Customer Reviews
SIzzla in full force!
I'll make it short and quick, since detailed reviews are already here; Black Woman and Child has some blazing tracks on it. I highly recommend this album to any reggae fan.
My favorite tracks include: Give Them the Ride, Love is Divine, Make it Secure, Hard Ground, and Oh What a Joy.
Strongest Sizzla album
Creative, diverse, genuine. Directly from the fields and ghettos-grassroots consciousness, ladies and gentlemen. Sizzla really showcases his voice over rhythmic bongos in "Make It Secure," and Capleton weighs in for the album's sickest track, "Babylon a Use Dem Brain."
Best Album
This has to be sizzla's best album. This truely shows his raw talent and why he is known world wide. Amazon has great prices on it also.
I found all of his lyrics over at Sizzla.org
Untouchable!!!
People say too much when talking about this album, and at the same time they dont say enough. So let me say it for them. This is hands down one of the greatest albums ever. On a mainstream level, he wont even get a mention. But "we" know. VP is crap and they shouldnt have added the extra two songs, because they pale in comparison to the rest of the album. Speaking of the original 15 tracks, every single one of them lyrically, style wise, and from a production standpoint are perfect. "Fans" always want to compare his later albums to this one, they should stop. Every album has a different vibes. What they need to do is compare this album with some of Mr. Marley's work, and Til Shiloh, and My Experience, and to be real it should be compared to "great" albums by The Beatles, Elvis, Biggie, Eminem, Tupac, Madonna, Johnny Cash, etc. People need to stop comparing Sizzla to Sizzla, and get him the respect he deserves. He drops an amazing album consistently but garners nothing but criticism for putting out a "slack" tune. When youre "with" your girl, or man, tell me how slack Sizzla is. Once again let me close by saying this is one of the greatest albums in music.
Bobo Man Cometh
This is one of Sizzla's best albums to date. After arriving on the scene with his classic Praise Ye Jah (1997) the young Sizzla made another classic album released the same year with Black Woman & Child. Along with his Bobo bredren Capleton, Sizzla has been accumulating a huge fan base, and also like Capleton he has been the source of some cofusion as to what Rastafari and more specifically Bobo Ashanti is all about. Unlike Capleton though, Sizzla grew up in the Bobo camp and didn't convert to it later in life. Despite all of the controversy and chanting of "Black Supremacy" you have to overstand that Sizzla is significant in his contributions, while people are not always agreeing with everything he says, he certainly brings attention to the problems of injustice, etc. Unfortunately, Sizzla released album after album and they tended to increase in their slackness and not bring positive messages. But that is in the future, this album is back in the beginning. There are lots of blazin' tracks here... some of my favorites are Give Them The Ride, Make It Secure, Hard Ground, One Away (which shares the riddim with Capleton's Raggy Road), and Babylon A Use Dem Brain featuring Capleton (also on Capleton's I-Testament). As can be seen from the album's title, Sizzla shows love and respect to Black women in songs such as Blackwoman & Child and Princess Black. Other songs like Do Good Everytime big up the youths. Plenty of other good tunes here too... all of the songs on this album are good, making this one of the best efforts in modern Rasta reggae. This album helped Sizzla "Kalonji, The Priest" get many fans, myself being one of them. This album also becomes the yard stick to which all his later works would have to measured up to... few met up to the standards. Selassie I!
