Beenie Man "Kingston to King of the Dancehall" Album Review

BIG Package!!! Well done!!
Firstly, Beenie has been recording since 9 years of age. Its now 20 years of music. He was crowned DJ of the year in Jamaica numerous times including a five-year streak in the 1990s. He has won nearly every major award in reggae or Caribbean music, from MOBO to Tamika, to Grammy. Its impossible to capture such a reign on ONE CD. So I must give them credit for undertaking such a difficult task. This is an excellent package filled with hardcore hits and good video footage.
The CD places the chosen hits in chronological order, which is useful for charting the success of Jamaica`s most seasoned danchall ambassador. "Who Am I", featured first, was his international breakthrough, earning him reviews in Newsweek magazine--a first at that time for a danchall entertainer. The Punaany ridim is featured here in 2 variations in Romie and Girls Dem Sugar which put Beenie firmly in the international limelight. Those singles galvanised his urban popularity in the mid to late 90s, being featured in a variety of remix styles. "Slam" introduced a different meaning to an old word and now in dancehall circles the word has only one mischeivous meaning. Other favorites here include " Row Like A Boat" which signalled Beenies return to local chart topping after international and crossover success on Art and Life. This DJ is known for his versatility on stage and in the studio and "Nuff Gal" proves why. "King of the Dancehall" a more recent hit, displays Beenies talent for sexually outrageous lines. Dave Kelly, the ace dancehall producer, teamed up with Beenie in 2004 to produce the massive hit "Dude" also featured here. After a lukewarm start to the millenium, this hit put Beenie back at the top of his game.
This CD reverberates with energy and attitude, and is a good tribute to a veteran artiste who after 2 decades is still thrilling audiences worldwide. Seen strictly from an artistic or entertainment viewpoint, this CD will certainly not disappoint.

Disclaimer:
Dancehall is not for everyone. Dancehall fans know that if you listen for a while you will hear calls to burn the Vatican, assassinate world leaders and shoot those who cooperate with the police. Sounds a lot like its cousin rap music, doesn`t it? So homosexuals should not feel they are getting any special hate. And neither Beenie, NOR DANCEHALL, is singularly guilty of these now so-called lyrical crimes.

By the way, moderators, isn`t it a contravention of the rules here that certain reviews do not even address the content of the CD they are supposed to be reviewing?
