the digital era when they started constructing beats using drum machines (the Shabba era upwards) to me saw some of the best dancehall music...

the beats were crisp and clean, easy to DJ (mc) to and easy to dance to and most importantly you didnt need to listen to the vocal to recognise it as a dancehall tune


If you look at a lot of the riddims in dancehall now they are very generic, same thing is happening to afro beat and RnB, the only way to distinguish what genre an instrumental is, is when you listen to the artist on the song

ah 'distinction' when the instruments in the music sounds like they're following a pattern or 'patterns', i got you

I miss this era

I was just bumping that So So Def "Sleeping In My Bed" remix last night. I feel sorry for kids in HS now

I always hated that remix :scusthov:

Yeah I'd say the 90s to mid 2000s was a great time for dancehall. Sheesh we ate in college (early to mid 2000s). My friends and I were always up on the latest riddims :banderas:
