Bob Marley is the most impactful musician of all time
I really believe that brother 💯,his music has impacted the whole planet..
What is it that he did?
@@rubikashree7724 spread love and peace. He fought for equality through music
@@zombie474 don’t forget John Lennon
Freddy Mercury: Am I A Joke To You?
ofcourse he doesnt totally agree with Bob marleys philosophy... Marley was all about the people, freedom, no war, humbleness and revolution for equality and to create a world without discrimination. Bob was a true human being and his lyrics are nothing but the truth.
True dat!
Totally agree on
did he ?? lol well thats a new one!!
+Rick Jones He was about Black Consciousness. He understood oppression that came from the white establishment and felt that if he spread the message through music all people would see the trappings of Babylon Society and stand against it. Bob grew up in Black poverty and was committed to changing it.
+none of your business Bob Marley was steeped in Rastafarian and Black Consciousness. He grew up with the poverty in Trench Town and spoke of going hungry like many Black Jamaicans did. He sang about Black Oppression, Political exploitation and tried to related it's injustice to those who listen to his music, whether white or black. Poverty in Jamaica, America, and certainly mother Africa was always in his lyrics. He did not preach hate nor did his white Blood ever afford him any favors. I was not aware that having white blood ever elevated him in any way. I don't believe he would have ever allowed it to. By his and all other accounts his white family denied his existence. What Marley was is what he told you he was in his music and in his interviews. He never attempted to hide his truth or he would more than likely still be around. He was proud of being Black, and committed to telling the truth and spreading awareness his music which also consisted of Black Revolutionary and anti political language as well as One love.
hes not allowed to agree with bob marley, but secretly he does
Hhhh you got it! He s the president though...
Sad
Michael Jackson + Bod Marley + 2pac = love, peace and happiness! 🙏
Michael Jackson and bob my two idols
first ever music i listen to was michael❤️
Much love
“babylon system is the vampire suckin the blood of the sufferers”. bob marley
One good thing about music when it you feel no pain. Mr Robert Nesta Marley and Me Tupac Amaru Shakur rebelled against the system in different ways but both used the medium of music to get their messages out to the people. Sure Mr Shakur's method was to shock the politicians and yes it perhaps wasn't the best method to use. But if you look beyond the anger and obscenity of his music the message and intent is the same as Mr Marley's. Mr Marley's approach and method was the most peaceful and powerful but the intent was the same. Like Mr Shakur, Mr Marley wanted to reach the people, open their minds and eyes. They both wanted to make a change to the system. A system that was and still is corrupt today. Both were warriors of peace, freedom, equality and justice.
#facts#
Absolutely correct, two sides if the same coin. Both hated social injustice.
Respect
Never make a politician grant you a favor
They will always want to control you forever, eh!
(Forever, forever)
-Bob Marley -Revolution
Bob Marley changed the world not by his music but rather his texts touched people all over the world,especially those who left the organiserd religions but still sought guidance byond the existing religions. Even if you see the rastafarians as a quasi religion it's touched people from all kind off background PRAISE JAH,RAS-TA-FAR-I,EMPEROR HAILLE SELASSIE-I.TRUTH!!! BOBO A SHANTI MOVEMENT ALSO HAS PLACE FOR WHITES,FOR ARE WE NOT ALL AFRICANS IF WE JUST GO BACK ENOUGH.CLOULEUR IS ONLY SKIN DEEP.JAH LOVE &BLESSING TO ALL WHITES WHO PRAISE JAH . BROTHERHOOD OFF MEN.PWACE OUT♡
Bob marley just have something unique. it´s not like the others, when you hear his music is pure passion from the very hearth, other great artists like bob dylan and those.. idk but is something that couldn't compare to marley. Others talk and say things. Bob Marley expresses things, and it's much deeper than that. It is very interesting
Yeah. Bob did speak about Obama he said ''we don't want no devil philosophy' One Drop
I'm gonna quote Bob Marley on this: "Don't let them fool ya,
Or even try to school ya! Oh, no!
We've got a mind of our own,
So go to hell if what you're thinking is not right!
Love would never leave us alone,
A-yin the darkness there must come out to light. " I believe Obama didn't lie, and he actually realised HE is an opressor now.
Bob Marley is just the biggest musical Legend of All time , he is way beyond Music
"not agreeing with his whole philosophy"
all u need hear.
I don't wanna wait in vain for love .i respect Bob Marley to the fullest God bless that man
Or does it go like this maybe ?
I don’t wanna wait in vain for “ your “ love ,
40 years after his death and he still with us today. The Goat.
He once said my riches is life for eva
✊🏾✊🏾Bob is the man he will always be
Like fuck
Bob Marley The Best ! 💚💛❤
I was imagining Obama fangirling over Marley, which I'm glad is not the case. Rasta don't believe abortion. Rasta don't believe in a system that hurts other men and women. Rasta isn't political. Rasta believes in truth and the One Love philosophy. If you can't dig the lifestyle, just leave it alone. It's like how real punks (punk rockers) aren't bad people, real punks are conscious and respectable people. Just like Rastas and His Imperial Majesty. You either deal with the fullness of it or you leave it be.
René Garcia I agree but hes right about one thing. there's no political artists like him he changed the world. times are different now. but Robert Nesta Marely will live forever#inspiritmusic.
René Garcia The Rasta's imperial majesty is just a man who is dead. We live in a rare time where the church is separate from the government. But is this separation for the better? Is Rastafarianism exclusive?
sonofaballer96 Rasta has a certain set of rules, and if one does not agree with them, then they just aren't Rasta. It's exclusive, but that's what separates Rasta from the government. If you believe Haile Selassie is dead, then that's your belief, not mine.
sonofaballer96 I would agree, though, that separation is for the best.
René Garcia
Nuff respect to the comments prior. I believe ur all correct. However, lets not go too deep into this I beg you. The KEY point being,, five short & sweet words of Wisdom which BrotherMan, Soulman Marley sowed,, "Bob Marley Raised my Awareness"
As was & perhaps still is the case inna disya time! Give Thanx & Praise Continually!! One Love Peoples!!
your so right, I been listen to steel pulse and other old school stuff to clear my MIND
U can tell he was a normal honest person at one point. Then he sold his soul.
😢I thought this man would change the world, in sending about Bob , I truly understand Obama was always part of the system .... it’s crazy he stands against everything bob stood for 😢
mi no have no friend inna high society , so mark my identity .. bob marley ..
I love Obama when was in Jamaica the first place he visit was Bob Marley place
"raised my awareness" = made me high
"Politics divide and Rule." -Bob Marley
amen
Bob Marley a true GOAT.. love from NJ
Mr Babylon. Bomboclat! Wicked man.
“I can remember when I was in college , listening ...” All that ran through my head was the Key and Peele skit on Obama getting baked in college hahaaha
Man say what y'all want in the comments, I'm glad we lived in a time where Sway is interviewing the President on national television shouting out Bob Marley.
Bob Marley was such a singer who is still liked by the revolutionary youth of the world.
BOB MARLEY LE PLUS GRAND PATRON DE TOUS LES TEMPS RESPECT À CE GRAND MONSIEUR ! ! ✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌
Bob Marley is the best
fire burn down the styem & politicians.. Bob Marley was not a treat. he is nice humble human being
+Kirven Pascal true....Bob believed all government was illegal.
He surely is not a treat...
Jonathan Smith what a load of bulshit!. And you got 5 people to believe you because they read it in a post on the internet. Yep, Bob was a complete anarchist. LOL!
Mr. Obama said listing to marley music in his college days. He must have been smoking weed too
Obama was heavy weed smoker.
Bob Marley’s up there with Michael Jackson imo
Agree
Chant down Babylon!
Babylon system is the vampire.
That is my favorite song at the moment.
Can't go wrong with anything from that album. By far my favorite Marley album
Nice. Great vibes.
+Joe Bubenz Sucking the blood of the sufferers
"Never make a politician grant you a favor, They will always want to control you forever"- Bob Marley
I miss them dayz
You can set the world on fire in a positive way,
Legalize it
he obviously didn't listen to bob much. bob wanted freedom, jobs were not his worry he was anti government pro personal liberties. bob understood the woes of money
Sway went right for the Bob Marley and Bob Dylan question
Barack Obama is the best thanks happy holidays
he didnt wanna seem like a pot smoking hippie.. you know he jammed Bob while partaking in some herbal consumption. Jah bless
Obama has admitted to smoking weed and doing coke I'm his book lol
there’s pictures of him smoking a joint
If Marley raised his awarness then why ain't weed legal?
Ask the GOP KKK
yes we are. and were doing it early so we don't forget.
The great bob marley was a dread lock rosta lol ...! Praise Yahweh Elohim.
Yep
Bob Marley would refuse to even shake your hand..... Which P.R. team came up with this load of shit ???
Johnny with a Shotgun BOTH BOB AND PETER
And now Bob Marley plays you on the stage of life!
True Bob Marley fans know by listening to him, he knows nothing of Bob's music.
True
Its sad that no one thinks about it like that.
Obama about Marley: Blablabla Blablabla Blablabla
Haile Selassie & Bob Marley LOVE
I have forgotten how good Obama was at saying absolutely nothing. Dances about for minutes without making a definitive comment. Eerily similar to Bill Clinton.
He Throws in Bob Marley for the "young folks"with out agreeing with Bob's philosophy, just in case. Jeez he was good.
Interesting
He is against everything Bob Marley wanted
Youre an ignorant shit unfortunately
Dutch Lee ugggh id disagree!
because he has to ensure the safety of a whole country.
WTF!!!!====???,,,doesnt look like he would.Marley was A PEACE BROTHER,,WHICH HE IS NOT
one love
I and I, learn di meaning.... The fire light already
#thanksobama
If he no agree wit Bobs philosophy,then he no agree with di TRUTH,Bob Marley stands only for TRUTH
Get Up Stand Up came into my heart one day, after going to many churches begging for help and deliverance. I was a homeless addict. The Spirit of Jah delivered! Realise this Jesus turned Jahs living water into wine, killing people everyday.
Is Obama thinking about what to say or is he reading something cause he's lookin down alot?
Obuma obviously wasn’t told that a CIA agent acting as a journalist from america got permission to go into the mountains where Bob was back in Jamaica recording anew album , the agent passed him some converse baseball boots , when he put his foot into one of them he got pricked by a pin that caused the cancer ♋️ that killed him eventually , the agent tells the story on his death bed , he also said that they was behind him getting shot to warn him off from being political , he was trying to promote peace in his time ,RIP Bob Marley , one of the best ever
Barack "We tortured some folks" Obama
Word
I’m from 5 years from this video, basically the future, guys get ready for 2020 nothing good is going to happen
Directly political music gets labeled as politically incorrect by politicians. Some even get called conspiracy theorists.
Indeed Bob Marley WORDS Enlightened you👍 wasn't hard to get it clearly
Yet no one has gone where bob went they are to scared
Well Obviously you haven't heard about CHRONIXX he's becoming somewhat of a replica to Bob...
He's my idol too, Mr. president 🤙🙌
Wake up people, listen to bob not Obama
He doesn't agree with his philosophy? He should...
How could he? Due to the fact that Bob Marley was against the entirety of the system- Babylon.
David Nesta there is no agreement between darkness and light. That's the part Obama can't agree on.
Clearly Obama has never listened to System Of A Down. Revolutionary music will never die.
Bob Marley and that Maui Wowie raised his awareness!
1:08 "...in college, listening and smoking herb..."
He said set the world on a positive fire..... that sounds good but we can better that by saying SET THE WORLD ON LOVE FOR ALL THAT IS..
bob marley raised everyones awareness
R.I.P
Love the gas pipeline ad with the happy-ass music.... tell my town how safe these pipelines are.... we had one explode
I need a typewriter nowadays! Now thats old Skool.....
obama kinda looks like bob marley if he got dreads
Lo felicito señor ex presidente Obama por tener buenas relación con los marley lo re felicito
i wonder if anyone heard something other than 'Bob Marley'. he spoke for fewer than 30 seconds about Bob, and U would think the whole interview was about Obama and Marley. all he said was that Bob's music raised his awareness about some things. that doesn't make him Rasta, or imply that he should be Marley in the White House. it just means he heard the music.
admit it...herb raised your awareness.
reading some of these comments is amazing to me. when you go through the kind of poverty, true poverty, complete lack of education, history both indirectly and directly then I belive you can make your hateful comments. if ANY ONE should have had misguided hatred it was BOB. but what did he do?!! he sang about love, life, mostly all positive with the exception of a few songs but still those songs had a meaning and a reason. A PRETTY damn good reason too. not like most foul mouthed "artists" in our time, especially. I think we could all learn a lot from this man. Obama put it perfect.
I have John Lennon above my bed with Bob down the side ✌❤
Kevin You're prerogative.
Very strange when the driver of the Babylon bandwagon visits Bob’s museum. Bob ended his song (Black survivors ) with the words , strange , strange , strange. I hope Obama did not take a call from the Chairmsn if Goldman Sacks while he was in the museum.
Obama kind of looks like Bob Marley without dreads
I think the music of Bob & the Wailers is words of prophecy I don't agree with all of Bob's beliefs even at the hour of his death some of his beliefs were changed & Bob would not agree with all of my beliefs that's the Power of Free Will Big up to JAH
Is that Eminem with a black wig on at 3:04 😭😭😂😂 he is wrong for that lol
thats wild lmao
IT?
Excellent President!!!
Bob Marley 🇯🇲
I guess Obama never heard of MEGADEATH, GREEN DAY, D C TALK, SERGE, LARRY NORMAN, FRANK & THE SKUNK ALLSTARS OR VOLTAIRE...Not much political music outside of hip-hop? I also noted how he skirted around Bob Marley's "philosophies". Marley started a movement that still goes on today. One Love is helping people around the world. There is plenty of socio-political music out there. Perhaps Washington DC needs a few CDs.
Bob did speak about universities being a part of the system which one should be aware of, it's in the lyrics of Babylon System 'Building church and university. Deceiving the people continually'. He spoke about god being black, too.
