Dancehall vs Reggae - Beenie Man

Beenie Man Drink Champs Interview clip where Beenie Man explains the difference between Dancehall and Reggae from his perspective. Beenie Man has contributed both to Reggae and Dancehall, empathasizes with Rastafarai. However, he is based primarily in Dancehall as he is a Dancehall King (though his current ranking is up for debate at this time).

I will be comparing his perspective on the issue to that of his contemporary Buju Banton in an upcoming article. In the article, I discuss which artists more aligns with Kmtyw worldview and the implications this has on our assessment of Black music (using JA music genres as a case example).
