Shaggy........come back to us!! I first started listening to him when I saw his videos on BET's Caribbean Rhythms (Please BET. As much as I enjoy listening to his music now, nothing compares to this cd! It seems that Shaggy has gone too mainstream and needs to go back to his roots. . . bring it back!!), and would like nothing better if he would (with Rayvon) go back to his old style. .
Every song is Great
I wish Shaggy would go back to the sounds of this album. I bought this CD this first day it came out, The songs are great, everything from Tek Set to Bedroom Bounty Hunter to the hit Oh Carolina.
Better then "Boombastic"
Songs like "Oh Carolina" and "Nice and Lovely" are genuine new reggae gems from the early to mid-Nineties, and I spent a great deal of my younger teenage years enjoying this album. If you like Shaggy's unique blend of reggae with hip-hop beats (and sometimes hip-hop macho posturing as well) then as a complete work this is probably his best album. If you like some of Shaggy's radio hits, this album isn't too much of a stretch from those songs and I would say that you would most likely enjoy it.
