The Jamaican-born, New York-raised DJ/entertainer Shaggy is one of the most successful crossover artists of our time. His patented mix of ragga/dancehall, hip-hop, and R&B made his songs "Mr. Lover Lover" and "Boombastic" into global hits. Hotshot Ultramix features snappy remixes of tracks from the multiplatinum release Hotshot by several leading mixmasters, including Sting International, J.C. Moreno, Punch, Gordon Dukes, Christopher "Longman Productions" Birch, and Tony "CD" Kelly. "Special Request (Rough Cut)" swings with boom-box beats that would be at home in Kingston and Queens. The best remixes are the jeep-booming renditions of "Chica Bonita (Players Mix)," "It Wasn't Me," and the rough-cut demo "Special Request" with Ricardo "Rik Rok." The Michael Jackson-sampled "Dance & Shout (Dancehall Mix)" swings with another MC named Pee Wee. The soulfully syncopated "Too Hot to Handle" with vocalist Robin is one of three new releases, and a live version of "Angel" with Rayvon shows why Shaggy was named Billboard Male Artist of the Year in 2001. For Shaggy, the hits just keep coming. --Eugene Holley Jr.

4.0 out of 5 stars HOT CD!!, February 13, 2002

By	tyler - See all my reviews

This CD is awesome. It features 9 remixes of songs on Shaggy's "HotShot" plus 3 new songs "Too Hot To Handle", "Why You Mad At Me", "Special Request". It also has a live version of Shaggy's #1 Hit "Angel". The standout remixes on the album are: "Freaky Girl (Strip Mix)", "Chica Bonita (Players Mix)" which is 10x better than the original, and "Hope (Dukes Mix)". The 3 new songs are HOT!!! Especially "Too Hot To Handle".
Overall, this album is wicked and I reccomend it to all Shaggy fans!!
