Music from my youth.....❤ 2 weeks ago i finally got the chance too see this Legend alive in Bergen op zoom Holland ...still a Master
Eek A Mouse! The one and only
Yes I ✌️
Wow, that guy is crazy, what a life
After watching this video it gave me a another level of respect for the great mouse
Big up to the Mouse, a man dem with an illustrious catalogue indeed..as with many musical geniuses, crazy unbelievable antiques are a mainstay and part of the musical diet
Tallest mouse inna di house! :D He is such an element when performing live... True legend!
Yes I ✌️
🔥🔥🔥🔥
The 3 greats. Bob Peter and Eek. Period
Bing bing bong bong oyy😄 🙌
I've seen him live once a few years ago. It was in my hometown in the Netherlands in a small venue. That man commands the stage like no other. Well stage, he started walking through the audience while performing because it was so small. I'll never forget that concert.
He was uneek back in the days
Now RidEEKulous
Nice word play there 😆
"Mousketeer" is my favourite album ever. My Dad bought it at the time, when I was 10 years old, and it still hits me every time i play it, nearly 40 years later.
This is a brilliant channel, thank you and keep up the great work you are doing.
He just dropped a new song and its amazing! "Tell Jesus to call me back" 🍎🍌
Nice work as usual. He lived in Orange County, California for a few years. He always had a strong following. He used to play a lot at this big club. He was well liked, the club owner gave him money to record on of his later albums. I don't think people knew he talked with a stutter, explains his style a bit. He was a real character on stage and off from the things I have been told. Years ago, I spotted him walking down a street from close to where I live now. As I passed him I shouted " Mr. Hilton, Mr Hilton " yeah, its a little Harder they come line. He for sure, had some drug issues. Word is he can tour the US again. I'm sure he will make some serious bank if he come to Cali.
Thank you Ras Gregory G🙌 interesting I never knew he had a stutter. It really explains a lot
I don't care what anyone thinks or says about him.
Mouse is a true legend, I listen to his music every day very often.
@@bigdawg3305wow you’re sooo brave!
Great artist my fathers land is my personal favourite 👍🦁
He's a ghetto youth ..with pride, i think they really tried to sabotage 😒 As a ghetto youth trying to make a living is one the loneliest roads even with sed linkage. 🍃🚶🏼♂️
bang ding ding
Love you videos and presentation, thank you my friend.
Blessings mon ✌️ Thanks for watching and supporting
Eek a mouse is legendary he sounds like speedygodzilla the mouse
The most definitely artist from AFRICAN LAND,(Respect black men) Dems de great,Dem tough!!.
No longer the lovable character i used to know back in the 80s, meaness and bitterness had taken over. But he was unique and intriguing I admit. I still have the VHS Video Cassette of the 1982 Reggae Sunsplash part 2 featuring Steel Pulse, Chalice, Burning Spear, Mighty Diamonds, Marcia Griffiths, Mutabaruka, Aswad and of course Eek-Mouse........etc
Thank you for this.
Your channel is really good! I’m glad I found it ! Jah Bless
Thanks and welcome to RAS ✌️ Big up mon
Certainly a character, as a Junior I was lucky to be invited to my High School Senior Prom in 1999. Eek-A-Mouse sung at the event, and he was crazy good! There was a girl who caught his eye, she was looking real hot lol He invited her to the backstage, she didn’t want to go alone so she grabbed me and dragged me with her haha The guy was nice to me, gave me some swag and even signed it, but there was definitely a creepy factor to the whole thing. He was probably stoned and had a creepy look which I was oblivious to it because I wasn’t in any danger, but the girl knew something was up and didn’t want to stick around any longer. He basically begged for her to stay with him but she was “hell nah!” 😂 looking back now as an adult, I’m wondering what could he possibly want with a 17yo?! lol Great musician but definitely had some demons. He could have been mainstream and possibly be up there with the greats but those demons kept him from reaching those heights.
Another thoughtful presentation, Kingman
Thanks mi lion 🙌
This reminded me that I had not listened to Kahai Suit for a while. Love that song and Ganja Smuggling
he will be in new orleans on the 14th of august.
He’s my favorite ❤️
Legend! 🐁🐁
Wow mon. I knew something wrong about the Marley boys long time. I jammed with them, some of my favorite concerts. But ya, they rich boys,not like their dad grew up. "We all had to sleep on the floor". Bless RAS, HIM and Eekamouse.
Yes, and that's why I love Eak a mouse.

1:49:i heard this young man back in the day,eek a mouse,early 80s,was chatting Chinese dialect on the mic,apparently,he came up with some weird Jamaican dialect,i don't know whether that's fact but that's what i heard,it was some kind of black Chinese chatting on the mic
In every house there is a mouse
RAS. Thanks for your unbeatable, unbelievable qualities in all your research. Your work is positively updating your viewers of past and present reggae legendary. Once again, thank you. I have two questions. 1: Have you made a biography of PRINCE FAR I? 2: I listened to a song 🎵 in the early 90s, but I don't know who sang it. I know part of the lyrics, but I don't know the title and artist. The song 🎵 goes thus;
"You two fat, fat girl to be on top
My grandmother said, "Son, never you carry a heavy load over the estimate of 125".......JAH BLESS 🙌
Thanks for the support mi lion ✌️ blessings. I haven't done one on him yet but working on it
It was the beginning of rap. Eeka Mouse, Yellow Man are all rappers/toasters.
It was so much better than today's rap. Eek a Mouse and Yellow Man are lyrical geniuses compared to modern rappers and drillers 😂
Originality

EEK A Cat
the tallest mouse

😆✌️
Loved him in his day. Nice lyrics and nice style. Sadly he is now on another planet..putting it mildly! 🙁😦😔
Now I'm wondering when I saw Eek-A-Mouse, but I know it was in the 2000s. I was pretty disappointed in his show as he constantly said "what are we smoking?" throughout his whole act. Strangely enough I love reggae, but hate mind altering drugs of any kind, even marijuana. I was expecting to see a skinny Eek-A-Mouse instead of him being muscular, and I always thought him being skinny was part of his image. Might be kind of shallow of me, I know, but it wasn't an enjoyable show for me. Now Yellowman, he never fails even to this day.
You're right the muscular Eek a Mouse was really odd. I never took to that look. Lol
Yes Shallow. Eeka mouse is Eeka Mouse. Such a shame that you judge the herb, You can like his music but it comes with the things the man himself loves, ganja and being muscular. GTFOH
@@nene71286 I'll stick with his recordings. Not much of a concert goer these days anyway. If that makes me shallow, so be it.
@@agomodern I guess its that simple. That is why is always good to not have expectations.
6 years of Learning bingbong whahahahaha
