Sure, I-Wayne's album is overrated, but it's really about the singles. "Lava Ground" is amazing, and "Living In Love" is one of the best tunes of the past few years. A couple of months ago you wrote something about I-Wayne not being "the next Sizzla". I agree--but it's because I-Wayne is simply not the same type of artist. He's a conscious singer who'll never do dancehall. The only reason you can talk album with Sean Paul and Jr. Gong is because their albums have been carefully packaged for the international audience-an audience that doesn't still buy 45s. You've gotta start thinking singles with most reggae--especially reggae that hasn't hit the big time (i.e. folks who haven't sung with Beyonce or who aren't related to Bob)...
hey yall, yeah i do think the jamrock lp is better than conscious party which hasn't aged well IMHO. re: i-wayne, you know what it is for me? i'm not into his eek-a-mouse-meets-horace-andy voice and he's incredibly harsh on women--a strange combination for me. i don't know if sizzla's dame dash record will be the real thing. it seems like lots of folks commenting here don't hold much hope for it. i would like to see a new richie spice record soon tho...
