Beenie Man on Pharrell & Mya collab, dancehall history, Eminence & Bounty Killer | The Real

Grammy-winning dancehall legend Beenie Man joins Tony Yayo and Uncle Murda to talk his biggest hits, making “Girls Dem Sugar” with Pharrell and Mýa, and working with Janet Jackson. The King of Dancehall breaks down reggaeton’s connection to reggae, reflects on “Flow Natural,” revisits his legendary clashes with Bounty Killer, and salutes artists including Shabba Ranks, Buju Banton, Lady Saw, and Spice. He also shares how singing helped him manage his childhood stutter, recalls recording at eight years old, and discusses his album ‘Eminence,’ featuring Snoop Dogg, T.I., Ashanti, and Mýa. Plus, Brooklyn vs. Queens, why dancehall clashes belong onstage, and a hilarious turkey-bacon debate.
