Sean Paul's run in the 2000's was a phenomenon!

Sean Paul had the Dancehall movement on smash

That album was fire. I expected his run to be longer tho. Brah was pumping out hits after hits.

Soundtrack to my early party run post high school.

Knew breh was over when I went with my friends to a party in white ass West Hartford(Elbow Room for those from the area) and downstairs in the dancefloor it was just hit after hit and pure white people jamming to his ish.

He never landed the follow-ups but hopefully he cashed out great off this one.

West Indian parties imo are still the best ones to go to.

Quiet as it's kept, at least in the northeast, you don't have the urban takeover of music without the help of the reggae/bashment mix genre. It was hip-hop AND reggae that toppled rock/ish.

Breh, how do you not have "Gimme the light" as part of the video list?!

That was the one that set him off?



You earned this neg

Any reason why his run was cut short?

I think he kinda went mainstream afterwards. I remember hearing a few of his songs on pop radio a few years ago. But dancehall in general fell off after 2007/2008.

Nostalgic as hell

Flashbacks of Sean Paul, Timbaland, and Pharrell/Neptunes being everywhere music-wise in the early 2000s

Last song I've heard from him was Temperature and that was '05

 

[International Playa]

Sean Paul was a global star, even cacs in Europe / Australia who don't listen to dancehall were bumping his music
