    its kinda nice that shaggy was actually concerned about the lyrical content. I mean a lot of singers don't care if they offend somebody.

      Interestingly, shaggy sand in Patois on the song but speaks impeccable English without a trace of a Jamaican accent. On the other hand, RikRok sang in English but ordinary speaks Patois with t a very typical Jamaican influence. I guess music is just like acting. You get into character and do your part flawlessly!

    That's what's up. People think artists just decide to go one way, but the truth is, art changes direction as it gets created. The end product is either loved or hated. In this case, it became a international jump-off and I know, from my experience, that that double meaning played well with us "player' of the day. Tight track, and thanks TTS and JF and Shaggy for the hook up. I know that most of us true playaz from back in the day always wondered, "how he got it so right?". Now we know, it was just as simple (and complicated) as we were back then. I love that the track has taken on a life of its own and, like most good art, can be viewed/understood from each person's own perspective. Thanks to the artist, and the show, for that bit of knowledge.
