Dancehall music, also called ragga or dub, style of Jamaican popular music that had its genesis in the political turbulence of the late 1970s and became Jamaica’s dominant music in the 1980s and ’90s. Central to dancehall is the deejay, who raps, or “toasts,” over a prerecorded rhythm track (bass guitar and drums), or “dub.”
The rise of deejay Yellowman in the early 1980s marked the transition from mainstream reggae to dancehall music that took place in Jamaican nightclubs. In addition to the explicitly http://promodj.com/music- lyrics political lyrics of songs of the early 1980s such as “Operation Eradication” and “Soldier Take Over,” Yellowman incorporated into his repertoire salacious lyrics that became widely known as “slackness,” a Jamaicanism for licentiousness. Drawing on the raunchy tradition of mento, an earlier form of Jamaican dance music that barely disguised sexual discourse in metaphor, and on the spirit of the Caribbean calypso folk song, to which mento is kin, Yellowman teasingly addressed both sex and politics in his radical critique of society in the wake of the failure of Jamaica’s experiment with socialism under Prime Minister Michael Manley. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1690085 Title: Ryzen 1800X freeze - rcu_sched detected stalls on CPUs/tasks To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/1690085/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
