    In this clip, Damian Marley discusses how his parents met and the untimely death of his iconic father, Bob Marley. Damian recalls early moments of his childhood with his older siblings and reflects on how those relationships were fostered. He also reveals the origin of his nickname Jr. Gong, and how dancehall music deeply influenced his style of music today. While unpacking the backstory to his second album, Halfway Tree, Marley goes in depth about how oppression and social inequity dominates his music. He talks about how his life, though privileged, lay at the crux of the "Halfway Tree" which divided Damian's town in Jamaica along class lines.

      @@swahilimandela5610 what's his mother got to do with him? Because his mother is pale skinned, beggers in Jamaica will follow behind you and constantly beg and after a while it begins to annoy you if you cant even walk down the road without someone begging 15-20 times each day. The Bible says it's a sin to beg and those who dont work wont eat. Imagine if 30 people begged her something every time each day, how would she even feed herself?
      I dont think you understand how Jamaicans think, but the beggars are worse and most Jamaicans think that even the very shoes on your feet you must take them off and give them to someone straightaway if someone asks you for them just because they think you can buy another pair the same day. Some Jamaicans can be very self-absorbed that way.
      I was at a funeral in Jamaica last month and was wearing goloshes/wellington/water boots and a woman was looking at them and saying 'oh your feet are really small, much smaller than mine' meaning if my feet were the same size as hers or bigger she would have asked me for the boots I had on and be expected to have them straight away otherwise she would have cussed me and called me a 'mean english' to shame me, or 'you live in England, you can always buy another pair' etc.
      These are the things Jamaicans do to shame and beg and embarrass you when they *think* you have more than them just because you live overseas. They wont do it to the tourists anymore because they know the police will lock them up if a tourist complains about beggars, that's why tourists dont have that happen to them.
      I have seen the nasty covetous behaviour in Jamaica and it becomes draining after a while, even family members will do it. why do you think most of the younger Marleys dont live there?
      THAT is why Cindy cussed off the beggar, because if you give to one, they will brag to other beggars and those other beggars will come to beg when they see them running errands too. I have seen beggars only walk up to light-skinned people in Jamaica, because they assume light/pale-skinned people are rich and some are rude enough to even tap their shoulder and they know they cant to that to dark-skinned Jamaicans.

    Damion grew up in upper class suburbia with Cindy and her first husband, a politician with the Jamaica Labour Party. He did not start performing with Bob's children with Rita, but with his social peers (children of his mother and step father's friends.) Dancehall was the big influence on youngsters of all classes, including the gentry. While there were conscious DJs who advocated morals, Damion started out imitating Shabba Ranks' cocksman genre, and deejayed about his father (Bob) being a Bedroom Bully. When he started to work with Stephen Marley, his lyrics changed and became more socially critical, and Stephen's excellent production helped make him a star.

      because when Rita cheated on Bob many times and got pregnant twice, Bob took on her children as his, that's why she took all his sons as 'hers'. Even on Bob's sickbed Rita was cheating and was pregnant again as soon as Bob died. Most of Bob's money went to in trust funds for his children after his death, so Rita didnt have much to live on and had to go back to singing make ends meet

      Cindy was not 'pushy' at all, Bob pushed his way inter her life, nagging her for 3 years to date him while she was STILL going to school and telling her he wasnt married, Bob didnt want Rita anymore and when he asked for a divorce she told him he would never see their children again and that stopped him. When she was 6 months pregnant someone told her he is still married and she was in shock. As Damian himself said, HIS OLDER BROTHERS came for him at this mother's parents home and took him out with them and that's how they ALL became close and the mothers all said ok it will be good for them to know their siblings.
      Even the children born in England travelled to Jamaica to spend time during the summer holidays until they left school and got the chance to live in Jamaica with them as young adults. All this info is in interviews that all the brothers have given over the years if you care to search and not be judgemental.
      Rita was always cheating on Bob and even cheated with Bob while she was with another man. She got pregnant for her lovers twice and Bob took on the children as his even though not his biologically, so Rita had no 'struggles' to contend with and was always playing the victim card when she refused sex with Bob and he went for it elsewhere, she's nothing but an old worn-out wh*%e.
