Robbie said on making the 17 spot on Rolling Stone's greatest bass players of all time:

"No matter how much people hail Sly and Robbie as the legends, and despite two Grammy wins and 11 nominations, we never ever feel like anything we get in life, we must get it. There have been a lot of sleepless nights and 'eatless' nights, too. Nuff time we go to bed hungry, so we remember these things and take stock. There are so many other great bassists out there who they could have chosen, and yet they chose me, and I am grateful," Robbie Shakespeare told The Gleaner.
