  • 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

      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.

      @@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.

      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.
