Terror Fabulous was one of the hottest dancehall DJs at the outset of the 1990s but just as his career was taking off he completely disappeared from the music industry.

    Growing up in the 90s you would hear Terror Fabulous on every riddim, and all his songs are big hits and will always be. He doesn’t even need to make new music. He’s one of those artist where you can get a full night‘s performance from him with no additional artist, no additional songs. I wish him well

    Reminds me of Dennis Brown. Living in times when dancehall was overshadowing everything else, I lost touch with Roots Reggae in much of the 90s and 2000s only discovering in the 2010s that Dennis Brown had passed away over a decade ago..

    "Action" was hot and played everywhere even venues that strictly played Hip-Hop and R&B. "Gangster's Anthem" was my jam, though. I hope he gets the care he needs and that he's still fulfilled. I recall being confused about who was Buju and who he was.

    My spirit is telling me he got fixed. Look how he was popular and music was popping. He just vanished like that….bipolar disorder doesn’t really make you go out like that. If so, it would’ve showed up in the beginning of his career. Jealously and envy is a big thing. Since he parted with Dave Kelly his life went left. Stayed prayed up.

    Terro - Commander B on Choice FM got me into Terro when Choice FM was Choice FM, immediately I thought it was Buju, indeed, Terro style was heavily influenced by the Gargamel, Bi-poplar is still manic depression and is the Crown Chakra - eat everything that is Purple for the Crown like egg plant+ the depression means the pressure is affecting the Chakra system which is your central nervous system, whatever triggered Terro he still pulls through which is his testament, we don't know how sum one got to where they are - many artist like Junior Marvin+ and regular people all have bouts of depression - Terro delivered his messages like he was supposed to and this presentation reminds all of us that the message is in the music, big up Terro, yes you are fabulous - t-ankhs for the memories - big up to all those connected with JA and beyond And the beat goes on

    Saw you flashed up Cutty Ranks. I definitely wouldn't consider him to be ragga. In my opinion ragga doesn't just mean digital dancehall reggae. Mid 80s was very different than the nineties, just as the 90s is a lot different than dancehall in the 2000s. Maybe I'm wrong, but there are huge differences between decades in dancehall.
