McGregor makes bold claims, naming Buju Banton as both the “King of Reggae” and the “King of Dancehall.” Why? He credits Buju’s rare ability to excel in both genres, performing reggae one night and commanding the stage with dancehall the next. McGregor even places Buju above Bob Marley as reggae’s greatest, citing Buju’s versatility compared to Marley’s exclusive focus on reggae.

For dancehall, McGregor crowns Beenie Man as the ultimate king. His reasoning? Beenie Man’s global recognition and chart-topping hits—like the iconic Who Got the Keys to the Bimmer—have made him a household name worldwide. In contrast, McGregor argues that Vybz Kartel, despite his impact, has a more localized fanbase centered in Jamaica and the Caribbean diaspora.

This short dives deep into reggae and dancehall culture, highlighting legends like Bob Marley, Buju Banton, Beenie Man, Vybz Kartel, and Beres Hammond. If you love reggae, dancehall, and Caribbean music, this is your chance to join the conversation and weigh in on the debate!

  • Montego Bay Ascendant: Swallowtail Tower Tops Out, Cementing City’s Role as Jamaica’s New Development Leader

    Montego Bay, long established as the Caribbean’s premier tourism capital, is now boldly stepping forward to claim its title as a leader in integrated, high-end residential development. The city’s skyline has been irreversibly changed with the Official Topping-Out Ceremony of the Swallowtail Tower, the first of the four luxury residential towers at The Pinnacle. Reaching its final height of 28 stories, the tower now stands as the tallest building in Jamaica. Notably, even during its construction, the structure and its installed systems demonstrated absolute resilience against the fury of Hurricane Melissa, standing tall and virtually unscathed against the Category 5 winds. This monumental achievement not only solidifies Montego Bay’s structural progress but also signals its intent to become a primary hub for luxury living and diversified economic activity, challenging Kingston’s traditional dominance in non-tourism-centric development.
