What was the story between Ninja Man and Supercat? Both of them cats were about that life
no issue other than the fact they were "sparring" partners when they use to pass the mic together on the the STEREOMARRS SOUNDSYSTEM (crew) which use to clash other sounds in jamaica....
when you hear the track "RING DI ALARM" that was a track that was originally "freestyled" live whe Tenor Saw one of thier singers was signaling the call to alert the crowd that they had just "murdered" another soundsystem...
They were FULL OF TALENT....Stereomarrs at one time had (SUPERCAT, YAMI BOLO, TENOR SAW, NICODEMUS, JUNIOR DEMUS, UGLYMAN aka NINJAMAN, BURRO BATON, CUTTY RANKS, NITTY GRITTY and record selector DANNY DREAD) all on the same roster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i know i am being BIASED for stating that ...because i grew up a fan of thier sound...but real talk i challenge anyone to find a more TALENTED STABLE OF DANCEHALL ARTISTS
What brought about the clash between NINJA and CAT was basically the promoters feeding into the fans desire to have the two BAD BOYS at the time battled it out on stage......
Also the fact that SUPERCAT had just signed a big contract for COLUMBIA RECORDS and was seen as another commercial mainstream artist..that hometown favorite NINJA needed to murk out......
So it was strictly a musical war...nothing personal.....even though Ninja and CAT both threw darts at alleging each other's drug usuage....
"Cat talk bout mi pon coke...the first man to ever introduce me to Coke was SUPERCAT"!
although Cat did comment in an interview followign the clash that he felt the clash was sabotoged to "mek him lose" because he was no longer residing in Jamaica and he had gotten accepted by the AMERICAN MARKET...
but the counteraction to that argument is that SUPERCAT came in with a negative predisposition, because the previous year NINJA "murdered" SHABBA......and that SUPERCAT felt that even if he did WIN....that he wouldn't make it ALIVE out of jamaica...which explains him bringing the GUN ON STAGE which had fallen out of his pocket on to the stage......
To which Cat justifies as being NECCESARY considerign he had just beat the MURDER CHARGES against him in NYC regarding him defending himself during the shooting of NITTY GRITTY just months prior..
and was unsure if thier were still hostile elements bitter over his death...
all his life since his days sitting in the GENERAL PENITENTARY "death" has loomed over CAT's head......NINJA was just an animated character who made bad choices in regards to his street life which unfortunatly crosses over into his career.
either way....CAT and NINJA remain two of the best clash artists to ever grace the STING STAGE
