"As you may (or may not) recall, in the ג90s it was fairly common practice for popular dancehall singlesגespecially ones by street-oriented artists like
Bounty Killer, Supercat and Louie Rankinגto be remixed by replacing the original dancehall riddims with familiar hip-hop beats,
theoretically enhancing the tunesג crossover appeal in the States.
In a few cases, such as Salaam Remiגs mix of Supercatגs גGhetto Red Hotג and Lil Jon & Paulגs (yes, that Lil Jon) twist on Capletonגs גTour,ג
these would go on to be the best known versions of these respective songs. More often, they simply became underground classics,
encapsulating a time when there truly was a great exchange of ideas between hip-hop and dancehall".
