Despite the presences of a few longtime peers who have been ultra-talented and have made great contributions to the music, the title of 'Queen of The Dancehall' is one which is virtually indisputable it currently belongs and has belonged to infamous Lady Saw for a long time and, again, even with the arrival of newer crucial talents throughout the years, even THOSE artists are likely to give her the crown. HOWEVER, when it comes to the matriarch of the genre, things are much more clear and are, essentially, a matter of fact. Someone could (and has), rather easily, say the same thing about Yellowman (whose inherent nickname is 'KING' - as in - “King of the Dancehall") (biggup King Yellowman), Shabba Ranking, Bounty Killer and a number of other artists as well. Though Beenie Man once proclaimed himself the 'King of The Dancehall' (and technically does so over and over again every time someone listens to that song) (and would do so again if you asked him to) and has certainly had a sensational career, ultimately such a declaration, in regards to whoever, is a matter of opinion.
