I agree. I even watch the ones for songs don't really know or like. I come away with a new respect for the artists and the songs. I live in Belize and love Sean Paul, so this one was really fun. Thanks Vice.
This is what MTV should be doing. This is a true party song and to know how it was created is just..idk so cool. I need more of these from different types of artists. All types of music. Thank you Vice. 😌
Word. I had no idea who lenky was before this video, so to see the entire thought process and mashing of minds, it's wild. Just gained a ton of respect for Sean Paul because of this video.
Lenky is a genius and props to Sean for listening to advice from people around him. The way he taught him to change up the scale mode he sings in and harmonize with his own back vocals is what really sells the song
Yeah, I think the best advice was also to not go down the route of speaking on the hardships in jamaica, he did one song called Deport them on the bookshelf riddim that hit pretty hard, but its better he did the hype vibe
This song was a huge part of my childhood. My parents used to throw house parties and I vividly remember being 8 years old and just dancing my ass off to this song. Sean Paul is such a legend I’m glad he’s getting his flowers he deserves it 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Sean Paul's 'Get Busy' seems memorable in more ways than one. We're all so lucky to catch a glimpse of the behind the scenes process of songwriting and producing the whole track itself.
I can't stress how HUGE Sean Paul was in the early 2000s here in Toronto. Thank you for my making my teenage years a blast! Also he was already well known (at least here) before Get Busy and Like glue. I think the first Sean Paul song I ever heard was with the Baby Blue Sound crew.
👆👆🍄🍄💯 I recommend microdosing mushrooms, it has really helped me on anxiety , panic attack, bipolar disorder, insomnia , depression PTSD and ADHD schizophrenia.......
Cant believe Its BEEN 20 years since this song dropped. This song along with everything else Sean Paul did afterwards was allways present at our parties for 5-6 years. This is a true classic of my generation. Thank you for all the good memories ❤
Born in 1992 in Brooklyn NYC. Reggae was one of the sounds I heard as a kid even before hip hop honestly. Sean Paul was the biggest artist for me growing up. I’m not Jamaican but I’m Caribbean and he had the block parties on lock! Especially during the summer. Nothing can compare to that late 90s early 2000s vibes! What a time to be alive. My older brother and cousin tell me they used to go crazy in those basement parties 😂. No cell phone, no social media just vibes/music/drinks/conversation/laughter. The good ol days 👏👏
I was born 1982, the late 80’s to early to up 2009 had the best Vibes, but it seems like late 90’s to early to mid 2000’s felt like we were stuck in a time warp, nostalgic moments. Since the rise of social media and RU-vid and Smart Phones everything, especially the Vibez went downhill🤔🤔🤯
Sean Paul is legendary. Even before the Dutty Rock album, his tracks are10/10. Deport Dem, Concrete…. To this day, Diwali riddim can shut down the club. Any track🔥🔥🔥. Jamaica to di world!!! 🇯🇲
Being from London, being a teen in the 2000s, I’m going to say this… There are TWO albums that I saw shifted the culture in London, one of them was Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ and the other was Dutty Rock! If you weren’t there, it’s something unexplainable but after that album dropped, there was nothing like it.
I'm Cameroonian and I was 18 when Dutty Rock came out. It was the first album I ever bought and it was a bootleg album I got for $2 at the time lol. I understand exactly what you mean by culture shift
I love this back story so much and that song is such a dancefloor filler after all these years! I mix Work It, Hot IN Here and Get Busy into Dancing Queen with Yeah and it usually pops off
I was like 11 years or maybe 12 when this song came out in my country and was like a BOMB! I remember that we tried so hard to sing the lyrics . Really blow my mind. Now Im 32 and Im hips start to move everytime i hear this song. Absolutelly love it! 🇨🇱
This was a great glimpse inside one of the songs that really put the whole Caribbean on the map outside of the West Indies. It did and still does the whole W.I. proud knowing that one of our own dominated the charts with a sound and vibe that just wasn't "it" or common in the Western world until it came out...and then helped revolutionize the sound from then on.
A story to always remember. I'm deeply a big fan of the Jamaican Artiste Sean Paul. From the time I heard his hit from Crash Album 1998, it keeps getting better into the early 2000's. Now in 2022 into 2023, Sean Paul sings anything that brings music entertainment into the limelight! Much love and respect from 🇹🇹!
Sean Paul’s story is so unique. Definitely one of my favorite artist. I love how sometimes he sounds like himself sometimes he sounds like Super Kat, shaggy etc. he really is a great talent. And the history of the Diwali Rodin and how many songs came from it is so cool.
As a young dude, I went ballistic on Sean Paul and still do. Sean Paul gave me the best times of my life on the dance floors in all the major parties and concerts I attended. #GetBusy was maaad When I started my career as a concert sound engineer, it was for a Sean Paul event launching Gordon Spark drink in Nigeria. #DrumnBass #Dutty eeee
Having been around the Toronto Caribbean scene around the time this came out the video totally captured the vibe of those parties. It still takes me back to being like 17/18 hanging with my Trini pals.
Always loved his music as a teen and tween. Still do. But watching this and realising what an down to earth, honest and nice human he still is… wow. WOW! He sure deserves all this.
As a Nigerian born in Nigeria, listening to Sean Paul around 2005-6 I always wondered if any Nigerian Artiste could get to the pinnacle of the world stage as Sean Paul did. Indeed he has been a paragon of success ❤
There’s so much music out there and it’s easy to wave off “just another pop song”. But there’s really so much more behind each piece of music. This documentary series dove deep into the people and process of making 1 song, and it makes me appreciate all the wonderfully creative people who bring so much joy into this world.
Oh man... the clubs would go OFF when this tune came on! So glad I got to experience this in real-time.... this whole time was amazing for dance music of all kinds! 🙌
I usually do not comment to videos, but this one, I absolutely loved it. It's been 20 years, and I still remember the time I saw this album on the top sellers shelf in a store, and I also remember how happy I was to have this album.
My first ever cassette I bought as a kid going through a lot between 2003-2006 was Dutty Rock! I just wiped my tears typing this. Makes me so emotional. Sean Paul’s music was everything back then! And this docs has really made the world know the originator of the crazy beat that kept us jamming for years“Diwali” that even made Rihanna the superstar she is now. People, all I can say is take care of people cos every single soul has greatness to offer to the world if treated right and given an opportunity! Bless Sean Paul, bless his brother, bless the whole team who saw the vision and more importantly bless Lenky for that Jam. Love & peace from Accra Ghana 🇬🇭 ✌️ ❤
As a Torontonian who grew up listening to Sean Paul. I have to say, the basement party get up video really resonates with me. That's exactly what happens. I wish I could turn back time and relive that.
I love seeing the magic that happened when Jamaica music and Little X from Torontos vision formed Voltron and catapulted his stardom. Watching "get busy" Growing up in Toronto was soul food, finally seeing an actual representation of our culture and how we partied going mainstream. I honestly thought Shawn was from Toronto at that time. Definitely a T.O Anthem
Hahaha bro that house could of been anywhere in Scarborough, Pickering, Ajax. It really captured that spirit remember we all lost it when it came out trying to figure out where it was filmed haha
My husband & I were dating back then & I didn’t even care for Sean because I saw him an uptown youth trying ‘box food outta real ghetto yute mouth’. Sean has really contributed to dancehall & I’m super proud. The weirder places I’d heard Sean is at a camping ground in northern Japan. They went wild when they saw my Jamaican jacket and knew we were Jamaicans. Proud BUCK
When he came to Haiti everyone LOST IT 🤣 that concert was so packed! I just wished embezzlement money wasn't used to fly him in. But damn... we had fun
I am so grateful to have grown up during this era of music. Sean Paul has an infinite special place in my heart. Gimme The Light definitely changed my ear for music. Actually every song he released during that time was so dope!!! It's actually cool to get some background info on how it all came about. Big ups to you Sean Paul. I love you.
Between 50s GRODT and Sean's DR, combined these albums had EVERYONE from the hardest of the hard on the streets to the nerdiest guy in university feeling like they could roll up banging on anyone and being able to shake that ting like no ones business at the same time! Man 03 what a time. lol these 2 classics did it, simple as that.
It reminds me of bashment parties in places like Rosenheim and Pfarrkirchen... Dancehall was huge back then!!! Big up Sean Paul anytime.. I remember, DJs. (Selectors) were playing reggae and Dancehall music, but when the first Sean Paul Tune dropped, the dancefloor was getting busy! Then party mad!
I wish he talked about and showed more of Toronto. Seans first few major videos were shot in Toronto; Gimme the light, like glue, break out, temperture, etc, Shout-out north stars, black jays, Kardinal,
Man, this new Dancehall wave was such a fresh breeze back then, taking the world by storm. I was in Germany at that time and that's all you'd hear in the clubs and on TV. Once Shaggy set the basis with "Hot Shot", everything that came after that just blew up.
Surprised nothing was mentioned about "Deport Them" was a big tune in NY before "Get Busy". Dancehall was on fire in the early 2000s. 🔥🔥🔥 The music video for Get Busy was just like the house parties in the winter in NYC.
Yeah I was like wait he had bangers before get busy and his old songs deport them, infiltrate, hot sexy punki…some of my favorites. We knew about him long before he was popular in us. And that basement idea def made me feel like wow that’s exactly how island ppl get down in ny…and nobody was representing our culture so accurately like that
Yea its from the view of get busy being number one everywhere … I love all his first bangers more than I love get busy but that was the song that put him on the map map across the world
@@Themilkyoneja yeah his u.s. stuff was a bit Dr Seuss w the lyrics like watered down simple lyrics not like deport them…but the video shows he did that on purpose so ppl could understand and sing along…makes sense. I still enjoy songs like get busy too.
