When Posted January 28, 2002 Share Posted January 28, 2002 i understand that reggae is mostly about political views and im not knocking that but aargh theres just something i dont like about it and its pissing me off trying to figure out why everytime i hear a reggae song i feel disgusted... maybe its because people around here bump it outta there rides way too much? maybe its cause my ex loved it? maybe its cause... i dunno but im gonna find out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Posted January 28, 2002 Share Posted January 28, 2002 I agree with WW that most people's only experience in the genre of reggae music is Bob Marley & The Wailers. But those same people listen and know of only a small portion of Bob's music. Here's usually the only songs the 'average' perosn knows about Bob Jammin No Woman No Cry Could you be Loved Buffalo Soldier Basically what is on the Legend album But his musical archive is incredible. From some of the early stuff with the Wailers where it didn't sound like Reggae at all. Dancehall is kinda like combining Reggae beats spinning a little faster and rap music , singing in the same style a rapper would rap over a beat. Dancehall is usually played in clubs more so than the typically laid back grooves of reggae. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bug Posted January 29, 2002 Share Posted January 29, 2002 i love reggae. yes dancehall is an old form of reggae. sort of like soul and funk being the precurser to hip hop. dancehall was the popular music played on jamaica in the 50s and 60s. it influenced other styles like rocksteady, ska, then reggae. reggae was the last style of these to come about. i prefer all the old reggae artists, i really don't like the new stuff much. willy wonka has an alright list there, maybe i would add King Tubby or Burning Spear.

Pistol Posted January 29, 2002 Share Posted January 29, 2002 Sorry Bug, but reggae was the original. Dancehall is the newest and is derived from reggae and rap. Dancehall wasn't even around in the 50's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AeRoSoL JuNkiE Posted January 29, 2002 Share Posted January 29, 2002 You forgot about Burning Spear! Beenie man isnt reggae at all..hes just from the island so people think its reggae. That crap sucks...yea bob is one of the best artists man...i like his old shit from mid 60's on...people nowadays just listen to bob marley cuz they smoke weed and they think its cool or some shit...thats gay.

Guest TEARZ Posted January 29, 2002 Share Posted January 29, 2002 actually pistol and bug, you're both wrong. the real roots of jamaican music are in a music called mento. from american blues and jazz influences (alnong with mento) came ska in the early 60's, from ska came rocksteady and from rocksteady came reggae. there are all kinds of offshoots off of reggae, but those are the basics. the roots of the "dancehall" sound that people commonly refer to come from the late 70s when rasta music started to die down. check out the roots radics for an example. but 90% of all jamaican music since the 50s was aimed at the dancehall, so it's not a very descriptive term... ragga, which is essentially digital started up in the 80s off of dudes speeding up a casio beat, no joke. a listen to early ragga will show this. i've listened to jamaican music forever and it's some shit that i'm real into. and modern reggae is good stuff too. for those of you "keeping it real roots" people, go listen to buju's til shiloh. and tell me it doesn't stand up. and pilau is right. everone should get the opportunity at least one in their lives to being doing some straight scandalous shit in the corner of a dark club to bam bam or ghetto red hot. hot damn.

Guest bug Posted January 29, 2002 Share Posted January 29, 2002 yes tearz you are right. i'm a bit confused about it but i do recognize that you know what you're talking about. but pistol, you are wrong, very wrong. ska came from reggae? sorry man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
