Shaggy is best remembered for his vehement denial of any and all adultery charges levelled at him, despite the evidence pointing to the contrary. You’d think in light of that he might have a career in politics, but it seems he is more concerned with tackling the evil that is ISIS.
Orville Burrell (his birth name, we’ll forgive him for the switch then) is definitely more of a lover than a fighter, but he recently sat down for a lengthy interview with the Miami New Times and it seems he isn’t all that enamoured with the terrorist organisation. Below are those exchanges:
New Times: One of your most recent singles is subtly named “Go Fuck Yourself.” Is there anyone you want to tell to go fuck themselves?
Shaggy: ISIS can go fuck themselves. That’s some crazy shit what they’re doing. It’s horrible, man. I can’t see… I don’t get that much hate. I just don’t get that level of evil. I can’t understand it.You might need [a bodyguard] after these ISIS comments.
Yeah, man, but listen. I get someone having a cause. I get somebody fighting for their cause. And I get that people struggle; I get that they suffer. But how does that justify killing your brother? Taking their heads off and filming it… That’s a different level of evil right there…There’re two thing you want to do when you listen to reggae: You get somebody pregnant, or you’re fucking high. High people don’t want to kill nothing; they want to love. They need to bag some Jamaican weed and distribute it amongst ISIS. I guarantee there won’t be any more wars out there…
A couple of kilos is all they need then…
Man, it’ll put them in a vibe. And throw some Bob Marley up in there and there’ll be peace.Some of these world leaders need to be stoners though, really.
I feel like those involved with ISIS aren’t inclined to spark up a fatty and engage in a spot of self-reflectance. Perhaps the best bet then is an aerial drop of brownies with a little extra Shaggy flavour thrown into the mix.
It might not result in world peace but they might be less inclined to murder innocent people and more inclined to lounge on the couch and watch reruns of Family Guy.
