What Happened To Super Cat?

Super Cat emerged as one of Dancehall's biggest international exports of the 1990s alongside Shabba Ranks. He was set to rule the new millennium but mysteriously dropped out of the limelight

Supercat truly ruled the dancehall scene in the 90's A real legend 💪

[@divinedelaware7541]

Him and Shabba were the Top Shottas

[@steffensamlal1854]

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.

[@divinedelaware7541]

He had the first 3-4 years until Beanie dropped that gurls dem sugah

[@tommyaintgotnojob]

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.

[@JamaicanMillionaire]

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 .

[@talawatvhd768]

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

[@hoper8976]

Right, they always get it wrong. He even pronounced his surname incorrectly.

[@seldomsceen]

Nobody flows on the riddim like Cat the Don Dada

[@johnmurphy6556]

I have consistently rated Super Cat as the best to do it and I am glad he is still alive and making music.

[@ReggaeAppreciationSociety]

Yes I ✌️

[@davidscott3726]

​​@@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👍

[@WRedPhill24]

I got Supercat as the best lyricist ever

My thought too

[@valentinefoster4243]

EXACTLY

[@ds-kj8fq]

Big up yourself Supercat. this is Derek we grew up in the same community

[@alphansobrown3623]

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 .

[@MrKingbuggan]

Fi real..Cast still touring.Will be here in Washington DC Aug 23

[@lowKut]

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.

[@hi-tych]

This is my man. I still listen to his music.

[@Conserned1]

I love this channel. I’m from the US. I remember him from my teenage years. I first saw him on the song with Biggie. This channel is incredibly informative !

[@ReggaeAppreciationSociety]

Thanks a lot ✌️I'm glad you liked it

[@blasianluvschocolate397]

Same here..I was 17 in 1992 in Germany..at the clubs dancing to that song..❤

[@dexocube]

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.

[@ReggaeAppreciationSociety]

Very true ❤️💛💚

Big up Waterhouse and Clockburn pen.Mek dis bredda know that Dem place is Indian capital.👍

[@rockneybastard]

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

I remember when he dropped Mud Up. Played that on my Walkman on my way to college every day. Still play it now 👊🏾

[@skippab]

Apache Cat rule everytime. Up deh Dada...

[@sahrkellie9726]

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

[@ReggaeAppreciationSociety]

Blessings mi lion ✌️ Thanks for watching

[@el.aye.bee.4477]

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.

[@ispeakmucho]

Well said

[@Shadowbannddiscourse]

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

[@indigeneieve648]

One of the Greatest..Supa Cat!!🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@Mark-kp6xm]

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 ❤💛💚

Great video! Thank you. Love the Naija accent instead of some AI voice! Proper! Respek from overseas. Supa Cat is the Don Dada.

[@zurimoore2545]

Super cat music is RAW AS HARD AS EVER

[@comedicmood2729]

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

[@soulstalgiarecords77740]

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)

[@carsondouglas8600]

Yea that was super cats whole style. Delivery. Sound. Swag.

[@rogermoore27]

I was duped too 😂😂😂

[@Peakfreud]

​@@carsondouglas8600Sure was, but a lot of dudes started to "Copy Cat" excuse the Pun 😂 Shaggy owe Super Cat some Homage

thanks for the history! this guy's more thoughtful lyrics sound super contemporary in today's crazy times

[@terrysmith8918]

Sean Paul took his flow and style and ran with it.. simple
