I kinda think Sean Paul got it over Beenie Man

[Novembruh]

Gimme the Light > Dude
Like Glue < Who Am I
Get Busy > King of the Dancehall
Give it Up to Me > Romi

...that said, Sean Paul's best song is him guest starring on a Beyonce track that ain't even listed

Beenie wins collectively. On this 4v4 though, he loses.

If you play Sean Paul's music to an international audience, he clubbers Beenie Man.

Beenie’s audience IS international lol. Sean Paul had a bigger stateside run to casuals. That’s it.

If you play both to an audience that actually knows how to dance….Beenie Man is winning


I like both

Nope..nah nope... can't agree with that one. Romie intro alone would end a dance....

I know SP personally and I am sure he himself would say Beenie Hands down, case closed (Beenie is the King of the Danchall) What he did in the 1990s was incredible, and still looked as the king in jamaica and he will go out with that crown. The closest to Beenie arguably is Bounty Killer who is another artist that is on a level waaaaay over SP. Sean was around from the 90s but his 2000 international breakthrough pushed him to international fame.

Its sad, if Sean Paul performs in jamaica nobody really messes with him, but Bounty Killer, Beenie Man, and Vybz Kartel are the real dancehall heavy hitters.

Beanie by a country mile. They didn't even play him with the Neptunes.

I grew up on Beanie among other things. Sean Paul was hot for a minute but Beanie has at least 3 decades of hits..

 

[MajesticLion]

Bigger "crossover" hits vs immensely bigger catalog of work



Beenie a wave rider anyhow so

I would personally push Shabba Ranks in that trio, but that's my nostalgia.

Shabba is a legend himself, he opened the doors for dancehall artist and international fame. Him and Ninja Man in 1990 was like bounty and beenie in the mid 90s, one was big on gun tunes, one on girl tunes, but were at the pinnacle so people always argued who was the top dj.

Beanie easy

 

[Liu Kang]

Sean Paul had far more mainstream appeal and success but when it comes to body of work, Beenie > Sean Paul. Also Girls dem sugar is probably a better hit to compare with Sean Paul's.

Anyway, Who am I and the Playground riddim are too iconic, I'd say it was the second wave of dancehall that hit worldwide in the late 90s (first one would be around the Bam bam riddim).

Ironicly, Sean Paul had a great tune on that riddim as well but his name wasn't yet ringing bells and at the time it was often tied with M. Vegas (Deport them, Tiger bone, Hot gal today...)

 

[intruder]

SeanPaul over Beenie?
