Reggae/Dancehall Thread - Welcome to Jamrock!

[Monkey Pink]

Haven't seen a good thread on Reggae here, I'll post some of my favorites.

I've currently been on a kick and so far Damian Marley and Buju Banton have been my favorites, I'm also digging a lot of the 1980's stuff like Eek A Mouse and Yellowman.

 

[The Cunting Death]

I'm just tempted to post Shaggy but most of his hits are barely Reggae or Dancehall.

Dude, love me some Shabba Ranks, might see him perform live this winter on a cruise.

Now that this thread is revived I'm gonna post some motherfucking BOUNTY KILLER, the true king of dancehall music.

Stalag 17 all-time best riddim

Who says reggae can't be depressing?

Loving the music you all have posted here, here's some more Buju. LOVE this music video.

Dub is perfect for two things: getting really high, spacing out and drooling on yourself, or focusing intensely on a mentally demanding task.

When I was 14 I used to listen to mom's copy of Kaya, good shit.
Gotta check other joints in this thread later, I wanna get into reggae/dancehall.

I mean, Bob Marley & Bunny Wailer are probably where most people started discovering reggae, you're definitely not alone in that aspect.

I HAVE to post more Buju, he's amazing and slight powerlevel, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't find him gorgeous too:

That Harder They Come album has been played a lot lately through my headphones. I highly recommend it.

Oh man, Massive B Sound System was great! That game has some great music.
This song was on another reggae radio station, RamJam FM.

 

[Akashic Retard]

Love the bassline on this

Dub was my study music in college. Now I find it's perfect music for driving. In fact I just listened to this on the way home today:

Got to drop some Prince Far I in here. The Voice of Thunder!

NOT EVEN THE DOG THAT PISS UPON THE WALL OF BABYLON SHALL ESCAPE HIS JUDGMENT

I love Mr. Vegas, he starts a lot of drama on social media though.

Dancehall and reggae are definitely two very different genres, but they have the same problem with artists always getting into beefs with each other, similar to the hip hop/rap industry.

Definitely still in my Bounty Killer mood, it's his voice. That fucking voice.

Here's a fun song by Elephant Man and Lady Saw, lyrically dumb but amazing to just dance to.

EDIT: I FORGOT ABOUT NINJAMAN LMAO! NINJA MI NINJA!

This one has sentimental meaning to me. My dad would always play it in the car on the way to the beach when I was a kid.
