@ lenham

is recentish and good rnb imo

but the best album back then is without a doubt brandys full moon imo. it's just ridiculous production standards, catchy melodies and sort of the style timbaland took on on aaliyah and some of missys albums, like highly syncopated drums and almost junglist.

I don't get why people use Jah samples and shit so much. Like you wouldn't put random samples about Jesus in your tunes when not religious thinking it sounds cool. It's like reggae gets a pass lyrically because it's made by dudes who smoke lots of weed when really the lyrical themes can be on a par with christian rock (I know it's also helped by pretty much all reggae not being on the unlistenably awful level of christian rock though)

I thought you liked grime

I like grime but what's that got to do with it? I'm not trying to claim I'm some road man or something. I play the records but I don't try give off any image or whatever. I'm not using slang on twitter I don't say in real life. I'm turning up to dj wearing t shirts for black metal bands and have mutton chops for fuck's sake. I mean there's a difference between being into music that has nothing to do with your life style and making references to a religion you aren't a part of. Like you can sample a reggae or dub track in a track where it makes sense or whatever as an element in your tune but having random Rastafarian speech samples before a drop into some generic dungeon tune and constantly referencing religious elements that you aren't remotely involved in can just feel really corny.

Fair nuff

Was Stella Sessions a weekly or monthly show, and when did it end?

Sounds like you're more pissed at bad and tasteless sampling than a Jah reference. Throwing it in because its the in-thing is tasteless sampling, its not to say people outside of Rastafarian religion can't use it in a tasteful manner. The Rastafarian movement in Jamaica b2b independence had a huge influence on Jamaican music.. Ska, Reggae, Dub.. and soundsystem culture. If you're making those styles of music in a modern day approach why would it be corny to add in a Jah sample? Its just a tribute to the roots of those styles of music.

I'd find it more corny if a true, practicing Rastafarian deep house producer stuck in a random Jah sample throughout a track than a middle class, white, English athiest guy producing roots dub music. Its all down to the music, not the beliefs of the producer behind the music.
