if someone puts some bob marley on, i question their reggae knowledge

thats all i know

bob marley is peoples favorites because thats all they know
i see what you mean but bob really is the god of reggae. if someone asks me what reggae artists i like ill mention gregory isaacs, eek a mouse, peter tosh, yellowman etc. and not even mention bob cause its not necessary. hes the king. he is trendy and has become that reggae singer who smoked pot and whos cool to listen to, but most ppl are stupid, and you cant let that take away from his greatness.

ill question reggae knowledge based on what bob cd people bring up. if they say they like legend, theyre suspect. but then again, im not gonna hate on them cause as long as his music is being played its cool. different people just appreciate his music on different levels

well yeah. they commercialized him the way theyve commercialized guys like che guevara. but i mean watch a bob marley concert and the man was a fucking beast. i would spend my summers back in the day getting high and watching bob marley videos (eventually moved on up to dvds) and he was just plain amazing. the best in my book

For some of us its like an evolution of learning/loving reggae.

Bob first turned me on to the music and I listened to everything I could get my hands on by him.

After I realized how trendy he was, I moved away from him entirely.

Then, I figured I moved away from him not to be trendy, but not because his music wasn't the shit, and now I have the mindset that Carl Winslow spoke of.

Old pirates, yes, they rob i;
Sold I to the merchant ships,
Minutes after they took i
From the bottomless pit.
But my hand was made strong
By the and of the almighty.
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly.
Wont you help to sing
These songs of freedom? -

Redemption songs;
Redemption songs.

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our minds.
Have no fear for atomic energy,
cause none of them can stop the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look? ooh!
Some say its just a part of it:
Weve got to fulfil de book.

well i hated i am legend for more reasons than that (i didnt hate it..it was just a rip off of 1971's omega man...yeah thought i aint know aboutthat movie, huh?) , but trust that was a good reason....and then they played the shit OVER AND OVER AND OVER
