so do you guys like dancehall as much you like the old school reggae? I like all the dancehall stuff mentioned thus far, like Bounty Killer, Barrington Levy, Buju Banton, Sean Paul, etc. I know alot of reggae fanatics that DESPISE dancehall, I was just curious if you guys feel the same.

SATCHMO 03-19-2005 10:51 PM

John Brown's Body
Israel Vibration
Capleton
Black Uhuru
Buju banton

I like really fast, dark, and aggressive dancehalllike bounty killer and old school Capleton. I used to be one of those reggae fanatics who really despised dancehall, but now I really like it, although I'm having trouble finding really good dancehall that fits my particular tastes. any suggestions?

Old Jamaican dancehall=good
Sean Paul,Bounty killer=crap

I think Lee 'Scratch' Perry`s Arkology collection is pretty much essential listening.

Ma Cherie 03-24-2005 02:11 PM

old Shaggy as in "mr. lovalova" was good but most that is coming out in american has been really sucky as of late

Ma Cherie 03-24-2005 02:12 PM

just listen to some calypso and you'll see what i mean

All_Nite_Dinah 03-24-2005 09:30 PM

I think its sad when reggae has been turned into endless threads about shaggy and sean paul.

hookers with machineguns 03-25-2005 09:57 PM

^ well to be fair there was only one post about shaggy and sean paul respectively.

my all time favs are also my recommendations-
Burning Spear
Peter Tosh
Bob Marley
Jimmy Cliff
Lee Perry
Mad Professor

SATCHMO 03-25-2005 11:03 PM

And if Shaggy and Sean Paul were truly representative of the whole dancehall genre I would hate it just as much as Dinah does

All_Nite_Dinah 03-26-2005 09:47 AM

Dont get me wrong I looove old dancehall reggae and even lots of current stuff(Dr. ring Ding, king Django, Hepcat) But this craze of pop/ragga americanized "dancehall" is just an excuse for whit kids to grind on eachother. Traditional dancehall reggae was much much more rooted in acctual reggae/ska with musicians like Dodd(probobly the most famous ska Mc/producer/dancehall owner) MC ing over dub tracks. Nowadays the mainstream wants you to belive that dancehall is rap with steel drums.

Seriously, I used to feel EXACTLY the same way for EXACTLY the same reason. Contemporary dancehall ( and they really should call it something other than dancehall) is just as much a product of Jamaica as Trad. Dancehall/reggae. Just as American music has evolved so has Jamaican music. Yes, there's some real garbage in the genre and I'm in the process of sifting through it which can be a long and arduous process, but for me just to a have a handful of albums I like is worth it.
