  • "I remember the first time I saw a dread, and the dread come through the block like he walking through the middle of the block, rudeboy... who does he think he is, and he look at us and sucked his teeth..."

    Classic shit LOL, Jamaican no doubt.

  • Please post more and/or the entire discussion. So riveting and long overdue, the caribbean influence on the MCing element of hip hop, not just Jamaicans, but also Puerto Ricans, etc. For those who study early NY hip hop, the signatures of Jamaican dancehall stylings are so all over hip hop. We are the same people in almost every way, so it's not an us vs. them affair, but rather an expose of the fusing of Jamaican rebelliousness, via music with other brothers and sisters abroad.

  • more please!
