"you stupid Americans"? You're a yankee yourself I'm quite sure he isn't a star in the entire western world by the way.

You're a yankee yourself I'm quite sure he isn't a star in the entire western world by the way.I am American, but I have an international perspective and have spent significant time in Europe, Africa, and Asia...so I have a little bit different understanding.And he's way more popular in Europe than in America. Even white people in Europe are really into him, only the African immigrants and a few scattered Rasta's know of him.
I'm a white European, but his name doesn't even ring a bell.

Lukcy Dube was a cool cat!Period!Besides you only started listening to his songs, when you went to Mali![Correct me if I'm Wrong]So I'm pretty sure you hadn't even heard of him before you decided to go on your trip.Oh, When you see Africa, you would need to specify what part of Africa you visited. Just on it's own,is kinda vague!I'm sure Dude is not as big as Fela Kuti [RIP]Reading your post, i can tell that you would like others to listen to the said artist, but your approach is way off!

The proof is there so make another straw man to knock down.And even if I would have just started listening to him when I went to West Africa, that would be irrelevant to the discussion because it would only support my thread in showing how travelling has exposed me to things I wouldn't have known otherwise living in America.And as for my approach, again, you can just do a search at the site and you will see I went about it the "right" way before and nobody responded to the posts, so I tried a different approach to getting peoples attention this time.
and ill bet the first time u herd of him was last week and now ur tryin to act like his bitch......
