Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
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 Simmons
Customer Reviews
this guy hits up both styles!!
buju banton has the ability to sing both roots reggae songs, (ie. untold stories), and dancehall tunes, (ie. love sponge). i must admit i am more a fan of the roots reggae style it holds more meaning to me. i do however like several of the dancehall guys such as buju's stuff, barrington levy, sizzla and some of beenie man's stuff too. basically if you like alittle of both, then buju gets it done and doesn't spoil the reggae with any of that hip-hop dancehall like sean paul.
BUJU IS COOL
look, whoever says that Buju Banton is a disgrace to reggae they got something wrong with them. okay, maybe he's not the best, but he is pretty damn good and has a totally individual vocal style. i am a rasta (at least i try) and i have a reggae band and i know that he is good. personally i like the songs 'murderer' and 'untold stories' and 'Buju movin'. they have a good feel to them

Buju is Banging!!!!!!!!
Great lyrics in the dancehall reggae tunes. All of his best songs and greatest hits on one CD. If you're a fan of Buju Banton or just reggae music in general...buy it!!!!
This brings it all together!!
This CD takes you through Buju's evolution as an artist. From the first track, you can envision 'BUJU MOVIN', through the 'Hills and Valleys' of his career and maturing to be who he has ultimately become, one of the greatest reggae artists of our time. He has successfully become a more concious and spiritual artist without alienating his core dancehall fans. Most of his hip-hop cross-over prone peers are left scratching their heads saying "How he a do dat?" 'Untold Stories' still stands out as the class of this album. Very basic instruments, guitar and congo drums, make you focus on his political laments, very "Bob Marleyesque" I wish more songs from 'Til Shiloh' where included in this but I can live with this. This is an excellent compilation and should serve to satisfy people who want to hear Buju for the first time but are unsure of what album to buy.
