Back in the good old days when everyone was co-operative and everything was split down the middle, hang on this world never existed!!! It was all a dream. But anyway along came a man called Shaggy and I doubt that before 'It wasn't me' many of you would have heard of the old chap.

Since then he has come a long way (and some people might agree and others might not)he has done some decent tunes and is starting to get a repuation to be a bit of a prev in a way after all of this songs seem to have something to do with the 'ladies' involved in them.

But the point of this topic is what really does he do towards this great success? 'It wasn't me' sung mainly be Rik Roy and Shaggy having a small part of saying the long words of 'It wasn't me' and adding something to the chorus that none of us could understand anyway. Then there was 'Angel' which again had Rik Roy doing more then half the work.

So I am wondering if the pay was fairly split out? Was Rik Roy awarded more or less then the man who took all the credit for it? His name is the name that sold the singles and his name was the name on front of all the cd's and tapes. But what really had he done that was so special?

And from this topic it adds too the point of famous people. When acting in a film do they feel embarrassed by who they star as, and I don't mean being embarrassed by what they have to do. But being embarrassed by the person they star as, does it make them think what they could have done in their lives?

I am not saying an actor or actress is not a good job, Christ look at just how much they get paid, but think how they are donating to society? Do they donate to charities? Do they help people as part of their jobs? Do they actually do anything that mankind requires?

If you saw a Dr walking along the street would you ask for his autograph? I doubt it but these are the people that make the difference in life and that will always be the case. Thanks for reading and I'm sorry I went off topic, this wasn't carefully thought out as you might have assumed.

His last two "hits" were both achieved with ANOTHER person doing most of the vocals... so no, Shaggy is a false, misleading person who should have quit after "bombastic".
