Reggae

Reggae is a music genre first developed in Jamaica in the late 1960s. While sometimes used in a broader sense to refer to most types of Jamaican music, the term reggae more properly denotes a particular music style that originated following on the development of ska and rocksteady. Reggae is based on a rhythm style characterized by regular chops on the off-beat, known as the skank. The tempo is generally slower than that found in ska.

Only two of the artists in the top 8 are Reggae artists. My advice is stop smoking Weed and search out some real Jamaican music.... alternatively come find Bigmikeydread Reggae Radio and I'll play you some... uh it's at podomatic ... not here... I mean Reggae here is this little sad affair and Bob Marley appreciation society!

Is it true that one needs to develop special love for black cocks in order to like reggae music?

Hey! I am a huge fan of Sean Paul (I was a fan even back in the day with Gimme the Light and Get Busy) and I always go to your site for news and info. Anyway I just thought you might find this interesting…..I just found this amazing contest to enter. I thought other fans might want to know about it….The contest is for a pair of tickets to see Sean Paul live in concert on September 8th in NYC! The concert is being sponsored by iHeartRadio so all you have to do is go to their Facebook account (http://www.facebook.com/iheartradio) to find the “secret word” and then go here (http://tinyurl.com/seanpaultickets) to enter to win. --Dan
