wipeout redux

Maybe the song wipeout riddim isn't exclusively Buju Banton.

It seems to be an entire album with wipeout by the Surfaris in the background while dancehall dudes chant over it.

The one i've heard (crazy one below) is insane. Buju's is good, but reserved somewhat.

I read on some dancehall forum (in dancehall-eze.... i.e. bhwy wat u wan dat white muzik fukky fuh?) that many dancehall lovers see the wipeout riddim as some white boy thing that should be discounted at all costs.

Who knows. It's pretty crazy though.

Give me some elbow room
I need some elbow room
So I can boom shakalaka boom
