The hand of crime has robbed Africa one of the most celebrated music icon. How cruel, as one "Nation" columnist remarked, "some people should never die"
But his legacy will linger on for a long long time to come.
That was one sad death, he sang all those nice songs, fighting for human rights and equality and he had to die such a cruel death! May he soul rest in peace.
one of my favorite songs that he did was together as one.... i like the 2nd verse that went like:
"the cats and the dogs have forgiven each other, whats wrong with us? the cats and the dogs have forgiven each other, all these years fighting each other but no solution.....? the legend will sure last long after him.
and how true... RIP Lucky.

I'm still mourning Philip's (Lucky) tragic exit. He sang against apartheid, war, discrimination, crime e.t.c and with the same hand of crime he sang against, the sun sets on him. The rest of his music was and is still full of messages. Messages of peace, unity, brotherhood, respecting InI the Most High, Messages of love, self respect, respecting your neighbor. It is just so sad that this great messenger of reggae music was taken away in such a senseless manner. Globally revered, Philip's creativity and inventiveness kept growing. Reggae has lost one more of its bright stars and from all account, it was another senseless act. Only God knows why Philip had to go too soon.... Fare Thee Well Philip..... Fare Thee Well Lucky Philip Dube..... Rest in peace.... Till we meet again.

on a serious note i grew up attending kenyan reggea disco's on sunday's or wenesdays.
i still attend them whenever am in kenya. i always feel very happy to see place like hollywood reggea disco still functioning.
my plan has alway's been to one day unite all kenyan and world rasta's and hip-hopers? the true annoited future leaders.
i have been a rasta and a hip-hoper since around eleven years old.
i remember back in my secondary school days when one would lose his respect or friends if your colleague's found out that you attended a regular disco club instead of reggea at hollymbao(hollywood disco).
they other students would start calling you babyloni or sellout.
Sad, the bastards got him. We feel and share in the loss.Our prayers go to the family, particularly his innocent children who witnessed the entire horror.
To God we belong, only to him shall we return.
Fare thee well Dube.
