So you've got to live up to your name Or else I'll put you to shame

Listen!

If you say you a selector You a fe have good selection And I say if you say you a de special Man I say I want to know your potential

You a say you a madness You a say you a de best But when I put you 'pon you feet A-some a-some a say you can't play de beat

And I hear you say a Clash a you ruler Say a Clash sound cooler Say a Clash sound sweeter And now-a-days man a measure mile in a metre

Live up to your name Or else you die in shame And a so me say fe live up to your name A so me tell you say you die in shame

Some a dem a bodysnatcher Some a dem a barracuda But who a know fe me Jah Jah Fe me Jah a me creator

Flying saucers, rock-and-roll Natty Dread a fe be in control It's all in the whirlwind I say you've gone with the blockhead

And I say me say dat some a dem a Sex Pistol Nipple erectors A so me tell you set dem still up on a corner An a who on a farm And I'll tell you 'bout the X-generation Me know dem a victimed 'Cause dem no know fe me sweet Jah Jah

Clash a you ruler Say a Clash sound cooler And I tell you say a Clash sound sweeter And now-a-days man measure mile in a metre A none a dem deh measure gallon in a litre And I tell you say me know dem a cheat ya

'Cause when you living inna fame You got to live up to your name Or else a suffer and you die inna shame And I tell you say it's all in the game

Some a say dem a selector Dem a fe have good selection Or else deh moving in the wrong direction And deh no know dis a reggae vibration And a so me say a Clash a you ruler And dis ya one a say it a musically cooler

Me say fe live up to your name Or else you suffer and you die inna shame 'Cause when you living inna fame A so me tell you say it's all in the game

And so me talkin' about Specials and Madness beats, Big body snatcher, selector

Flying saucers, rock'n'roll See you gone in the whirlwind And I tell you say, a you a de blockhead And some will tell you dat you dreader than dread

And a-some a say a Clash a you ruler See a Clash sound cooler Clash sound sweeter Man a measure mile in a metre

When you living inna fame You got to live up to your name Or else you suffer and you die inna shame It's all in the game

This is the game of life We no want no strife Game of life We no want no strife, no no

Tonight’s random record shelf pull…

Michael Campbell aka Mikey Dread “Barber Saloon”

Yet another artist I found through The Clash. He’s the guy that produced their“Bankrobber” single and appeared on the “Sandinista” album and some b-sides. This has a different mix than the more common album version.

A nice but somewhat tame, at least by King Tubby standards, dub on the b-side. I’ve never been much of a fan of singles. Their a pain in the ass to flip through at stores and I’m not a fan of having to get after three minutes to flip the record. But I’m finding they’re fun to buy online and that reggae singles of a certain vintage have some pretty fun dub b-sides.

Do you have a recommendation when designing a black character? Or tips, or maybe pages you visit for references?

Suck at explaining stuff but I’ll try

‼️ Ethnic Features ‼️

So, the art world is in a very weird place when it comes to ethnic features. The conversation was about how using POC ethnic features as an insult in media was damaging and needed to stop, and that somehow morphed into people being scared about drawing people with those features.

Black people have big ears, big noses, and big lips. That's not the problem. The problem was that media was using it to make us look like giant ape, monkey, monster creatures. It's okay to give them these defining features.

Also, remember that brown people have lighter pigment under their feet, hands, and bottom lips. 🌸 (didn’t really know where to put this but drawing mix people is basically a spin the wheel we come in all different shapes and sizes and features. There’s really no wrong way to draw a mixed POC.)

‼️ It's Just My Style ‼️

I'm so goddamn tired of hearing this goddamn excuse. A style does not mean you can't properly represent POC. I would even go on to say that if your style is stunting you so grossly that you can't draw a proper black person, you have a bad art style. Sorry—not really.

Media has shown us that style does not stop representation. The only thing stopping that is your ignorance and refusal to improve. Great examples of ranging styles still being able to represent different POC are "Adventure Time," "Disney's Soul," "Proud Family," "Afro Samurai," etc. I'm just saying this because I've seen this excuse be more prevalent in the art world, and it's just better to nip that in the bud.

‼️ Whitewashing + I Don't Know How to Use the Color Brown ‼️

I've seen people make the excuse that the skin color is lighter because they use a pastel style, but they never bring up the fact that the only color in the art that's lighter is the skin tone. 💀

Also, the whole thing about people saying they don't know how to shade and color brown palettes is just completely bullshit. I would even say that trying to shade pale colors is harder than shading darker colors. Additionally, there are multiple artists and tutorials showing you exactly how it's done. You have no excuses other than you just don't want to.

YouTuber Sinix has a great video on painting skin tones!

‼️ Black Hairstyles ‼️

I love dreads. Dreads are a very pretty hairstyle. However, we have more hairstyles other than dreads. If you're going to draw black characters, I would encourage you to branch out and explore beyond dread heads. There are so many unique black hairstyles out there. We need to move on from just focusing on dreads.

YouTuber Ari has two wonderful videos on black hairstyles in video games. I would recommend checking them out.

‼️ References ‼️

I love referencing old black media such as "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," "The Proud Family," and "Little Bill" (before all the Bill Cosby stuff came out). I also appreciate how "House of the Dragon" implemented black people into the lore. Other references include "BOTW/TOTK Rottmnt," etc.

Some artists I reference all the time are Mohammed Agbadi, who doesn't do many art tutorials anymore but often discusses black characters in media, and his art is still amazing. Ethan Becker has a very interesting video on the racist triangle that I recommend checking out.

On Instagram, I love the art of Jojo.Dreamie, Chibichanga12 (holy shit, love their art), Bruniosktch, and Caw.Chan. I also just reference my family a lot. 💀

This is a lot of rambling, but what I’m gonna say is don’t stunt yourself by tricking yourself into believing that your art can’t include POC 🌸🌸‼️💌💖💌💌🎀💕💘‼️🧁
