papichulo by papichulo · Mar 19, 2004 · 120 views · · · Journal

yo has anyone here noticed that lately theres been a MILLION new raggae songs comin out? i mean back in the day it was UB-40..then Mr Vegas. And then there was like 5 years with just about nothin. Then Sean Paul came out with Deport Dem and a few other songs but other then them, that was it. Then he came out with Get Busy and then soooooo many songs popped oughta no where. elephant man has a million songs out and his whole clique. wayne wonder too. yo raggae is now crossed over into mainstream hip hop...i mean once Lil Jon does a song w. ya then u kno sumthins up. I dont really care though since i like raggae..even though i can barely understand half the words...but anyone else noticin this?

reggae/dancehall has always been around-just not as mainstream as it is lately. it's pretty funny that most americans have no clue what is being said in the songs. it is sometimes pretty raunchy.

frankie, stop listening to z100. you get a perfectly respectable station named 89.5 where you are.

OK LEMME CLEAR IT UP FOR YOU PEOPLE. I should have mentioned...i listen to 2 stations ONLY. Not Z100 Dean..haha Power105.1 and Hot97. Ok thats only r&b\hip hop. Im talking about those stations. Raggaeton has always been around, i kno this. and every sunday night they have had a reggae mix since way back. im talking bout that fact that the raggae scene is takin over the hip hop world all of a sudden. Now its hittin the mainstream. Thats what i meant. Bob marley doesnt count.lol but hes hot

uh yeah it's what's called a cycle. Cuz as a few of you may remember, Murder she wrote and oh carolina sparked a reggae craze a few years ago. After a couple months bad reggae will come out and it will all die down again...
