Erm...Godflesh Fiend wrote:I'd be really surprised if Dubstep didn't start making it's presence felt in Jamaica. Jamaica was the king of bass with it's Dub & Reggae but that kind of slipped away with Dancehall which as far as I've heard is lacking in the bass department. I don't like Dancehall at all due to the lack of bass so I think a fusion of Dubstep & Dancehall would be kick ass! I'm sure that fusion is already happening here in the UK so maybe it's time some producers went for a holiday in Jamaica and hooked up with some Dancehall stars.

You don't really know what you're talking about there, do you? No bass? LOL! Jamaica showed you what bass could really do, don't make such stupid comments.

backyard riddim was pretty much jungle... from like 1998...Hops wrote:interesting question...L Que wrote:did jungle ever get played in JA?
remarc, kemet, congo natty etc
Steelie & Clevie produced at least one jungle riddim, Ninjaman's Donette i think...as far as i know this was the only jungle tune to come out of JA..
Have to largely agree with you here.most current dancehall does nothing for me I'm afraid.It's just too over produced/slick and a bit cheesy imao.The original 80's digital dancehall kicks ass though,the productions were much rawer and more stripped down then. There was a great Digital Dancehall primer in last August's Wire mag.if I can find it it I might scan it in and upload it.Im also fed up all the with the "batty boy fi dead,etc" ish as week,get over it people.Godflesh Fiend wrote:Elementalism wrote:Erm...Godflesh Fiend wrote:I'd be really surprised if Dubstep didn't start making it's presence felt in Jamaica.

Easy tiger!
I've been collecting Ska/Rocksteady/Reggae & Dub for almost 20yrs so I'm well aware that the most beautiful and bass heavy music comes from Jamaica. Regardless I believe Dancehall is piss-weak in the bass department. That and the fact the lyrics tend to be beating of the chest macho pish is the reason I dislike Dancehall. I've heard loads of Dancehall and it really does nothing for me......especially after listening to a Heptones, Burning Spear or Tubby production.
I've listened numerous times to the Dancehall acts mentioned so far and like I said earlier it does nothing for me. If you have particular songs from Dancehall that kick major ass in the bass and lyric/vocal department paste me some links and I'll be more than happy to give them a listen.
Exactly my point.human? wrote:ugh.
yall know how many riddims come out every year?
and how many different tracks are on each riddim?
listen, if you blanketly dismiss dancehall, you are only gonna miss out... the dancehall will still get made, the good & the bad, but you will just not hear it...
search out good music, share when you find dope stuff, but genre wide slagging is obnoxious and just tells me you arent listening.
has anyone listened to the merge riddim yet?
I'm sure there is good Dancehall......and I'd be happy to have it come to me easily......but I'm afraid it's a type of music I'm not going to dig for when I've heard so much of it already to decide it isn't my cup of tea......and I really have tried over the years to get into it believe it or not.human? wrote:ugh.
