COOL DOWN? THAT'S IT?

Oh yeah, "Cool Down Mr. Cop". That ties right into current events. Not really. It's a song about getting hassled for licking the cup, getting stoned. And cool down is not nearly strong enough language. This is about where things become more about Gregory Isaacs. The song itself, well shit, Gregory Isaacs is Gregory Isaacs. Or was. He didn't do harsh. And harsh is what's needed these days.

But there's room for Isaacs, who had social commentary in his songs, along with the lady killers. If you are already familiar with him, check the interview/profile linked below. It's good, in depth and long. Learn some new shit.
