He now looks like the worse version of the once great Snoop Dogg. Drug is such a bad thing. These artists should always remember what happened to Whitney Houston, Brenda Fassie, etc. I know Majek Fashek has aged but he wouldn't have been this bad looking if not for drug. I still love his 'send down the rain' song. I don't know him that much cos he reigned while I was far less than 10years but I think he's worth some respect. |

[quote author=musicwriter] I' am a huge fan of troubled musician Majek Fashek. Long time ago (I think) in the early 90's when I heard he takes cocain and heroin I never believed it. I though it was a lie. But was shocked to see him looking so bad as the years go by. Some of you may not know that Majek Fashek is one of the best raggae artiste of all time (a prophet is not honoured in his own town). Forget about his drug side. Nobody is perfect. He's in the league of Bob Marley, Burning Spear, Culture. Are there fans of Majek Fashek out here?. I want you know that Majek is still our friend just that he's in trouble. Please let's do something for him now by raising awareness about the evil; hard drug. I love writing songs, just a hobby. What I' am proposing here is we create awareness on Majek Fashek's deteriorating condition by releasing a ''save Majek'' song. I already wrote one and it's below, titled ''where's my hero?''. ....................................................................................................................... WHERE'S MY HERO? For many years there've been news Majek do drugs. I never believe it Cause, He's my hero For many years there've been news Majek do drugs I never believe it Cause, He's my hero There've been rumours for many years Majek do drugs I never believe it Cause, He's my hero It is true? what I' am hearing you take cocaine you take heroin I wanna know Cause I feeling so sad Lost my hero If you making the mistake of doing drug o X3 Never forget it's the same drug'll kill you X2 If you making the mistake of doing drug o X2 Hey coming out ina Majek style Let's do Majek Fashek My hero where're you?. eh! Historic Majek Fashek Jah!. Everybody dance Come and lets's dance Shake am your ass Shubiduba de Wake up and dance Sit up and dance We 're gonna dance Follow me go dance Come and lets dance Where my hero? X3 I lost my hero I love my hero Free your mind from cocain my friend Free your mind from heroin I say Free your mind from ganja my friend Free your mind my hero my friend What will you gain when you lose your mind What will you gain when you lose your soul What will you gain when you lose your mind What will you gain when you lose your soul Everybody dance Come and lets's dance Shake am your ass Shubiduba de Wake up and dance Sit up and dance We 're gonna dance Follow me go dance Come and lets dance Where's my hero? X3 I lost my hero I love my hero Majek Fashek Where's my hero? .................................................... Let's raise awareness about the dangers of hard drug use. I believe Majek could still saved when he get to know this project. If he gets revived I will write him a full album for his next release. It's not yet late to save him. Contious article me brethren song Writer. Him Pupa majek Fashek is a reggea artical all time. Its a whole up of pity dat d rain maker is down.

pheesayor: Threads like this should Make the front page, let's support Majek. We shouldn't wait till he dies before rolling out drums I don't wish him bad but my questions is that back in the day's wot meaningful things i.e investments or buying shares in bank as he done during his youthful age? This a man that reigns more than our present Wizkid, Olamide etc when he was still in active in his career as a musician. Sometimes you might be thinking that you won't live long but to God who has the grace we keep you till old-age, if you made a mistake for not doing proper things at the right time it we surely bounce back. Ayinla Omowura is the only Nigeria indigenous that play for Queen Elizabeth when she visited Nigeria in 1957. Majek Fashek(MF) was invited by Queen to her palace in 1960s to perform during for her during her birthday. So much life n enjoyment, this a man(MF) that when ever he landed @MMIA in Lagos, it we be as if a president or a high personality is around. But despite the fames n wealth then!!!!!!!! Where it is now to support him  ?? |

Birth name: Majekodunmi Fasheke Born: Benin City, Nigeria Genres: Roots Reggae Occupations: Singer, songwriter Years active: Early 1980s— Labels: Interscope Records Associated acts: Jastix Majekodunmi Fasheke, popularly known as Majek Fashek, is a Nigerian reggae singer and guitarist. Various translations of his name Fasheke (Ifa-kii-she-eke) include "high priest who does not lie", "powers of miracles" and "(system or medium of) divination does not lie". Early life Fashek was born in Benin City, Nigeria to an Edo mother and a Yoruba father. Musical career Fashek first gained national fame on a television show in the early 1980s as a member of Benin- based reggae group Jastix. His bandmates included Ras Kimono and Amos McRoy Gregg. They toured for many years with fellow reggae group The Mandators. In 1988, shortly after Jastix disbanded, he began a solo career and quickly became the best-known reggae artist in Nigeria. [7] His song "Send Down The Rain" was a hit, and he won six US-based PMAN Music Awards. After leaving Tabansi Records, he was signed to CBS Nigeria in the early 1990s before moving to Island Records' Mango imprint, a label more accustomed to marketing reggae internationally. His first album for the company included a cover version of Bob Marley's "Redemption Song". In 1990 he was signed to Interscope Records and released the critically acclaimed album Spirit Of Love, produced by "Little Steven" Van Zandt. Flame Tree released The Best of Majek Fashek in 1994. He has recorded several albums for various labels since, including Rainmaker for Tuff Gong (1997) and Little Patience for Coral (2004). Fashek is one of the increasing number of African artists to be drawn to the music of the Caribbean, specifically reggae, rather than indigenous hybrids such as fuji, jùjú, or highlife. Having grown up in a fervently religious and musical family, he was exposed to the imported sounds of Bob Marley at an early age, alongside the innovations of local stars such as Fela Kuti. Fashek's major influences are Bob Marley (whom he strongly resembles vocally, Fela Kuti, and Jimi Hendrix.
