dream i had a few nights ago... i was watching recorded Saturday morning cartoons from the late 80s/early 90s and then "Scratch" came on - the animated adventures of everyone's favorite Jamaican producer. the illustration style was very full and lush colors with thick, varying black outlines, sorta neo-70's Filmation - "Jackson 5ive"/"Fat Albert" meets "Ren and Stimpy"/"Hammerman" (but with way better animation). the opening credits had The Congos "Fisherman" playing and closing credits with The Upsetters "Blackboard Jungle Dub". i believe there was zero reference to or depiction of smoking since it _was_ a US children's TV program.

A great entertainer, showman, spiritual guide and man of unbridled eccentricity - but above all else, a genuine bona-fide production genius! How he recorded the majority of his Black Ark productions on basic radio broadcasting equipment through a haze of collie smoke is beyond comprehension. Dense doesn't begin to describe his wall of sound - unstable track levels moving around in the mix, the hi-hats, the ambient tracks of rain and found sounds drenched in space echo and sunk into the mixes, the lifts and drop-ins - listening to his work really does sterilize most other music due to the highlighting of unused negative space and sonic width on most other records by comparison. Phil Spector, Brian Wilson and Lee Scratch Perry are IMO the best producers of all time. Rest in peace Scratch, I'll never forget touching your hand and feeling your energy, it was an honor ❤️💚💛

An absolute legend. I know about him collaborating with the Beastie Boys on one their Hello Nasty tracks.
