King Yellow Re-Crowned at Summerfest LA
Photos By: Marie Mendoza
  Queen Mary Park in Long Beach California was immersed in mellow and positive vibes on * date when MVP Productions threw down their first Sumerfest LA reggae festival. Planning on making this an annual event, MVP ***look on site for info
Some of reggae’s heavy hitters were in the house and concert goers made no qualms about showing how much they adored the performances. Huge amounts of love permeated the place and audience members demonstrated their feelings through tumultuous applause. King Yellowman was "crowned again" by patrons who went beserk when he appeared on stage.
The dancehall DJ legend who rose to iconic stature over # of years, was missed on the regular festival circuit and Long Beach sure did show him how much. Rushing the stage an enthusiastic crowd absolutely roared as they grooved to his tracks. Energy propelled energy and King Yellow gave some serious high energy moves to a cheering crowd. Hamming it up, Yellow man, referred to by one fan as, just as good if not better than he was in the 80’s, had people laughing hysterically at his wit as he had many jokes up his sleeve.
 
With the crowd in the palm of his hand this undisputed dancehall ruler, performed songs like, "Come Back Darling" and the Elvis driven, "Blueberry Hill." Dancehall DJ greats outnumbered singers on a roster that included Lady G, Ninja Man, Beenie Man, Lady Saw and culture master, I Wayne.
I Wayne’s stern yet gentle persona, coupled with that smooth voice and almost floating stage presence gave him big props – especially with the ladies.
DJ divas, Lady G and Lady Saw gave their all. Everyone was singing along as Lady G enchanted the crowd. Always maintaining a "level head," she performed "Enough Respect" connecting with the women and her "dope" performance included a song about anti child abuse. Just the mention of her name had the crowd went in a frenzy… then Lady Saw took to the stage, full of energy and charisma. She performed songs like, "Right Rope You Walked" and "No Less Than a Woman,” dedicating the latter to all females.
Draped in a white suit, Ninja Man got on stage and the crowd went ballistic. This was the first time he had ever appeared in LA and people made him feel loved. Dancing the entire time, his hungry fans just gobbled it up. Performing songs like, "Murder Dem" and "Girls Dm Suga," Ninja Man was "killin it" on stage.
When Beenie Man appeared, the crowd went absolutely nuts. Flags and hands were waving in the air as The Doctor had the crowd chanting. Wayne Wonder and Lady Saw joined Beenie Man on stage for a special performance. Paying tribute to Bob Marley, Beenie Man ended off with the song "Redemption."
Also appearing were Bascome X, who gave a solid show, Boom Tony, who swooned the ladies, E-Dee, Jamina and Ninja, as well as Mello Banton and Bugsy Malone all of whom performed well.

Yow Ralington, ppl nuh like how dem post naw get published while some likkle eeeBlo**clo**yat tings a get posted
Wha dat?
Yellowman was king once upon a time..seen..as far as fe market reggae music
We know say nuff DJ ina fe him time did better than him. Nuf a de lyrics him use to talk belongs to General Echo, Welton Irie, Lone Ranger, Jhonny Ringo, and Brigadier de General.
Most styles originated in a de business a Briggie create dem. ( de most talented DJ Jamaica ever will see ina de business..if you want to write something..research bout him and write something fe de ppl dem understand the business)
Jamaican PPL frighten over this color ting and dem did amaize fe see a albino mek it like dat ina de DJ business, so him get nuff props.
Even though Fathead was him paring partner, the blackman did not get the same respect.
But we naa watch nutt'n still cause music is love..so dem give him king and we respect dat.
Now a Beenie time fe shine..a him a carry de torch..a him a king..low de blackman and mek de man time fe star him segment go through.
King rise and king fall
Another youth soon come tek that segment.
Oonuh love hold on to old things like oonuh hold on pon de old ass politicians dem weh can't mek things progress.
Free up oonuh mentality

A king will always be a king even if he's dead or is time passes. King Yellowman was crown king first so he is still the king; Beenie Man was also crown king but he can't run his home so how he is going to run his tron? Most of his songs is about girls but he can't control De Angle. Ay man who can't control their woman must not doing something right at home; so this why his woman roam.

To Zagga Zow: Yellowman will always be the king. You must remember that in Yellowman's time, that there was nobody to compare him with; Furthermore, he was a gentleman and never was one to build any strife or war with other DJ's. Yellow came out at a different time when Reggae Music wasn't this popular, and this is one of the reason why Beenie is more accepting and popular. Give praise to Yellow for starting the trend in the early eighties. Remember that Yellow was always popular for his personality: Good Humur & Performance, and could ride any riddim.
