| I Am A Caribbean Guy!
And thus, being from the Caribbean, this list pays homage to artists
that either are from the Caribbean, or sound like they deserve to be
(mainly because they input reggae aspects in their music). One artist
per genre. Site needs a bit more flair! | | 1 | Bob Marley
Reggae: The undisputed king of reggae. Obviously. No need to say more. | | 2 | Rihanna
R&B: Well she's from Barbados so I guess she fits in here. Pity her music
doesn't sound Caribbean anymore like her first album did. Mehhh | | 3 | Machel Montano
Soca: If you don't know what Soca is, you're forgiven, and don't go find out,
because it's too simple for the pretentious minds here... it's fun though.
He's extremely popular at Carnival time everywhere in the region. Hails
from Trinidad and Tobago. | | 4 | Major Lazer
Dancehall: Not from the region but Diplo and Switch's music takes the best
parts out of dancehall and make it at least tolerable... I suppose. | | 5 | Skindred
Reggae Metal(?): Not from region but better than anything that the local
metal bands put out, they're still stuck in thrash metal 80's days. Benji
Webbe has a real Jamaican voice that is superb. | | 6 | Sean Paul
Club(?): You probably forgot about this guy. He's still awesome though,
makes banging tunes (music that you don't have to think about, just jump
up to) nuff said. Another Jaimacan... | | 7 | The Mighty Sparrow
Calypso: Easily the most well known calypsonian ever, praised in the region
and in some parts of the world. | | 8 | Daddy Yankee
Reggaeton: Puerto Rico counts as Caribbean so he's here. Don't care about
him really, but he's cool for the clubs. | | 9 | Ricky Martin
Latin: Everyone knows Enrique here personally so it's time for the spotlight
to shine on Ricky for once. Plus he's actually from the region and not from
Mexico, so he's legit. Sorry Enrique (though he never reads my lists
anyway) | | 10 | 311
Rock: Not from region, but that song they made, Amber, gets me every
time, so they have the final place. | |

08.13.10 | So I guess I should go listen to some "proper" music now... | 8bit
08.13.10 | hey... wheres Sean Kingston!?! | 8bit
08.13.10 | wat the quoid | DarthBlubber
08.13.10 | T-Pain??? lol no... but this made me realize there's no recognizable rap artist from the region (not
to my knowledge anyway) which sucks. Honestly forgot about Sean Kingston, my bad... | bloc
08.13.10 | BOOYAKA. Sorry, I have a few friends from the Caribbean that I like to yell at. | DarthBlubber
08.13.10 | LOL, I think that made my night actually! Bumboclaat! | bloc
08.13.10 | Ohhhh, so THAT'S how you spell that word. I wanted to write that, but didn't know how to spell it :D | DarthBlubber
08.13.10 | Yep, glad you learned something new today lol :) | East Hastings
08.13.10 | u know sean kingston is from miami right? | 8bit
08.13.10 | why the fuck does he always go around saying WHAT THE QUAAUDD JAMACIA | DarthBlubber
08.13.10 | Yeah I know, but once he sings the type of music, he could have been included... did you not see my list? Skindred? 311? It's all about the music man! | 8bit
08.13.10 | Yeah your right, are you typing on a computer in the Caribbean right now? | DarthBlubber
08.13.10 | Who are you talking about 8bit? I probably can't answer anyway, I'm a Trini, we're distinctly different, though we try to copy the Jamaicans at times. | DarthBlubber
08.13.10 | Yes, I've lived in Trinidad and Tobago my whole life... | 8bit
08.13.10 | That's awesome man, I've always wanted to travel to the Caribbean. And I was just talking about Sean Kingston, apparently he's from Miami but I guess he probably has Jamaican roots. | DarthBlubber
08.13.10 | Oh him... do you mean What a gwaan? It's like saying what's up, what's happening lol, hailing out Jamaica probably... and cool man, Caribbean is generally nice! | Yeahtoast
08.13.10 | Anyone seen 5 live? Playing near here soon, considering going but I'm pretty reluctant even though their albums weren't bad. | Dryden
08.13.10 | they suck live | pizzamachine
08.13.10 | Girls must love you | DarthBlubber
08.13.10 | pizzamachine I'm a Caribbean guy but I live in the Caribbean lol, so no, not really, I'm just another guy here. Plus I'm not a typical Caribbean guy in any case. | pizzamachine
08.13.10 | Obviously the solution is to leave the Caribbean. | DarthBlubber
08.13.10 | lol yeah, but I'm not aiming to be a chick magnet, so even if I leave I'm just gonna be that guy... |
