Yeah Levi was way ahead of his time, way ahead. His talent rubbed off onto the rest of them Saxon dudes - they all promoted intelligent lyrics. Back in them days nuff man would chat four lines and repeat them, Levi was a breath of fresh air.

Saying that, Colonel used to have a lyric about nobody can roll their tongue like him, in one session he tried to keep up with Horseman (from Dread Diamond) and nearly bit off his own tongue

Horseman, now Lord David V Ghettotone with Horseman riding Fight Fight by Don Carlos and Dennis Brown's Easy take it Easy (you're too rough) - that was a dance!! Him and Ricky Ranking could mash up any blues or dance.

Also don't ramp with Daddy IP from Coxone...he was a breath of fresh air but I heard drugs got the better of him in the end. That was back in 85 the times when all these street madness was just beginning for me. They found him dead in the Thames, heard the effects of drowning made his head swell to ten times its normal size.

And from 1985 to say 1995 Tenor Fly was an absolute don, at one stage he had the game to himself but admittedly most sounds where just clashing dub for dub by then and lyrics and riding riddim kind of went out the window...it was all about the international sound clash.

But back to Tippa, he had this wicked lyric that went something like this...

Only Jah know weh mek mi lyrics a' flow

I have lyrics in my eye I have lyrics on my nose I have lyrics on my shoulder going down my elbow

I have lyrics on my back my foot my belly and my toe

That is no word of a lie it's what I want you to know

My tool is not a knife my tool's the micro

In England I rate myself and in Jamaica Ringo

Do yo love your girl enough to give her your last rolo!

But I do not eat no bounty twix no mars or aero...

Yeah...got to stop downloading...or even uploading some of my classics
Boy you got nuff stories....lol

Tippa was the next genius. I used to for hours debate with myself on who was better out of him and Levi. Levi was technically way out on his own but Tippa had a unique quality of carrying the swing like only he could.

Yup, used to love the "Jah know lyric" and the "How do you roll your tongue Daddy Colonel" .

Here's the next link:
