Jennifer Lopez Does Dancehall [video]

Yes, you read correctly. Jennifer Lopez featuring Lil Wayne is straight reggae/dancehall. I wanna see some dancehall moves to this when JLo performs this.



I don't even care, I'm feeling this song. Produced by professional dancehall rippers Stargate. I don't even mind them biting because to be fair they do it well. If they start hooking up features with our artists we'll be even - can't keep taking from the earth and not replacing. Written by UK's very own Taio Cruz (genuine surprise). Listen to his demo below



Seems to me as if reggae is fully back in the minds of the suits in the top of the music industry building similarly to '03-'04. Well, they were biting from before that but they finally accepted our dancehall music to the public's ears in full vibe at them years. I like this movement. I tweeted about this happening last year

On a similar note, this song "Hypnotico" by JLo



Was originally Tami Chynn's



Reminded me of this

Jennifer Lopez "If You Had My Love"



The concept of reggae where it's predominantly drum and bass with minimal strings. R&B wasn't like that traditionally. It sound madder when they re-licked it in dancehall



Speaking of demo's and reggae rips by Stargate, DJ B alerted me of this. Hit songwriter Ester Dean's demo of "Rude Boy" - one of the smashes she has written for Rihanna. Loads of people in the comments saying she sounds like Justin Beiber. What you think?



Rihanna's sounds better, still.

Here's her demo of Rihanna's "What's My Name". This sounds better.



And on that note, I'm out

EDIT

Bonus:

Nicole Scherzinger feat. 50 Cent "Right Here"



If this was Rihanna, we'd say she's chatting with a Jamaican twang

Marvin Sparks x Raekwon interview

Wu-Tang's in-house "Chef" better known as Raekwon proved he is still a force to be mentioned alongside the hottest rappers in the hip hop game with the release of Only Built For Cuban Linx... pt. II - sequel to his 1995 debut album. Marvin Sparks caught up with the hip hop legend to discuss rapping for drug dealers, people caring "more about stats than raps", his inclusion in MTV's Top 10 Hottest Rappers list, and converting to Islam. Marvin Sparks: It has been almost fifteen years since the first Only Built For Cuban Linx, an album that was a 5-mic classic when The Source magazine held weight. Why did you decide make a sequel?

Why Cheetah Woods, whhyyyy?!?!?!

We must all know about the predator nyamin woman (no bowcat reference intended - or am I lying? *shudders*). Anyone heard the voicemail he left for the girl he's been PARrin (there was a golf reference there) his wife with? Easy now my selekta as we rinse some tunes for di one name Tiger. Man like him doesn't know how to play. (By The Endz not Ruff Sqwad) How you gonna leave a voicemail for a girl with your real name at the beginning? Do you want to be held to ransom? Man from 'the ends' know (in the words of Kano) "That's slippin'!" And when isht hits the fan (like it has) he's buggered. Not something I deal in but surely the point of cheating is for an assortment of ladies. All his ones look the same; blonde, no breast nor batty.

Remember When Riddims Were King

Before you read, thank you for your interest and hope you enjoy. I actually fleshed it out into a book. You can get your copy from www.nolongstories.com   Now for what you came here for... When Riddims Were King 23rd May 2020 will be remembered in history for one of the most epic events in one of our universe's darkest times. We will never forget the night dancehall kings and former extremely heated rivals, Beenie Man and Bounty Killer, battled on the Verzuz platform built by hall-of-fame producers, Timbaland and Swizz Beatz. An unfiltered, 360-degree view on Jamaican dancehall events was showcased; DJ’s and dancing (Beenie Man’s daughter Desha Ravers) to deejay’s clashing on the same riddims. The latter elements provided the jewels in the night’s highlight reel, and undoubtedly the best thing to happen on the Verzuz series. Word spread like guava jelly within the dancehall community and Jamaican diaspora upon announcement. Not only was it a clash between the longest and fier
