miss priss, I recommend you move to FL. Living in Florida it is a MUST that you have at least a working understanding of Patois as well as Spanish and Haitian Creole.
I like reggae too, and am kinda floored that artists like Sean Paul are just now beginning to get national exposure (although he is more dancehall than reggae).
Reggae Gold 1999 was the best thus far IMO, but 2002 is pretty good.
Also, and this might just be a FL thing, but there is an underground mixtape series called Black Chiney that puts reggae vocals on American hip hop and R&B tracks. It is hot down here. Maybe you can DL some of it off the net.
