That any of this will matter in the end.

that he's still alive

Your channel is so cringe how are you gonna say his name is not "Bob"? His name is Robert and all Roberts are called Bobby or Bob for short so how are you gonna his name wasn't eveb Bob at the start of the video?

That Bob wrote GET UP STAND UP how ridiculous is that .... & Dr. Josef Issels who once was a Nazi doctor was Bobs Doctor how ridiculous is that ....

I heard he was a cross dressing mad axe murderer, just saying!!

Imagine him being rejected for having curly hair . Those kids sounds jealous .

Exactly! Actually, the only 100% 'true' Jamaicans are (or were) the Arawak people.

Agree. He is 100% Jamaican. Jamaica is a nation not a race. If that was the case we would have to lose our motto, “out of many one” Even the Taínos came from South America, the Redware people were here before that. And I’m sure we can keep going back.

As a Jamaican being mulatto is a difficult place to be. You are both celebrated and hated at the same time. You're put on a pedestal and also chastised

No they were not jamaicans. The nation jamaica did not exist back then thus they were not jamaican. Jamaican is a nationality not a ethnicity@@fredvan6043

How was his father Jamaican when he was an Englishman who moved to Jamaica? Are you saying he's Jamaican because he moved to Jamaica and became a "citizen."?

@@thechi2848 No I am not saying that! The Island of Jamaica was taken over by the English from the Spanish in 1665. Even at that stage, the Spanish had already begun populating the island with West African captives made into slaves! The English renamed the Island Jamaica ( from Santiago which the Cubans called it) and made it a part of their British West Indies colony! The English continued the abhorrent practice of importing slaves from West Africa! In 1838, the English/British emancipated the African slaves on the island of Jamaica! They then imported Chinese and Indian indentured workers to take the place of the freed Africans! After this time, Jamaica became a melting pot of races,including the descendants of the white planter class, even as it remained a British colony! It is thereby agreed that all that lived and were born on the island from then on were now Jamaican!! That includes the descendants of the English planters class and the descendants of Africans imported as slaves! Bob Marley's father was born in Clarendon of English descent in 1884! Bob Marley's mother was born in St Ann Parish, of Maroon lineage who were mostly of Ghanaian descent! Marley was born in Nine Mile in 1945, to parents , who despite their different racial lineage , were both born In Jamaica!! OUT OF MANY, ONE PEOPLE!! So therefore Bob Marley, regardless of his biracial background is 100% pure Jamaican because both his parents were born in Jamaica! NB:despite its independence in 1962, Jamaica is still not a republic at this time, and the King of England ( like the Queen Elizabeth before him) is the official Head of State of Jamaica! Another NB: Jamaicans who emigrated en masse to England as children on the EmpireRush ( and their siblings born there) are quite happy to be British today despite being Black people! It works both ways! 👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬!!

@@aframaco9491Jamaica is not a race therefore he is a mixed man from Jamaica .

@@stacyr4768 Silly point, there is no country on earth that is defined as a race!!! Not a one !! So regardless of someone racial categories , their nationality, citizenship becomes nomenclature! Barack Obama is not described as the mixed race man from America, he is simply described as an American !! Accord Bob Marley the same dignity ! 👊🏾🇳🇬!

@@aframaco9491 You don't have to put an exclamation mark after EVERY sentence, yunno!

agreed sir

Absolutely 😢😢😢 His body of work is phenomenal, the quantity and quality of songs are absolutely phenomenal

I almost feel like he got cheated out of his life. But considering the tribulation he went through all his life. I guess God decided that his mission was complete. Thank God his spirit is living through his music.

He said all he needed to say, his work was over

@@Leira6267 What tribulation?

​@@kabatafari9902trenchtown. The ghetto

you haven't spoken to enough casual fans lol

​@Xy3913 where did you get the idea that black Jamacians are not respected? Jamacia like all Caribbean Islands. They have a class system and I might ad they are evidence of a color problem as well. You need to do some research before making such a stupid comment. Don't know what race you are but you sound uninformed and racist.

Bob was Christian, christened multiple times.... fake Rasta for record sales bajajaja.... he was christened as a Christian when he was an adult, in Wilmington, Delaware.... 25 miles from my home in new jersey. Maybe you need to do more research yourself.

​@@fatrobdouble Plenty Rasta practice Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism. Rasta is way of life✌🏾

@@ronniesmith1378 if you're a Christian, you believe that Jesus was the Messiah. If you're a Rasta, you believe that Haile Selassie (aka Ras Tafari Makonnen) was the Messiah. Those beliefs could be compatible with Buddhism, but they aren't compatible with one another

@@fatrobdoubleRastafarianism is a form of Christianity dude

@@fatrobdoubleNo, Rastas believe Selassie was the Second Coming

You have the order right, and there was a lineal evolution, but there certainly was some overlap. Late first-wave ska was recorded after the earliest rocksteady tracks, same is true for the latest rocksteady overlapping early reggae and even "do the reggay" (sic) was really more of a rocksteady song in and of itself. All manner of bashment is categorized by many genres and subgenres, and it's rarely going to be a situation where there's a clear cut timestamp where one begins and another ends. There were dub versions of roots songs, and many roots riddims formed the basis of dancehall tracks. Moreover, many roots artists became dancehall artists and even ragga artists late in their career, just as Toots and the Maytals made Ska, Rocksteady, and Reggae songs over the course of their careers. There were transitional subgenres, like sing-jay, which bridged the gap between roots and dancehall. And, although I don't do this personally, a lot of ppl refer to all post-calypso/post mento Jamaican music "reggae," from ska thru contemporary ragga which seems goofy to me but we cannot deny it exists and is somewhat common usage, especially for ppl who love music generally but aren't massive fans of Jamaican music specifically. Jamaican music is complex, and resistant to the overly simplistic categories that the global music industry has tried to squeeze them into.

@@fatrobdouble They overlapped to some degree. But late first -wave that overlapped the first (real) rocksteady, was already a lot slower and is also called 'the rudeboy sound'. And the year 1968 is an interesting year. With rocksteady at the beginning, proto-reggae and rocksteady in the middle of the year and proto-reggae and reggae in the end of the year.

@@octaviano1296 yeah, i mean, kind of. We cannot ignore the sheer volume of music coming out of JA in the 60s and ealry 70s, and the rate at which the colume was created. 68 was complicated, and i would argue to a larger extent than you're implying

@@fatrobdouble Sometimes it is very complicated. How to call, for example, the chant over versions by U Roy in the early 70s of rocksteady instrumental tracks of 1967 and 1968 with added double chop riddim to make it fit the early reggae era?

@@octaviano1296 that's the point I'm trying to make; a lot of music from Jamaica, post ska thru present day, defy easy classification

I think its because he changed his name later on and switched it

Rita had 3 biological children for Bob Marley

@@EmunahYsrael yes, she has 3 children that were Bob's and an additional 3 that weren't. The video mentions that Rita had 12 children.

They give insight they impart peace unity and positivity. except for the song that says he feel like bombing a church. I am sure that he regretted writing that song and singing such words. A strong contradiction was creates with that message. there is no contrast between his other renditions and a d that. I am sure he prayed and is forgiven,

Yes he was very handsome!!

I can’t even finish watching this 😳🥴

@@MSRedgirl Same here

His dreadlocks had to do with the Rastafarian lifestyle he was following, not because he's a Woodstock child.

You know if I were you I would keep your opinions to yourself if you don't understand the style or the culture of the people from Jamaica which means that dreadlocks are a staple there okay so when I hear people like you saying oh it must have been infested with head lice you know what maybe we're just infested with pests like you existing in this world

Bob was a rasta not a hippie 😂

@@keemie4040 Su creampie

"..he’s very in tune with his surroundings." Correct and especially now as do all those who stand face/face with God: Jesus Christ and instantly know the truth.

It is excellent, and pretty accurate. But a layman may have a hard time understanding the Jamaican Patois.

It was really good! I think you will enjoy it

Loved it!!!

That's what religion does. They are a bit crude. But I believe he is alive with God. The universal God, who accepts everyone. The God of love. One love ✌️

Some things are just not for you to understand .

Bob marley was killed by the cia

Outdated religious beliefs? Except he wasn’t religious. Tell me you understood nothing without telling me you understood nothing.

I’m sure he’s gonna live forever…I think more people know him now than before he “died” He was ahead of his time. This physical life was just the beginning for him.

Just because he didn’t want to amputate doesn’t mean he rejected western medicine he still tried chemotherapy. Rastafari isn’t a religion. Carry on being an expert of nothing

@@Reggi_Sample Can you explain why it isn't a religion, genuine question.

The religious of soccer

@@elijahtheprophet2202It’s more of a cult than a religion, for surely Haile Selassie I isn’t a deity or a GOD simply another human being. HS never appointed himself a deity or GOD, a second coming of Jesus Christ, or any incarnated GOD or Jah, or a leader of the Rastafarian movement. That unfortunately doesn’t stop people from choosing to worship other human beings even in their deaths and while they were alive. Whenever a person or people worship a human being or hold them to a higher than necessary esteem with any select teachings particularly from the Scripture is cultism. Rastafarianism is not a religion but that doesn’t stop anyone from making or saying it is. There are other cults bearing the label of being a religion. The true meaning of true or the original understanding of religion is not what it use to be. Religion has been changed and some cases cultism are viewed as a religion. Cultism is what it means in its original understanding of the word.

Yes; as Nigeria was a colony of England at the time. Jamaica was a colony of England during that time as well

@@francinehines7765 I know that Jamaica was a colony of England.

and Robbie, Karen, Makeda. I might be missing more

He died catholic, he was raised catholic and went back to it a few years before his death

Definitely not catholic he joined the Ethiopian orthodox church the church that Haile Selassie was a member of

Do we know that's the reason he wouldn't amputate the toe? I've seen another intervju with some family of him saying it wasn't just the toe, but the entire foot that had to be amputated, and he loved playing football too much to do it.

Go away from here are u mad

@@MatiasHamreSveenI heard it was because it would affect his dance moves

Not a rumour his friends an family have spoken about written about it!

@byronchannells4517 wow that's interesting! Thanks for the response!

@rodneychassagne7243 it was a while ago but I read the boots were a gift from a photographer/reporter( CIA agent)

@byronchannells4517 I heard the same thing...do you know we're I can watch a video about it or read about it?

@rodneychassagne7243 I think it was in a book called catch a fire! I have quite a few books on Bob I'll have a look for you!

Tosh was in fact a better musician, and a good songwriter, but he lacked Bob's charisma and showmanship.

Peter was the better musician or instrumentalist. Bob wz the better & more prolific artist. Bob had a better voice & was the better writer. & by far the better performer.

Exactly

Opinion , not fact.

Peter played second fiddle to Bob because even though Peter was the more proficient guitarist who actually initially taught Marley guitar cords, Peter was not as talented and prolific a songwriter as Bob. Peter and Bunny were in truth sidemen to Bob, which is why Bob’s compositions made up 80-90 percent of their 1960s material till when Bunny and Peter split. Peter dramatically matured as a songwriter, but was never on Bob’s level. If your personal preference is Peter’s music, then we respect that. But when you place their songs and catalogs side by side, there is no comparison, as Bob totally eclipses Peter.

A pound a week ?!

What, being born in Jamaica to a Jamaican woman and bought up in Jamaica means he's not Jamaican? Just because his Dad was from England means he's not Jamaican? You've got weird ideas on nationality!

Bobs father was born in Clarendon Jamaica. Not England.

Him an African! 🦁 🇪🇹

No it doesn't. He was born in Jamaica

@@kayadavid1037 got me there, but I believe his paternal grandfather was from the north west of England.

Where's your information from re the assassination theory please? Would love to read more about it. CIA I'm guessing. I have a book about JL's killer being a manchurian candidate.

@@MaryBywaters I was watching KZfaq on one documentary led to another led to another led to another like that a few of the documentaries mentioned books on the topic. I'm heavily dyslexic so it's hard for me to read so I have to obtain my information and other formats. Pretty much the story goes as soon as he got political that's when they wanted him gone. I find where I find truth is when you hear it from multiple sources that's what I've heard about the Bob Marley death I think they use the cane an injected him

Bob wasn’t assassinated 😂 no reason to kill the live song guy that was a phony. Peter tosh was the real deal and wouldn’t back down from his message and he was surely murdered

@@RH421939 they had ex-british spies on the documentary I watch saying yes they were watching Bob Marley unhappy with Bob Marley and wanted him out of the way. You're basing your opinion on a personal feeling? I have seen this on several documentaries. Once you got political and started getting involved in the government they wanted him out of the way. Like my mom always said you're entitled to your wrong opinion!
