At least in the UK, wasn't it some feud he had with a comedian who was making fun of him that made him a running joke with folks there and hurt his image?



If I remember correctly he got real butthurt about it instead of taking it as a joke and folks though he was a bit lame for it.


Nah but to be fair that guy made an absolute mockery out of him. Bo Selecta was one of the highest viewed TV shows on at the time and it definitely hurt his image so I can see why he'd be mad.

CD was the man though, I saw him perform live last summer and he fukking killed it. Performed all his hits while doing a DJ set at the same time, was dope as fkk.

He tried to crack America with that second album and it just didn’t hit. That sophomore album still had some great songs on there. If he had the right producers behind him, he would be where Drake is right now.

Warning: Video contains off beat rhythmless CACpping.


What a voice. :wow:

He has a platinum and gold album in the US.

He tours as a DJ as TS5. I've seen him in NY a few times (always sells out).

The rumor is he got caught up in "excess" while living in Miami :mjcry: but has since moved back to London with a successful comeback.

What's "excess"?

For the most part,British musicians usually were one hit wonders here in ‘Murica when he emerged .. please believe if he came out a few years ago, there’s a good chance he would be relavent now

Mel B's portrayal was waaaay worse on that show but she saw it for what it was and didn't take it seriously. :pachaha:

He just let it get to him and it didn't help that he kept cussing fans off who would come at him with that "Craaaaaig Daviiiid" shyt whenever they would see him lol.

I didn't even know he moved back to London from Miami.
