how i caught it oh you cut it yourself give me a chance when did you cut a year though in the 70s yeah but you started old tiger as a singer not at least here believe now that's the priest when i was first yes being a sinner yeah and said well i won't be at ease you know from that time i'm going to try something yeah don't stand back yeah by me and say i'm fine people people accept me yeah more than ever i like dj so that is what they made a transition from singing to dj no so popular was your first reality sunglass tiger yeah yeah i'm gonna say a pizza because people are like arnold foreign all over yeah them time to know people start newer tiger than producers wanted to fight tiger [Music] [Laughter] yes so no that song came did it reach number one i don't remember that no but it did very well very well yeah yeah what did that song do for you as an entity and about then thank you asking a question okay account to me it's open the window and do it yes but tiger can be [Music] yes we already love missing you know so do that's where my rules you know yeah when popular came on did you you started flying yeah i said you left jamaica to perform before that so when when did that opportunity come when did they leave the country for the first time to perform okay there's a fourth zone crash yes up here this is university right yes student union four songkran metro manitoba blasters turmoil yeah huh mr link after lane i am dancing you mean length stinks yes my brother and yes we were in black star return yeah yeah were you the only dj on the song at the time no no but you were a part of it but to my to my explosion yeah of our worst people means unto me so are you taking class [Laughter] [Music] different yeah so no after the clash and poppy love which was the next song were really and truly taken to the streets where the people in accept and it was a hit song what was the third door or what led to the creation of one gaga yay tells you guys no i had some friends [Music] right yeah but when certain things never completely didn't want and the new new news yeah yeah so it wasn't the food thing the entire it was about friends wanting things from tiger no i mean build a video yeah all right you see you see that we don't know some people oh a grow stamina um one man get prizes you know nice you know the police monster yeah the influence that is signing at the end okay okay okay my um that a human being you know that make me more recognize your nasty yeah policeman being a bad man yeah yeah so the song led to that door but the sangno um tiger no longer got one of the legendary sagrados piercing yeah and you wrote that song because they say you have people are wrong your way when tires are just saying jdm happy yeah they're only pretending yeah you remember this song no longer god given peace no we can't agree with you so much look at it damn friend where you were you were still with the zone at the time or you would move over to shocking devices by then drive wherever you are oh your record for them you know rubber what brothers have been on yes so no longer got came out and as we said tag a ton star really young you would said we're for the girls let me also run down at the age here yeah you know guys yeah we were wrong yeah and one year girl back then was pinkie one of them and pinkie is a sister of dancer queen carly been a man girl so that sung no bs on some readings what's done for pinky yeah tattoo that no talk about it let me know how come you end up doing the song for pinky all right i can't dumb my heart yeah i said car pinky copy get over your car thank you yeah is it that you're the relationship was there but did they give yourself some chubbling thank you yeah so maybe if i had a little more tolerance to her movements would be together i don't know y'all up there [Laughter] so no it was because the relationship they kind of get a little weird why you do that song they're putting our back yeah no it's all right what would what what is this thing without you you shoot more atman it's so weird it's obvious yeah so yeah i'm all for going at the studio on the song four hours key but you can't be not really like how we want you to be yes so we know it's available so the song now was an attempt to smooth over things with pinky we're going to kuno work going down why it's gonna work yeah that people are going to film the other day okay but she was in the video tiger oh pinkie think it wasn't another video pinky unclean come back to me yeah it's still all right that man together together yeah some people like the good things they are watching now yeah give me your pizza now come back to me beautiful [Laughter] [Music] [Laughter] [Music] um again that i could smart or next song cause i beat somebody at our board come right up at this time tiger was arguably the biggest dj in a dance and music yeah yeah and you were flying on you were you were performing because you said when was inspired by your visit to england and you see big bed so you were traveling overseas now yeah everybody was a war advisor almost no like no like a chance like that everyone running pizza time yeah life change overall we have accepted i know we are the university um the jewelry came the car ski and the girls scam yes when i fell on my wheels but tiger was living the life the starlight right here yeah tiger was i flying as i said you know one of the main one of the dance our space the big name right when did you started working with shocking vibes how did that come about from long time ago i'm being a big leaguer yes obviously i have struck anyway yes no one becomes one big compound okay [Music] [Music] music street we got to go don't have a delay get them we gotta go now now now now i rise yes so you basically work for everybody at the compound then tiger from pentos to gossip to shocking vibes yeah which was your favorite producer to work with at the time though germans yeah so you were so cars what are they thinking you know tigers some of the artists yeah they have a king toby's jammies gossiping and germany and cleveland so all of the legendary producers seminar the building tiger you have worked with everybody ariji yes that's as you know immediate problem you don't know i was supposed to you don't find enough yeah and informative yeah you also did songs like ram dancer bulldog yeah you did collaborations with people like super cat that's a big big song big big suck yeah oh that sound came about though what america america right yeah people yeah um foreign again but you were also one of the first dancer artists to a tiger to really cross over because they did a song with fat boys that's one what about q-tip yeah yeah still you know about it who responsible for that fight why is that yeah laying supposedly on time again i didn't mind it yeah yeah what's that song recorded oh they are overseas then two party oh so you will do yours for them and then put them together okay oh that song did do from from a financial perspective [Music] from driving the nicest vehicle a matter of fact there is somewhere down the street that tiger was probably the first one of the first artists to own up bins in other business exactly yeah it's nice and also my mercy has been wasn't a regular mercedes-benz it was like an escort punch in this thing it's class a no it's hard yeah more smaller small one yeah it's smart yeah small merchandising it's coming like a car you know 190 190 what do you think coming on 200 now yeah so you were one of the first artists but levi's family don't care yeah tiger was a jewelry man yeah cosmic i've done an interview yeah but surely was it yeah yeah you know make sense yeah i could look like an artist i don't want to be one representing to answer yeah click open and come down come on so and you have four kids ten got four and two boys two words yes and their mother would have left them basically i don't wanna go yeah man but you were the one who was responsible for for growing them growing two yeah two other four the first two so so how old were they when you actually started becoming the star in the spirit yeah they were young at the time young young so hold your money to balance stewed your stage sure all of them things are where you watch them [Music] knowing tiger i mean you had the music at your feet so to speak you understand every artist one be like tiger ever produced a one wise tiger yeah remember we said that you started oh no you were one of the first entertainers to purchase a bins but you also like bikes so you love bikes yeah yeah but your love for bikes tiger would have also you know people people um burn me without me after pink tell me i love pinky you know but that never worked and you uh you met another girl by the name of donna thompson yeah so donna was he had done a few months before that unfortunate accident right talk do you remember the circumstances though which led up to the to that faithful day why it was the 18th of january 1994. you remember the circumstances that the that led up to that unfortunate incident america we are right but the people only saw them all right yeah so i'm out here from our tree the person who claims [Music] turn from me go into the runners when you're gonna stop and make me pass what you tell them to meet you and kill me so you actually saw the vehicle you just drove many people said that you were showing off on dilly dallying in a tiger gardener right fast enough so you weren't riding fast no see you passed your thumb yeah it'd be having a ride for movies [Music] that's what the doctor said he said right cool certain personality a memory yeah the doctor pronouns are dead so you're a dead man how long were you in hospital far though yeah you don't see it i'm saying it's god it was a praise god i was not scared at the time i'm saying them mixed up or gotta make it through you know god i'm a government one of them from from africa to all i'm going to well never like disappear what a coincidence you everything you know i guess so it was rough health-wise what and you were at the university hospital after west indies how long were you actually in the hospital for do you have any idea months intensive care thank you so you're in coma and you were in intensive care for about four months so what was it like though in terms of covering medical costs at the time to a tiger because you were an artist depending on going to the studio for record going on the stage perform but you were not confined to a hospital bed so the morning wasn't coming in anymore it's good when you work and use your brain and seal yeah so you have savings so the money the money dwindled so much that he actually had to borrow to cover some of my hospital cars somehow tiger you had many entertainer friends at the time you and many other men you also power and work together and at the moment never come to your head and said tiger but know the situation [Music] [Music] up they weren't invented not supposed to be that's right when the thing got really rough financially there was an effort to hold a fundraising event fire but by pulse led by kingsley cooper but none of the artists them with the exceptional bone tequila and probably a few others turn up but they know why they don't really want to come forward you stick out so no no no brushing them tearing up some people it's a june one like yourself moldy no killer killer yeah real general real man vermouth one diamonds yeah word on the street were tiger that the driver of the vehicle that hit after bike was a u.s diplomat did she actually come to the hospital to visit when am i too brave yeah so did she did did she not come to a tiger because she probably was fearful that somebody around you know would have probably hurt her i can't remember the questions thanks for asking yeah have you spoken to her anytime at all since the 18th of january 1994. she couldn't remember she never wanted to buy it so everything that she did was through the liar she'd never come to you and say my apologies xyz or oh the recovery process is why and some nothing settlement 10 years after the accident that them say what you will say memorabilia yeah not getting into the actual figures do it but you weren't satisfied with the settlement [Music] how can i be here so you weren't satisfied with the settlement because in reality tiger you would have lost a decade of your life trying to recover from that accident yeah so you you couldn't go perform your record people will build me up hello so what you know why do wasn't there a situation where you had a liar we are trying to fight because you would have lost considerable earnings over that 10-year period there yeah you want to hear my life talk to me where my criminal yeah [Music] a few months before the accident donna thompson came in her life she was your common law wife at the time she she would have stuck with you accidentally she would have stuck with you during the accident and during the recovery still she was there she was also there during this settlement well my mo saying this she was able to own me she was there but she wasn't there he also left jamaica for a while i like a portion of that i look for fortunate time done i was with you maybe [Laughter] about a minute for what when the settlement came you were with donna thompson at the time yeah but information is out there that all the money that was agreed in the settlement was signed over to her not to you yeah yeah so it means and that you will not know how much money you get in a city check and i said nothing you know i wasn't supposed to see that i don't see it yeah she also know took you on and you guys went overseas you know yeah yeah some higher places you know yeah so basically then tiger bs here so she would have used your status to benefit herself financially yeah yeah you were away you were in england and she would have also gotten employment with green sleeves to your recommendation i'm probably i'm sitting there but people are longer from around as well so she was one of the true anger choose what never tell boys yeah you know who's my bedroom yeah eventually you came back with 30 pounds in your pocket so you left her over there she put you up me come on you come on why did you come out though that's not where i'm at that's not where we're supposed to be so you decided to come back home because that is not where in your head you were supposed to be sure but you came back i broke mine again tiger well better than me someone broke down there foreign and happy i'm very happy make a lot of sense and no one knows you neither it works yeah me i played guilty people myself that know right um turned up live right thank god for life so despite the accident though you're still able to remember your songs they give thanks every time we go yeah you would have worked many places do tiger many many places where's your favorite place to perform hey nothing like logo certain caribbean yeah why somebody remind me of america makes sense makes sense california [Music] yeah so what you know after all the stages you have worked at the perform door sir tiger which stage are the biggest stage in terms of the crowd in front of you that you can remember the biggest crowd ever performed there's you one time one time one day it would be sting thing one time accept it yes because enough people want your tiger i know yeah yeah in america which one of them has done the best for you from a financial perspective with some film at the most money account to me my prize you matter no yeah everything you get when come on when and secondly [Laughter] i said artists x y z but you know i'd agree with tiger they come with this i mean accidentally ask no one complains of me about me hello that thing please right [Music] you are the first artist or vice bombastic because they never want to say fantastic and him use it and he'll never reach out and you'll never benefit from in norway at all no i've benefited from it but not a guru right now another another big song where i have heard um an artist kind of sample is popular you benefit from that either you know what you mean that yeah no so nobody from nobody from sean paul i've never reached or theory repopulated yeah i understand that steps are being made for you to benefit from that financially and there are other songs out there that tiger has done that has been sampled by other entertainers but you're not benefiting from those from those things i'm telling them say before they remember i said then i said what's the one god he wanted you to see the voice who is here yeah okay what do you do to see the voice queen and grab freezer yeah so those are your three biggest songs commercially what of all the songs that you have done tiger which song is your favorite song and that song that you made the most the song that come back to your most regular uh if you're on a quiet time [Applause] japan the second time i did that how much you want dreadlocks baby was so weird and i got here the june yeah really remember what that means [Laughter] before the accident tiger you were focusing primarily on music but if you weren't dj in our singing leading up to the accident what is that one career where you didn't say tiger do something else outside is your greatest achievement that thing that when they look funny i say yeah i may achieve that something you feel proud of other items yeah and anything where you would where you prouder where you achieve what that means thank you my life your life also um would you do anything differently if i get the chance to redo the entire journey new musical is there any one thing yes yo i'm sorry somebody that's up there one thing seven minutes that's what you're doing i want you to know differently if you couldn't do it over believe me my second question sorry i crashed [Music] [Music] an artist who came about who sounded like tiger no like a fool we're talking about zebra on some samsung sony yeah there is a word out there that you actually beat up zebra no lie no no no no nothing oh my god foreign [Music] oh also words in the street tiger for the people who really know who often times confuse tiger with zebra and rape accusations are sometimes levied against you not like that me yeah we never ever said much less yeah so that's not right that's all no come on happy yeah [Music] there has been it has been well documented that tiger was involved in in drug use somewhere along his his journey as a musician you want to talk to us about that i'm logan [Music] so who are you following me your friends are entertainers first you know god is good some some people are close to me you know yeah i thought were friends what do you want to take my life on my life in i have to come again from the beginning yeah keep doing examination what don't you interview and don't jump up on it yeah sure so tiger now has been the journey still continuously recovery but you have come on far away because as we said earlier doctors pronouns you're dead ty got dead but thai guy is still in more than nine lives there's no one more thing yeah them said somebody give cat nine left but like ten guys you even know what i'm doing again god if you wanted such a lie and a person with a life yeah and stop taking i was able to breathe [Music] foreign did you actually receive speech therapy ah next we said no i was supposed to get it or a support stop the journey is a rough week suggested financially it was rough um so no speech therapy i get some thumb done by matias earlier thank you i've been important you are important legendary yeah not present there let's do anything thank you so you have come far enough where you can go back on stage and perform you have done quite a number of shows in the past five five hours a year they actually went on a tour to the united states in 2017 keep on doing not doing yes you're not finished or go on still have more whoa and they are more about seven hours yeah no the real expression you know across from that last aircraft [Music] where was the first place that you went to perform you remember that yes america america what was that light though yeah after that yeah i really like [Music] um through the gear man it's not a problem man yeah yeah have you ever gone back on a bike tiger what a question we can't even answer i went and a motorcycle in miami and in kingdom 51 so you weren't scared doing that considering you see right about is this the sort of machine though you do serve you know yeah that's super machine was getting hurt he said we can hear the surprise ah that means thank you thank you you can narrate yourself where you can heal yourself that deep that's the truth it was either the lasting teacher our second person around stage when i remember oil you're still performing overseas as well yeah i've been in love when i walked i still love you and i said well you shouldn't crash where was the last place i performed overseas florida good reception again if you don't want [Music] before because you don't do a lot of recording anymore i'm assuming probably a dope player here around there but no you record new songs [Music] where the great freddie you would have voice as i said before with with super cat most people only can't dream all that gregory isaac anthony malva before the accident was there yeah one name um my thing is there anybody with anybody to work with up to the accident no way you didn't you didn't offer to do a collaboration with and they never get here i see anybody i wish they'd do a collaboration with another past like a question no yeah you want to see the female artist in jamaica [Music] who is that julia moore jody where i wanna know why but i say away i'm beautiful my name is it's nice to be imported that got permitted to be important but it's more important for me to be my voice yeah so no what has tag have been up to recently though i know these characters and that you want to tell [Music] you would have recorded so many hits and work with so many producers what is the situation where your royalties and publishing do you are you are you getting benefit are you benefiting financially from from the world that you would have put in during the years yeah so after all the struggles that you have gone through since the accident none of the money came looking at himself and said yo even if we never did do it before at the right time knowing for the right thing but that's the interview generally i'm assuming [Music] in vienna yeah but if i still go on i know i'll stop until i get what is yours well my name um fight goes on yeah so what's next for the great man though oneness only on me what made up even though they're not first we won't be one of the first to maintain if we do a tune with certain americans
