This is arguably one of Shaggy’s memorable tracks. It was even sweeter when Janet Jackson was roped in to deliver a banging chorus! Unfortunately, Janet’s recording company got a bit anal and withheld the rights for Shaggy to include this song in his album. Shaggy had to re-record...

When he first burst into the scene ages ago, I didn’t like him too much, but that all changed as the years went by. For his hits, he surely has his share of misses, loads of them. His new album was another stinker. So, Shaggy, if you’re reading this, instead of releasing albums...

Again, Janet Jackson’s haunting song, is sampled yet..again. This time Pitbull joins forces with DJ Jacky and I think it’s that fella Fatman Scoop also lends his voice. It’s not that great big deal of a song as it sounds more like a mashup of sorts. I think if these musicians...
