It's not really patois once you write it down, is it? And isn't it just an alternate pronunciation that became a separate word? Saying "Patois" seems pedantic. frankenc —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.110.57.150 ( talk) 05:12, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
Do we really want to assert that there are three types of riddim? Are we saying here that the "juice" riddim is not "digital"? That is not accurate, but if you can add more info/explanation, it would work. Also, is someone going to continue updating the riddims listed per year? And does that really add to the article?

I am looking to make a reggae song, and need a background riddim, as in one without words already put in. "Ice breaker" would be great. In the riddim article here, it has links to sites with lists of all riddims, but no blank riddim downloads. Anyone know where to find how to get one? The reggae artists (there are like 20 songs using Ice breaka as a base) have to get it somewhere. That would be "bashy and smashy." -User: Barkman27
I don't understand the formatting in the riddim list, e.g. "-2005:::: Seasons::Jonkanoo::Sweet". Is this a special notation for riddims or something? Could we wikify it, if otherwise? If it's not special riddim notation, I'll clean it up. Someone let me know. Thanks! Nathan Beach 21:20, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

"A riddim is an instrumental version of a song"
"In modern music a rhythm section generally consists of percussion instruments, bass and possibly chordal instruments..." (taken from the wiki page for "Rhythm")
I can't believe this thing has its own page... --

There is a clear difference. IMO this is a racist attempt to relegate an "ebonic" topic (since you brought it up). Article does need improvement but even as is I strongly oppose any efforts to merge. Ggpur ( talk) 21:32, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

I removed " Steely & Clevie are regarded as the most gifted dancehall-reggae producers of all time." This may be true, but I'm not sure it belongs in this article. Maybe in their own article, and only then with some proof. Including it makes the article look untidy and unfocused. Faragher ( talk) 13:07, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

I love all of the phonetic spellings, but really, is it really worth all of the confusion to phonetically spell out someone's pronunciation? I could be saying "apple" and meaning "apple" but it sounds like "orange". You should probably still write "apple". 207.159.180.63 ( talk) 02:44, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
