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 .

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.

@@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👍

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

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.
