You can't escape the Dancehall roots

Another banger for you, this one will keep you going in da club, this is da jam. Another One from the Terror Squad with a more than liberal sprinkling of  maaad Jamaican influences in this song

 See if you can hear  it...that horn loop is maaad catchy too..............



Pree Fat Joe's verse top shotta... I keep a few tings, Champion sound I got a few rings.... Joe been hanging with those NY Jamaicans....we see you.... go easy

Then the whole concept of the song all the way up seems very familiar to Waaaaay Up the current slang and dance made popular by Chi Ching Ching

The whole song is not surprising remember a few years back there was another Terror squad collabo which more than liberally borrowed "the "Rockaway" dance move and renamed it the now popular crossed over dance called "the Lean Back"

Imitation is the highest form of flattery......maaaaaaad


We nah fight the the ting but maaaad respect Joe we see uh a do you thing you song going ALL THE WAAAY UP!!!!!!!

Volkswagen drafts Jamaica to make SuperBowl HIT

Yes Ladies and Gentlemen, Jamaica the Super Bowl is still a week away but the marketing gurus are searching for the next Big thing to make an impact on sports loving and car driving consumers and it looks like that they found the answer in Jamaica.


The Jamaican accent easily determined as one of the most recognizable and hardest to duplicate accents in the world seems to have captured Volkswagen the renown German car manufacturer's attention and they have wisely deemed Jamaica and its accent to be the epitome of cool, laid back and fun as evidenced in their 60 second Super bowl commercial , let the maaaaad laughs begin:

This commercial is bound to make an impact come Superbowl Sunday and afterwards. Although to some the idea of white person talking Jamaican is novel, its not as unusual as you think for us Jamaicans, there are many white Jamaicans who speak "Jamaican"or "patois". But I suppose if your from Minnesota it does raise the eyebrow a bit. Here is a viral video showing that its not that uncommon, I am willing to bet this may have been the inspiration for the Volkswagen commercial.

If  you  want to see CNN's take on the whole ad and how it would inspire them to make a trip to Jamaica ( wink wink, Jamaica Tourist Board ) check out this clip:
