█▓▓░▓▓▓▓█ █▓▓█ │ Third World is a band that some reggae │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ purists disdain because they dare to │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ deliberately cross-over to other genres to │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ popularize their music for international │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ mainstream audiences. Despite the critics, │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ Third World remains one of most enduring and │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ popular Jamaican bands in the world. Unlike │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ many Jamaican reggae bands, comprised of │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ hungry street kids with raw talent, no formal │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ musical training and only their passion and │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ drive to spur them to the top, the members of │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ Third World come from the Kingston middle │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ class. │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ The band was founded in 1973 by Stephen "Cat" │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ Coore and Michael "Ibo" Cooper. Cooper is a │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ policeman's son while Coore's father was a │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ deputy prime minister who also taught music. │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ Both Coore and Cooper received formal musical │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ training at Forster Davis School of Music and │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ Kingston's Royal School of Music │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ respectively. Each also had solo and group │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ experience on the Kingston reggae circuit. │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ Cooper and Coore met while playing for Inner │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ Circle. Other charter members include Richard │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ Daley, Milton Hamilton (another Inner Circle │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ veteran), Irwin "Carrot" Jarrett (a veteran │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ percussionist with considerable concert and │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ television production experience), and Cornel │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ Marshal. From the start, the band was meant │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ to be self-contained, a rarity back then. │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ Third World did this so they could perform │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ wherever they wanted rather than constantly │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ scrambling for musicians or a sound system to │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ support their singing. │

│ XXL was established early in 2002 by a │ █▓▓▓░▓▓░▓▓▓█
│ group of DJs with the goal of ripping │ █▓▓▓▓▓░▓▓░░█
│ music, and having fun doing it. Since then│ █▓▓▓▓▓▓░░█
│ we have realized our original goal, and │ █▓▓▓▓░░█
│ have become one of the biggest suppliers │ ▀████▀
│ of DJ related music, while still managing │
│ maintain our laid back approach to life │
│ and ripping. │
│ │
│ Although we have been around for some time│
│ now, and are respected by many, we are │
│ always looking for new people to join our │
│ fun loving family whether you're a DJ/not.│
│ │
│ We are currently looking for: │
│ * Suppliers of unreleased music │
│ * Retail cd suppliers. │
│ * Individuals working at record stores. │
│ * Anyone who can better XXL │
│ │
│ We are also looking for an internal WHQ │
│ for the private use of XXL members with │
│ the minimum requirements of 30Gigs of │
│ storage, and speed of 100mbit. Great │
│ benefits for people who can provide any of│
│ the things mentioned above. If you feel │
