Hi guys. I was listening to some cool reggae someone had playing. There were a few songs from ONE artist that were really good. I can't remember much about them lol. One song's lyrics had something along the lines of "live and die, live and die, live and die, going downtown tonight!" (or something to that affect anyway) Another song had a kid singing about "my generation....the nation...." or something. If anyone knows anything about these songs, please respond! Hehe! Thanks! (btw they were both from the same artist)

I can't name those songs off hand, but you could try the forums over at jungletrain.net or dirtybox (see sig) as they both have a ton of ragga, raggae, 2step, jungle, etc heads there that have helped me before...

That second one definitely sounds like the Who.

lol. I know The Who has My Generation but I don't consider them reggae/r&b hehe. Thanks though.

try www.boogiebrown.com - Clinton Fearon is a local reggae group, with some infectious rhymes and tunes, they have some mp3s there to download.

not sure about the first one, but might this have been "police and thieves" by junior murvin (written and produced by lee "scratch" perry)?

Yay! I found it! Thanks to ivandal for the jungletrain link. Those guys knew what I was looking for. I was looking for Musical Youth "Pass the dutchie" hehe. Thanks! (BTW, thanks to you other guys for the good suggestions too!)
