I think it's true that one of the things we value in dancehall is, to put it crudely, it's 'purity'.
The incentive structure is local not the global-universal pop marketplace. The same would go for jungle, or grime or pretty much any other kind of music that dissensus likes.

You have artists that make music for the communities they are a part of. Some of those then go on to become Dizzies or Sean Pauls or what have you. And maybe that's good for them on an individual level. But the music changes and loses most of its idiosyncrasies. It gets levelled out. We've discussed all this together many times I think.
this is 100% true and i like Sean Paul. more global black pop than Jamaican pop.

It's not as straightforward as that because the early records are just him vocallling the popular riddims of the day. He came up through the dancehall scene and was on VP catering to the local market before he was on Atlantic. But I've already spent half the day arguing About Sean Paul, it's not like he's my dad or something. I'm not honour bound to defend him

Good thread this. Intence is definitely my favourite atm just for these three alone.
That last one kind of cut from the same cloth as Dope, the original subject of this thread.
