It Wasn't Me - Shaggy

Ойын-сауық

When Shaggy recorded his Hot Shot album, containing “It Wasn’t Me” and “Angel”, the label dismissed it as a throw-away album with “no hits”. “It Wasn’t Me” wasn’t even released as a single. But a series of happy accidents, some illegal downloading, and sheer determination, propelled “It Wasn’t Me” to become one of the first viral crossover hits. VICE met up with Shaggy on the 20th anniversary of Hot Shot which coincides with the release of his brand new Hot Shot 2020 album.

    @Chris Townsend... You are the missing link. If you still have Napster On an old phone... You can find out who uploaded This album by shaggy. You can write a list of every single person that uploaded that album. And you can narrow it down to find the one person that that DJ from Hawaii downloaded it from. You can find the missing link to this story. If you decide to accept the challenge.

    My suspicion ... If your label wont put your album out (and you are sitting on top of studio copies ) ... you do it yourself. Because at that point you have NOTHING to lose. You'd NEVER be able to admit it publicly because the label can then turn around and sue you for estimated loss of early sales before they have to pay you anything at all. I think they ALL know how.who uploaded it .... they just can't ever admit it.
