i was sitting down listening to Busta's it ain't safe no more... when it dawned on me -- the urge to get Sean Paul's dutty rock first occured to me.

here's my history of sean paul-ness (exclusive to 2003): i hear the first single off the album (forget which) and like it. i think this is nice (ooh, might be the "make it clap" remix). see the "get busy" video and fall in love with it. now, after that comes the downfall, the everyone-loves-dancehall now (after the unfortunate shaggy love the year before) mainstream. and i get overloaded and over sean paul.

then there's "like glue", which i didn't get into at the time, and now -- "i'm still in love with you", which i thought would be the song to take sean paul right off the radar (oh, and let's not even get started on the horrible "baby boy"). but no, somehow people latched onto that song. not i. no.

then i kept seeing the video on musique plus last week. and last night was the first time i actually got into it.
but the thought of buying the album never entered my mind - until today when i was listening to the original "make it clap" from busta and some reggae-style song after that.

the urge to buy dutty rock has entered my mind :)
