In reply to tits mcgee.

Rock the boat is barely island influenced. You don't listen to that record and think Jamaica, Barbados etc. Slay_Hive was responding to datreddone23's comment when he/she said Beyonce's 'Ring Off' gives them Riri island gal teas. He responded with saying Baby Boy, which is island influenced, came before Rihanna existed as an artist. He never said Beyonce did reggae before everyone. Only Rihanna. lol I don't understand where Aaliyah and Ashanti came into the conversation. No one other than Aaliyah fans remember Rock the boat.
