Sean Paul's "Dutty Rock" is one of the great dance hall albums that are out there. He continuously gave out hits throughout this whole album. Some of the end songs aren't as powerful as the songs at the beginning such as "Baby Boy", "Gimme The Light", "Get Busy", and "Concrete". His album is very good and definitely worth the cost. Sean Paul has outdone himself on his 2nd album which defiantly places him on the charts.

Sean Paul is Prince of the Dancehall because Beenie man has the "king" title already. This music originates from way back before rap/hip-hop even got started. Sean Paul had thrown some new flavor in there and makes a bangin' dance album. Some people don't like it because they can't understand him, but whose fault is that? People should realize that this music is rich in culture and if he sang it so that everyone could understand it he would be denying the heritage that made the music possible.

Probably this will help you out: almost every song on his album fades out with Sean still singing or the music still playing. I suggest looking up lyrics if you're really interested... or I wouldn't bother... Sean's voice is amazing and is fairly fun to listen to... most the music is upbeat... so if your looking for the sounds then this album is for you. Keep on bumpin' Sean Paul, and keep confusing the ignorant!

I'm a big fan of Sean Paul's "Dutty Rock". Sean Paul puts together some surprisingly slick ryhmes to his Dance Hall beats. As far as I can see, this album has two downsides. One is his accent-- it makes him hard to understand. Second, most of the songs repeat themselves again. But if you have no problem with that, then buy this cd! My favorite tracks include:

Like Glue: Nice beat, nice lyrics. All around good song, I could listen to it over and over.

Top of the Game: I LOVE this track! I'm such a huge fan of Rahzel, and he brightens this track up so much! I often find it stuck in my head, which isnt a bad thing.

I'm Still in Love with You: This is a GREAT Jamaican love balad! At first I thought it was tacky and annoying, and then realized it was unique and awesome...but "That's a dutty dutty love..."

International Affair: This is my favorite track on the cd. Great party song, with a nice dance beat. I could listen to this song ALL day, and still be "Dutty rockin' it from Kingston, JA"

Can You Do the Work: This is a very popular reggae beat.(also the beat to "give it to her hard" by tanto metro and devonte)

My Name: This song has some of my favorite lyrics on the whole cd. must hear, must listen, must LOVE.

Other songs worth listening to are "Punkie", "Shake that Thing", "Gimme the Light Remix", and "It's On"

If I havent stressed this enough, THIS IS A GREAT CD!

I would definitely have to agree with the earlier reviewers that this album was worth the wait. The thing I like about Sean Paul is the energy and creativity he puts into every track. I had to admit I was a little worried about how much of his wicked, original style would be diluted with the mainstream influence. With Dutty Rock Sean doesn't dilute, but rather helps elevate dance hall to another level.

Like Stage One, I can nod my head to this album from start to finish. "Gimme the Light" is obviously getting the mainstream play, but the best tracks on the album in my opinion are "Like Glue" (LOVE that riddim!!), the remake of "I'm Still in Love" (A successful reincarnation of a classic), "Can You Do the Work" (Nice collab with a very talented artist in Ce'Cile), and "Punkie" (I don't even speak Spanish but I love both versions). He rounds out the album with some other great tracks doing collaborations with great artists from the Hip Hop and Dance Hall world. The remix of "Gimme the Light" with Busta Rhymes is definitely a banger for the Hip Hop heads.

I was slightly disappointed with a couple tracks, like "Essa Loca" and that "Bubble" track. I guess I was expecting more from collaborations with Tony Touch and the Neptunes. Nevertheless, this album is extraordinary for a sophmore effort, and a great primer for those who have been sleepin' on dance hall music. It's amazing but yet a long time coming for artists like Sean to break into mainstream, American music culture. Hopefully Sean won't have to sacrifice his original sound to keep doing so. Nuff Respect Sean!! DUTTY EHH!!!!

Sean Paul's "Dutty Rock" is one of the best dancehall albums ever. He keeps giving hits after hits continuously throughout the whole CD. Some of the end songs aren't as powerful as the songs at the beginning such as "Baby Boy", "Gimme The Light", "Get Busy", and "Concrete". His CD is very good and definentally worth the cost. Sean Paul has outdone himself for his 2nd album.

I also don't know why so many reviewers are obsessed is with whether or not you can understand every word SP says (in a seriously thick jamaican accent and vocabulary, no less -- what did you expect if you are not otherwise familar with this type of speech?). There is a lyric sheet on the re-release (now including "Baby Boy" w/ Beyonce) if you really care, but I think you can understand all you need to know from the main event--the music! I bought this on the strength of usual suspects--"Gimme the Light", "Like Glue", but was pleased to discover there are a number of songs on here that are EVEN CATCHIER than the huge hits, if you can believe it, including the sublime "International Affair." I just got this CD about 3 hours ago and will be content to leave it on repeat indefinitely. Highly recommended!!!
