Hot Shot by Shaggy

Pros: 2 good songs
Cons: boring

Mr. Lover Mr. Lover aka Shaggy is back with his latest cd titled HOTSHOT released August 2000. Shaggy is known for his Reggae style music. A couple years ago one of his songs was the theme song for 90210.


...

Pros: Good song, nice beat, will likely lead to Reggae's resurgence
Cons: Hard to take a song seriously that has the word: "Peeps" in it

(This review is primarily on the song "ANGEL" by Shaggy, regrettably, there is no place for the single yet)

Girl, you’re my angel, you’re my darling angel
Sounds good doesn't it? Sounds almost vaguely familiar, was it perhaps Juice...

Pros: Great overall sound.
Cons: Adult only.

It is generally easy to label an artists music based upon their style. Perhaps the music has an upbeat sound that fits the “pop” category, or perhaps it has a harder rock sound more suitable to the “alternative” label. However, finding one field that...

Pros: Some great dance music, decent attempt at a feel-good album
Cons: Raunchy, a little fake, lacks substance

Shaggy's cute isn't he? Well, he certainly thinks so anyway. Hot Shot is basically just an album full of songs where Shaggy discusses what a great lover/player he is. His attempt at being sexy just sounds raunchy to me. Also, I don't like an album...

Pros: catchy, irresistible reggae/R&B/pop songs
Cons: after 14 tracks, you're very very tired of Shaggy

MattA75, the King of Rock here at Epinions, reviewing Shaggy,? Can it possibly be so? Well, yes, it can. And it's not even gonna be one of my cynical reviews either. This CD is such a guilty pleasure, I can no longer hold back from...

Pros: Catchy songs, Fun to listen to
Cons: Some words you can't understand because of his accent, Not for kids

We all have our different tastes in music, thats no doubt. I can't say I like one particular kind of music better than others though. I know I don't care for industrial or classic music, but thats just me. Everything else? Oh yeah. Well, this past...

Pros: "Angel" and "It Wasn't Me"; a flashback to my musical past, striking the hidden pleasures of all metal fans (I suppose, you just got to admit to it)
Cons: Much of the album is a flop aside from two killer tracks: some others worthy, but nothing worthy enough for me to mention in my metal head perspective..

Drifting away from my usual style of thoroughly analyzing every album I review, Shaggy's August release, "Hot Shot", drives me to a sense of urgency. About two weeks ago, I heard the single "It Wasn't Me" on the Chicago...

Pros: Some very great tracks and beats. Vocals are smooth.
Cons: Some very dull ones.

First & Foremost
I truly believe the next big thing is reggae pop. I'm surprised that at this point there hasn't been a budding recreation of Mr. Boombastic himself. I'm sure there will be considering it has happened to Britney Spears...

Pros: High production value and some base appeal (think Buster Poindexter “Hot Hot Hot”).
Cons: Insubstantial wallpaper music, juvenile lyrics, some dumb lines and a creepy laugh.

[ history ]
Don’t get mad at me, I’m just the messenger. I realize many people probably love Shaggy -- Orville Richard Burrell -- and this album. I’ve tried to be fair to help those people on the fence. Listen to some samples online before...

Pros: Singles are OK, some good guest vocals
Cons: Samey, weak material.

The return of the larger than life cartoon pop reggae of Shaggy comes in the form of his new CD ‘Hot Shots’. A total of sixteen tracks on the enhanced CD which includes bonus tracks and a video for your perusal.

The trick with Shaggy is not...

Pros: Great smooth lyrics.
Cons: None

Is on of the song's from this album that is my favorite, I sing this song to my daughter.

Here are a taste of the lyrics from that song:

Girl your may angel your may darling angel, closer than my peeps you are to me, shorty your my...

Pros: One of the few CD's I own that I actually love ALL the songs.
Cons: Pretty risque, and some of the tunes get old due to radio over-play

Maybe you're like me. You buy a CD and listen to maybe two or three songs off of it consistently. It's pretty much a waste of money, but what can you do? That's definitely NOT the case with Hotshot. I bought it primarily for "Angel" and "It Wasn't...

Pros: Awesome dance music, summery/tropical feel
Cons: Unoriginal lyrics about sex and cheating

I remember the first time I heard Shaggy on the radio. I thought that he had an interesting style. But then "Wasn't Me" came on the scene and the radio stations kept playing it over and over again, almost every other song. It just started getting...

Pros: Upbeat, different sound
Cons: You will be hearing him even while you sleep

Over the past 5 years my music preferences have seemed to change about once a month.
I went from listening to mostly country music about 5 years ago, to pop/easy listening for the most part.

I had my radio turned on one day and heard part...

Pros: Great C.d over all everything's good
Cons: Some of the songs are not that clean because of what they are talking about

The first time I ever heard of Shaggy was when my sister came home from school and said.. " Elizabeth, have you heard that song by shaggy it wasn't me?" I looked at her and said what are you talking about. Well,...
