Boy do I like this song.

The backing track in spots sounds like something from the Magnetic Fields' Holiday.

There is some really neat dancing in the video.

I also like this song. Dutty Rock is pretty solid.

― adam (adam), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 01:21 (twenty years ago) link

Which is strange 'cause I thought "Gimme the Light" sucked for a long time.

― adam (adam), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 01:21 (twenty years ago) link

Such a great song. In the last couple of months I must've listened to it every day. What's the video like?

― s1utsky (slutsky), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 01:22 (twenty years ago) link

Though I'm not sure what you mean in re the Magnetic Fields thing.

― s1utsky (slutsky), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 01:24 (twenty years ago) link

Check the video on MTV.com. The dances they do in the video were all developed by the Jamaican answer to Bez (that was his name wasn`t it?)--Boogle. Each dance goes with a recent Jamaican hit--"Row like a boat," "Signal the plane," etc.

Oh, and S1utsky--I`m workin`on that CD.

― cybele (cybele), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 01:36 (twenty years ago) link

it has a delicious synth sound
the Heartless Crew remix of Gimme the Light tops the original

― Keith McD (Keith McD), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 03:04 (twenty years ago) link

cybele that is awesome!

I'll try the video but MTV.com usually breaks my computer.

― s1utsky (slutsky), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 04:18 (twenty years ago) link

ps cybele are you emailable at all?

― s1utsky (slutsky), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 04:20 (twenty years ago) link

sean paul videos are all the best parties i'm not invited to :~/

if you want to see more, check out the videos they stream on www.reggaesun.com

way cheap and way hilarious.

oh, and yeah, i'll be emailable by the 4th...

BuyOut riddim - delectable is the word!

he's hot and cool guy

This is the best Sean Paul single. That it goes sort've minor key for a bit (it does, doesn't it? or am i really ignorant) makes one think that maybe SP has more than one thing on his mind, maybe.

― Dan I., Friday, 1 August 2003 03:15 (twenty years ago) link

What do people think of the remix of Blu Cantrell's "Breathe" with Sean Paul? I really like it. I think I had been underrating Dr. Dre as a producer. He's been pretty consistently outstanding of late.

And again, the backing track to "Like Glue" really sounds the Magnetic Fields' Holiday.

― amateurist (amateurist), Friday, 1 August 2003 03:17 (twenty years ago) link

Still don't hear it.

― s1utsky (slutsky), Friday, 1 August 2003 03:44 (twenty years ago) link

This is totally the best song on the album. But if you think of the "I'm Still In Love With You" / "International Affair" diptych as one song it might be a tie with that. It's just gorgeous how those two songs go together.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Friday, 1 August 2003 03:51 (twenty years ago) link

It's really a shame that "Deport Them" isn't on Dutty Rock.

― cybele (cybele), Friday, 1 August 2003 06:03 (twenty years ago) link

amateurist vaguely otm about holiday-"like glue" confluence

― nnnh oh oh nnnh nnnh oh (James Blount), Friday, 1 August 2003 06:14 (twenty years ago) link

deport them is a belter of a track - a like glue is such a peach of a tune, i've been playing it for, like, ever... also the whole of steely and clevie's old to the new album (re-versioning old joe gibbs classics and where i'm still in love with you comes from) is a pearler - beautiful, beautiful cut of i'm not ashamed by culture on it

― Dave Stelfox (Dave Stelfox), Friday, 1 August 2003 08:55 (twenty years ago) link

Nah the song on the tabla riddim is best, track 2 i think. I love the big skronky bassline on the Buy Ouy riddim, it's great that Sean Paul is an ambassador for all these awesome sounds.

― sean g, Friday, 1 August 2003 12:39 (twenty years ago) link

totally - that's why when a certain village voice ilx0r said about something "at least it's interesting, unlike what sean paul's doing" my reflex, "NO YOU'RE WRONG" response kicked in!

― Dave Stelfox (Dave Stelfox), Friday, 1 August 2003 13:00 (twenty years ago) link

haha - what jackass said that?

― nnnh oh oh nnnh nnnh oh (James Blount), Friday, 1 August 2003 16:30 (twenty years ago) link

"Deport Them" is amazing, I also listen to that almost every day. Also Amateurist ever since you mentioned that "Breathe" track I've listened to it about 100 times.

― s1utsky (slutsky), Friday, 1 August 2003 17:30 (twenty years ago) link

Yeah, well, the eternal cry of the soulseek-less: can I find it anywhere on the internet?

― amateurist (amateurist), Friday, 1 August 2003 17:32 (twenty years ago) link

Email me & I can work something out for ya.

― s1utsky (slutsky), Friday, 1 August 2003 17:36 (twenty years ago) link

Wait I have to email you? Fuck this.

― amateurist (amateurist), Friday, 1 August 2003 17:37 (twenty years ago) link

I heard the clip of it on the end of the "Get Busy" video and downloaded the whole album on a dial-up just to find it, and now I put it on every mix cd and when I get a few drinks in me I start a "SEAN PAUL FOR PRESIDENT" campaign. Last night when I was kinda drunk and playing Risk I listened to Holiday twice through, and maybe it's just because the two are now conflated in my mind, but I totally see where you're coming from.

I really like the Althea & Donna sample in "International Affair", is that a popular riddim? It isn't very dancehall, that beat

― Sonny A. (Keiko), Friday, 1 August 2003 17:41 (twenty years ago) link

Does the US version not have "Samfy I" on the Glue riddim? Because that is the best track if "Get Busy" isn't.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Sunday, 3 August 2003 08:41 (twenty years ago) link

seanpauls new video is so good. all the dancehall dance moves r on the video i was over happy when i first saw the video well done love u

― lil mo, Monday, 4 August 2003 00:02 (twenty years ago) link

Saw "Like Glue" performed live on MTV's "From the Hard Rock Cafe..." thing this weekend. Twas killer. Sean Paul sang the "trees up in my head" line with this beautiful escalating melody I hadn't heard before. Breathtaking. The guitar player screwed "Gimme the Light" up something awful, though.

― Ess (Ess), Monday, 4 August 2003 17:07 (twenty years ago) link

as any fule kno, i love this. first time i heard it was as a warm up to a hiphop show and i liked it more than anything that happened on stage that night.

i love sean paul he's so hot

― jessyca, Wednesday, 24 September 2003 23:37 (twenty years ago) link

When she says "number two" does he mean it in the way that R. Kelly means "number one"? I don't geddit.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Wednesday, 24 September 2003 23:44 (twenty years ago) link

She? Don't you mean he? When he says "Me nah play number two", I take this to mean that he won't play second fiddle to another guy in his relationships.

― o. nate (onate), Thursday, 25 September 2003 15:30 (twenty years ago) link

Actually, just because I'm a persnickity asshole, he says "Ima nah be number two."

this is really great, love the video, the 'guest' vocal by whatever is the name of the other guy and easily better than his first single.

I likes me a bit of Sean Paul. Get Busy is his best single.

― chap, Friday, 11 January 2008 20:04 (sixteen years ago) link

no, "Deport Dem", "Infiltrate" and "I'm Still In Love With You" are better than "Get Busy"

― The Brainwasher, Friday, 11 January 2008 20:59 (sixteen years ago) link

get busy is alright, not my favorite diwali tho

love like glue

― deej, Friday, 11 January 2008 21:04 (sixteen years ago) link

Def. not my favorite diwali. Not even my favorite diwali that was a US hit (Wayne Wonder kills) and possibly not even my second fav (Lumidee also amazing) and there were tons of Jamaican sides that cream it.

― Alex in SF, Friday, 11 January 2008 21:24 (sixteen years ago) link

nah, get busy is awesome. when it first came out i thought the melody was a little annoying but now it is classic.

― Jordan, Friday, 11 January 2008 21:28 (sixteen years ago) link

my fave Diwali is TOK - Galang Gal

― The Brainwasher, Friday, 11 January 2008 21:32 (sixteen years ago) link

Okay Lumidee? Come on now.

(Wayne Wonder is better, yes.)

"Temperature" sounds good in a club (where I imagine it was designed to be heard).

"Gimme the Light" is weak compared to practically all of his other singles.
