If he was born there who cares

1. That is not what he says at all.

2. You're not supposed to use your regular speaking voice on the track. Beenie Man, Bounty Killa, Vegas, none of them do it.

Bounty and Beene still sound the same when they speak..

 

[Taadow]

B-b-b-but...they even had him on CAMERA!

I remember him saying 11 people who worked on that album were able to own their own homes just from “It Wasn’t Me” alone. Shaggy is a legend.

u didnt know that...something wrong with u....

I seen him in several interviews speaking without the accent. I just assumed he was ... bi lingual if that makes sense? And just used the accent when speaking with native speakers or making music.

He's like most Jamaican's who play the game here. He speaks one way to the system and one way to his people. It's code switching basically.

That's dope

One hit changing the quality of life for ppl contributing on the album.

One thing that tells us is that Diddy wasn't involved

Sherry Carter was so goddamn fine

 

[Tribal Outkast]

I never saw this lol. They were doing their thing for a minute. Was a big fan

 

[TEH]

Lies

He says the tone of voice wasn’t real not the accent.

As a listener of reggae I know he has songs without that gravelly voice.
