Jack Parow - Cooler as Ekke 

2024 and I'm still jamming to this song. Jack Parrow made me want to master Afrikaans.

As a black Xhosa guy this is my favorite Afikaaner song ❤️👊🏾

Jack Parow: Part time rap artist, part time diving board.

Who ever thought I could enjoy Afrikaans rap? This man drops mad ass beats and just glides over them. Well done Mnr.

I'm coloured n I still listen to jack parow.❤

Afrikaans just flows. It is a great language for rhyming. Loved it.

13 jaar later en ek lief nogsteeds hierdie song!!

Lockdown made me remember this gem. "Ek raak aan poppies, jy raak aan kleintjies."🤣🤣🤣

"Ek's America, Jy's Iraaq"

Dit nummer was een hit bij ons in Vlaanderen (tegenwoordig woon ik in NL, waar het ook een hit was). Heerlijke toegankelijke dis, tegelijk niet te serieus. Blij het terug te horen.

Zo klinkt Nederlands als het iedere dag mooi weer is en je super relaxed bent. Toptaal dat Afrikaans. Fantastisch.

Jack parow is the definition of "don't judge a book by its cover"😂👌

Jack Parrow legend. Ekt jou in Dubai gesien..... Die was die song om té onthou... Die een met die minste vloekwoorde.

Dit is de kracht van muziek, ik versta er niks van maar ik luister het heel de dag door.

Ah, the song that started it all and kicked Parow into the mainstream... such good memories

VLAAMS love AFRIKAANS !!

afrikaanse raps.. Ek verta julle mooi. Vanuit Nederland

very similar languages , im dutch (belgian) and i have never been in south africa. i still understand 99% of this song.

In 2024 this wonderful childhood memories sparked 🔥🔥🔥

This tune is still the bomb!!!Great vibe!! And me as a Dutch man can understand almost all of the words.

I love this song - Jack Parrow could be HUGE in USA! Lots of people here listen to this all the time even though nobody understands it - the point of the song comes through

I still love this song remember playing it in primary school . Nostalgic " eks original jys a copy, eks a flashdrive, jys a floppy." Lol

Lol this dude rules! I love the few lyrics I could understand, "I's original, yous a copy. I's a flashdrive, yous a floppy" Pure gold! :D

im dutch and this sounds verry funny

As a Dutch speaker i find Afrikaans to be a better version of Dutch. Way more playful and cool to hear.

dont understand a word but song still rocks

Watched Jack Parow perform live last night! Awesome stage personality! His ultra common persona makes him who he is, the best Afrikaans rapper alive! Jack Parow FTW!!!

Dutch and Afrikaans sound so beautiful to me.

I love the language! I went to South-Africa in December and I could understand much of what the people said/ wrote in Afrikaans. I think that's because I'm Dutch. So reading Afrikaans was quite easy. Since then I've been in love with the country, the language and Jack Parow.

Did not realise how good Afrikaans rap was XD

''Dik heavy uitgeskollie'' is still my favourite shit.

Deze shit blijft nog steeds hard.. Jack Parrow is nog steeds zwaar dope!

im a down right english man..and i gotta admit..afrikaans rocks when it comes to just what you want to express..love this song..couldnt have said it better in ANY other language..EVER..!!!

This song is still lit and it it september 2019

Fokkit julle dis al 14 jaar 😂

still puts a big smile on my face

Wie kyk nog die shit in 2019! Ek fokken love Jack!

This has a very 2009 vibe to it. Even tho I’ve never seen it it’s kind of nostalgic

Found this song on Spotify, badass while driving around volume cranked up, not a clue what he's saying but it works.

Dang, this hits the nostalgia spot. The song and dated, ultra specific references

I still come here for this.

Still fresh as a cucumber!!

Well produced, engineered from the heart, as it hit out g-spot eardrums.🔥🔥❤️

Jack Parrow braa,ek lewe soos n srtaat meid...

As a native English speaker this is so motivating to learn Afrikaans, I had no idea these two languages were so similar. Afrikaans seems like its really similar to German too

dit is gewoon echt geniaal! Zowel de taal, de beat, de bass, en vooral die pet

Die ou is n legand!! Ek miss suid afrika.. wens dinge was anders.

Ek spreek Afrikaans en Nederlands en dit is nog steeds goeie tune

Die laaste keer wat ek die song gehoor het was toe dit uitgekom het en dis nogsteeds poes snaaks!

Burger Fair Roadhouse in Bellville Main Road - one of my favourite hang-out joints.

Wie nog luister jack 2021?

Zuid Afrikaans is zo'n puur en cool Nederlands accent. Kan er geen genoeg van krijgen deze muziek!

Omg this is such a vibe✨ I love it!

I am from belgium, speaking dutch and hearing this is hilarious. I can understand like 25% of it. So funny how you guys changed dutch in ur own language, love it

Because the internet is a worldwide network and English is the internet's (and science's) Esperanto. It gives the non-Dutch- and non-Afrikaans-speaking viewers (a.k.a. almost the entire world) the opportunity to understand these comments. So the simple answer to your question 'why people are commenting in English?' is: attentiveness - the trait of being considerate and thoughtful of others. Kind regards from Amsterdam.

pep store brook,came from Benoni, watching this now in chesterfield,england, Bari lekker

Parow is cooler as ekke.

So naar meneer van de walle echt een banger man zonder m’n leerkracht kwa ik niet achtere deze shit

I wasn't sure about this in the beginning, but it won me over by the middle. This is some fresh and interesting stuff coming out of South Africa. I'm gonna go listen to more now

I still don't know the meaning of the song but it's still my favorite Jack parrow song 😂😂😂

Deze poku is al jaaaren een van mn favo raps. Heel blij dat hij nog zn ding doet. Coole Ekke 😄

RIP 20,000 hersencellen, AWSOME!

I adore that in this awesome kind of music and video, the girl is wearing a Slayers shirt :') This speaks volumes about music, how it brings people together, and you don't need genres to actually enjoy something!

OK I'm a fan, that's awesome!

I love this!

listened to this song over and over and over and over and over and over again XD JACK PAROW FOR LIFE!

Dope beat. You could read the news to this and it would still be a hit.

Being Dutch I can mostly undarstand everytying , Cool!

Love from holland 🌷🇳🇱🇳🇱

Die man is die meêrste similêre rapper aan 'n normaal mens :D

He got bars...this guy is good. He should’ve promoted this song in the townships lol

I can only catch the bits of English in there, but this still finds a way to get stuck in my head.

The fact that I don’t understand makes it cool to me. I love the chorus.

i absolutely love this song this is a truly talented south african rapper. although he uses some foul language it is still amazing music. 100% all the way jack parow you are awesome

I'm dutch and we had to listen to this song for my history assignment. It do be a vibe tho.

Jou bestste song ooit en toe verloor jy stoke!!

LOVE IT!

From what Ive heard this is Jack Parow best track. This one has such a nice flow. I want to go to Benoni :D

die inge is echt cooler as ekke,zeker met dat slayershirt!

Weer even terug om hiervan te genieten. Zelfs nu nog :)

Coming back to this in 2020 and still JAMS!

Wtf, i’m a NL’er and i love this song...en ik versta het gewoon man... this shit rules 👊😜👍

Back then when life was simple😂

Parow is the boss. Rocking this in Canada while its -30 outside..

This is real Hip Hop's Spirit ! (With South African's madness)! Peace, Love, Unity and Havin' Fun !!!

Hahahaha wat een mooi nummer

This guy is cool. :)

Played this song in Primary school and I’m stil jamming in 2021

Die hartseerste ding van die musiek video, is om die prys van kos teen die muur te sien.

I love Parow, but this video was the first time I ever saw what he looks like. When he turns around (the big reveal of being a cool guy... around thirty seconds or saw) with the Donald Duck hat, I started laughing so hard, that I cried. I'll stick to his music.

I speak Dutch and a dialect at home and this sounds like someone of the region who has a speech defect. I LOVE IT !
