bounty killer and other stuff

Today I trawled round the shops looking for 'The Biggest Ragga Dancehall Anthems 2002' 2 CD set on Greensleeves, which I think would do two of the jobs you mention, but no one had it. Amazon have got it, but someone might see my address. It's heavy on the Elephant Man, so he must be this year's big thing, as he was last year.

Disclaimer: Maybe it's different down in the ghetto.

This year, seomehow I haven't felt the urge.

Partly a) I've been listening to ragga influenced vocals on a lot of UK garage, b) I got depressed by the whole chi chi man homophobia thing (especially from Capleton who I thought was more conscious), and c) partly because I see all names from the previous years.

How much has 2002 evolved from 2001? Do I need to check much of it out? What are the killer new rhythms?

Please don't get angry at me for this shameless promotion. His book is called "Shaggy: Dogamuffin Style." You can get it from amazon.com...I'm just so gosh darned happy that his absolute obsession with dancehall has produced a book and not just a whole wack of mixed tapes!

Also, if you're interested, check out Beth Lesser's "King Jammy's" for an inside look at the king of 80s dancehall-recently reissued with wicked pictures, interviews, and a design by the same folks that do Blood and Fire's sleeves. Gorgeous...and not jsut because I did some work for it. I'm so impressed with the book...so are David Katz (author of "People Funny Boy: The genius of Lee Scratch Perry") and John Masouri of Echoes...

I really think that dancehall should be taken more seriously--it seems to be gaining ground...

Is there a way to find out which rhythm is used on a given track? Like a sample FAQ for dancehall?
