Sean Paul has managed to stay relevant in the music industry for over 20 years without changing his persona which is an incredible achievement. Big up to him!

[legorahma]

"son of reggae, brother to hip hop"

[JoseLopez-tvbu]

I think you can tell a lot about a person based on how they talked about his colleagues. Respect for that!

[christopherk.agbega]

I love how he recognized Koffee. That's so touching for an OG to look at a youngin and say "salute" - That's Great. A true humble expression 💯

[kurtriley]

Wow, so proud to hear him talk about Bam Bam prod by my father (R.I.P) Winston Riley of Techniques Records

[JuniorRodigan]

SEAN PAUL = the most CONSISTENT Dancehall artist in years of HITS this April . Brilliant

Impossible to dislike Sean Paul. I used to buy his records when no one rated him, same with TOK good to see he won at life

[chupaanideas]

EVEN WHEN HE IS TALKING IT SOUNDS LIKE HE IS SINGING

[Janiiya]

You honestly can’t deny the impact that Jamaica has had and continues to have on the music industry 🤷🏾‍♀️

[andymwes]

The knowledge the man has. No wonder he has been consistent this long in the industry. He's inspired by legends but he doesn't copy them, he brings his unique sound and it always pays.
Also it was very nice hearing him talk about get busy.

[kaleahcollins]

Im glad he recognized supa cat as his musical father

[OriginalBoondocksXVIII]

Man, I could've watched another hour of this easily. I'm a '94 kid and was born in NY, but my entire family is Jamaican so I grew up on almost everything in this video. Was a huge Sean Paul fan as a yute too, had the Dutty Rock CD and multiple ringtones (lol) and all that. Loved this video! ❤️🇯🇲

[Jaidzeka]

I just realized how old I am when he said I dunno if you kids nowadays know what a record is. Immediately I'm thinking who DOESNT know what a record is? Lol

[ramimwamba]

I love Jamaicans so much, a man said "Jodie who's my wife now...big up" 😂😂

[BrooklynBwoii]

Man, when he salutes Koffee. Respect.

[FallonFontaine]

'Get Busy' STILL hits to this day. Sean Paul is so underrated.

[teemaro]

Used to have a crush on this man 🤣😂

High school was fun because of him. All my ringtones in high school were Sean Paul tracks. Just gimme the light, Punkie, Temperature, We be burning....

[lilmissmalone]

In Trinidad and Tobago we called this “maxi dub” because it was the music predominantly played in our most popular form of transport at the time: “maxi taxis”, a mini bus type of vehicle. Sean P just described a large part of my childhood and teenaged years. Reggae, Soca, Rap, Grunge, R&B- they heavily influenced us. ❤️

Love hearing artists talking in depth about the history of their genre, this is great
