THIEVERY CORPORATION - THE RICHEST MAN IN BABYLON
DUBROOM (DUB) REGGAE VIDEO
REVIEW
WWW,
November 2008 - In 2002, Reggae and DUB
had come a long way, resulting in many
sub-genres emerging throughout the decades.
Thievery Corporation is one of the
collectives that came out of this
development.
As we see pictures of the many wicked things
Babylon does to the people of the world, a smooth
and groovy music plays and the singer tells us all
about the Mystery.
When the four minutes are over, you know one
thing: you don't wanna be The Richest Man In
Babylon.
Musically, the clip is just as interesting as
the topic. We hear a melodic form of toasting, we
hear a drum and bass beat that is not Reggae but
still does give a Reggae vibe, or to be more precise: a DUB vibe.
