[edit] Bollocks
Much as I like the ragga jungle, this article is fatally flawed. When jungle began seperating from hardcore/rave, there was no such thing as ragga jungle. All jungle was jungle and there was no distinction or little distinction between jungle tracks. Nobody called jungle with ragga vocals "ragga jungle". The term "ragga jungle" is a definition thought up to differentiate the ragga vocal sound of drum and bass/jungle from mainstream drum and bass, after ragga vocals were abandoned by most producers. Calling Rebel Mc or Shy Fx ragga jungle in 1991-1995 is a distortion of history. North American prudcers creating ragga influenced drum and bass/jungle may like to think that they are the rightful heirs of a style that existed in 1991 but back in the day, there was no ragga jungle. Most jungle producers "back in the day" are now drum and bass producers to those who bother to clearly differentiate the styles.
Apart from the mistake in calling the 1991-1995 style ragga jungle, it is an abuse not to recognise that drum and bass and ragga jungle are difficult to differentiate, which is worth at least a mention that some view ragga jungle as a subgenre of drum and bass.
