Ranking Toyan - Ghetto Man Skank

[c0d24live23]

Nuff memories lissnin to the Toyan while smokin a spliff.

[SuperCoxsone]

Intro is same as Wailing Souls tings an times

[c0d24live23]

@SuperCoxsone I think it's the same riddim as things and times, only a slighty different one because you hear the bells all the time in things and times and on this song you hear it every 3 seconds after the guitar and drum.

[moomjooendi2007]

R.I.P TOyan!!

[Aatifah]

0:50 "becah mi live inna di ghetto me sey as a sufferah, mi live inna di ghetto me sey as a sufferah, me smoke ganja me drink jelly watah, me smoke ganja me drink jelly watah"

[leeperryismerry]

[leeperryismerry]

why is Dancehall so crap nowadays?

Back in the day it was brilliant

Yellowman, Eek A Mouse, Cutty Ranks, Buju Banton

not a fan of this Elephant Man & Sizzla stuff

[IdjatDoDat]

becuase nowadayz ... there is AUTOTUNE (mi maself i hate it)

and to many kids with illegal downloaded software to mek those shitty riddims

IMHO

[rigogurt]

@leeperryismerry yea this new dancehall is unbearable really

[hansflakes]

@rigogurt idk its not unbearable its pretty dope it just seems idk its dope man

[buckbumble]

@leeperryismerry sizzla has done some decent tunes, you just have to wade through alot of rubbish first.

elephant man...meh, not so keen. But god almighty, did you hear Lee Perry's 'Pum Pum', THAT was just shameful!

Coconut water straight from the coconut is soooo good. Then you can make a "spoon" from the outer shell and eat the jelly or meat from the inside. Ah the good old days. Lol.
