I, growing up in Kingston, born 1980, so therefore my coming of age music was that 1991-94 stuff, and then I'm a fast paced dancehall man from then... found it difficult trying to explain to my roomate the news. Now he is a proper musichead, also yardie, and listen to TONS of the oldest of shit. So I'm trying to explain to him the impact these guys had. Failing miserably, I even pointed out the james bond theme remix they did. Yea, he was not impressed. Basically I was like "you like King Jammy? You like this whole riddim building vs playing live music which started to happen when we were kids? Then you like S&C!". Nary an eyebrow was raised; he had no clue who I was talking about, and my babbling wasn't helping. For me, I heard about them alot growin up (arif cooper is ma cousin, leftside & the harrisinghs are high school friends), and their influence, and "meeting the boss dem", etc. But now, I shall copy and paste that simple sentence you wrote. To me, so poignant, and so straightforward. I don't know any jamaican who like reggae or dancehall and dont have a place in dem heart for punany riddim, and mud up. So what I spent 10 mins on the other night, you solved with one sentence, that I completely overlooked cuz its so engrained it didn't even occur to me. bless firstly, I properly chuckled, an outburst even, when you surmised the writing behind movado’s less-creepy-than-normal tune. hilarity.
