More like I jumped fence for a genre (a generation?). I really enjoyed Jamaican dancehall rappers like Brigadier Jerry, Prince Jazzbo, Big Youth, Yellowman etc. in the early 80s, then just gave up on it when it went to the U.S. and became rap. To me it's as if the last 35 years of pop music has been largely dominated by a form that's as novelty and quickly gotten over as talking blues. Imagine the talking blues form dominating pop music for 35 years. I will be corrected here to be sure, but that is how it is for me.
