Customer Reviews

One of the great dancehall artists

I would actually venture to say that Beenie Man is the best Jamaican dancehall artist. The beats and melodies on this CD are infectious, I absolutely can not get some of these lyrics out of my head. There are only 3 songs on this whole CD that I skip over which is why I gave it a 4 instead of 5. Yes, there are homophobic lyrics which don't reflect my personal views on homosexuality. However, to all those people giving this CD one star because of a line or 2 in a couple of songs, what gives you the right to tell someone what they can write about and say? If you don't like it: DON'T LISTEN. Don't act like you're out to save the world from free expression.

The definitive dancehall lesson

The Best of Beenie Man collects the anthems that made him known as King of the Dancehall starting from his most prolific era the 1990s. Truly a lesson in the fundamentals of dancehall reggae

If only there were more than 5 stars available...

Wow, what can I say about the marvelous Beenie Man that hasn't been said before? This man brings thinking music to a whole nother level. Unlike garbage bands such as Tool and Radiohead who spit drivel while pretending they are intelligent, Beenie Man has an actual brain the size of a planet. His views are simply breathtaking, and as for the music oh god don't get me started. Who needs a solo when you got the Been fever??? I have read in another review that a man dropped out of school to pursue beenie man the rest of his life while listening nonstop to this titan of dancehall. Let me tell you something my friend, I'll be right there with you.

THE TRUTH IS OUT

A work of art!

Beenie man is truly the king of the danchall. I would recommend this album to any and everyone!

The most homophobic artist alive

People seem to look past Beenie Man's extremely homophobic lyrics. In the song "Damn", Beenie Man states "Well I'm think of a new Jamaica, me come to executve all of the gays". How can he get away with saying something like this. Eminem got so much attention for his homophobic lyrics on his sophomore album, but at least his lyrics weren't as serious and homocidal as this. Eminem just made jokes. Eminem kind of got the reputation of saying crazy things. Threatening to murder his wife, talking about raping his mother, people learned that Eminem was known for saying outrageous things that obviously shouldn't be taken seriously. Eminem is like a comedian, Beenie Man is not. Plus, who did we see perform with Elton John??? Who gave Elton John a big a** hug after their performance??? Beenie Mans seems much more convincing when his homophobic and homo-homicidal lyrics are heard. Beenie Man has recorded numerous songs about his homophobic views, which are much more offensive than anything Eminem has ever said. Another song that supports this, is Beenie Man's "Bad Man, Chi Chi Man", which suggests that you should be proud if you are hederosexual ("If you nun chi chi man wave your right hand and [NO!], if you nun lesbian, wave your right hand and [NO!]"). The following lyric, is percieved to me as him stating that a gay man is actually worse than a murderer, and murderers go to jail and become gay men ("Some boy will go a jail fi murda tun badman chi chi man"). The word "tun", if precieved differently, can give an entire new meaning. Does he mean "ton" or "turn". If he means "ton", he could saying that a man should have the right to kill a "ton" of people who happen to be gay, and not go to jail. In of the verses he gives in the homosexual sterotypes (And yuh seh chi chi man have one special code / Now we see yuh inna video and a naked man pose / Yuh all a gi him money fi tek off him clothes). What the hell is this all about? All gay men aren't porno stars and strippers, what the hell. Out of all the gay people I know, I don't know ANY that are strippers or porno stars. All of these lyrics are much more offensive then Eminem jokingly saying "I was only checking the mail...get it..checking the male". Beenie Man is obviously a closed-minded homophobe, just like our president. I suggest to anyone who is NOT homophobic, AVOID Beenie Man's music. I still can't figure out how he was able to collaborate with Janet Jackson, whom has completely opposite views, as you can here in here song "Free Xone" in which she supports gay people and encourages people to be who they are and not follow any rules, as well as encouraging people to be excepting and open-minded of others. Janet must have been anaware of Beenie Man's homophobic, closed-minded, and intolerant views when she collaborated with him, on the song "Feel It Boy". Beenie Man has also collabrated with people like Wyclef Jean, Lil' Kim, Mya, Jon B., and others. All who I'm pretty sure aren't homophobic, but have no proof, I just hope that they aren't, and don't get the vibe that are. Yeah, so Lil' Kim says "faggot" and stuff, but she doesn't hate gay people. I read an article about how the gay community is so found of Lil' Kim, and she was interviewed about and didn't seem to have any type of problem with gay people. I know for a fact that neither Jon B. or Mya is homophobic. But anyway, that's kind of irrelevant, I just find it interesting that he's collaborated with all these people, when he's saying this crazy things that none of these artists agree with. AVOID BEENIE MAN!!!
