COOL COOL RIDER

                                                                                                                                                                Anthony Moses Davis better known by his stage name Bennie Man, is a Grammy award-winning Jamaican reggae dancehall recording artist. He is referred to as the world's "King of Dancehall". He calls himself the Ras Moses or The Doctor and his favorite "The Girls Dem Suga" which means he love the lady's and the lady love him too. Anthony was born August 22, 1973, born and raised in Kingston, Jamaica. Beenie Man is a Singer, songwriter, deejay and record producer, and is known for his famous dances and a reggae music. 

  

Though people may think he is a Rastafarian he is not, and have not converted. Beenie was baptized an Ethiopian Orthodox and at the age of 10 became a Judah Coptic. 

Beenie Man had somewhat of a hard time coming into the music industry. He has troubles with the media saying "Is he a Homosexual". Which was very disturbing to Beenie, being as though he comes from a background where all the men are known to be a big flirt and mess with multiple women. Beenie man might have gotten a little hump in the road to success but that didn't stop him. He was young and fresh from being a deejay, which he was very motivated to start his first album "Cool Cool Rider". 

The controversy in the world motivated him to create an album to prove he wasn't an homosexual, with one of his first big song from this album was. Beenie entered the studio and unleashed "Which One," which immediately hit big with the dancehalls. The cheeky "Cu-Cum Looks," versioning Madonna's "Material Girl," also hit big. Although Beenie was quickly reestablishing himself in Jamaica, he was still a few years away from the cultural DJ who broke into the international market with Blessed. But there's no denying Beenie's enthusiasm here, especially on the opening track, "Hey," an exuberant celebration of a good-looking woman.  

This album gets a 7/10 it was his first album and it was decent for him not to have a lot of experience making albums. This album was self produced, and that was ver imaginative being as though he has worked with beats before, and different music.

  However, being the "Cool Cool Rider," Beenie has no fears for himself, the closest the DJ gets to playing the lover man, at least back then. Even as that number leans toward slackness, "Mi Arrow" tumbles over, so slack it sags. But even so, Beenie"A Nuh Strength" (in this case "nuh" means know, not "no"), and the DJ knows how to drive girls to ecstasy.
