I couple years ago I got the YYY's Show Your Bones album along with a Ghostface CD which I don't remember. I rarely mix rap and rock but I put them both on my ipod and it grew on . Although I don't understand any of the YYY songs, what they mean or can make any sense of it - I find the dynamism of it irresistible. The video doesn't make any sense either.

In 1960, Joseph Kittinger took a balloon up to 102,800 feet and jumped out.

For the next couple weeks I'm to go to the edge of music videos. Some will be my personal favourites, others will just be good songs with videos attached. Either way enjoy.
hmmm

People often ask what is going on in dancehall; whats up with the "hump dance"?; who comes up with these things? Its a lot less organic than you think, it more like back in the 80's Micheal Jaskson "Bad". When guys would pill out knives, form a circle and try to dance each other to death. Each trying to "out-do" the other. It kinda like that but less sexually prejudice. The humpdance brings women into the picture. There is alot of substance to it and it changes quickly and slowly at the same time without reason.
The randomness of it can be a little jaring to foreigners (and normal jamaicans) but the creativity of the Jamaican people is endless even when not under the influence of controlled substance. It could all stop next year and we could bring back the "cent-5cent-10cent-dalla" dance. But in dancehall culture nothing "makes a comeback", nowadays everything must have a new riddim, dance, slang and handshake. Its a fact of life; some people dance, some stand on the sidelines and others wait until the PG version gets released to the public. It may not catch on in the USA but who cares the chinese dig it.

Tami commented: Sometimes i wonder if these women are double jointed or something. As the humping and jooking seems so hard between the legs. How do they walk afterwards? Anyways after my degree i'm gonna become a dancehall queen. watch it! ... read 6 more
