Lucifer is quoting/sampling Max Romeo's "War in a Babylon" - which is neither dancehall nor from the early 80s

minor quibble I guess

"Broader Than Broadway" belongs here, I would think

surprised nobody's ever sampled Dillinger "Cokane in the Brain" (that I know of)

― dmr, Thursday, 12 July 2012 16:11 (fourteen years ago)

What's the Beastie Boys sample that goes "I don't sniffa coke I only smoke the sensimilla"?

― Scary Move 4 (dog latin), Thursday, 12 July 2012 16:16 (fourteen years ago)

Pato Banton I think.

Speaking of which - Pato Banton "My Opinion" is fantastic. I especially like the Mad Professor mix. So, what do you call this style of reggae? I've always had trouble describing it other than "80s dancehall" which is too wide a net.

― Scary Move 4 (dog latin), Thursday, 12 July 2012 16:23 (fourteen years ago)

is Junior Reed's One Blood too later for this?

― “Yes, I love the kinky fuckery." (a hoy hoy), Thursday, 12 July 2012 16:23 (fourteen years ago)

It's later 80s, but I think it counts.

― Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Thursday, 12 July 2012 16:24 (fourteen years ago)

Pato Banton is still dancehall, but he's kind of outside the mainstream Jamaican stuff (like most Mad Professor affiliated stuff is.)

― Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Thursday, 12 July 2012 16:25 (fourteen years ago)

I mean dancehall is a ridiculously broad term anyway. Basically everything from mento to ragga is dancehall, really.

the max romeo sample in Lucifer is "chase the devil", isn't it? or is there also a "war in babylon" quote I'm missing in there?

― brio, Thursday, 12 July 2012 17:37 (fourteen years ago)

well it's from the album war in a babylon yeah the song is chase the devil
