Nice post/ nice topic

This is what I call real calypso not the modern soca stuff that seem to have taken over.

I mean how many times can you enjoy "jump an wine," "graab something and wine," wine and roll" etc etc

I am a lyrics and melody man so I love love love the older calysonians. Dem funny as hell witty, cutting, slack and all dat wid sweet melody. Needless to say I love Sparrow Kitch Shadow Rudder and many more but I am not a fan of de "exercise music". Don't get me wrong I like tuh wukup like anybody else but you can give me great dance music with good lyrics and melody...Flag Woman comes immediately to mind. "Get Something and Wave" was a turning point in my mind and even though I loved de song it always feels as if the trend was then to a more hard jump up beat with less and less entertaining lyrics. There is no kind of music that makes me happy like calypso. Up until de early 2000s I knew most of dem but I en up wid the music that much now.
