He was so ugly to me but I used to love this song to death. Didn't Shaggy cop his "they call me mr. lover" line?


SHABBA!!! I don't know what the hell he's saying really.

ugly sexy

Mr Ugly Man?

From what I understand, he is back in Jamaica.

GAY PEOPLE

Didn't he get kicked out of Jamaica for being super homophobic?

This is MY jam!!!

Wait...what? He got kicked out of Jamaica? How does one get kicked out of their place of birth? Man what did I miss?

Shabba morphed into Lil' Wayne!!!!!

^ oh that pic is AWFUL!!!

I heard and I don't know if this is true that Shabba's EXTREMELY anti-gay views got him kicked of Jamaica

I'd smash weezy but Shabba would have to pay, I'd have to be drugged and blindfolded...and I'd have have my memory erased.

Mr Ugly Man is getting nowhere near me

I asked my cousin the same thing about a yr. ago. She said more attractive Reggae artists came along..lol. I dont care if he is ugly or not, his songs were the sh*t. I have like 5 one my phone

Didn't he only have one hit?

Christ, that takes me back to being 16 working in a clothes store on saturday's when the radio would repeat it and all top20 hits every hour. Can't bring myself to listen to it again.

Trust me Jamaica doesnt have a problem with his Anti-Gay views.... If they could they would probally give him a trophy for his views

How long can artists capitalize on bragadocio? It's pretty one dimensional.

New egos come along to replace the old.

Mr. Shabba simply don't rank no mo.

Jamaica is KNOWN for its homophobia.

Why are they so homophobic?

scriptgirl said:

I don't know.

I just searched Wikipedia and discovered that Queen Elizabeth II is also Queen of Jamaica - I never knew.

I wonder what will happen to all these countries in the Anglosphere, when she dies? They'll probably all become republics, which is a shame.

scriptgirl said:

Actually, Shabba was booed out of the UK.

banks said:

Now that's a damn shame for you to say that!

he died hopefully.

scriptgirl said:

Lady Saw isn't homophobia.
