Not King Sunny Ade or Keith Whitley.
I thought Fela died two or three years ago, but I could be wrong.
(It's obviously not Fela, either..)

I would assume that the use of the word "reign" would imply that he had a
regal name (King, Prince, etc.)... something void was obviously exploiting.

Heh heh, not only does he have a regal name, but he was mentored by a duke
and mentored a king and a prince... >=} And his career was phat, but that's
prolly not where he got his own name.
(Yes, I found it on *gasp* the Internet.)
(Took me all of five minutes, with the info given. >=} )
(Maybe I should get a job doing net research... ?)

brighn obviously knows the name of the artist in question..
and since he has given several additional clues, I'll let
the rest of you just work on those for a while..

I'll phrase it the way I responded when I found the website:
Who in Hell is King Tubby?
=}
Seriously, though, it was neat reading about him.
Assuming I'm right, here's an easy one:
The logo that both Kid Rock and Eminem have tattooed on their right forearm.
(Bonus point for knowing whose is drawn correctly.)

King Tubby is correct. Who the heck is King Tubby? I'm glad you asked..
}-)
Born Osbourne Ruddick, Tubby got his start scavenging the neighborhoods
of Kingston for broken down electronics he could turn into parts to
build his homemade amplifiers. At one point, at least according to
what the album notes claim, a pretty astonishing percentage of Jamaican DJs
and sound men owned soundsystems hand-built by King Tubby.
Eventually Tubby took his electronic wizardry into the studio, where
he was one of the foremost pioneers of the Jamaican musical style of
Dub, which remixes single tracks in the studio to add sound effects
and alter the tempos. Soon Tubby's dub versions were becoming more
popular than the original tracks he started with.
Before being gunned down outside his home in an apparent robbery
attempt, Tubby had a prolific and successful career, as did many
of his protegees, several of whom adopted "royal" names themselves
(e.g. "Prince Jammy")

Dub sounds like it's similar to some forms of techno... is that an accurate
representation?

Some forms of techno definitely incorporate techniques that were
pioneered in Dub, but if you were listen to a Tubby dub version
the relationship to reggae and other Jamaican music forms would
be more readily apparent than the connection to modern techno.
One of the signature characteristics of a lot of techno is the
extremely sterile mechanical beat. Reggae also has a signature
rhythm, but it's at least a little more complicated, and a lot of
the cool effects achieved by the best dub masters succeed by
messing around with your expectations, kind of throwing you off-
balance by a fraction of a beat. It's obviously kind of hard for
me to explain but when it's done right it can be really cool..

actually, that makes a good deal of sense, and I can imagine it fairly well.
thanks.
on with the show. Kid Rock, Eminem, tattoo, hint: this SHOULD be obvious, even
if you know little about them except that they're white Detroit rappers...
so try a blind guess =}

btw, Kid Rock's right forearm is clearly visible on his "History of Rock" CD
(Eminem's is too, but not on the cover, but rather the under-the-CD tray shot
on "The Marshall Mathers LP" CD... so you'd have to find an opened copy of
it).

Drawn correctly? Hmmm...so I would presume it's something that can be drawn
backwards by accident, or just off-kilter. That made me think it was the
NIN logo, initially.
What is the Red Wings logo?

Gypsi's got it this time. =}
Eminem's only has one tail/flag to the left of the crossbar.
Kid Rock's has two, which (I *think*) is correct.

Yes, it should have two tails to the left.
The upcoming movie "Filth and the Fury" details which band's short-lived
career?
