#Never knew a ghal mi love so much. vybz kartel download skin
With a knowing chuckle and self-deprecating references to his skin bleaching, name-checking uptown haunts instead of the usual inner-city neighborhoods, and cheering on the go-to summer activities (“ De hot gyal dem a bring it on/In a bikini dem in a pretty thong/Pool party!”), he charmed his way onto every floor and playlist. The phenomenon of the Jamaican dancehall summer song was still relatively new on the island in 2011, where realistically summer is 365 days long. The appeal was obvious-this was Vybz Kartel, the undisputed star of dancehall, at the height of his fame, leaving his “bad man” songs and working his witty lyricisms and cheeky wordplay into a laid-back, feel-good ode to everyone’s favorite season. If you were in Kingston in the summer of 2011, you could not get away from the “Summer Time” wave, which began in Jamaica and continued onward to conquer all dancehall capitals, from New York to Nairobi. The rest of the song comprises bar after bar of the kind of gun talk that’s cemented Bounty’s place as “the Warlord” of the dancehall.but you’ll never hear it. By the time the infamous bassline comes in, chopped up under Bounty’s lyrical assault, it’s time to smack the needle again because, by now, wall-pounding will most likely have escalated to chair-flinging and table-flipping. If a second pass lets you hear the first actual lyrics, consider yourself lucky.
It’s rare for the 45 to play past the treble-heavy opening clarion call of Jammy’s “Sleng Teng” riddim and Killer’s blood-curdling bawl of “Peeeeople dead….DEAD-UH!” before the needle is smacked off the vinyl and the venue descends into pure pandemonium. By that upside-down measure, Bounty Killer’s “Lodge” may be the all-time biggest tune you’ve never heard. One of dancehall’s central paradoxes, in fact, is that the bigger a tune is, the less you actually get to hear it. A true bashment anthem is recognizable less by its hook than by the chorus of whistles and wall-pounding it earns from an engaged audience.
