Comment:
One way or another, dancehall reaches into almost every era of reggae history. The first artists to point in a dancehall direction were still cutting their tracks with roots ruler Coxsone Dodd at his legendary Studio One, like Michigan & Smiley, whose “Nice Up the Dance” was sprinkled with rub-a-dub style and a sample from Dodd’s classic ’60s production “Real Rock.” Likewise with the Lone Ranger, whose hit “The Answer” revolves around a riff from rocksteady star Slim Smith’s 1967 single “Never Let Go.” And on the more modern side of things, Elephant Man showed how much hip-hop and dancehall have in common, through his summit meeting with Atlanta crunk kings Lil’ Jon and Bone Crusher on “Jook Gal.”
