 - Live At StubbsIf you're looking for Rastifarian rock in the form of 311 or Phish, then this is the cd for you. But if you are looking for more hip hop via the song, "King Without A Crown." Then you might want to look elsewhere. It's almost as if "King Without A Crown" doesn't belong on this album. Undoubtedly, this is a good cd nonetheless, but it's not what I was expecting. Rating:  - Enjoayble listeningThis music has a suprisingly good feeling to it. I also wathed a vidoe on mtv last week on one of the songs and the video was as original as this music, there a lot of talent going one. I heard one of the songs from this cd on the radio one night, I was reapeating the name in my head over n over trying to rember, ya this music is that good, well I like it. Rating:  - good imitationi'm a fan of reggae. most of the reviews i've read mentions bob marley. even the editor's review mentions ganja smoking and hippies being associated with reggae. none of these people seem well versed in roots reggae. it's insulting that people who knows nothing about reggae would procede to review it like it's just about hippies and weed. what about rastas? roots reggae is religious music. now about matisyahu. he a good performer, has great lyrics and delivers a good show. but reggae singers are not babbling oogi oooh ooogi ooh- making noises just because. there is a culture and a language behind it. if anything this may get some people through the gate into REAL reggae. check out burning spear, peter tosh, yabba you, sister carol and other righteous singers. i don't hate this guy, but people praising him as being the positive great hope of reggae is like praising eminem of being a genius of hip hop. he singing the same thing, but there's just the other face on our music. keep it real, yall. Rating:  - BoringThis is not reggae. This some hasidic jew whining and saying oogi yoi over and over again. Not worth it... Rating: - Matisyahu- Live at StubbsI LOVE the CD! its a relief to hear some good reggae music who's lyrics arent always about getting high. He has a great message to his lyrics and this is an awesome CD. Two thumbs waaaay up.
