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?
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
I’ve always appreciated this true artist and poet! I know he was not always in perfect condition and what people thought he should be. But he was a man. A good man and a great man! But still another man of principle! His music always lifts me up out of any depression with or without ganja ❤️
Marley was 100% Pure Jamaican! Yes he was biracial, with a white father and a black mother! But BOTH his parents were JAMAICAN!! Bob's mother was born in St Ann's Parish, while his father Norval Sinclair Marley was born in Clarendon Jamaica in 1885. If Marley had been nothing but just a layabout ghetto youth, they wouldn't be linking his direct heritage to Britain!! 👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬!
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! 👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬!!
@@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!

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.
"one good thing about music, when it hits, you feel no pain." "so hit me with music...!" you made it possible for me to live again after all that had happened. i am now a duppy conqueror because of you, Robert Nesta Marley! thank you for every other thing you have ever done for me and for trying to save the human race!!🎶🎵🙏
You missed sooooo much! Robbie? Rohan? Ky-Mani, Karen? Makeda and Imani. Rita had 6 kids, Bob aka Robbie 13 (including the two of Rita kids he adopted)… this video lacks a lot.
People would make up anything but i heard this way back in the day one of bob marley friends was speaking on him and he said that bob marley smelled really good even up to his hair and because he was half white his hair was very soft and i could believe that he looked like he smelled good just by looking at him women loved him and he was attractive and women loved to touch his hair his friend said. You could often see him washing it in old home videos but because of his cancer treatment he sadly lost it all.
Jamaica’s motto is “Out of many one people“ it’s a nation, your race has nothing to do with being Jamaican. That’s what makes Jamaica so beautiful and the food so awesome. A true melting pot. Not a segregated nation of multiple races. Jamaica don’t pull that ish of halfsies, once you are born in Jamaica you are a 100% Jamaican. One Love. One Nation under God. This vid was definitely done by someone with a totally different mind set from how Jamaicas process inclusiveness of a nation.
@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.
His death was completely unnecessary and 100% preventable. His chosen ignorance of how medicine actually works, couple with outdated religious beliefs killed him. He didn't have to die, and shouldn't have. Being a big fan, it's hurtful.
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 ✌️
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.
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.
@@Gotaspecial_delivery 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
4:30 No. Ska, rocksteady and reggae weren't developed alongside each other. Those genres came AFTER each other. Ska wasn't recorded anymore in the rocksteady era and rocksteady wasn't recorded anymore when reggae came.
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?

"..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.
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,
Above all else nobody has stated the fact that the man was a musical genius and performed a lot of his own music that he wrote along side his wife Rita ❤
Reggae, Rocksteady, and Ska developed alongside each other? Really? REALLY really??? edit : And his LATER recordings included Ska, Rocksteady, and Rhythm & Blues? Then what on earth was Sir Dodd recording in the beginning of Bob's career?
The fact that his mother was scared to register his birth, incase of prosecution. Reminds me of when Jesus was born & his parents had to move city to protect their son from being prosecuted. He was such a good looking man
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
@@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.
WHO HAS THE ONLY DETAILED DOCUMENTED PROOF OF REGGAE CREATION COPYRIGHTS? IS THIS POSTED ONLINE? WHY ARE THE MUSIC MEDIA NOT TALKING ABOUT IT? WHAT ARE THEY AFRAID 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.
WHO WERE-JUNIOR BRAITHWAITE -GARTH DENNIS -RAS CARDO -CHERRY TO BOB MARLEY? WHO HAD THE LEGAL COPYRIGHTS OF REGGAE CREATION? WHO PROTECTED BOB, BUNNY, PETER WHEN THEY FIRST CAME INTO TRENCH TOWN?
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.
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.
There are lots of stories about him. The truth be to.d he became a born again Christian before he died. So the rastafarian funeral had no religious effect on him he is in heaven. There wasdenial to perform the fu ersl rights in a religious way. Rasttafarianism is not and should not be confused with religion the behavior is a cu.tural experience
What's this ridiculous nonsense? Who ever believed Bob was monogamous? Just like one may expect from the name "grunge" itself, this channel is missing the point completely.
Bob only became a Rasta after his mentor who was Rasta. Also Bob converted to Ethiopian orthodox Christianity before he died. The Ethiopian Orthodox Bible is the Bible Rasta’s use. Not the European or English Bible. The Ethiopian Bible is the second oldest bible in the world form around 200 to 300 AD and hasn’t changed languages or been updated. It takes a skill to learn a dead language it’s only used in Ethiopian churches. Ge’ez isn’t common or was the only language spoken in Ethiopia
The original Wailing Wailers wer: Beverley Kelso, Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer, Junior Braithwaite, and Cherry Smith, formed in 1962. Not exactly a trio. Do your homework people.
Myth about Bob Marley he only got high for religious purposes bulshit. I'm a big Bob Marley document Watcher there's a whole bunch of them. One of the ones I watch where you was at his house on top. He rolls a big spliff and explains the this helps them feel better help some work out and exercise and then he goes and plays soccer. Doesn't really sound religious to me working out and playing soccer not that I'm criticizing the man he was a legend in his own time🎉
Making a video with false information about the positive and negative impacts of frequencies, when there are scientific studies stating otherwise.. is crazy. Knock it off
Nash wanted to propelled his music, so he had Bob marley n wailers write for him. Nash actually didn't do mich for the group, but the group did much for nash, hence why Bob and the Wailers cut ties because it wasnt benefiting them until they met blackwell. Plz knw facts before making a video
And to say his death was 100% preventable is foolish because its cancer its unpredictable in a lot of ways...jus shut up you didn't know him to say such a thing
🇯🇲 Nesta was not a rare name it was fairly common in Jamaica during that tim. Nesta however is a female name. 🇯🇲 Norvel his father was born in Jamaica 🇯🇲 Dispelling myths with require fact. How old was Ziggy and was he around his father during these smoke sessions? 1:14
One of the prevailing myths around Bob Marley is that his father was a white man . I read other biographer that in fact he wasn’t white but he was light skin- black - it’s popular in Caribbean islands to call someone white who isn’t it’s happens in Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 for example calling someone white who is just light skin Black .
Bob Marley was assassinated do your research this video just makes people Dumber I've watched dozens of documentaries on Bob Marley this is the worst one ever the most nonsensical non fact-based I have ever seen except for the basic facts😢
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 RUclips 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!
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!

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.

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.
Very interesting.
WHO HAS THE ONLY DETAILED DOCUMENTED PROOF OF REGGAE CREATION COPYRIGHTS? IS THIS POSTED ONLINE? WHY ARE THE MUSIC MEDIA NOT TALKING ABOUT IT? WHAT ARE THEY AFRAID OF?
In reality it was religion that killed Bob. If only he had removed that toe! 😢
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
WHO WERE-JUNIOR BRAITHWAITE -GARTH DENNIS -RAS CARDO -CHERRY TO BOB MARLEY? WHO HAD THE LEGAL COPYRIGHTS OF REGGAE CREATION? WHO PROTECTED BOB, BUNNY, PETER WHEN THEY FIRST CAME INTO TRENCH TOWN?
11:19 sure, but all infants (babies) seem to love Bob Marley..
“Measured, deliberate, sacred”
He was the evolved form of a stoner.
❤❤❤
lol he didn’t smoke a pound of weed daily
I suspect the name suggested was Nestor..
Lester 🤣 thats legendary!
Might Watch The New Biopic Movie Looks Like a good film
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!!!
Another fun fact was that Peter Tosh was a far superior artist in comparison to BM
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.
Unless it comes from his family....don't believe any crap from the Internet.
Nigerian military? In 1945?
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.
He had nothing to do with grunge
Marley made Northern Soul too.
Let him rest in peace!!!!
I hope to visit Jamaica one day. I would love to pay my respects. I seen pictures of Jamaica. Its beautiful. God bless the legacy of Bob Marley ❤
The last segment of this video has a mistake. You put that he gained US fame twice, once in the spot it's supposed to be and another at the end.
There are lots of stories about him. The truth be to.d he became a born again Christian before he died. So the rastafarian funeral had no religious effect on him he is in heaven. There wasdenial to perform the fu ersl rights in a religious way. Rasttafarianism is not and should not be confused with religion the behavior is a cu.tural experience
What's this ridiculous nonsense? Who ever believed Bob was monogamous? Just like one may expect from the name "grunge" itself, this channel is missing the point completely.
Bob only became a Rasta after his mentor who was Rasta. Also Bob converted to Ethiopian orthodox Christianity before he died. The Ethiopian Orthodox Bible is the Bible Rasta’s use. Not the European or English Bible. The Ethiopian Bible is the second oldest bible in the world form around 200 to 300 AD and hasn’t changed languages or been updated. It takes a skill to learn a dead language it’s only used in Ethiopian churches. Ge’ez isn’t common or was the only language spoken in Ethiopia
432 is the rule ❤
You forgot Rohan Marley
and Robbie, Karen, Makeda. I might be missing more
Dude - he went to Delaware to visit his mother!!!! Grudge - go do some research and come again!!
Always amuses me when these foreigners chatting like they are authority on rastafari. Bob this and bla bla bla.
The original Wailing Wailers wer: Beverley Kelso, Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer, Junior Braithwaite, and Cherry Smith, formed in 1962. Not exactly a trio. Do your homework people.
smoked like 20 J's a day = not a stoner
LOL
So he was a better man than even the Legend.
I heard the C.I.A sent a person who poisoned him with a nail in his boot when he tried it on. I wonder if that rumor could be true!
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!
Myth about Bob Marley he only got high for religious purposes bulshit. I'm a big Bob Marley document Watcher there's a whole bunch of them. One of the ones I watch where you was at his house on top. He rolls a big spliff and explains the this helps them feel better help some work out and exercise and then he goes and plays soccer. Doesn't really sound religious to me working out and playing soccer not that I'm criticizing the man he was a legend in his own time🎉
He didn't die from cancer he was murdered
So!!!!!!!
That's not London in '73 it's Toronto
Tell us something we dont know. Jeez!
His first name was Robert nesta marley
the music yall used for this video couldnt have been any worse...
02:19 i also thought he smoked "a pound a day"..
A pound a week ?!
Lots of misinformation here...
Grunge you do terrible research. So many lies here. Rita did not have 12 children.
Making a video with false information about the positive and negative impacts of frequencies, when there are scientific studies stating otherwise.. is crazy. Knock it off
wow thats first using pot is for ur faith if u smoke pot ur a pot head period
Nash wanted to propelled his music, so he had Bob marley n wailers write for him. Nash actually didn't do mich for the group, but the group did much for nash, hence why Bob and the Wailers cut ties because it wasnt benefiting them until they met blackwell. Plz knw facts before making a video
And to say his death was 100% preventable is foolish because its cancer its unpredictable in a lot of ways...jus shut up you didn't know him to say such a thing
🇯🇲 Nesta was not a rare name it was fairly common in Jamaica during that tim. Nesta however is a female name.
🇯🇲 Norvel his father was born in Jamaica
🇯🇲 Dispelling myths with require fact. How old was Ziggy and was he around his father during these smoke sessions? 1:14
Yute better shut you home off
Stop it
One of the prevailing myths around Bob Marley is that his father was a white man . I read other biographer that in fact he wasn’t white but he was light skin- black - it’s popular in Caribbean islands to call someone white who isn’t it’s happens in Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 for example calling someone white who is just light skin Black .
What a pointless video this is
snopes is a joke
Bob Marley was assassinated do your research this video just makes people Dumber I've watched dozens of documentaries on Bob Marley this is the worst one ever the most nonsensical non fact-based I have ever seen except for the basic facts😢
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 RUclips 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!
I always believed that Bob Marley was Jamaican, but this video proves otherwise.
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.
