Same thing, is the short answer.

Longer answer

Bashment = "a bash" = a party in JA = music played at a party JA

dancehall = somewhere people go to dance in JA = the music played in a dancehall


There is a longer answer than this which talks about early 80s dancehall vs ragga vs late 90s dancehall and bashment, but I can't be arsed getting into that now :)

so what actually happened to Task (Youngsta's old MC) ????


was there a massive fight with youngsta?
someone must know.. he literally just disappeared..
and the thing is he was such a perfect host for yunx.. proper downbeat and slow-witted (in a good way)

allow Toast. he's shit and he's got a rubbish voice.

anyone have an idea or would hazard a guess at what the lead instrument is on Alicia Keys - Feelin' U, Feelin' Me?

It sounds a bit like some kind of electro-mechanical rhodes type thing but with effects, but seeing video of her playing it live it just looks like some synth.

Live video I just watched on Youtube looks like she's using a Moog Voyager, but doesn't sound like the recorded version.

Recorded version I just listened to on Spotify sounds like a distorted Rhodes (or perhaps a Wurlitzer). The dynamics of it certainly suggest it's not a synth.

There was some something brewing between yunx and task, and from what I heard (hearsay, of course) he just stopped coming in one day.
Task also ended up in Texas apparently, and Yunx got Toast in.
I have at least one old Task era show where they refer to a "Toast" who's in the studio and makes noises or something on the mic....

It's a shame, I dearly miss Task.
There was something infectiously loveable about someone who would say: GETTIN COLDA over the mic.
