My mom recorded this on her VCR (VHS Tape) when this was on TV and gave it to me. She said You GOT to see this guy. I saved the video and now years later I was just going thru old cassettes and VHS tapes to transfer them to the computer and came across this great performance. I came on here to make sure it was on TH-cam before I threw out the tape.
Mike used to do this at our office in front the whole company in morning meetings about 10 years ago. This and the karma chameleon. I don't think I ever laughed so hard. Send my regards to Mike and thanks for posting!
BooRollTide4Eva He actually got three big pops. When he first hit Shaggy's voice, then when he began singing, then when he hit Shaggy's flow. Dude nailed it for real.
This was such a great TV moment, been looking for it online forever and so surprised it's so hard to find. Thanks so much for uploading this! Audio problems or not, so glad to see it again.
Thanks for the upload I too have been looking for this for years now I can share it with others . I think I just laughed just as hard as the first time I saw it in 2001. Priceless
omg!! god bless you!! i've been looking for this video since i first saw it thanksgiving weekend in new york. i talk to my friends and family about it all the time. i had to see it one more time. i've been searching this clip for years. i even ask the apollo if i could by the taping. so amazing. thank you
Thank you very much for uploading. I don't remember many acts from that long ago at the Apollo, but this guy was very unique and knew how to break it down and could impersonate shaggy really good, but I remember him winning for the 2nd week in a row, and that is the only song he did, and it got old after awhile, but he was a cool brotha!
@archetype0 the audio isn't quality but mike ford sure is. sorry...its from a videotape converted to dvd. i'm just a sister who taped her bro old school style about 9 years ago before i even owned a dvd player.
@erinford9 OMG you're his sister?! You should totally get him to do an update video after all these years and say hi! :-) I'm sure people would love to see him again! He definitely was memorable on Apollo!
Dude was lucky to do this in a time without smartphones and the internet. Otherwise no one would‘ve reacted that way, when he did it a second, let alone a third time. It would have been all over the Internet after his first performance.
OMG lol Anointed S was on the show lol thats awesome... for those that don't know who that is check out Anointed S on youtube. And thans much for uploading this video
LoL OHH my thank-you so much i seen this show on the frist night he won.It was also kds night and the was this young man ohh how CUTE maybe 7,8, He sand STAND by Donnie McLurkin wouldnt believe it thank u yes the audio is a lil distorsted but it so nice to seen it agan
i had the most fun w/this the night it came on i vcr'd it LoL yep and played to over and over agan. i believe the same night this came on it was kids night @ the appolo.the was this young man age ? 7 at the most he was in a top hat and a black suit he sang STAND by donnie mcclurkin dos anyone remember this and if so where can i view it if not thanks bunches as always God Bless
@erinford9 For people who don't know him or weren't there, it's difficult to tell if he's good or not. It's like having the only copy of the best book ever written, but all the pages are covered in coffee stains and diarrhea. I'm just helping a sistah out :)

If you can make the Apollo crowd rock like that you know you brought it...
Mi Ri na bro it was like a black culture day there
My mom recorded this on her VCR (VHS Tape) when this was on TV and gave it to me. She said You GOT to see this guy.

This guy will bring our races together
This man doesn’t pass the vibe check. He IS the vibe check.

this guy needs to an update
Just b/c it's an old song doesn't mean it's bad. I've been listening to Shaggy all day and I'm 15!
Kai Rusin No they mean an update on where hes at nowadays.
Bring back Dutch Oven!
HOW LONG CAN YOU KEEP YOUR HEAD UNDER THE COVERS?
LMFAO MEMORIES
don't judge a book by its cover
9:00 that guy with the headband is not amused..!!! lollololol
he doesn't appreciate good music
He was. The Black Dynamite way
I wonder how Mike's doing? Also saw him do his act on "30 Seconds to Fame"; that's how I've heard of him.
Anthony LoGatto he is apparently dead because the guy at 9:00 with the headband shot him for trying to be black
Saw him yesterday

i just texted him and gave him your info.
Erin Ford is this guy still around? I came across his videos awhile back and truly enjoyed his work!
Why would you even post this I can't make out a thing
I know, he was awesome.
As I said on another vid, this is his world, we just help him occupy it.
I remember when I first saw this, and I said WTF! But he shut me up!
I just met mike ford he came to my class room
@erinford9 For people who don't know him or weren't there, it's difficult to tell if he's good or not. It's like having the only copy of the best book ever written, but all the pages are covered in coffee stains and diarrhea. I'm just helping a sistah out :)

Everyone!
I have a link to a video with better audio!
/watch?v=b3dmAo4HXLs&feature=watch_response
Possibly the worst audio quality of any TH-cam video ever.
Especially when there’s other versions of it on TH-cam with much better quality audio
This was such a great TV moment, been looking for it online forever and so surprised it's so hard to find. Thanks so much for uploading this! Audio problems or not, so glad to see it again.
