Shake that Booty right!

Advantages: Unltimate Booty Shake
Disadvantages: Some songs are out of place!

Top dancehall tunes to get anybody on the dancefloor - even if you are sober. You can't help youself, you hear the DJ mixing the tunes, the song kicks in and your ass starts moving on it's own. Next thing you know, your in the middle of the dance floor struting your stuff. It really is that good. You do have a few songs on this CD where you think "oh, this is a random tune to put on here". For example, Morning Ride on CD1, it should be on the Summer ...
...have your had core ragga dancehall tunes and all of a sudden a slow RnB sneaks its way in there, but with this CD you just don't care because the rest just blow you away. There are also a few female artists on there which is great, you can't beat a good female fasty hot gal singing her tune. When you listen to them, you can almost sit there and imagine how sexy the video would be, and wish you were in it. However, this CD mostly male artists and ...

Him Name Buju Banton... Nahh Mr. Mention

Advantages: Lots of bangers
Disadvantages: Ends on a track that's weaker than the rest

“Mr. Mention” was released in 1992 as the second album from the Jamaican Dancehall musician Buju Banton. It dropped soon after his debut (within a year) and so had him showing just how productive he could be at the time as he brought lots of his Dancehall material (that became much more Reggae-styled as his career developed and he embraced Rastafarians ways. 1. “Batty Rider” The album opens up with one of the biggest singles that he had released ...
...that here you get him blasting through a fly tune that has him bringing through the sort of controversial lyrics that gave him notoriety when he broke into the game at the age of 15 with “Boom Bye Bye”. It is a hardcore tune, but one that I can’t say is really for all due to the themes. **Five Stars** 2. “Love How The Gal-Dem Flex” This is a big tune on the release and one that is seen to build upon the sorts of things that were heard on the first ...

Dawning of a New Era: AMAZING!

Advantages: Perfect in every way! So many tracks!
Disadvantages: Nothing

...one of them! Dawning of a New Era gathers together tracks from the classic era of reggae, 1968 & '69, and like the equally-essential "Dancehall '69", was compiled by Michael De Koningh, which means you get an impeccable selection of prime reggae, beginning with the massive tune "John Jones" from Rudy Mills. From there highlights include the so-terrible-it's-brilliant "Rescue Me" by The Reggae Girls, the even better "Su Su Su" by The Pioneers, a perfect ...
...Flint", and "Reggae Hit the Town" - the absolute classic tune from The Ethiopians, plus my personal favourite - "Splash Down" by The Crystalites, a driving instrumental which could be used as the musical dictionary term for "skinhead reggae instrumental" (if there was such a thing), it's so good. With a great mix of skin organ instrumentals and vocal anthems, and with two CDs there are so many classics pakced on here that you'll have a fantastic ...
