Shaggy Quotes

A lot of people do records, and they get hit records, but we were blessed with a lot of monsters. 'Oh Carolina' was a very monstrous record in 1993; so was 'Boombastic,' 'Angel' and 'It Wasn't Me.'

I did a record with Janet Jackson, and it went to the top of the charts, and we had all of these complications, and she couldn't be in the video and couldn't do anything for the record. I went through something similar with Pitbull. I think it works really well for a lot of other artists, but for me, it just doesn't work that well.
I didn't just sit down and write 'Summer In Kingston' from scratch; it came about from a bunch of songs I already had.
I don't make as many records as other people do because I prefer the live side of it - and my records are so big that they keep me touring for years upon years and years.
I don't want another 'It Wasn't Me.' I've been asked that question so many times. Do I want a song of that magnitude? Great, always, but not the same type of music.

I fought for this country.
