About

Yellowman’s appeal isn’t just that he's rude or funny or sings about sex with a frankness that borders on clinical, but that—eccentric though he is—he comes off as more or less a regular guy. Released within a year of Bob Marley’s death, <i>Duppy or Gunman</i> (aka <i>Mister Yellowman</i>) was one of the first albums to signal where Jamaican music was heading in the post-reggae era. Whether it was running out of stout at the grocery store (“Mister Chin”) or figuring out how to divide domestic labor (“Me fry the chicken and you boil the rice,” he suggests on “I’m Getting Married”), he pared down the heavy mysticism of roots for music that reflected the daily realities of everyday people. .
