| | Dancehall Music |
 | | Dancehall music is the dominant music played on some of the radio stations geared towards the younger generation in Jamaica, and recently several TV stations have been established and dedicated toward documenting the happenings in the Dancehall music industry. | | | Dancehall can be seen as a rough, immensely catchy ‘street’ style of reggae - mostly geared toward the younger generations but is widely listened to by people of all ages. | | | Reggae music, and by extension dancehall, was birthed and bred from the suffering and insubordination of ghetto peoples’ spirit. |

| | Reggae Dancehall Music - Classics |
| | Dancehall music is present day Jamaican Reggae, which voices the current population's concerns, conflicts, fantasies, and frustrations. | | | However, dancehall was no longer just a place where dances where held, but it became the new form of reggae music—deejay music. | | | The new music that was being played became known as “Dancehall” and the name has stuck ever since. |

| | The debut full-length release from the Queen of Conscious Dancehall. | | | We sat on the sidelines and watched as others put out music which was full of misogynist lyrics and which did nothing to address the more spiritual side of life. | | | And as the music became more synthesized and lost the "live" drum and bass sound, a minimalist, stripped-down version of reggae became the riddim over which most DJs and singers would add their voice. |

| | Arts Unlimited Arts features Dancehall queen |
| | She already has a raft of popular Jamaican singles and genre-crossing collaborations with British breakbeat producers Shy FX and Stanton Warriors to her credit, but it is her debut album of "gal-power" anthems, Bad Gyal, that is most likely to push her on to the international stage. | | | Rhythmically inventive and catchy, it shot across dancehall's macho braggadocio, light-heartedly lampooning the music's biggest male names with unflattering speculation on their bedroom performance. | | | Thanks to the likes of Sean Paul and Wayne Wonder, dancehall has become the pop world's latest success story. |

| | VP Records has produced and released 2 dancehall albums dedicated strictly to the Sleng Teng riddim: Sleng Teng Extravaganza and the Sleng Teng Resurrection. | | | There’s no doubt that one of the biggest dancehall riddims of the 1980’s was the Ganjaman’s anthem, the“Sleng Teng” riddim, made popular by Wayne Smith’s “Under Mi Sleng Teng” in 1985. | | | Sleng Teng was a riddim that most top artists voiced on, whether in the studio or in the dancehall back then. |

| | The dancehall anthem "Under Mi Sleng Teng" is acknowledged as the first reggae record to have succeeded without a bassline. | | | Dancehall reggae established itself through characters like Yellowman and General Echo and a penchant for slackness (as bawdy lyricswere known). | | | This deejay-led, largely computerised, upstart music seemed to epitomise the 1980s with dub poet Mutabaruka maintaining, "if 1970s reggae was red, greed and gold, then in the next decade it was gold chains". |

| | The sound also has plans to ensure that Coppershot becomes a household name that will be on the tongues of every Dancehall lover across the globe and synonymous with the culture of Dancehall music. | | | In addition, the sound prefers not to go off the vibe of the individual selectors, but to play songs that the crowd wants to hear while incorporating popular deejays, as well as upcoming artistes. | | | This is evident from the Hip-Hop/Dancehall remixes built by the sound. |

| | Dancehall music developed in the '80s as "ragamuffin," a hybrid style featuring a DJ or "sing-jay" half-singing, half-rapping with often bawdy ("slack") themes. | | | The musical structure is rooted in reggae though the rhythms, played by drum machines, are considerably faster. | | | Major dancehall figures include Dillinger, Clint Eastwood, I-Roy, Eek-A-Mouse, Sugar Minott, Niney the Observer, Yellowman, Shabba Ranks, Buju Banton, Beenie Man, Bounty Killer, Ninjaman, Macka B, Capleton, Sizzla, Cutty Ranks, Supercat, Shinehead, Mad Cobra, Shaggy, Anthony B, Everton Blender, Cocoa Tea, and Maxi Priest. |

| | The Xterminator imprint was already famed for its superb rhythm tracks and a growing catalogue of dancehall and cultural anthems by the likes of Cocoa Tea, Tony Rebel and Capleton, even before Luciano joined their fold. | | | More importantly he'd also met Xterminator producer Phillip "Fatis" Burrell, who encouraged him to write original material and then released the two singles that were to establish Luciano's early standing as a singer of depth and meaning, namely "Chant Out" and the now classic "Poor And Simple". | | | With musicians such as Sly & Robbie, Dean Fraser, The Firehouse Crew and Third World guitarist Cat Coore to draw upon, Fatis had creaed a sound capable of taking reggae music forwards, even whilst remaining true to time honoured values of the past. |

| | Herc was one of the most popular DJs in early 70s New York, playing at neighborhood parties (block parties), and he quickly switched from using reggae records to funk, rock and disco, since the New York audience did not particularly like reggae. | | | In Jamaica, dub music has diversified into genres like ragga and dancehall. | | | In 1967, Jamaican immigrants such as DJ Kool Herc brought dub to New York City, where it evolved into hip hop. |

| | ONE OF THE more striking ways in which deejaying and singing differ is that deejays are simply not expected to do over another deejay's song. | | | Live Jamaican Radio, Listen to Power 106 FM 24x7 with Dear Pastor Mon. | | | It may stem from the stigma about 'pirates' who steal other's lyrics; it may be that the rhythms have changed so much over time that updating a dancehall tune would not make any sense. |
