The Badman Riddim (Jump) Songfacts reports that Orifice Vulgatron and Dag Nabbit met in Dubai and after making drum and bass for a time they switched to hip hop. DJ Nonames met Metropolis at university in 2000 and the duo joined hip hop and funk band Focused Few and began throwing warehouse parties and touring. Vulgatron was introduced to Nonames through Dj Gizroc, then part of the Mixologists Crew, and by late 2002 the quartet had started performing and recording alongside beatboxer Shlomo. The band released their first album, Asylum Speakers on November 27, 2003. Shlomo subsequently moved on and started doing his own thing with the Beatbox Orchestra and by 2011 Dagnabbit had taken a backseat and was concentrating on the crew's business side.
The crew have released a slew of 12"s and Ep's and really made their mark after independently releasing their critically acclaimed, debut LP 'Asylum Speakers'. Foreign Beggars have collaborated and toured with the cream of UK's Hip Hop movement, with Shlomo appearing on Björk's album Medulla and NoNames having done cuts for Damon Albarn's Gorillaz project. With forthcoming projects with Dj Sparo, Dj Vadim, Dudley Perkins, WildChild (Lootpack), OH NO, Dj IQ, Dj Mentat, Scratch Perverts, and Euphrates, the crew see no boundaries with diversifying their sound.
Foreign Beggars are also renowned for their explosive live performances, which recently saw them tear down Glastonbury, Fabric and Hip Hop Kemp in Hradec Kralove. They have supported Public Enemy, Roots Manuva, Beatnuts, Masta Ace, Grand Master Flash, Talib Kweli, Wu-Tang Clan, Asian Dub Foundation, Last Emperor, Mark Ronson, Ja Rule, Blak Twang, and many more.

The lyrics of the song "Badman Riddim" by Foreign Beggars is about hyping up the crowd with a badman ting, which signifies a tough and fearless image. The song revolves around the DJ starting the music, the bass hitting up the chest, and the rapper calling out everyone to come forward and join in the vibe. The artist is a slick talker and a badman 'cloud,' and he puts it down like 'braap' while staying on the cloud. The rapper's lyrics have an attitude of showing off skills and taking control of the situation. The chorus is catchy and asks everyone to jump and come with it inside the place.
The song's intensity and the fast-paced rhythm make it a perfect club anthem to dance to. The lyrics use Jamaican Patois and English phrases together, creating a fusion of different styles. The foreign beggars were known to mix several genres of music, including electronic, hip-hop, trap, and breakbeat. The song's title, "Badman Riddim," is a nod to the sample of the same name, which is a popular tune in Jamaican dancehall music. The song's structure is minimalistic, leaving more space for the beats to shine, and it is a recognizable and memorable track.

I remember trying to explain to my mate about 10 years ago about this song. It's done my head in ever since. My 5 year old is a major Godzilla fan and heard the song while he was on iPad. Quick Google search for dance song with Godzilla sample and hear I am.
