The Hypocrite Riddim

bob

The original cut was producedby Sir Coxsone Dodd for the Studio One label, and featured the vocals of a very young Bob Marley who voiced the chune "Hypocrite" in 1967 for which the riddim was named. In 1978, Joe Gibbs re-licked the riddim featuring the vocals of Jacob Miller on the chune "Keep On Knockin'". In 1984, Lloyd 'King Jammy's James. brought the riddim back putting heavy emphasis on the horn and bass line. The result was a heavy duty Clash chune "Too Much War" by I Lue, "Mr. Landlord" byHalf Pint and "Gone Clear" with Tony Tuff. John John, King Jammy's son, re-visited the riddiin 2002, voicing Bounty Killer and the chune "Ghetto Dictionary", and Sizzla with the chune "Commandment." Luciano's powerful chune "By The Father's Grace" asks the almighty to Bless his enemies which is a special dedication to FH! Luciano has learned, and shares through song, that the more our enemies try to hurt us, is the more they Bless us. Kaboom! For the Clash heads amongst us, Spragga Benz's chune "Mascot" is a certified 'tin pan sound killing chune'. If I hear that dub ring out in a dance, I'll put on my dark sunglasses to hide my tears of mourning for the other sound! Lawd! Another great Clash chune is Bushman's "Bun A Weak Heart" "
