Boombastic was stolen from a local rap artist named Allen B in Baltimore in ‘93/‘94. It was a song called “Let’s Cut The Bull” that played on WERQ 92.3 FM radio station in heavy rotation but was never released because it was difficult for a local independent artist to get a sample clearance from a major label. That sample being from Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On”. Let’s Cut The Bull was secretly given to Shaggy/Virgin Records and was flipped into what the world know as Boombastic. You never heard about this all these years because at that time they made it almost impossible for you to go after an artist for copyright infringement due to the amount of money lawyers wanted as a retainer just to look into the claim. That’s the industry and its forces!

I remember my teenagers listening to this. Now they're both parents. I'm reminiscing and this brings back lots of memories. Love your kids while their young because they grow up way too damn fast. Being a grandparent is the best though!
Looked over at my 14 year old girl. As she sits across from me in the train. On our way to Disney World. Yep. Enjoy em while they're young. I miss her already and she's right next to me.
@@jukilopteam2863 y tampoco me imaginé que me contestaras xdd, contestando tu pregunta primero, porque el video está en ingles y segundo.... pues no se, no me esperaba encontrarte jsjs
@@gaster5569 que tiene que el video este e inglés saber otro idioma debe de ser lo básico en estos tiempos aunque yo soy de otros tiempo aparte me gusta mucho tipo de música me encontraras mucho por todo youtube 👍
it’s an absolute classic that never gets old. The way the rhythm flows and Shaggy’s unique voice come together is pure magic. This song has a timeless quality that keeps it relevant no matter how many times I listen. It’s definitely a go-to track whenever I need a pick-me-up or just want to dance like nobody’s watching!!🕺🎶”
I was 16 when this song first came out and am revisiting the song because of Trolls LOL. Song is great but this video has and always will be hella boring.
@@TravelingStacker No. I'm in my very early twenties. In other words I'm Gen Z. The current generation has trash taste. Absolutely no appreciation of real rhythm and unique beats in music. You cannot convince me that Gen Z has good taste in music no matter how hard you try.
christine thomas nobody does :-P, something about romantic and fantastic, but I do not know in my opinion this even doesn't smell with romantic stuff :-D but came out great...
Escutei essa música pela primeira vez no Projeto Radial e lembro até do ano (1996)... 27 anos atrás! Os anos 90 foram inesquecíveis e foi a melhor época da minha vida! Ás vezes eu me pergunto em como o tempo passou tão rápido 😢 Nessa jornada da vida tive muitas alegrias e tristezas e a nostalgia bate forte quando lembro dessas músicas e consequentemente dos amigos de época e familia que hoje não estão mais aqui.... só ficou a saudade 😭
Then don't listen to it, stop omplaining, and this century gives you plenty of technology, just go find a style/artist/band you like and *stop fucking complaining*
melooffee thanks for the unwanted advice..... stop fucking reading complaints you imbecile ....and its complaining not omplaining... guess your technically sound century did not gift you a spell check
Bharat Raghavan I'm better than you :) If you don't want reply to your comments, then RU-vid is the wrong place ... And seriously, how old are you, why would you rant about my spelling?
melooffee heh heh touched a nerve there did we....well leaving age and spellings out .... I'm open for replies ...its just that I was so tempted to take you to the cleaners given your faulty attempt to compare technology with music....but then again I need to ask you ...how old are you really?
What a fun video to watch! I still have and preserved all 7 original imported CDs! I love your songs. And boombastic plays every day in my car until today 2021. I was able to travel to some of the most amazing places in the world thanks to Mighty 🤲🏿 Travels 🙀 Premium.
Haha my mom knew shaggy before he was famous and he put on that fake voice he always sings with to show her and she thought he would never make it 🤣 was she wrong...
Who is here in May 2024 after all these years? Really I had an dream about this song after all these year and search for this now in the middle of sleep😅😅😅😅
