Now that everybody wears Rastafarian-flavored red, green, and gold wristbands and the Signal De Plane and Pon De River dances have grown to macarena-like proportions, you have Sean Paul (and the guy who actually invented these dances, the "Energy God" Elephant Man) to thank. This re-release intended for international markets trims the fat from the original Dutty Rock by losing the filler skits, songs ("It's On"), and adding the previously unavailable "Baby Boy" single featuring Beyonce's seductive croons. This one's for fans who don't have Beyonce's Dangerously in Love album (the only other place to get this popular reggae-lite single) and those who want to renew their love affair with the Diwali riddim popularized on Paul's "Get Busy"--and subsequently re-sung on chart toppers by Lumidee ("Never Leave You (Uh Oooh, Uh Oooh)") and fellow dancehall vocalist Wayne Wonder ("No Letting Go"). --Dalton Higgins

Product Description

4.0 out of 5 stars An amazing album from the prince of Dance Hall! March 3, 2006

By Jenny J.J.I. VINE™ VOICE

Format:Audio CD

Sean Paul's "Dutty Rock" is one of the great dance hall albums that are out there. He continuously gave out hits throughout this whole album. Some of the end songs aren't as powerful as the songs at the beginning such as "Baby Boy", "Gimme The Light", "Get Busy", and "Concrete". His album is very good and definitely worth the cost. Sean Paul has outdone himself on his 2nd album which defiantly places him on the charts.

Sean Paul is Prince of the Dancehall because Beenie man has the "king" title already. This music originates from way back before rap/hip-hop even got started. Sean Paul had thrown some new flavor in there and makes a bangin' dance album. Some people don't like it because they can't understand him, but whose fault is that? People should realize that this music is rich in culture and if he sang it so that everyone could understand it he would be denying the heritage that made the music possible.

Probably this will help you out: almost every song on his album fades out with Sean still singing or the music still playing. I suggest looking up lyrics if you're really interested... or I wouldn't bother... Sean's voice is amazing and is fairly fun to listen to... most the music is upbeat... so if your looking for the sounds then this album is for you. Keep on bumpin' Sean Paul, and keep confusing the ignorant!

5.0 out of 5 stars AFTER A LONG WAIT DUTTY ROCK IS HERE November 15, 2002

By Jason N Walker

Format:Audio CD

After the very successful debut album Stage One, Sean Paul has come out with a sophmore album. The album has already had huge attention do the hype that has been given to the song "Gimme The Light.

The album which was orignally supposed to be released in May is filled with hits. "Gimme the Light" is one of the most played and requested songs throughout the United States. Although it came out early 2001 and was on a riddiim that got strong play in the Dancehall, it has found a new market a market that mostly does not even know much about Dancehall.

Gimme the light is one of the best examples why this artist does well. His ability to sit on a riddim is equalled by very few (superstars like Super Cat and Buju Banton come to mind) and the flow of his voice is just magic. Of course the video with actual Jamaican dancers doing Jamaican dances directed by Little X was a huge help also.

This is the first dancehall song that has not been remixed or taken from it's original format and found such success in the United States, making it historic.

Another big hit on the album is Like Glue which was a huge hit in the Dancehall in 2001. The riddim caller the Buy Out was done by one of the best producers in Jamaiacan history, Tony Kelly.

Can You Do The Work (featuring Ce'Cile) was the song that Sean did on the big riddim for 2001, the Liquid, which was built by his manager Jeremy Harding. The song is a classic, Cecile and Sean Paul go back and forth having the classic boy meets girl argument. The steamy and creative lyrics these young stars come up with are amazing.

Punkie is a huge hit that Sean did for Richie "D" Martin on the Grooving riddim, a riddim which in itself is classic. He does a spanish version of the song at the end of the CD and he surprised me with his mastering of the spanich tongue.

I'm Still In Love With You (featuring Sasha, this is a remake of huge hit that was done by (Reggae Legend) Alton Ellis in the 60's and redone by the Marcia Aitkens who took it to number one on the British Charts. The remastering done by producers Steely & Clevie brings a fresheness to the old Classic, yet it does not stray from the richness of the original song. Sasha and Sean Paul ride the tune like masters.

Gimme The Light Remix (featuring Busta Rhymes) done by Sean's brother Jason "Jigzagula" Henriques also brings a new angle to the song. Busta with his Jamaican ancestry rides the riddim well (thank God they did not put hip hop beats in there) and then Sean makes up new lyrics just for the remix, Wicked!!

There are also some new songs on their such as "Get Busy" which is done on the most popular riddim in Dancehall right now The Dwali. He also sings the song "Bubbles" with one of Jamaica's most creative artists Farenheit. Also listen for Shout!!

the CD is definitely worth having Memba me told you. It is a collector's item already for it's historic feat of breaking through that hard wall set up for non american music to be kept out of the Main Stream. My Only problem with this CD is that unlike the first one it is not enhanced.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dutty Rockin' Mon! September 15, 2003

By A Customer

Format:Audio CD

I'm a big fan of Sean Paul's "Dutty Rock". Sean Paul puts together some surprisingly slick ryhmes to his Dance Hall beats. As far as I can see, this album has two downsides. One is his accent-- it makes him hard to understand. Second, most of the songs repeat themselves again. But if you have no problem with that, then buy this cd! My favorite tracks include:

Like Glue: Nice beat, nice lyrics. All around good song, I could listen to it over and over.

Top of the Game: I LOVE this track! I'm such a huge fan of Rahzel, and he brightens this track up so much! I often find it stuck in my head, which isnt a bad thing.

I'm Still in Love with You: This is a GREAT Jamaican love balad! At first I thought it was tacky and annoying, and then realized it was unique and awesome...but "That's a dutty dutty love..."

International Affair: This is my favorite track on the cd. Great party song, with a nice dance beat. I could listen to this song ALL day, and still be "Dutty rockin' it from Kingston, JA"

Can You Do the Work: This is a very popular reggae beat.(also the beat to "give it to her hard" by tanto metro and devonte)
Not the most appropriate song for everyone to hear, but very, very slick.

My Name: This song has some of my favorite lyrics on the whole cd. must hear, must listen, must LOVE.

Other songs worth listening to are "Punkie", "Shake that Thing", "Gimme the Light Remix", and "It's On"

If I havent stressed this enough, THIS IS A GREAT CD!
