Jennifer Lopez Does Dancehall [video]

Yes, you read correctly. Jennifer Lopez featuring Lil Wayne is straight reggae/dancehall. I wanna see some dancehall moves to this when JLo performs this.



I don't even care, I'm feeling this song. Produced by professional dancehall rippers Stargate. I don't even mind them biting because to be fair they do it well. If they start hooking up features with our artists we'll be even - can't keep taking from the earth and not replacing. Written by UK's very own Taio Cruz (genuine surprise). Listen to his demo below



Seems to me as if reggae is fully back in the minds of the suits in the top of the music industry building similarly to '03-'04. Well, they were biting from before that but they finally accepted our dancehall music to the public's ears in full vibe at them years. I like this movement. I tweeted about this happening last year

On a similar note, this song "Hypnotico" by JLo



Was originally Tami Chynn's



Reminded me of this

Jennifer Lopez "If You Had My Love"



The concept of reggae where it's predominantly drum and bass with minimal strings. R&B wasn't like that traditionally. It sound madder when they re-licked it in dancehall



Speaking of demo's and reggae rips by Stargate, DJ B alerted me of this. Hit songwriter Ester Dean's demo of "Rude Boy" - one of the smashes she has written for Rihanna. Loads of people in the comments saying she sounds like Justin Beiber. What you think?



Rihanna's sounds better, still.

Here's her demo of Rihanna's "What's My Name". This sounds better.



And on that note, I'm out

EDIT

Bonus:

Nicole Scherzinger feat. 50 Cent "Right Here"



If this was Rihanna, we'd say she's chatting with a Jamaican twang
