Customer Reviews
Straight up hardness
This series never disappoints; the 2006 edition as usual features very hard and innovative Hip Hop Reggae tracks.
Not Bad For This Series. . .
I had more or less given up on the Ragga Ragga Ragga series from Greensleeves. Over the last few years its been little more than a showcase for GS' various signed artists (particularly Vybz Kartel), and it drifted and became a crazy thing for the dance songs which mostly lose their potency when you don't know exactly how to do the particlar dance.
2006's edition changes a little bit as it becomes a showcase for the unknown and upcoming artists, the King himself, as well as one of the most dominant riddims the dance has ever seen.
The first thing worth noting here is that GS' artists Vybz Kartel and Macka Diamond only comprise 2 of the 18 here. Kartel's track arguably being the single worst one altogether, an unfortunate combination with Shabba Ranking on a remake of Shabba's Love Punanny Bad. Macka's effort may be the only tune that I have actually liked from her, the ultra clever Ugly Man, reminiscent of Ce'cile's 2000 hit Changez.
Of course Greensleeves dips into the dance tracks twice with soundman 'Mentally Ill' Matterhorn on Dutty Wine and the increasingly and unfortunately popular Soltex 3000. Matterhorn needs to stay in the booth, and Soltex needs to stay off of albums that I'm considering purchasing, he is AWFUL on his Killa Walk, Prezzi Bounce, but its not his fault, this music belongs ONLY in the dancehall, not on a record of any kind.
The good here? Besides Diamond's nearly stellar effort the real story is GS once again tapping Beenie Man for this album. Beenie works 3 tunes here, Heart Attack, Wi Set di Trend and Stamina, with the awesome Stamina being the definite best and perhaps the album's finest. Besides Beenie is the presence of the emerging talent in JA, particularly the ultra-talented Busy Signal. Busy also taps in on 3 tracks, with the first, Too Much Gun being the best, but Lu Lu Lu is clever and very good as well. Busy Signal is making big waves in the dance as well as Idonia who is also here with his funny and witty Chicken Head (Donia sounds a lot like Kartel, but I'd advise him to stay away (as well as Busy Signal) from that Greensleeves contract offer, see Predator and Kid Kurrupt as examples).
Also good here is Buju in one of the best tunes that I've heard from the artist in a while Beauty Queen, with the old school sounding vibe on it very impressive. Speaking of old school: You HAVE to check Spice's ultra slack Grab Ya Hood. If for nothing else but for the fact that it is on the '85 riddim from Dave Kelly, easily one of the biggest riddims to EVER emerge from JA. And check Voicemail's Get Crazy, not bad either.
All that being said, my favorite tune here is easily More Punani from Dr. Evil, alter ego of Lefside & Esco. The song is HILARIOUS!
Overall, I'd definitely reccommend this one more than many of the previous installations in this series. As always its more reccommended for the more fair-weather dancehall fan, but it has enough vibes to keep even the hardest of dancehall heads entertained throughout.
