A Mi Shabba - Shabba Ranks

Advantages: SHABBA!
Disadvantages: i can't understand it sometimes

...This is one of the greatest love making songs of all time. It captures the mood of Jamica and the West Indies so well. The lyric of the chorus are pure beuty: Mr Loverman SHABBA! Shabba Ranks has one of the most famous deliverys in the reggea business. You might think i am lying but this truely is a classic track everybody will remeber this in 10 years and 20 years and 30 even 50 years time. If you aren't trying to hunt out your copy of it as we speak i am truely shocked! It is a shame Shabba Ranks ruined his career with out bursts about "batty boys" as he and Ali G so nicely put it. There is no need to discriminate against anyone and Shabba Ranks did this and payed the price. He now lives off royalites of this song.... Read review

...Peas (ft. Sergio Mendez). Mas Que Nada is a piece I have often heard and would not have thought it possible to mix it together with hip-hop, yet it can be done apparently, and it has been done with style. Another low-tempo song for when you are feeling low, Usher's "Burn" is a heart-felt song about the break up of a relationship and how they should "let it burn". The R&B superstar sings this track beautifully. Keeping the low-tempo going is Alicia Keys with "Fallin'". This song is another thoughtful R&B number and Alicia Keys' vocals do the song justice. I still enjoy listening to this song, having heard it many a time before. The first time I heard the next song was on a ringtone. "Mr Loverman", by Shabba Ranks and Chevelle Franklyn involves a catchy chorus by Chevelle followed by verses of rhythmic 'rapping' by Shabba. Even though... Read review
