In Jamaica, the Stalag version (or Stalag riddim) is a popular reggae rhythm, which came to prominence in the 1970s. It was mainly used for dub instrumental versions, often b-sides of records.
The rhythm also influenced early hip-hop, and can be discerned on Public Enemy's hit 'Don't Believe the Hype'.
In contemporary times the rhythm successfully made the transition to Dancehall.
