The very act of throwing Dancehall 101, Vol. 1 into the stereo is enough to make you want to run into the rec room, plug in a red light bulb, and invite your friends over for an all-night session. The 17-track double-CD collection (disc 2 is an Adonai Soundsystem party mix) contains some of the biggest dancehall hits of the '80s and '90s.
Setting things off is Red Dragon's sexy (and sexist) "Good Hole College." Shabba's son, Risto Benji, gets nasty with "Passport Buddy," and Cutty Ranks flips gunman lyrics on both "Limb by Limb" and "Who Say Me Dun." Buju Banton's "Batty Rider," Red Fox & Screechy Dan's "Pose Off," and Simpleton's "Coca Cola Shape" each celebrate good-body gals while Tiger, presaging Black Rob's similar "Whoa" by a decade, provides comic relief with "When." All this classic material will inspire both novices and fanatics alike to brush up on their windin' skills. --Rebecca Levine

Customer Reviews:
A must have for Best of 80's Dancehall.......2002-12-03
The first reviewer history of dancehall is not vast and is incorrect in stating that this is recent dancehall. The most recent song here is Beenie Man - Who am I, which is no less than 7 years old.
This series is a must have as a collector item. Finally VP has come up with a CD to give Greensleeves out of London a run for the customer money.
pretty good.......2000-09-21
Today's dancehall is much more raw, cutting edge material that is very akin to hip hop, so fans of rap may likely get into these grooves. I find some of these tracks to be too predicatable and bland, but still, these artists are the pulse of today's reggae and therefore should be listened to.
