Kangaroo Hop Riddim – Mister Tipsy

KANGAROO HOP RIDDIM ? MISTER TIPSY 1992

By 1992, dancehall was deep into its digital-to-analog crossover years, and Mister Tipsy’s Kangaroo Hop Riddim sits right in that pocket: a nimble, hooky juggling built around the “Should I” foundation, with Blackbeard, Sly Dunbar, Herbie Harris, Lloyd Willis and Jason Lee credited on the release. The lineup leans on singers and deejays who knew how to work a compact riddim hard, from Richie Stephens’ “Should I” and Beres Hammond’s “Step Aside” to Lady Ann’s “Man Move” and the Beres/General Trees combo on “My Time Fe Ride. ” It’s the kind of early-’90s cut that keeps the groove tight and mobile, with a springy drum pattern, clipped bassline and room for the vocals to ride cleanly over the top. Especially on the Beres tracks, the delivery stays light on its feet while the rhythm keeps a brisk, forward-moving bounce.
