Who's The King Of Dancehall?

[THACEO]

i saw beenie man on BET the other day claimin he's the king of dancehall, then tried doin some dance and ...**saves negative comment**.

so on a serious note, who is the real king of that sh1t? granted that beenie's been around the game for a while, looks like he's insecure about his position...

His new songs are nice though: Dude ft. Ms Thing, Shawnna and King Of The Dancehall (debuted last week on 106/Park).

so reggae heads who is the Real king of the dancehall? or comin hard.
vybz cartell? sounds like he's lyrically nice, though some of us cant understand that language.
kardinal is hard ...
is shabba ranks still alive?
mr. vegas anyone?
Elephant Man?
Sean Paul?
Wayne Wonder?
Snow?!!!
Shaggy?

[Diggy_Dat_Niggy]

Right now

Elephant Man probably

but bounty killa is always up there...just not in the pop american society apart from that no doubt song

and you know sean paul is still big (no homo)

[nystate_2infinity]

Bounty Killer - a.k.a. - The Warlord...He is the King

Here's an example why http://www.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=6C3137D2D9563B7E76D4C2E779A347FA

Elephant Man probably

and you know sean paul is still big (no homo)
excuse me for my popness. i actually just accidentally added bounty killer last minute.
If the mods see this please replace nina sky with bounty killer :D
and all Sean Paul for other too.

--------------
i saw Don Yute was signed to Slip-N-Slide. and saw a song of his with Ying Yang on TV (and got it too).

Don_Yute_Feat_Ying_Yang_Twins-Row_Da_Boat-Promo_CDS-2004-XXL

anything from him?

-------------------

[THACEO]

and you know sean paul is still big (no homo)
the rest have been there for a while but i gotta say Sean Paul is the only one can fit the crown.
my personal favorite has been mr. vegas. but it looks like pitbull is about to end his career.

nystate_2infinity props for the bounty track. i dont understand ishh but the beat is shakin the apartment place.

[THACEO]

so where'r the kings crowned? new york, jamaica or canada?

[jahmikes]

My Yute the first name up there should be Bounty Killer, the true king of dancehall and where is Sizzla on that list. Bounty is the king because he has not only played his role in the dancehall effectively but he has influenced many of the rising stars in dancehall. Elephant came up through Bounties scare dem label. Bounty launched Baby Chams popularity and career. He has brought the fastest rising star in the biz Kartel, and also Wayne Marshall, Predator and Jaguar. Beenie does recieve some recognition but the killer is the king of the dancehall.

[roddie digital]

SoulController is the undisputed king of dancehall

[Fa Shigga]

Wheres Buju Banton?!

[THACEO]

ok my bad. seems like i fucced up even puttin votes based on what "i" know.

if anyone can contact mods and modify the votes, i'd appreciate. yall can drop knowledge (recommended tracks) too so that i can my ignorance isnt exposed next time.

modify poll to
1. Vybz Kartell
2. Shaggy
3. Beenie Man
4. Kardinal Offishal
5. Buju Banton
6. Shabba Ranks
7. Sean Paul
8. Elephant Man
9. Bounty Killer
10. Sizzla

[illustrius]

Bounty.

[CWEBB]

Bounty.

.....

I also fuks with Sizzla and Elephant man.

so we expect a beef btwn bounty killer and beenie man? with what you sayin it looks disrespectful for beenie man to do a track called King Of The Dancehall. i mean its a nice track, but quite frankly i think Sean Paul fits that king title more than he does.

--
good looking on the background stuff BK has done. any recommended Bounty Killer tracks?

[Wilt Chamberlin]

[Rawuncutt]

^^^ Buju had da dancehall scene on lock from like 92 to 95 dawgiez. So he at least deserves a nom. Beenie iz washed up. I mean him and BOUNTY ova did to me but if I had to choose between them I would choose BOUNTY.And Kardinal iz not dancehall jus dancehall influenced

[The Official]

Kardinal aint dancehall

imo its between Sizzla / Sean Paul / Elephant Man

[CWEBB]

[Dunny Brasko]

Beenie man kissing rupaul is one of the most disgusting things I've ever heard. He should be happy most americans don't know about it.

what the hell that got to do with the music?? Btw lol@ vybez, mr vegas,sizzle,etc... what have they done to even be nominated.

The true nominees are as follow

3. bounty

THE END

[thekingsmen]

Why do u constantly call me nitequill. I'm not him. Second u just mad cause someone had to correct your dumb ass.

[Dunny Brasko]

Why do u constantly call me nitequill. I'm not him. Second u just mad cause someone had to correct your dumb ass.

LOL, another typical predictable nitequil reply. thik3rd exposed you a long time ago. You're a sad insecure kid, I can tell.

rbk it got something to do with the music because gay bashing is part of dancehall. Beenie can still do a good show, still rips riddims(sometimes), but I can't take him really serious.

Are u still mad that your comparison was so dumb, someone had to point it out. Hiphop is everywhere including Norway, so just b/c u think u got say cause u live in the U.S., then u need to think again.

1. defend anything BUT gay behavior.
did they kiss mouth to mouth? dizzamn coz besides lil wayne, beenie man is one of the ugliest mofos i ever seen. those eyes look is really scary.

2. if i'm not wrong mr. vegas was nominated for best vocalist for Heads High.

3. apart from Action i cant name any other buju banton or bounty killer songs. do they have any Classic songs that should be known?
only reggae tracks i hear on reggae specials on radio are... who got the keys to my beemer, Freaks (lil vicious doug e fresh), Informer ( :) ), murder she wrote, here comes the hot stepper, oh carolina, it wasnt me.
^^^ these tracks are played on the radio when they have reggae dj mix sessions. but nothing on buju or bounty.

[P.Floss]

Okay all the false pretendas claiming to know anything about dancehall fall back. This chart is simply GARBAGE....
Where's Spragga Benz (The HARDEST LYRICS in Dancehall)
what about Assasin (The cat that is blazin the Dancehall right now in 2004) I'll give you the Kartel, warlord and Ele but Sean Paul ?/? He no longer gets any play he is basically the new Shaggy.......
AND you EVEN put Shaggy on that damn chart....
ALL the TRUE Dancehalll MASSIVE STAND the F******CCCCKKKK UP !!!

The Hottest Acts in Dancehall

5. Ele
4. Vybz Kartel
3. Assasin
2. Determine
1. Kid Kurupt

For those that can't follow. Review research use the internet...That's what its for. My work is done !!!!

[Karisma]

Bounty Is the King

Beenie is raw when he wanna be

Buju goes without saying



Vybz is the future, sweet to the belly owns most other artist souls

[mizzensch]

I think alot of yall are too caught up in the here and now.

Beenie has an ASTOUNDING amount of classic dancehall records
between 95 and 2004

You cant really say that about any other dancehall artist. Shabba had his couple years (88-91), Buju had his (92-94), Shaggy had his, etc...

But NONE OF THEM have the catalog that Beenie has. Granted he peaked in the late 90s, but even in the past few years, he's good for a few hits a year and always a solid performer with a dependable quality record on any riddim album.

No way that he's not the king in terms of all-time dancehall.

As far as right right now - Id agree though, he's not running isht the same way as say Elephant Man or Sean Paul...

[Thor]

Currently, I'd say Spragga, Sizzla, and Mad Cobra. But overall prolly Bounty, Buju, or Beenie.

[kwizard]

Ele............

[robbfwhite]

Bounty Killa is my personal choice for king of dancehall. He has been consistent for as along as I can remember. Always bring the goods. I got some of his early stuff on cd here, such as celluar phone, still listen to it.

Beenieman though i think is more prolifiic than bounty killer, he probably has a lot more hits, but bounty killer has much more substance.

Buju has the best album by reggae artist in Til Shiloh and deserves to be mention in this for all his other stuff too.

Spragga benz is step bellow the main three. For a while I thought he would be the next to blow, but he blow it.


Vegas and Elephant man also deserves a say cause they been holding it down the last few years while some like buju are kinda fading.

I like Vybz Kartel but he needs a few more years. He could be just another Red rat, hot for year, and then red rat who?

This shyt's gettin tired, nyquill...

You're a disgrace to the norwegian people man...you callin me mad, but you're the one gettin emotional, callin me names and all that dumb kiddie shyt :D

It's really disgusting when a whiteboy from norway(you offcourse) pretends to be a latino from the bronx.

Have a nice day.

I also fuks with Sizzla and Elephant man.

Just keep this to yourself for your own safety.

BEENIE MAN

[Xplicit Lyric™]

I call Buju's ish Reggae.

c/s

I don't consider Buju dancehall. Wayne Wonder, either, I think he's more on the lines of soca music.

It's either between Beenie Man, Bounty Killer or Spragga Benz IMO. I like Sean Paul, too, but he can be a little thin.

The fellas shouldn't sleep on Tanya Stephens, either.

ok thanx.

[jama]

Great thread. The only guys how should be mention are Buju, Bounty, and beenie. Buju has the best album but he also had the greatest reign from Browning hit Jamaica he was just the MAN till like 95, he released like a great song per week. Then Bounty and Beenie came on the scene around the same time and if I’m correct I believed bounty won the battle between the two, greatest battle of all time regardless of music class Bounty has the better substance and credibility with the people while beenie has the better flow/delievery. Ask the chicks in Jamaican they will say beenie ask the guys its bounty. I would choose buju because he is a mix between the two from hits to substance but not as much gun talk as bounty and the substance in his music pushes him ahead of both, end of thread, oh and buju is the closest you will get to Bob Marley, its astonishing how the guy made a hit about were a fuuking condom, his consciousness in his songs from beginning to now is just unbelievable.

[Danny Banton]

LOL at Buju not being Dancehall.
