==Career==
===1990s===
Shaggy decided to pursue his music career and his first hit in 1993, "[[Oh Carolina]]", was a [[dancehall]] re-make of a [[ska]] hit by the [[Folkes Brothers]], which appeared in the film ''[[Sliver (film)|Sliver]]''.<ref name="huey" /> The same year, Shaggy appeared on [[Kenny Dope]]'s hip hop album ''The Unreleased Project''. He worked together with producers such as [[Shaun Pizzonia|Sting International]], Don One, Lloyd 'Spiderman' Campbell, Robert Livingston and [[Frankie Cutlass]] on the Maxi-Single title "Nice and Lovely" Hip Hop Remix. He had further big hits, including "[[Boombastic (song)|Boombastic]]" in 1995,<ref name="huey"/> the theme tune of a popular [[Levi Strauss & Co.|Levi's]] commercial, and sang with [[Maxi Priest]] on his Top 20 hit from 1996, "[[That Girl (Maxi Priest song)|That Girl]]".<ref name=PoemHunter>{{cite web|title=Shaggy – Biography of Shaggy|url=http://www.poemhunter.com/lyrics/shaggy/biography/|website=PoemHunter.com|access-date=November 3, 2012|date=November 3, 2012}}</ref>
===''Hot Shot'' (2000)===
In 1999, Shaggy was dropped by [[Virgin Records|Virgin]], who felt he was unlikely to release another song as successful as 1995's "Boombastic".<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNqgWvHa3LQ "The Story of 'It Wasn't Me' by Shaggy"]. ''Vice'', July 10, 2020, via YouTube.</ref> He would sign with [[MCA Records]] to release the album ''[[Hot Shot (Shaggy album)|Hot Shot]]'', the following year. The album featured the smash hit singles "[[It Wasn't Me]]" and "[[Angel (Shaggy song)|Angel]]", the latter of which was built around two song samples – [[Chip Taylor]]'s song "[[Angel of the Morning]]" (which released by [[Merrilee Rush]] in 1968 and covered in 1981 by [[Juice Newton]]), and The [[Steve Miller Band]]'s 1973 hit "[[The Joker (Steve Miller Band song)|The Joker]]". Both songs topped the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] and saw similar success worldwide, reaching number one in the [[UK Singles Chart|UK]], [[Irish Singles Chart|Ireland]], [[Scottish Singles and Albums Charts|Scotland]] and [[Syndicat National de l'Édition Phonographique|France]], among others.<ref name="huey"/> Female artist Lady Saw (aka Marion Hall) did an [[Answer song|answer record]] to ''It Wasn't Me'' ("Son of a Bit@h") that also saw chart action. ''Hot Shot'' debuted at number one on the [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]], and would go on to be certified 8x [[Platinum certification|platinum]] by the [[Recording Industry Association of America]] (RIAA), as well as achieving platinum or multi-platinum status in a number of other countries, and ranking as the second most successful album of 2001 on the [[Billboard Year-End|''Billboard'' Year-End]] charts.
In 2001 Shaggy was selected to perform with [[Rayvon]] and [[Rikrok]] at [[Michael Jackson: 30th Anniversary Special|Michael Jackson's 30th anniversary]], performing the songs "Angel" and "It Wasn't Me" from ''Hot Shot''.
=== Further releases (2002–2009) ===
Over the course of his next two albums, Shaggy saw his popularity decline in the United States. In October 2002, Shaggy released his second album for MCA, ''[[Lucky Day (Shaggy album)|Lucky Day]]''.
