More Magma than Maxi Babydog

Watching Beenie Man live at the Dour Festival the other week I was struck by the strange realisation that Dancehall reggae performed live has more time signature changes than the average Emerson, Lake and Palmer recital. It's that greatest hits-megamix thing that Dancehall stars go in for - four bars of one hit, followed by 8 bars of another, etc, etc. Jive Bunny with street cred.
