Vegas 'Daggering', a buss



Mr Vegas in kumina gear on the set of his new video 'Daggering'. - Contributed

In this weekly 'Mus' Buss/Caan Buss' song review feature, three musical minds with different tastes analyse each song and grade it on vocal ability, lyrics, musical arrangement and appeal. Songs that make the grade will be dubbed 'Mus' Buss', while songs that flop, they will be dumped in the 'Caan Buss' bin.

The three reviewers welcome feedback from the artistes and the public about the column. Send your comments to bussdem@ hotmail.com or mail in your songs to Muss Bus' at the Gleaner Company, 7 North Street, Kingston. This week the Muss Bus'/Caan Buss team will be reviewing Mr Vegas' Daggering.

Stunner: "Well, di riddim nice still, di riddim have a vibe, mi can see people at dance a dance to it. Lyrics dem coulda likkle betta, it can go on work wid. Yu can buss two dagger to it."

Witch: "What exactly is the daggerin?"

Lady Boo: "Daggerin ... Mi nuh know, dancing dutty fridaze style on roof top, spin inna tree, really acrobatic. Yuh haffi wine hard."

Stunner: "You guys are so uptown. That is not daggerin."

Witch: "What is it then? Enlighten us."

Stunner: "Mi a go pretty it up yuh know 'cause yuh caan give dem too hard. Daggering is an art which involves di rapid back and forth movement of a male pelvis while the female braces. Simple."

Witch: Ok ... Well back to di song di pocomania-like riddim bad still. Is sumting mi neva really hear done like this and Vegas rides it very well. It has a festival feel but mi can see people a dance di old dances to it."

Lady Boo: "Mi like di whole folk element but for some reason, it not really clear in some sections, it sound like the words just a run on."

Stunner: "True, still; dem a call di people dem ting 'dawgering' when is daggering."

Witch: "What I find funny is dat when yuh hear it, yuh woulda think is a festival ting, nice clean kumina stuff, but when yuh hear the words, it's talking 'bout di usual raw dancehall stuff, where every woman a come fi find out from the men wha daggering really is."

Lady Boo: "Mi like di background vocals, it simple but very folkish."

Stunner: "It look like Vegas like the folk sounding ting, from Tek Weh Yuhself to dis, it's di same kinda vibe."

Witch: "Well, let's hope it brings Vegas back to di spotlight like he was last year. But mi tink it will get a buss."

Lady Boo: Well, it can't catch me a dagger inna public but mi can see whole heap a people a dance to di son. Mi nuh see an International buss fi it but it, will buss in dancehall."

Stunner: "International or local, it nuh really matter to me, but mi feel seh it most likely a catch me daggering in public."
