Check out live in Chiemsee. Only 16:44 😡 Dont know if that was his whole set or not. Dailymotion has a 19:04 version I'd say that was his best live performance.🔥
Actually Shakespeare invented the word "swag " around ~1601, and while The Mouse is legendary with his impeccable style, I'm not sure he predates the 17th century.
Swagger is actually a very old word and was used more in 1700s then equivalent words but I agree with your point and we appreciate Eek-a-mouse the best.
Truly a master of linguistics...a study unto his own self..gifted...only a remarkabled gifted ear could produce such splendid tales of broken English and patwoi...so much that it would take a remarkable ear to discern and enjoi..hats off!! Truly the bes!
Let me ask you this, are Nigerian and Jamaican cultures similar? I have a coworker who is Nigerian but I always thought he was Jamaican because of the way he speaks. Regardless, much respect and love for both countries, I’d love to visit both
@@helloimclaudio yes very similar. A lot of Jamaicans were taken from the coast of Nigeria and Ghana, so a lot of the culture and mannerisms are siimilar. Some words used in Jamaican patois are from Nigerian languages, like 'unu', which is an Igbo word referring to 'you people', which also means the same in patois. In Nigeria we grew up listening to a lot of reggae music.
Maaaan" I Love Eek's Joints Bro!!! I'm From San Diego County & Seen Eek A Mouse Like Five Times... It's Been Many Years Since I've Been To Any Reggae Events, But My Love For The Very Best Musical Genre Will Never DIE!!! Reggae Music Has Been A Big Part Of My Life Since I Was 13yrs Old, I'm Now 45 & Have Only Gained More Understanding & Deep Love For The Music Of My Soul🙏🏾🎶 ✌🏾 PEACE & POSITIVITY ✊🏾
The reason why the crowd is so quite is because they are listening word for word of the harsh reality of growing up poor in the ghetto slums of Jamaica.
The mouse can sing ☺️ Had all his vinyl in the 80's/90's... Maybe I'm just old but BOO most modern music BOO lol,,,Peace and love to all reading my comment ✌️.

If I could go back in time to see this performance.. I would've been whiling out! Everyone would be like yo.. that white man is crazy. Nah!! Y'all crazy for not whiling out to some OG dope eek a mouse..
"Many a man has tried and many a man has failed to replicate Eek a Mouse" Keep trying Brothers,,,keep trying ,, and good luck!!" "Biddy Dong Dong Biddy Dong Dong"

Me the biggest eminem fan ever who loves Real music
Still the best live performance I've seen on TH-cam.
Check out live in Chiemsee. Only 16:44 😡 Dont know if that was his whole set or not. Dailymotion has a 19:04 version
I'd say that was his best live performance.🔥
Yellowman and Eek a Mouse had the most swag out of all the DJ’s!!!
“Eek a mouse dont dj ya kno” “eek a mouse sing” in his own words bro...
Eek a mouse ah sing
Rasss!
2021 and still appreciating the flow and beat!!!🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
2022 here!
Eeka in 2022 still fire

Cool Niger's!!!😌🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🇯🇲
Swag before the word was invented.
Owen Contractors alot of people copied eek a mouse. doesnt get enough credit in my eyes.
Actually Shakespeare invented the word "swag " around ~1601, and while The Mouse is legendary with his impeccable style, I'm not sure he predates the 17th century.
Swagger - dates back to the day Eric Cantona was born
Swagger is actually a very old word and was used more in 1700s then equivalent words but I agree with your point and we appreciate Eek-a-mouse the best.
Reggae was class and rap never can touch it
In 2024 and 4ever!❤❤❤
A Jamaican legend right here
Really & Truly
This Eek-a-Mouse right hey, had de crowd focused on his words, every person there for the most part can identify with every word. 🔊🎼🎵🎶🎵🎶🎼🔊🎤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤🖤💚🙏🏾
Waaaaay ahead of his time. If he came out now he would rule the music world.
I doubt it, the new generation are idiots that are blind to the music of the drum, they dont acknowledge music with true substance
Don’t confuse my comment with hate though, I agree with you that this is incredible music
Absolute legend and pioneer. A truly one of a kind artist.
Никто не смог его прейзойти в этом уникальном стиле!!!🙂↔️🙂↕️😌🎷🎺🇯🇲🦁🇯🇲🎺🎷
Truly a master of linguistics...a study unto his own self..gifted...only a remarkabled gifted ear could produce such splendid tales of broken English and patwoi...so much that it would take a remarkable ear to discern and enjoi..hats off!! Truly the bes!
Saw him a couple of times many years ago at the Bob Marley Festival here in San Diego. He was amazing on stage ...
San Diego loves Eek-A-Mouse 🙌🏽
My 16th birthday, 85 North London Islington, whith Hawkwind and laser show
Is that where/when he connected with P.O.D?
Fumei um travessão agora e vim escutar essa música... Se é louco, estraquinou minha mente, tô aqui baquiado...........
Classic!!! Watched this on repeat growing up in Nigeria in the 1980s.
While eating Fufu and goat stew.

This song is so powerful. Makes my heart skip a beat when he talks about his dead bro
I love the one nerdy white dude playing guitar onstage hahah
Man stringing up the sound tho 😂
That guy's name is Andy Bassford. He's got some great stories of playing with Horace Andy and others back in the day on youtube.
Hes a G
He’s a legend
Probably the only white guy at the gig. Just as my mate Ted Cullen played bass for Lee Scratch Perry. He was generally the only white at the gigs.
Real Boss Swag level on stage. Only Eek A Mouse could swag and talk real like that. Bless up.
hellll fuckin yeaaaaaaaaaa. Truly unique, like many of his Jamaican counterparts at the time such as Yellowman
Awesome roots dred mon style. Took me back to my youth in Bed-Sty....like magic. Respect.
Done know
Here I am again.. can't ever pass this video up.
Ive been watching this video since 2010 I feel you brother this live version it fyah
@@crunkaholic81 I'm back lol
This video makes me want to visit Jamaica , it’s on my bucket list 🇯🇲
@@helloimclaudio hello again
@@helloimclaudio you'd have to stay on the resorts if you go to JamRock.

Very great we love u eek a mouse greets from Amsterdam
Eeka Mouse, dem times deh, de mouse was a real story teller......little rhyming, straight wuh guh down in ah de ghetto.

The mouse stil great today 63 years beng deng deng love it
Obrigado ritmo reggae pôr vir a existência..

This crown is like their at the cinema watching a movie
they are probably all stoned as fook finding it hard to react to the long legged man on stage in an army uniform.
Saw him in Cali once! Magnificent~ :D
I had some B&W speakers in that time. They were made for Eek.
2560 Janae Shoal
Just met him in the street in Rotterdam......🇳🇱 bing bing whaoooii🤩
This is the first version of song "Assassinator", who came after year 1983.
Pesaaaado 2024 aqui ainda nessa pedra
They are witnessing greatness
Lol that is the calmest crowd ever!
Ritmo novo na época,todos abismados vendo.
because his words were very serious
Original rude boy! Original Adam, The Lord defend it!!!!!
Até hoje faz sucesso!!!
It aint easy to sing, but it's near impossible to sing in such an original and distinctive style as this.
Rinsin haarrd
If I'm not mistaken this was in 1981 few weeks after Bob died.
By his words sounds like around when General Starkey was killed... I think that was 1981 - no?
A one-of-a-fucking-kind-pioneer!
Eu em 2022 curtindo gueto living rato o príncipe da voz jamaicana
Future humans will study this performance as a mysterious artefact of unreplicable genius...
