Since the mid-'90s, Beenie Man has ruled the dancehall with a combination of wicked humor, strange melodies, rump-shaking beats, dirty talking, and high-minded roots and culture. To some, his music represents all that is wrong with reggae, with its salacious humor and ultramodern rhythms; while for others, these aspects make him the greatest thing since sliced bread. Beenie himself doesn't seem fazed by this contradiction--he just continues to make hit after hit and sounds like he is having fun doing it. MAESTRO is a high point, featuring big hits like the swinging "Nuff Gal," "Romie," and the wonderful "Girls Dem Sugar." But there is a whole lot more to Beenie Man than just girl lyrics. "Africans," "One Big Road," and "In the Ghetto" (recorded with hip-hop's Da Bush Babees) are all strong roots-oriented dance tracks that demonstrate Beenie's ability to change styles while still staying true to his own unique voice.
