RUDY GOING TO JAIL!! FIRST TIME HEARING THE SPECIALS - A MESSAGE FOR YOU RUDY | REACTION

[@blakstarliner4552]

Rudie is Jamaican slang for rude Boys(gangstas)

[@geoffwright3692]

This was recorded in the late 70's / early 80's when race relations in the UK were at an all time low. That was countered by the arrival of two-tone bands like the Specials, that were formed by both black and white musicians. In the middle of the 3 singers is Terry Hall, who lad a long and varied career in the industry, only to sadly pass away just before christmas 22 aged 63.

[@bigfrankfraser1391]

not just "like" the specials, but by the specials, they were the foundation of two tone

[@Beluga_Too]

@@bigfrankfraser1391 along with selector and others. wasn't a one band thing.

[@northpacific311]

You caught the ska spirit, great reaction. 😎🔥☮💚

[@AnAdorableWombat1]

I freaking love Ska!!!!

[@loremipsum7739]

RIP to Terry Hall. This was the music of my youth. BTW, the original was recorded by Dandy Livingston in Jamaica, and Rico Rodrigues (the trombone) played on the original.

[@jasonbrittain4100]

Classic!!! Specials and madness are great bands to dive into if you like this vibe

[@pipmaple]

This British band were known for their lyrics on the social commentary of the time.

[@JohnSmith-gp3co]

This is a cover. The original is by Dandy Livingstone

[@southbayspike]

Yooooo!!! You gotta do their song Ghost Town. I bet you’ll be like, “Whaaaa?? I’ve heard this in a movie…” cause it’s been in A LOT of movies.

[@brooksysdead]

[@trevorwilliams7279]

[@echopryme]

Two-Tone Ska isnt just a music style... its DAMNED near a religion! 💯😎 I have more checkerboards in my house than a chess museum. 💯

[@austinatkins8723]

Hey bro. This was my first time hearing this shit. And imma be honest I’m a rudy rn. Just got out for the first time. And I felt like I was being targeted. But I hear the message. And I’m determined to adhere to it.

[@austinatkins8723]

Also song recommendation. Eagles - Desperado. Much love bro. I hope you got that Coast Contra freestyle breakdown coming too.

[@antlermagick]

Think we've all been Rudy at some point. Best of luck for the future bro

[@sagewayne28]

Rudy isn't a specific person, as in a person's name. It's slang, short for "Rude Bwoy," as in bad man, gun man, thug, gangster. So, basically the song is "A message to (all gang bangers)." It's also a cover of a 1967 Ska song. And of course Ska was created and developed in Jamaica. The trumbonist on this song featured in the video is legendary, Jamaican Ska trombonist Rico Rodriguez who learned to play the trombone when he was at The Alpha Boys School in Downtown Kingston.

[@bigfrankfraser1391]

correction, rico was cuban and grew up in jamaica, so he is the cuban born trombonist

[@paulchapman2569]

Rudy isnt a person Rudie is Jamaican, gangsta

[@bryanforis1839]

This ska music two tune way like bad manners English beat and madness great music

[@UKSkaface]

The guy in the grey suit is Neville Staples and started out as the band's roadie before getting on stage dancing, toasting and singing.

[@fabiodanca7038]

Rudy is for Rude Boy, Jamaican term for bad guy...

[@mrvertigo23]

Rudy = Rude Boy

[@RastaSaiyaman]

The three guys singing lead, later spun off from the Specials forming a band called "Fun Boy three" which again is well worth checking out.

[@erickent3557]

Rude Boys!

[@arturlome7102]

You killin' me!

[@glastonbury4304]

SKA, came from Jamaica in the 60's, made its way to the UK in the 80's and hit the States in the 2000's...

[@calescapee9642]

I played in a band back in the Early 90s and our drummer and Lead guitarist were formerly in a band called The Modsters. Ska hit the States way before the 2000s.

[@glastonbury4304]

@calescapee9642 ...not popular though...its more a Jamaican British genre...

[@patriciab825]

Do "Ghost Town" by them next! It's poppin'!

[@garse70]

They’re talking about the rude boy. These guys ruled my world in the early 80’s. Nothing like it! No trombone solos since!

[@PUNKinDRUBLIC72]

Gangsters!

[@valeriewestgarth5935]

These guys got together in Coventry I thought they were magic. sadly Terry Hall died last year you should feature Ghost Town I’m sure that song could also reflect the US at the time.

[@cameracamera4415]

It’s Two Tone

[@TokiDoki-jt3of]

You know before there was reggae...there was ska.... Bob Marley Mr brown... whoa

[@brandonchristopher1083]

Fun song to drink to! Day drankin!

[@AnAdorableWombat1]

Lmao Rudy was going to jail!

[@johnsrensen3366]

Ska reggae rules❤

[@danielcarter94]

Love seeing people find Ska.

[@markdriscoll8119]

Every ska band worships this song. I think it’s mandatory for a ska band to cover it.

[@lynnieiapichino1121]

☮️💙💙💙🔥😎

[@michellez1414]

If you like the Specials, you'll love Madness, a super upbeat ska band from England. One Step Beyond is a great morning vibe. House of Fun is a blast, too.

[@glastonbury4304]

Long live SKA and Northern Soul...

[@jamesfinnigan8451]

Ska music specials madness bad manners the beat all great bands

[@eljayr517]

[@jdktoo]

[@kadathsmith]

London in the 80's. Youth club, cider and weed.

[@worldfamouslanglois4805]

Besides all the cool music ska bands were a lot of times multi-racial .. if that's something you can say anymore.. diverse? The beat etc. Also wtf happened to having a horn section? SKA FOR LIFE!

[@alhollywood6486]

Stop trying to be so hard, open your mind and heart.

[@AnAdorableWombat1]

He is! Did you not watch the video? He is grooving to the music and listening to the lyrics. Stop being unnecessarily negative

[@snookslayer4559]

Sorry bro, but you don't deserve the Specials. It's for those who truly appreciate great music.

[@mrxces69]

Ska Ska Ska, Jamaica Ska
