in this light, those producing a riddim, should focus on riddim quality......

id be doing much less bawling about riddims if there were some new ones that could hoist the jockstraps of last years crop.
its been something like 4 months since a new riddim moved me. in early 2003, i was hearing like a new riddim every 2 weeks tops that moved me.
i swear, it feels like the music went into some sort of hybernation the second the US market started to embrace it, post gimme the light.
its weird, major magazines on the scene here in the US are jocking dancehall, allllllll the wanna be djs play their worn out tired ass bargain bin dancehall cuts everywhere you go now, and yet no new riddims have come out in ages.
fockery.
are people in jamaica discussing this? am i totally reading too much into the lack of riddims? am i just not hearing the new riddims?
