Some local raves/parties I've been to have the "junglists" rewinding after
half the song is done. A bit pointless..... and yeah, it IS a bit amusing
(from my perspective) to find a Texas MC imitating Jamaican slang in between
giving "big ups" to his crew and whoever else.
I enjoy Dynamite 's (Reprazent's MC) approach; his West Indian/English
accent comes across naturally due to (perhaps) his Jamaican ancestry and in
the live video I saw he wasn't necessarily using an over-abundance of
Jamaican slang but was just flowing confidently and smoothly in getting the
crowd hyped.
