Hypocrites are always in our midst. They are the people who pretend to live a
good life, pretend to be moral, have principle, or pretend to wish people well,
but behind closed doors, they don’t live a good life, they are immoral with no
principal and don’t wish people well. In
fact, hypocrites will tell you one thing, but do something else.
Dancehall has a new anthem where “Hypocrite” are concerned and it comes courtesy of Sean Paul! Teaming with Andre Gray and his brother Jason
Henriques Misik Muzik / Dutty Rock co-production), Dutty Yeah (aka Sean Paul) wastes
no time letting you know the movements of a hypocrite.
Sampling Dancehall legend Bounty Killer who issues a stern
warning that ‘nuff gwaan like dem ah friend yuh see,’ the tump of the beat and
drum pattern act like a constant knock to your head saying ‘you can’t trust
people.’ By the time we get to the 20
second marker, we accept whatever’s coming as truth.
At 98 BPM Sean Paul sing-jays: “dem ah nuh yuh friend / dem ah friend enemy
/ dem ah pose up / but dem ah wanna-be / dem ah gwaan like / dem would deh deh P
/ anything ah jump off / dem ah fled yuh see / can see dem when dih trouble it
ah knock / but dem surface when dih girls dem ah flock / can see dem when yuh
pocket turn flat / but dem waan sekkle when dih bank book shat….” K-A-B-O-O-M!
What true lovers of Dancehall will appreciate is Sean’s
return to authentic Dancehall – not a lot of instrumentation, but a lot of drum
and 808 kick! Check the link and make
sure you tell SP what you think >>> @duttypaul
