TO VEREDAY NUFF RESPECT MY YOUTH MYSELF AS AN AMERICAN LIVED IN WESTMORELAND FOR 13 YEARS .FIRST TIME WAS IN 86 MOVED THERE IN 1990 TILL2003 . LOVED LIFE THERE AND ONLY THESE OLD TUNES WOULD YOU HEAR FROM MY YARD OR CAR!!!
Not from Jamaica, this was my introduction to Dancehalli in the late 80's....learned the dance "get flat". Loving this type of reggae and the dancehall of the mid 90's. Loved spending time in Brooklyn in the summer of 89 & 90....all you hear in the streets is Dancehall.
i am not jamaican but I grew up amongst all jamaicans in the 80s. These are the type of tunes that have made me a reggae fan for life. I wish dancehall would go back to being like this. I am not interested in hearing anything new. give me tiger cutty yelloman terror faboulous anyday.
do yourself a favor and get this album /cd Shelly thunders whole joint is dope and I mean every song!! this is when reggae was trully dope!! by the way get lady anne, sister nancy,superchick,princess goldie etc they were putting it down and repping for the ladies hard back in the day...That Kuff joint stayed on the air with JC Lodges Telephone Love... MASSIVE!!!
sean paul?? come now!. this shits a dance hall original. do ya research - look @ lt. stitche, admiral bailey, cutty rankin, yellow man if ya wan take it bak~
Jaicegirl, kuff is "cuff" (as in fisticuffs), fi is "for," mi is "me," gwan is "go on" or "going on," smady is "somebody," etc. The Jamaican dialect is plain English with shortcuts! As I tell my non-Jamaican friends, people can start to catch on to Jamaican conversation after four or five attempts...especially if we use our designed-for-tourists "Harry Belafonte" accents, lol! And Peeni Wally is "firefly." Yes, me a yardman meself!
We DO NOT speak pidgin English nor do we speak a dialect. We speak language made from various languages called Patois. The accent is dependent upon where certain groups reside. For example, persons from Accompong, St Elizabeth (note the Ghanaian-named area) sound differently than persons from Spanish Town, St Catherine
@jaicegirl Agree. I'm from St. Elizabeth and my accent is not found in other parts of Jamaica. My favorite accent in Jamaica are the people from St. Thomas parish they sound like their singing, it's beautiful to the ear..
The dialect of this song fascinates me. I've listened to it many many times to understand what she says. To me it's almost like a foreign language. I don't mean that in a disrespectful way. I've always been interested in linguistics. Can some one tell me if this dialect represents a certain region of the island, and does it have a name? Thanks.
It's called patois-broken english. Has a lot of African influence. Patois is the Jamaican dialect, but just with other dialects, how far it strays from the English language can vary depending on different factors..
I don't know about regions I know some Jamaican's accents are different depending..like any other dialect certain slang is used but can go out of style... But all West Indians speak Patois that's the name of the dialect.
Patois is not broken English. The English have forced that explanation on Jamaicans since they forced the rest of their culture on us during slavery. But anyways it is a Creole and a creole is a mix of two languages. Jamaican creole is the mix of West african Syntax and English.
Shelly doesn't sound like she was born in Jamaica, she's probably of Jamaican descent... but this is a big tune regardless.
@shamelse She does sound Jamaican , not Kingstonian. She was born Jamaica grew up in New York. I'm from St. Elizabeth and my accent is unique to that part of Jamaica. And people from St Thomas parish sing more in their patois.
Man this an ol' classic. For y'all that think Dancehall reggae start w/ Sean Paul, you need to get your history on... I was like 9-10 when this joint was pumping I'm 30 now... Real classic...
Real Ting...Dancehall is not what it use to be...Im in my 20's and dad use to keep a lot of dance and sound clash....dancehall reggae was the bomb back in the days...i loved my childhood days in JAMAICA...these are classics!! MEMBERRRR!!!
So right, I remember music like this with great fondness. I'm 31 so when this song came out I was probably running around outside playing hopscotch and stuckie. LOL.
kuff!
