5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Reggae Dancehall Album This Year, February 22, 2003

This review is from: Ghetto Dictionary: Mystery (Audio CD)

I'm a Jamaican and a fan of dancehall reggae and in my opinion, the best reggae dancehall artistes that put out albums this year were Bounty Killer, Beenie Man, Sean Paul and Capleton. Beenie is a great artiste but his album Tropial Storm was'nt really dancehall...it was more pop/hip-hop. Sean Paul had a blow-up single Gimme Di Light...but his album overall was'nt very strong. Capleton is a veteran and very good at what he does...he had a good album. Bounty Killer's album Ghetto Dictionary however, was nothing short of stellar! It was straight dancehall for one...no hip hop crossovers. It was original...no remakes of old material. More importantly it was great to listen to!

Here's the overall ratings:

Lyrics: 5/5
Tracks: 4/5
Originality 5/5
Commercial Appeal 3/5
Street Appeal 5/5

The album only falls down in commercial appeal primarily because of the lack of crossover featured artistes. This points how Bounty his setting the standard in taking hardcore dancehall to the mainstream.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE MYSTERY: Bounty Killer, December 19, 2002

Bounty Killer denotes someone who hunts down and kill wanted persons. Bounty Killer has been lyrically slaying dancehall reggae artists for years.

GHETTO DICTIONARY THE MYSTERY shows Bounty Killer's lyrical versatility and prowess. On this album he addresses corrupt govt official (FED UP, track 3), rumor mongering dancehall djs (MYSTERY, track 4), sexual prowess (ARROW, track 19).

This album includes diverse rhythms, rhymes, producers. This album is a must have for reggae listeners.
