and whats wrong with what buju
Well, it’s like the media is advertising Stephen Marley even more than Ziggy Marley and they don’t even advertise Andrew Tosh. Hence Tosh1 is adamant that he does not need them producers and the music pirates to sell his music. It is reality and its not like putting down Bob. I’m not a musician but am a lawyer grew up and still listening to reggae music, particularly Bob, Peter, Bunny, Toots,Spear and a lot more but Bob Marley is like reggae music revolves around him. Bob never wanted to be elevated into a reggae demi-god but silence means consent. So keeping quiet when dem music pirates use him identity fe dem ripping profits can’t be condoned. I like Ziggy Marley very much and his presence in my country South Africa fe di world cup sent reggae music lovers into a frenzy. But his comments regarding what Buju said are more emotional than objective. Obviously Ziggy should love his dad but this debate is not about Bob Marley. It is about how dem pirates exploit musicians for their personnal gains. Jah Live, Let H.I.M be praised.
Simphiwe, (if that is even your real name?) how can you even suggest that Bob Marley is better than all dem other guys? Buju’s style might be different to Bob’s but that doesn’t mean he’s rubbish. I jammed with Bob a few times back in the day and to be honest, he used to use alot of technical trickery and Autotune to get his sound right and he had to rely on a digital tuner to tune his axe up (all the session guys used to joke about it alot!). I’m not saying that he was talentless but he was definately not the best guitarist in the world or even America.
Haha Peter,
you jammed with him back in the yea! Classic!! And you clowns had a good laugh!
Bob had a great musical mind and to say he needed a digital tuner …well the joke is on you.
O and thanks for informing us that you don’t think the most popular and enduring musician of all time was ‘talentless ‘
when everyone was silent back in 1975, Bob said JAH live; the rest is history!!
