💛 Africa and Jamaican forever 🇺🇸

Were not black,,,,we are Israelites

True, mi sistren. Was in Jamaica, felt home especially heading to 9 Mile, that was home for me.

Africans are the biggest haters. Go live there and let me know how that works out. They all gonna laugh at you

“When they fear the truth they silence the messenger”... Buju is a genius!!!

Great great reason!my my brother

Preach it .

Real talk

Totally agree!!

Buju needs to be honest as to why he was willing to partake in the distribution of drugs to our people. I am A FAN FAN FAN of his catalog before he went behind bars. But now i have to view him in a different light moving forward, cause mi cyaan support anyone who is knowly buying drugs to feed our own people.

@Marlene Mclean I know there's more...and it needs to come from Buju...the truth..not 'i was setup'

@@shannondull3006 Honestly since the homosexuals community has gained more rights like (BLM) right around that time him like many other reggae artists traveled to do show, these groups would challenge him about the botiboi tune ( forgiveness for wrong spelling) and he was just hooked up with the wrong people and was basically setup, not saying he could have made a better choice, but dude was in his 30s at the time and as adults we make bad decisions from time to time. At the end of the day he did his time like he said not like a Pusshole. So there is always 3 sides to a story, which he may can not speak on because of lost of freedom just my thoughts. Be in love with Buju since 87 basically

@@shannondull3006 clearly can see that it was a set up....he is past it n doesn't want to go back to the past.

@@shannondull3006 you need to listen to the whole interview then, he give an explanation where it's coming from, and you need to read his trial stuff.

Amen 🙏

Pity him couldnt speak with authority to not be charged for running drugs😂😂😂. Mi weak!

Sacleaners didn’t you listen to the interview? It was a set up by a wicked SYSTEM 🤦🏾‍♂️

For real!!!

@@Sacleaners you are the evil spirit he was talking about and if this was the only thing you got from this then you i think you need to wake up

Amen.🙏🙏

Bog up buju, nas and all the freedom fighters

🔥🔥🔥

Where do u live at? @clacci38

@Chris Leonard He's talking to the black race. Unity, education and love will push the black race to success. Buju has always talked about uplifting the poor and bringing awareness in his music of the injustice the brown and black race face everyday. His music is a voice for the poor. If you are not familiar with his music, take some time to listen. His recent album Upside-Down. Listen to Rising Up, Buried Alive, 400 Years, The World is Changing. He has many albums if you are not familiar with him. I love the track from another album Maybe We Are, Not An Easy Road, Murderer, Destiny. Countless songs to choose from. One Love Aways

@Chris Leonard The breakfast club seek him out to do this interview, and yes he still talk like this in every media house that interview him.

@Chris Leonard I'm lost. Who in this interview "disrespected" Black Americans? Point them out, otherwise you're just making a fuss about nothing. Instead of spending time to point out what's not there; listen to understand what is being said in the interview... You just might learn something. Goodbye 👋🏽

@Chris Leonard bruh all Jamaicans care about is the fact that he is Jamaican ignore them. I love Buju but he didn't say one thing ground breaking. I can think of atleast 100 guest that was spitting but he was the greatest interview. Gtfoh

@Chris Leonardalot of these groups really don't f*ck with ADOS people like that. Only when it benefits them.. like using our platforms. I don't know if you're familiar with Verzuz. But Swizz and Timb had Beenie n Bounty on there.. bruh read the comments from that day till now.. read what Jamaicans were saying. They shit on everyone that was on there calling them trash and they only want Caribbean artist. Just disrespectful. You would think it was their platform.

HALLELUYAH. ALL PRAISES!!!

Edwards I'm here saying Buju running this show He not waiting on no question!!!!!

Charlemagne said a few weeks ago he don't even like reggae. Yee is the only Reggae fan. Envy dumb ass asked about him rolling with Fat Joe and fighting in clubs over 20 years ago. & Buju checked him on that. & All the lifestyle of fancy cars and clothes is all Envy talk about, but he grown & can do what he wants. & at the end Buju didn't like when Charlemagne said " Let me see if u smoking some Reggie. " Buju didn't laugh he said "What does that mean? " & Envy jumped in & said " It means Regular weed " Idk, maybe Buju was thinking the same thing I was thinking cause charlemagne had asked him earlier about being accused of cocaine abuse..... I thought he was saying Reggie was weed mixed with Coke. That's why when people say shit we don't understand and they smiling and laughing we gotta be serious and say " WTF are you talking about ?"

Jah kno

chill, they let him talk as they should

@@rockymars80 😘

Right!!

Why the lol?? You must haven’t been affected!

@@mr.altricebell8299 What!!!.. that "lol" wasn't a diss, I LOVED how Buju phrased that. Don't get it confused, I'm a huge Buju fan. Try again 🥴

Lol you cought that

@@jeranndelancy5158 Yessss! That was freaking amazing..

Yes de mam is a real servant who know his intentions are genuine

I do!

I remember love my black woman 😍❤️♥️

always been like this

Check our the Onstage one, too. It was pretty good

@@haddingtoniangcp2464 Yes I watched that one with Winford the moment it was streamed, as well as the one with Seani B. None of those went as far as this one. I was expecting more of the same kind of album promo interviews like the ones he has been doing the past few weeks, but this caught me off guard. I'm having to listen again and again.

This has to be the most in depth breakfast club interview

Yes indeed

😂😂😂😂😂 Tek it ezy!

The FBA and ADOS are the thumbs downers, they're the haters who set up Buju for their white daddy

Come on leave them, you know what they are doing! Too many gems 💎 for black people in here so they don’t want this message to get out so. This is their validation for dislike

@@denisebrown2994 Black immigrants need to on be constant guard against these FBA/ADOS characters, and take the negative comments from them very seriously, people like Tariq Nasheed Yvette Carnell Tone Talks have used anti black immigrant propaganda rhetoric to build their brand, Tariq Nasheed and others consider black immigrants a bigger threat to them than the KKK

Dem ignorant!

as you stroke your fake hair ,

Sun-worship reference?

Every interview he's done have been power but this! Dem nuh ready fi hear rasta man chat!

Word

That's because they can't get a word in edgewise - he completely over talks them. They were silent when L. Farrakhan was a guest as well, but he engaged their questions. Buju is dropping science and jewelry but he's also assuming that he is the smartest person in the room, and that's not true.

@George George Everthing? Come on, some is his opinion especially pertaining to his comments about George Floyd protesting getting out of hand. IMO.

They’re listening carefully because the connection is not that great. It’s just like reporters on tv, the responses can be delayed. Which is why TBC are talking over each other. Buju has the clearest connection out of the four. 🙄

@@nativempress Yeah but BB has done other interviews and did not overtalk....too much blazin' up...lol

Real talk. You must all stand together. Unity is strength. Hope all goes well. I have many Guyanese friends.

As a fellow Guyanese say this louder 🇬🇾.. US need to mind their business..

You mean before taking over others

@@triciabrown4487 why are you blaming Trump? It is American foreign policy.

Darn bro, you're firing of all cylinders. This is so profound and resounding well said,SOLID!!

I was trying to read the words. . Wow, that's deep. Thanks

I read it like 5 times wow

august88837 me to I kept reading it

I saw that! Yessss!!! True words!!! 👍🏽

Powerful words ....

He don't understand the patois very well so he is paying attention

only the quiet learns

I noticed that too

EVERY TIME I PICKED UP MY PHONE AFTER THIS INTERVIEW WHICH IS EVERY DAY I GRASPED THE MESSAGES THIS IS DEEP. YES BECAREFUL FOR WHAT YOU ALL ASKING FOR SO TRUE.

Charlemagne is geechee...trust me he understand patois.

On koi

Fi real mi breda👊🏿

A tru ting mans a say yuh know

groovy yaz Jah know

Buju say Chinese traveling the Caribbean buying distressed asset and businesses. Buju say after Carona there will also be a financial reset.

Im currently at work watching this this interview but I already know Im gonna watch this interview atleast another 5 times.

Amen 🙏🏽👍🏽

Indeed! They didn’t fake their resPECK for him.

Yes my sis!

What a great interview.. Waw Buju B.

I was thinking the same

Facts

Disturbing

Amen!

They are to used to watching the foolishness

🤣😂 so true. Lol

Truth. He could say the alphabet and it would sound like a Bible verse.

He was referring to Fat Joe, talking about the old memories of Buju, putting hands on some guys back in the day.

Lolol...."yuh 'member too much"

He smart for that. That was a warning dem. Watch what ya ah go say envy

There is power and it provokes deep thinking. Reminds me of conversations with my dad. I know I've been lucky 🍀, thanks to my dad and uncles.

Yes sir

I did not know that I could sit and listen to Buju Banton for so long and enjoy and learn so much. I really appreciated everything he said and wish for him happiness and prosperity.

I love you Buju! I hope you heard me screaming for you in 🇩🇲Dominica🇩🇲 when you performed at World Creole Music Festival. Thank you for embracing your calling and sharing your gifts with the world.

Ever

It was a landmark in the genre.

@MrSpliffstarz true but the best reggae album ever made was exodus so those two things are separate to me.

@@karenl7786 yes. It is the greatest dancehall album of all time. There's nothing to rival this album by any of the other leading dancehall artists who were his contemporaries. Beenie Man, Bounty Killer or any of the other greats don't have any album that comes close to the raw soul, spirit and lyricism of the album. Bounty killer's album My Experience was a masterpiece as well as Capelton's Still Blazin. But none can rival Til Shiloh. It's literally the illmatic of Dancehall

I wouldn't call it a Dancehall album.

When are we as a race, going to take our place?

Real talk

Amen! I'm going to have to download this and listen to it over and over

Where in jamaica 🇯🇲 you from

@@zairelopez5700 Kingston but I migrated to the states.

Paula Mitchell what state you at

That's what Rastafari does they are spiritual folks hard to understand... Wonderful aspects to take into life tbh for myself.

P Zou ;@ p Zou buju was in a different astray level to those interviewing him ; only #CHARLEMAGNE came close to his comprehension; that was black awakening ; #RESPECTBUJU

@@dicko_7684 True talk. Charlemagne understood.

Dicko _76 charlemagne talked shit about the ancestor Dr Frances Cress Welsing with a whole white man. I watched this joint for Buju that was it. They don’t care. I know they don’t care. They just gotta make it through the interview

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tuGo5VdUcb4.html

the shift is happening, we may not see but are kids or grandkids will. Africa to the world.

@@sweetcherii yeah the sooner the better. It can only be great!✊🏾

Peace to you brother!

Buju say Africa is the place God love to be. Africa is diverse and what BUJU say in one of his song Mama Africa, all the precious stones are founded in Africa. All the beautiful animal and the list goes on. My friend traveled to KENYA and she loved it but the western world has protray AFRICA as a terrible place. For years they spread Propaganda and lies while they steal our land.

It’s happening. We just have to dismantle the corrupt system built there, and take back our homeland. The infiltration is real.

Burried Alive God bless and keep you Mr.Myrie

Our thirst for knowledge will seek wisdom. There is no need for you to state your race, all can appreciate wisdom.

Problem I find with these younger generation on the Bigfoot man because we mention is less than a handful who have positive message thing is designed to destroy our culture and did the meaning of babats men, black women on black people on the whole as you see in rent a culture Americus an old rap game is controlled or all the rappers are gay boys as you call them one has to make a distinction like you said the one never off and lay on your back and when you came into being you saw the moon but you chose the love of God instead now he also mentioned we're the culture and the music come from under roots and these rootikal people are aware they only listen to everything come from Yankee and think everything come from Yankee is it is what it is .in other words people use the Bata shoes on them craft up Jordan we should all realize How yard stay .pple acostom to tailor maid an not gay fashion probably the crab syndrome song that on the job and I had a lot cheaper it's your duty as you've been doing and Performing is Stayed enlightin these younger ones and all these people coming up with this Yankee Immitational Beat should be ostracized because whar th ed y are doing is distroyin a a culture that the Genaration befor war so had to instill in t h e Ini . At the rate its going in one Genaration it will all be gone distroying a cultural foundation eith out any justice nor likeness for justification at all like you said .we must mentaibe our culture a nd eescue our brotheran disters wo is bound for distruction by thr evil forced that target our ini culture beyond .while those lingerin to fo so Beyond our shore.we must send the a clear message . Blood an fire fe dem I would not call myself listenung to what they called music: we do this is how we do it : come let us exchange with culture when ignorant and corrupt deception envisages o uh r shore it must be st a map out another Thing I find disgusting listen to Winford Williams the other day and twice in two different month is top 10 song didn't have a single reggae in it last time I listen and add 6nine being number 10 on is charged no it's Festival time and to listen Festival songs that have alter teen an American B it and call the festival song that is disgraceful . I've heard you says this opening on his show that one must maintain their culture and reggae is the foundation of consumer and the heartbeat of the people therefore it's the culture of the people and he's still not getting it as long as these guys collect payola. that is all that seem too matter you mention 12 tribes of Israel there was only. 4 trbes so we need to correct the story from the monster who write the his story: and the game ; a chance to tell you how they play the game instead of that the master and changing the rules to suit his own gain and games

That mean the chicken come home to roost and for a long time America benefits broke so the lies that tell right in front of people's eyes that people cannot see it and one must be self-sufficient to survive in this world and not interdependent sorry if you can see it and tell you that the greatest country is not great it's controlled and run by I Shybye Shameless closet dictators who America always bully people for their goods and when the people ask to be paid storm them overnight and bum them before Dawn and free the asset now they can't do that no more and in it spite all this ; mamma until you see the truth in your face; China is a third world country or underdeveloped developed country that wheeling some power and truly own more of America than American ownring there's recognize who your cousin is and what side of the fence you should be on you still going to have problems bro

Jamaicans stay close to Yah and Country (God and Country). We are a deeply spiritual people, but we have the hearts of warriors. I think one of the reasons why we are the way we are is that we've never not look to Africa. Therefore, that sense of identity has always been there. We do not look to slavery for our root. This is not shade to any black man/Black American, but i have heard or been a part of conversations with African Americans and some of them, can't see themselves past slavery. They do not identify with Africa. This is a mistake. You must know where your root lies for it is from and through its root that the tree draws life/sustenance. Like Buju said, we are Israel. We are Judah. We are the people of the Book. We need to know this as a collective and stop identifying with our circumstances rather than with our true selves. Blessed Love!
