Nah Super Cat is from the same class as Ninjaman, Papa San, Major Worries, Chaka Demus and Cutty Ranks. They all ruled the mid 80s to late 80s until Shabba Ranks became a global icon. From 1992 on Buju was the king of Dancehall and then Beenie Man vs Bounty Killer.
Just because Jamaica dont see these veteran artists dont mean their career flop. They are still fully booked for shows all over the globe. Jamaica really has nothing to offer these veteran artist .
@@JamaicanMillionaire "Dance ayard before you dance abroad." Jamaica is the best place for them to be as it's where there a product of and that's home! Jamaica keeps these artist grounded with a healthy and nourishing environment of nature unlike foreign. Back in the days It was when artist go overseas, is when they get introduced to all form and sort of evil and wickedness due to the foreign influence. All the artist from Super Cat's erra fell into drugs overseas with influence from their so called white friends.
@@ReggaeAppreciationSocietyIf you are going to speak on the Jamaican culture , at least understand and respect it . To say supercat's dad 'was Indian and mom Jamaican 'is so disrespectful and just shows how ignorant you are to the Jamaican culture. Cockburn pen was an settlement for Indians due to its proximity to the ocean. Full time Africans like yourself respect what Jamaica is and stop trying to over "Africanize" us.We are more than descendants of slaves👍
From the number one community! his mum is black his father is Indian but both Jamaican this younger brother Junior cat is also very talented and underrated 2 of my favourite artists have the best ever do it real don dada
The eighties saw the largest group of really great djs and sound systems. Dancehall greatest moments ran like from 1979 peaked in 1990 and declined about 1999 .
Supercat is the reggae dancehall goat 🐐. The Wild Apache faith is written and sealed in the music fraternity of many genres. They should make a movie of this DJ 🎬 . Don't forget the younger Brother Junior Cat is just as talented as the senior.
Super Cat was a legend round my way, glad he's finding his feet again. Mental health issues can affect anybody, especially when people close to you pass on.
Seen this vid floating about. Now I know he might be a reggae legend and all that malarky but this geezer..I'll keep my language sweet cause of the young lad with this channel...is one horrible git. I knew this man when he used to march around in london way back very negative and loud mouthed who always wanted problems, and still bloody doing it to this day and aint learned zilch since. Won't take nothing away musically away but we did not get along at all and neither did alot of lads back then. This mental health stuff well there's a lot of ppl who croaked it around him so that energy is a bit dodgy to me
Super Cat is one of the greatest, his music is still so good now, even all the old tracks. I listened to his music from since I was a child living in Trinidad. Marcia Griffiths the best female reggae singer. And Junior Cat is a Don Dadda too. Respect, wicked video. Thanks to JAH Glory Glory ❤💛💚
Reggae has evolved tremendously from its origins, starting wit hSka and roots rock reggae, in the '60s, to "rockers" in the '70s. That period from the '70s that even spawned movies like "Rockers" and "Smile Orange" and was quintessential to the promotion of reggae around the world but, sadly, seems to be a forgotten decade. There are SO MANY artists that paved the way for "Dancehall" it's really mind-boggling. When it comes to "Dancehall" though, Super Cat is definitely my favourite. To me, his style and his lyrics just always stood out above the rest of the Dancehall artists and to this day, "Ghetto Red Hot" and his collaboration with Kriss Kross, "Alight" are still bangers.
The baddest DJ in Dancehall since the beginning. Things he spoke about in the music was ahead of it's time and these issues are still on the rice. Good research you done brother
He's the first dance hall artist that I ever heard get gangster with it in a hip-hop wait get a red hot what's amazing and still one of my favorite releases from him and this the fact that he was using a more hip-hop and blue with the speak person's what most dance hall artists were doing at that time it was hard
i would like to know more about the equipment they used to make sound systems. are there still sound systems now? how about a history of sound systems?
When Shaun Paul came out I was initially convinced that it was Super Cat and was actually surprised when I found out it was another new cat on the scene. (Excuse the Pun)
Super cat will aways be my artist I use to sing his songs an clash other youth in class,the first time I hear his voice on the radio I know I want to become an artist....big up super cat everytime 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for this chronology, my friend. You did it better than anyone else so far. That was professional journalism. I'm a new subscriber. It is amazing what came out of Jamaica in that one decade. The Rocking 90's. I was in Ghana last year. Taximan don't stop play reggae.
Thanks again RAS. I was eating Ital cheese toast when my chesta old landlady vented on me. I yelled mon 😅 don't interrupt when I'm hearing the reasonings of me RAS bredrin. Cyant Ras with I. Have a good morning everyone ❤️💛💚🤙
@ReggaeAppreciationSociety I going jam sinead O'Connor's Downpressor Man now 😇🤙. I stomped a downpressor woman this morning, not physically by violence of course lol but by my altruistic voice and powerful deeds. Tired of finding work up north. I'll make everyone happiest when I return down south ✌️I know
great video, thats crazy he signed to the neptunes but never recorded :( When Don Dada came out i was DJing a lot and i was spinning many of those cuts
Cat lived in Baldwin down the street from me. Years ago we spoke and he let me know things were not good. My brother is a well known DJ and I told him if he need support my yard is always open.
If hes not the best lyricist ever, hes Top 3. SuperCat is to Sean Paul as Run (Run DMC) is to LL Cool J. Both Sean & LL blatantly imitated their idols, down to voice & cadence. And used it to rise to greatness

Supercat truly ruled the dancehall scene in the 90's
A real legend 💪
Him and Shabba were the Top Shottas
In the 90's? You sure? From 90 to 99? Again are you sure? It's time to pull them styles out again and hot up d dance.
He had the first 3-4 years until Beanie dropped that gurls dem sugah

Facts
True
I remember when he dropped Mud Up. Played that on my Walkman on my way to college every day. Still play it now 👊🏾
Jah Bless! Thanks for this trip down memory lane!
i would like to know more about the equipment they used to make sound systems. are there still sound systems now? how about a history of sound systems?
Plenty soundsystems are out there. Loads of documentaries too
Yes! I’ve been to there many times. The Sound and SYSTEMS are very alive.
Supercat I love his music and sound.
I booked Super Cat to play Boomtown in 2019 and he killed it, great show!
His father is indo-Jamaican. His mother is Afro-Jamaican ‘Out of many people one’ 🇯🇲
It's not just di voice man 😅Di don is just Superbly talented 🖤⚠️#Wildapache
Supa Cat was and still is definitely one of the Best back in the day. He definitely had that Swag. He still got it.
Early b was responsible for super cats career
Great minidoc again! ❤

I grew up in South Miami back in the mid 80's to mid 90s. I was heavy in the dancehall scene. I rememver all this. Went to many sound clashes .

Stay safe. You will be back.
The wild Apache 🇯🇲 si boops deh

You didn't mention his main mentor.. Early B
First time I ever heard Biggie was on a SuperCat song. Dolly My Baby. I already was a fan of the Don Dada!❤❤❤❤❤❤
thanks for the history! this guy's more thoughtful lyrics sound super contemporary in today's crazy times
Great video! Thank you. Love the Naija accent instead of some AI voice!
Proper!
Respek from overseas. Supa Cat is the Don Dada.
Dem no worry we!! From a loving long term fan.
Can't wait to hear his new music again!
Super Cat and Early B used to dj King Majesty the undefeated champion sound💥💥💥💥💥

Just found your channel and subscribed
Blessings ✌️ Welcome to R.A.S ❤️💛💚

Thank you for this. I thought the collab with Puffy did Supa Cat in. I was very wrong.
My favorite Caribbean artist
The Wild Apache…one of my favorite dancehall artists.
All his remixes slapped
"I'm not sure anymore more. Who is knocking at my door" 🎵🎼💿
His dancer’s were 🔥
Big up!!! 💚
He has relocated to Georgia and living his best life

Super cat music is RAW AS HARD AS EVER
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💜💜💜💜💜 awesome tribute

Excellent.
His streamed verzuz concert with KRS-1 & Big Daddy Kane in 2021 was absolute 🔥

Hey is a true veteran always holding is own he was the very first artis that I see whereing a big gold chain at that time up Don da da
Super Cat doesn't have record a single song again. He's already built his castle.
Big up all the Coolie man dem
Sean Paul took his flow and style and ran with it.. simple
He sure did.
But Sean Da Paul is nice also.
But respect to the Don Dadda
Cat lived in Baldwin down the street from me. Years ago we spoke and he let me know things were not good. My brother is a well known DJ and I told him if he need support my yard is always open.
Long Island NY?
Blessed Love,, Rastafari,, 🇱🇨👊🏼🇯🇲👍🏼♥️🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯☝🏻
Blessings ✌️
I had that Cabin Stabbin album.
What do you mean what happened to him he's freaking 50 something years old now. Time to chill and relax and take it easy.
My Mentor🔥🔥🔥🔥
God bless him… love him ❤️❤️❤️
When I first heard Sean Paul I thought it was Super Cat. Voice almost identical.
Sean Paul is Super Cat...don dada for a reason...pay those respects...☝🏾😎💯🔥
If hes not the best lyricist ever, hes Top 3. SuperCat is to Sean Paul as Run (Run DMC) is to LL Cool J.
Both Sean & LL blatantly imitated their idols, down to voice & cadence.
And used it to rise to greatness
The cat even taught me world history.
Respect 4 dat. Nuff. Big up the super....
Always liked Cat, I had the pleasure of being in his ghetto red hot video. He was very nice and respectful to Us ladies.
That damned little island has consistently punched waaaay above it's weight.
Wow I hope you heard that the original Bobby digital produced super cats first album wrapped around your heads the original Bobby digital amazing
REAL DEAL DON DADDA LEGEND !
heyy can u tell us what happened to BILLY BOYO please ?
Great suggestion. Will work on it
Super Cat looks like he could be Spragga Pops😂😂😂
