Album Description
International reggae icon Banton, a.k.a. Gargamel, comes full circle with his first pure dancehall collection in over a decade. This fiery seventeen-song set features the production wizardry of such industry giants as Steely & Cleevie and Sly & Robbie. The street single, "Nothing", is a hard-edged dancehall gem already receiving airplay at specialty and mixshow radio. The lead commercial release, "Fast Lane", is a classy track that boasts a more reflective Buju chatting hypnotic, lyrical verse over an unconventional riddim steeped in jazzy, rare grooves.Customer Reviews:

Absolutely 5 Stars!!.......2006-11-20
What makes this album even more special though is the appreciation of the dancehall history lesson that is bound up in this package.
Buju Banton exploded on the scene in Jamaica as the most gruff-voiced teenager you ever did hear in 1991-1992 with a song called 'Browning'. His meteoric rise saw him to the international scene within 2 years, and the rest we know...But he turned to Rastafarianism and his music soon began to reflect that, and the rough, mean, fast-paced style known as hardcore became less. Lately, some began to count him out of mainstream dancehall.
Amazingly Buju returns to hardcore, almost right where he left off, just to demonstrate the force that has never left him. And he calculatedly brings a world of deja-vu with him, almost as if willfully trying to demonstrate his convictions about where dancehall should stay rooted. Look at a few things...
At least 14 of the 17 riddim tracks use an old-school approach of about 100bpm or less which takes us back to the days when Buju first entered the dancehall.
In fact 'Hey Bwoy', is voiced on a riddim which Buju himself was the first to record in 1991 with the tune 'Man Fi Dead'. He gives a different treatment on the riddim track updated by a different producer, now called Petty Thief. (Back then this riddim actually was derived from another called The Soap and later reinvented as Sudd)
The title track takes us back to 1992 on a subliminal level. The riddim for 'Too Bad' has its origins in the 1992 Penthouse studios in Jamaica when it was created by Dave Kelly. Kelly recorded Buju Banton`s 'Batty Rider' on the track and it was an instant and lasting hit. The track itself carries the name Gi-Gi, and was recently resurrected by another producer. Buju places his mark on the new rendering of Gi-Gi. As with 'Hey Bwoy', the tune remains very distinct from its predecessor but still manages to cast a shadow over the past, helping to make this album a different type of collectors` item.
Buju then digs out one of the oldest renditions of a musical score called the Taxi riddim, AS IS, to display his skills. The instrumental or version used is OVER 20 YEARS OLD, from a time when Buju was but a schoolboy fan of the music. That decision has produced the now massively famous 'Driver'.
As if that wasn`t enough he invites veteran singer Pinchers onto the set to reinvent a tune sung by Pinchers in his prime. The song is 'Don', also TWO DECADES old, long before Buju could dream of the success that is his today. The updated version 'Don and Dupes' replaces all of Pinchers with Buju except for the chorus.
There is really little need to discuss the flow, lyrics, delivery, etc. Buju is unquestionably at his hardcore best here. Few would disagree. It`s such a well put together set! Pulled from his work over the last 2 years, with some added strokes of previously unreleased genius. But there is another reason to get this album in your collection. I think this is a clever collectors` item because of the way it embraces the history of dancehall as a separate genre. It also makes the point that dancehall could do well without being diluted.

When Buju Banton emerged from the Kingston, Jamaica, slums in the early '90s, he stirred controversy with a breed of dancehall steeped in the same obsessions with gunplay, sexism, and homophobia that characterized hardcore American hip-hop. But after converting to Rastafarianism and scratching to find more socially conscious and deeply rooted music on 1993's Voice of Jamaica, Banton (born Mark Myrie) proved that his conscience and creative restlessness are driven by more than mere commercial shrewdness on this album, his true breakthrough. Banton sounds like a changed man from the get-go. The spiritually uplifting title prologue segues into a chuckle and the resignation of "'Til I'm Laid to Rest." While Banton ruminates on everything from love and spirituality to geopolitics, his electro dancehall clichés have largely given way to organic, often spiritual music whose African influences are worn as a badge of honor. Banton has been credited with reinventing dancehall here, and it's hard to argue otherwise. His gruff voice bounds from its previous monotonous rap ruts into a warm and joyous newfound expressiveness that lights up the infectious "Murderer," the fatalistic "Not an Easy Road," and the party-time "Hush Baby Hush" (a reworking of the Zodiacs chestnut "Stay"). Banton even finds some folksy resonance with the acoustic-guitar backed "Untold Stories." Guest vocalists Garnett Silk ("Complaint") and Wayne Wonder ("What Ya Gonna Do") add some contemporary R&B touches to Banton's already considerably expanded sense of dynamics. This remastered reissue features three bonus cuts: the B-sides "Rampage" and "Sensemilia Persecution" and a previously Jamaica-only remix of "Champion." --Jerry McCulleyCustomer Reviews:
Buju Banton brought forth a brave and honest testimonial album.......2007-06-25
It's "Not an Easy Road," shows Banton vulnerable side and continues on opening his soul to the world with "Wanna Be Loved," and also exposes his loneliness on "What Ya Gonna Do" joined by Wayne Wonder that I can't get enough of because there great to mellow out to. On "Complaint" Buju is praising Jah and spreading the heathens before him. "Chuck It So" takes a similar attitude, which he takes on a Big Man, with the 2 Friends Crew softening his vicious assault. Buju turned a 1960 classic "Stay," with "Hush Baby Hush," by slightly adding a lighter note to this event. The last track "Champion [remix]" is a pleasant addition because it reminds me of my club years, the DJ's use to play this number religiously and had a lot of people moving.
`Til Shiloh' is a rare and gentler side to Buju that will have you constantly hitting the repeat button. It's a necessity for any reggae fan and with that I also recommend the album `Inna Heights.'
Of course it's good, it's Buju..............2007-02-23

With the release of 1995's Til Shiloh, reggae's premiere dancehall DJ proved he is as powerful a singer as he is a chanter. A quintessential Jamaican genius, Buju is a nexus of everything about that music culture that awes and frustrates outsiders who fall under its spell. This 21-track follow-up is every bit Shiloh's equal, even an unimaginable step forward. "Our Father in Zion," "Destiny," and "African Pride" swell the heart as full as any of Marley's compositions, while "Redder Than Red," "My Woman Now," and "Love Dem Bad" prove Buju's still dancehall's Mr. Mention. Best of all, Buju reconciles reggae's divided soul, suggesting that the mountaintop Rastaman and the ghetto rude boy are one and the same. --Elena OumanoCustomer Reviews:

I should also mention that I purchased this CD five times within the first two years it came out because my friends kept stealing it or borrowing it and "forgetting" to give it back. Was a great choice to listen to in my discman while running track. Now the whole album is on my husband's ipod.
And its really for everyone. While I LOVE Dancehall/ Reggae, even non-fans choose to listen to this CD in my car. These passengers include my mother and my kids.
Mr. Good.......2005-07-06
Hills and Valleys can't go wrong - just a good message
Destiny is a private song to think about yourself
Cry No More proves that Buju has many sisters
LOVE DEM BAD make I love being a woman (a true)
Love Sponge is a song to sing to anyone who rock you right
This cd is good, too many songs on it, but good
Buju!.......2005-03-13

In the early 1990s, teenager Buju Banton achieved notoriety in Jamaica's raucous dancehall scene with a series of controversial songs. But as he matured, he dropped the "guns and girls" lyrics of his youth in favor of songs that reflected his growing interest in social and spiritual matters. Ultimate Collection gathers 18 of Banton's more socially conscious songs including "Murderer," a powerful cry of rage directed at the killer of one of his friends, and "How the World a Run," a theological dissertation set to an irresistible dancehall riddim. Banton has a remarkably wide musical range, and selections such as "No Respect," which features a sonically complex digital production, "Untold Stories," an introspective song backed by a simply strummed acoustic guitar, and "Hills and Valleys," with its old-style roots feel, demonstrate his mastery of most of reggae's musical offshoots. Banton's music is a throwback to the days of Bob Marley, a time when the most positive messages were set to the strongest beat, and the best songs touched your heart and mind even as they made you get up and dance. --Michael SimmonsCustomer Reviews:
