I haven't listened to this CD thoroughly yet, but there are already at least 7 songs I like: Like Glue, Gimme the Light (both versions), Get Busy, and Baby Boy are awesome, and Can You Do The Work and Shake That Thing are good, too. It sounds like a light, energetic, poppy blend of raggae and hip hop.

In response to the other reviews: The 3.5 overall rating is far more accurate than the one star reviews that are up right now - what are y'all ON? Lol. I am not altogether sure what dancehall is, so I cannot comment on that, but I have heard enough raggae to say that it isn't quite that - but then, it's not SUPPOSED to be raggae! Second, he IS Jamaican: 1/2 Jamaican, 1/4 Chinese, and 1/4 Portugese. No, I am sure not all Jamaicans speak the same, saying things like "dutty." Does everyone in the US speak ebonics? Of course not. :)

On a side note, I do miss at least one of the skits that this verson left out - but I don't buy music CDs for skits, do you? :D

im sure its been said before but sean paul is biting Supercat's style to the fullest. it is obvious his record label just pimped him out to an american audience who have no clue about dancehall, because supercat's style was also popular back in the day and no doubt made columbia a lot of money back then. if it wasn't for this and the fact that this record was played relentlessly on commercial radio, i might have actually liked this album.

I do not like this CD it was a waste of my money and I only like 3 tracks on it "Gimme the Light" "International Affair"(the beats are ok) and "Get Busy" the rest are just a waste I tryed to listen to it again recently but after about 13 tracks I hated it and listened to somethin' better.

The beats on this cd are alright but his voice gets on my nerves.

Buy it if u like this type of music but I dont

and that's all I have to say about that

I grew up on raga. As a yout there was school, food, drink and raga. When I was old enough to hit the clubs at 15/16 I was raving to Tiger, Baju and Red Rat... Those were raga artists. Sean Paul has released two good tunes - 'give me the light' and 'like glue,' and even those tunes, although they are good they lean towards what I consider raga-pop. Sean Pauls album is for light weights who aren't into raw dancehall tunes, Sean Pauls 'give me the light' for instance isn't even comparable to Elephant mans 'Log off.' There's space in Raga for Sean Paul and at least he's better than pop artist Shaggy, however, those who recognise what true raga is need to stay away from Sean Paul or at least pick the cd up for 'easy listening' purposes only.

sean paul is definetly the worst person i have ever heard. his music should die in fire. sean paul deserves to be completely out of bussiness from the horrible crap. my ears start to bleed every time i hear his music. i want to be van gough...i dont feel bad for him anymore.then i could at least have one chance to not hear this stuff. i have a story to tell. i woke up one day and i thought...wow im really in love. i turned on the radio prepared to be happy with the music, and its sean paul. suddenly i wasnt in love anymore. i hated everything, including my "lover". another thing...what kind of name is dutty rock. wow...ur jamaican! do all jamaicans talk like that? no! i once went to jamaica back in the day when i was ten. i met a nice jamaican man who worked at the hotel i was at. he took me snorkeling, he got me conch shells, and he gave me the only good time in a while. i define jamaican like that, not as sean paul. sean paul is more of a devils assistant, not a jamaican. his music stinks. i bet hes not even jamaican!

HORRIBLE
