	Here’s a lesson that won’t take long to absorb: Beenie Man’s dancehall “Education” is instantly compelling, thanks to his clear-voiced chatting and a couple of ingeniously-utilized guitar samples. One’s a rubbery rhythm lick, the other’s a bit of metallic harmonics: both grab your ear right off and, along with a bit of turntable work, give the tune a jolt of hip-hop phlavor. Beenie’s vocal is just as insistent, as he argues that education is “better than silver and gold” and takes the moral high ground to press the point -- you don’t study up, you’ll be selling your soul to the devil instead, he warns. Grade this one an A-minus, since the download unfortunately begins in the middle of a beat.
