Jamaicans!
 

can someone clue me in on some good Jamaican rappers?

I know the obvious ones.. hahaha I was watching belly when I decided to ask this :P

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL. when I was a teen i used to watch belly everyday for a month straight.

louie rankin KILLED that movie. you should check out the flick Shottas if you're looking for a similar sort of movie.

do you mean rappers OUT of jamaica or jamaican by heritage

haha either. i'm pretty much lookin for some rap with a Jamaican accent thats still flow as ****.

Most of what you're going to find will be very dancehall oriented. I don't know if you're talking about ragamuffin style, dancehall, or just straight hip-hop w/ a jamaican accent, but try Shinehead (old school), Young Black Teenagers, Sizzla, Bounty Killer, and Buju Banton

There's Major Lazer or whatever. I didn't really like it too much, and it's really dancehall sounding sometimes, but it was recorded in Jamaica. It's two people from M.I.A., Diplo and Switch, English guys that travelled to Jamaica to make a concept album about a Jamaican Army commando with one arm. Seems like it would be an interesting idea, but the music didn't do it for me. Check it out though, it might be what you're looking for.



Honestly I didn't want to listen to it, so I just picked the first youtube video I found. There might be better songs than this one. There's a lot of other guest musicians too.

I actually love that album, but I can see why some wouldn't. It has to be taken lightly.

I'm lookin for some Frisco Kid esque stuff..

So you're looking for dancehall. Check out Buju banton, barrington Levy, sizzla, and Bounty Killer for starters.

ah then yes, if thats what it's called :P thanks i'll check them out

I don't think Jamaica has rappers bro, besides if they did they speak in rasta giberish and it makes no sense.

lol @ gibberish

it is not

I sure as hell can't understand it, they have a name for it too but I can't remember. Its almost another language

It's called Patois.

you welcome sucka.

hahahah thats the best man. My names Dillon. and all my friends always say that **** to me hahaha

"Your to close man your to close!"

Check out Salaam Remy. He's not a rapper, he's a producer but he did a lot Hiphop/Reggae joints. Born Jamaicans, ms dynamite, mega banton, he actually made reggae/hiphop popular in NY.

It seems like all the dancehall I like is hard to find.. Like is there a Frisco Kid album??? I can only find comps.. He has some cd under another name..

He also goes by Ancient Monarchy

yeah thats what it is!

agreed. besides, I don'e like J.

OK he's not a rapper but then that wasn't the point. Linton Kwesi Johnson is the shit:

If you could stop w/ the caps lock that would be super amazing.
