The Taxi riddim is my favorite Sly and Robbie riddim. It's the simplicity of it that makes it ride so hard. From now on when we hear thunder, it's just Robbie getting tuned up! RIP to the bass legend and all around hero to reggae fans everywhere, the Great Robbie Shakespeare ❤️💛💚

Long Live Robbie Bassspeare! In my opinion one of the greatest examples of the brilliance of Robbie's approach combined with Sly's innovation are the "Nightclubbing" and "Living My Life" records by Grace Jones. The collections sound fresh and ahead of pack to this day. Nightclubbing is one of my favorite records of all time honestly.

Bass is the essential part of reggae music without it reggae won't sound well. I love this music with all my heart. Eddy Roots Defender in South Africa.
