Anyone into it here?

I could care less for most Dancehall the past 2-3 years, most riddims are wack - it's more quantity over quality tunes, it sucks. Mavado is killin it though.

Can never go wrong with conscious tunes though...

Don't care much for Dancehall, but on the reggae side I dig Bob Marley and UB40

For true reggae heads, how the hell do yall keep it with new riddims that come out?

90's reggae was the shit... riddims like bookshelf and up close were classic. Though as of recent ppl give reggae alot of flack there has been some dope riddims that have come out in recent years. Some i could think of off the top are probobly

Red Wine
Gangsta Beat
Baltimore
Final Warning
Heart Strings
Final Warning

And who here fucks wit lovers rock? Beres Hammond and Freddie McGregor

Not really a Reggae head, but I didn't wanna make a Bob Marley thread, so I decided to post some videos in here.

I come from a Jamaican background, so I grew up on this music kind of. I don't listen to it on a regular basis, and can only really stand listening to it at parties.
