Okay so I stayed up all night because I realized that It Wasn’t Me isn’t really a Shaggy song. He’s barely in it. The song is 4 minutes long and about 50 seconds of that is Shaggy time. Hell he doesn’t even appear in THE LAST HALF OF THE SONG. 75 percent of the song is song by some guy named Rikrok SO WHY THE FUCK ISN’T THE SONG CREDITED TO HIM? And by the way while we’re on the subject of Rikrok WHO THE FUCK IS RIKROK? There’s next to no information about him online. From what I can gather he wrote for Shaggy but there’s like nothing else about him. He barely released anything else. One album in 2008 according to Amazon or 2016 according to Wikipedia but he never seems to have given any interviews to promote it or anything. Who the hell is this guy that sang one of the biggest songs of the 00s completely anonymously and then JUST FUCKING DISAPPEARED? He has a Twitter and Facebook but he hasn’t updated them in years and no one followed them anyway. Why did this guy let Shaggy take all the credit? Fucking Hsaggy I swear to god. This guy, this fucking guy, releases a song under his name that isn’t even by him. HE’S THE ONE FEATURING ON IT! And this ducking has the balls to called the song IT WASN’T ME. It literally wasn’t him. It’s not his song and none of us ever questioned it.

Oh shit
He wrote and produced the track, and the other guy does some vocals. Stupid American poptimist thinking "durr if he sing on song then that all song is". Composition is the critical contribution to any piece of music ever, not who plays each instrument.
>It Wasn't Him
The fucked up part is that isn't even the real Shaggy
THAT’S THE THING FUCKING RIKROK APSO WROTE THE SONG
Why the fuck haven't I ever heard of RikRok before?

#justice4RikRok
According to the archive this is the third time rikrok has been mentioned on Yas Forums compared to about 1000 mentions of It Wasn’t Me
>It literally wasn’t him
>dear 4channel, today i listened to pop music for the first time, okay so
See! SEE THIS IS WHAT I’M SAYING! How did this guy write and perform a number one hit (an absolute monster hit by the way) COMPLETELY ANONYMOUSLY?
>it wasn't him
Holy shit it LITERALLY wasn't him.
I completely forgot about Rikrok. You have me curious now, OP. I wonder what happened to Rikrok. Who was this guy? What's he doing now?
>It Wasn’t Me
he tried to warn us but we didnt listen
I know dude. I haven’t slept all night because I’ve been trying to find relevant RikRok info but there’s like none.
>It literally wasn’t him
you caught him red handed
I'm sure you've already found this. But RYM says that Rikrok was featured on a song from Shaggy's 2007 album. That seems to be the last sign of him, other than his apparent 2016 album which I kind of doubt.
This album from 2008 is definitely from him. Absolutely the same singer as "It Wasn't Me." I found this on iTunes.
As for what happened to this dude, I have no idea.
Yeah I saw the singles. Very infrequent and with seemingly no promotion. Like it was four year between It Wasn’t Me and his next single. How did he not try to to follow that monster hit up immediately? I found like a two paragraph profile in I think Entertainment Weekly about him from when It Wasn’t Me was number 1 that says he would be releasing his debut album soon but that album didn’t come out for AT LEAST 8 years and maybe as many as 16 years.
So the question is why aren’t there like interviews with him or something to promote it? It’s like he doesn’t want people to hear it? Rikrok is a mystery. I mean the song is told from his point of view but no one seems to notice him even though there is very minimal Shaggy in the song.
>Get free ringtones, lyrics, photos and more at RikRokMusic.com
lmao
Also that website seems to lead nowhere now.
This is what corona lockdown does to people.
I can already tell RikRok is the new /x/ gas station seeds meme of Spring 2020
Yeah. Dead site. His dead social media also has links to rikrok.net which also leads nowhere. RikRok is a fucking ghost
Yep. Found a Twitter called @RicardoDucent which seems to be his real name. No activity at all - no tweets or likes. He only follows Shaggy, Justin Bieber, and Selena Gozez. Weird.
there’s a rikrok reddit page with one member and one post from a year ago
did rikrok do this himself?
Snoop probably has him taken care of so he doesn’t squeal
Do you think Shaggy follows rikrok back?
>As for what happened to this dude, I have no idea.
he knew too much
>The Virgin Rikrok vs. The Chad Shaggy
Ricardo is doing just fine in my basement
So he doesn’t squeal about what? SO HE DOESN’T SQUEAL ABOUT WHAT? I NEED TO KNOW DUDE!
Maybe he wanted to stay as some behind the scenes songwriter dude and really values his privacy
another fun fact is that the baha men formed in like 1977 lol it took them 25 years to write one shitty song as their hit
Why release more singles and album then?
*Selena Gomez
Now that's super weird. The account that posted the meme isn't very active, but was active pretty recently. Also, the account was pretty much only active in the "r/virginvschad" community. This account is also responsible for creating the "r/rikrok" subreddit
Was this you, OP? Are you the lone RikRok fan?
Even if you are, it doesn't explain what happened to this dude though.
They didn’t write it as it is a cover also how are the Baha Men relevant
Same way Shaggy is relevant rofl
>Was this you, OP? Are you the lone RikRok fan?
Dude I found out about RikRok like 8 hours ago. I know as much as you do.
He does not lmao. At least not from his official account,
Someone with a reddit account needs to ask that guy what he knows and about rikrok and what he’s hiding
Based Shaggy
I can do it. But it could take some time for him to respond. Maybe longer than this thread will last because I like to get drunk and sleep until 4PM in my quarantine.
But what should I ask him?
op are you fuckin 12 or somethin why give a shit about shaggy now unless u never lived through that overplayed bullshit
underage banned
