I think scratch perry means that bob want to be famous (god) and the cocaine thing is like a synonym for that bob marley get out of control because he grows bigger. Lee scratch perry didn't want to be so famous like bob wants in that time. This would be my translation about what he said with the cocaine.
Fitness,real talk, coke,lsd,opium,it was one of the agenda, which,they use the beatles, music group,and rock n roll,to push it,to destroy, people,wise mine bro.
He said it himself. If you know Bob and you know his music, he's certainly came right out and said it. I went downtown I saw Miss Brown She had brown sugar All over her booga-wooga I think I might join the fun But I had to hit and run See I just can't settle down In a kinky part of town Kinky Reggae.
Lee Scratch Perry is a brilliant song writer and music producer and I have much love for him. However, it's difficult to escape the thought jealousy may have motivated his stunning accusation of Bob Marley.
This makes me believe “disco devil” was him venting his disagreement about coke with bob. He says the lyric “you can’t temp jah men with cocain, go head give it to the pope, make him pay with dope”. I’m assuming he’s alluding to bob as the pope. This was around the time exodus came out and bob had just hit it big. Seems like lee felt he abandoned him. Kinda sad. I’m sure he was like a big brother to bob at a time. No big brother wants to see their little brother dive into substances.
Many Jamaican artists, especially from the 70’s and 80’s used cocaine. Gregory Isaac was a coke head. I actually did coke with Eekamouse here in NY after his set was finished.

They were close no doubt, he's really the 4th original Wailer, the tracks they laid down are timeless. Scratch was there in the beginning of beginning & again later in life, he helped Bob conquer his duppy perhaps cocaine was his duppy. He says he gave Bob Punky Reggae Party, Duppy Conqueror & a few others. Personally I believe there's truth in what he says & that he liked to blow it up , or embellish to get a rise out of people & make us think.
They weren't close ...the mouth says anything...he sold the rights to the wailers songs and from that they are no longer friends...lee says he was happy the cancer humble him ..trench town rock according to lee they were throwing shades at him
That man looks like a crazy,mad and duppy!!! Lee scratch makes no sense when he speaks, no more than an idiot!!! This doesn't mean that I hold Bob Marley in any high esteem, even if I like his music. The more I listen about Bob Marley and from some of the statements from some of his children, I'm getting convinced that he was a gimmick!!! An artist/musician affiliated with deceased Joseph Hill of Culture, told me that Joseph Hill told him that Bob Marley took cocaine.
,...and you think ,.. ( this ) man is Mad ,..? If you only realize how Significant this interview is , ... And I am not just talking about the Cocaine use.. because at this point every one knows....DEEP INTERVIEW.. I AM gonna watch it again and again....
Yeah, it's good to see lee give it a rest. It's amazing that when a man is considered famous, how much crap we accept from them as we follow blindly. Bob had his own gifts like everyone else and we don't have to try and take away his to prosper our own. I look to God and Bob did too and that makes the difference.
Love him(LSP) muzic……I could definitely be wrong,Bob is ah man Suh if him use Coke no surprise,still I Neva hear Bunny,Peter,Rita,Marcia,Judith,NUH ah di band members mentioned anything like that….
Looking back @ this man in past years, he appears to have always been a little crazy. I feel like he was jealous of Bob. He wants to be so critical of Bob but failed to mention how he took the music he did with Bob and sold it in England. I listened to an interview by one of the Wailers that spoke of this.
Lee Perry is merely ranting as an eccentric old man! Marley was a simple man! Not saying whether he took cocaine or not ! But Bob Marley was the greatest musician out of Jamaica! Period! Like Marley himself sang 🎼 “ Good friends we ‘ave oh good friends we’ve lost…along the way “! Perry was a friend he lost along the way! I wouldn’t put but a pinch of salt to his eccentric rantings here!!
I just finished watching another interview with him where he keeps saying he don't smoke and God don't like you to destroy your lungs. He went on about cigarettes being a Sin. But here he is smoking...
In the book from Rita Marley "No woman No cry" there is a part where Rita tells that they get invited in someones house and there both get a pill of some kind a drug. Maybe it's true but idk.
I struggled to make sense of some things he said in this interview, he doesn’t seem like he’s all there does he? The way he even talks makes you wonder how true his words are. Talking about programming Bob from death, who in their right mind would say that?
Bob was invited by some friends to try it , I think Jaggar was one of them , bob try it once by taking little and never try it again . He wrote the song kincky reaggae about this inciedent .
If you meet this guy in the streets,and you dont know its lee scratch perry wont you kinda say,"look at dem old mad man",he looks like a mad man with side mirrors on his cap,this is what excessive ganja do to you.
When you are looking with the spiritual eyes u can't see what's going on....then you said people are mad... madness is a state when the mind is dead ... the mind is dead when it believe lies...truth is life and light to a mind that is spiritual.
I heard about Bob Marley & cocaine years ago. His Manager Don Taylor in his book 'Marley & Me' mentioned Ziggy walking in on Bob with white stuff on his nose. And Bob said 'Is powder'
I think scratch perry means that bob want to be famous (god) and the cocaine thing is like a synonym for that bob marley get out of control because he grows bigger. Lee scratch perry didn't want to be so famous like bob wants in that time. This would be my translation about what he said with the cocaine
It’s not really relevant,Bob was a prince among men,there was a line of people a mile long out of his hope rd residence with them hand out,the man never refuse anyone,he was a saintly person,god rest him in peace,he wasn’t the only one to get caught up with the devils dandruff,he was only a human being.
Kern Spencer must stop press the man for negativity. Every one knows lee Perry is not too collective!! Please leave the legendary Bob Marley alone and stop digging up dirt on him!! You bloggers will do anything for views!! Go find some other “bright” idea!! 💡
Look, he’s just being honest, you can see it in his eyes, his movements, you never lived with bob marley like that man has. Who are you to say? Tell me, look into real History and try to find one horrible fact about a hero of yours. Seriously, go take a look fr.
Lee Perry is not too collective. You must be an absolute idiot. He produced some of the best music to come out of Jamaica. Including Bob and the wailers. He doesn't get a mention in most of these albums because he was just making music with friends but do Yr research before being so critical.
Nuff a unu feel a foolishness the elder a talk but unu bo have no wisdom so unu shall know hear the breda say don't take cocaine unu beat listen wise words and stop play fool
Jah army ... jah nah partial ... the wages of sin is death ... yah has no partners n is not the messiah or ever walked earth as a physical man... #12TribeTing 🐺🦁👑🙌🏽🔥👹🦝🐍🔥
But why he didn't say it when Bob was around. It was Destiny. He came he did the work and he finish. And the man gone home. Bob is the world greatest. Me a tell you mankind no easy. The man dead and hear what you saying. Most people in show bus take coke. That not anything new. Run way .
It's not good to speak ill of the dead as they cannot defend themselves I am sure Bob had flaws but it's not classy to start speaking bout them now let him rest in peace
I think he's referring to cocaine in a different form. Like maybe cocaine is a term to him for the devil.. He's not talking about the drug cocaine he's just using that word to describe the bad in fame.

Scratch speaks in riddles he was on another level
I think scratch perry means that bob want to be famous (god) and the cocaine thing is like a synonym for that bob marley get out of control because he grows bigger.
Lee scratch perry didn't want to be so famous like bob wants in that time.
This would be my translation about what he said with the cocaine.
Many reggae artist tried coke, especially when they got around the rock n roll scene.
Fitness,real talk, coke,lsd,opium,it was one of the agenda, which,they use the beatles, music group,and rock n roll,to push it,to destroy, people,wise mine bro.
That's how they killed our Genius and Artists...seduce them we illicit drugs and white woman...
Exactly right. I did blow with Eekamouse at a concert here in NY once.
Who doesn’t know this ?? Takes nothing away from BOB HE TOOK CARE OF PEOPLE THE GOOD AND THE WORST OF THE WORST.
No
Lee Scratch is on POINT.
Watched some other interviews of him and he sounds really coherent in this one. The eyes never lie
Love Lee Scratch Perry ❤
I heard this cocaine stories back in 1979 from a band member. Old news
Heard it in jail from an elder from trenchtown years ago. Said Bob was the first person he ever saw use cocaine back in the 70s
Everyone who study the history of reggae know that Bob did coke, no man is perfect, "to err is to be human, but forgiveness is devine" Alexander pope.
He said it himself. If you know Bob and you know his music, he's certainly came right out and said it.
I went downtown
I saw Miss Brown
She had brown sugar
All over her booga-wooga
I think I might join the fun
But I had to hit and run
See I just can't settle down
In a kinky part of town
Kinky Reggae.
Lee Scratch Perry is a brilliant song writer and music producer and I have much love for him. However, it's difficult to escape the thought jealousy may have motivated his stunning accusation of Bob Marley.
Exactly. I trust God, only He is good.
....it's like saying James Brown was jealous of MJ--Impossible
This man is one of a kind, everything on this Earth comes with his Own spirit, Red stripe beer, cocaine, herb ect, God bless this man
She love to party, have a good time
She looks so hearty, feeling fine
She loves to smoke, sometime shiftin' coke
Pimpers Paradise - Bob Marley
and what does that have to do with the video ?
She’ll be laughing when there ain’t no joke! A Pimpers Paradise. That’s all she was nowww
Have I understood him correctly: "He want to be god but god don"t take cocaine?"
Wise man Lee
Bob Marley does have immortal spirit ❤

I know a lawyer named Cherlin ..he did coke with Bob and Dennis brown ..
Wouldnt doubt it. Everyone did it at that time. Im sure he even believed coke was from jah since its from the coca plant
3:19 "He's saying a lot, he's saying a lot, he's saying a lot!"
Nice to hear Scratch speaking with a fellow Jamaican. Never thought of Bob Marley in connection with anything like cocaine.
Many Jamaican artists, especially from the 70’s and 80’s used cocaine. Gregory Isaac was a coke head. I actually did coke with Eekamouse here in NY after his set was finished.
I've heard that before that Bob Marley used cocaine
Once he was invited and tryied it , he refused it and wrote kincky reaggae song about it but never touch again .
Perry era uma figura de outro planeta hahahaha
Some drugs are just tools like everything in life we use them for benefit and to figure our own spirit just don’t abuse them ❤ you can learn lots
Rest in paradise
When you think about it,bob had never said a word about cocaine but loads about my favorite drink 🍻

Ziggy said he saw Bob put white powder in his nose and when he asked his dad said it was crushed asprin

Red Stripe is the best beer in Jamaica.
Sure,it’s the only Jamaican beer
Also Dennis Brown and Gregory Issacs took the coke too but there still beat singers
“Don’t be a dopey.”- Lee Scratch Perry
Words of wise man.
its duppy..aka ghost
@@petg9292 who makes say that ?
@@petg9292 He was referring to smoking weed for 45 years and being a “dopey” losing his mind for awhile he mention on here.
Yet, marijuana is dope.
He said duppy. They are evil spirits. Refer to the song Bob did with Scratch “Duppy Conquerer”
Unu leave bob alone. At least no one could ever say he did crack. Rip king marley. Thanks for the great music !!
it's the truth 😳
I’m sure he tried freebase. Who cares anyway.

Not really, but all "stars" & those who thought them are 😁
I Dont believe this but Nobody is perfect and Even if its true is Bob Marley now a Bad Person ? Not to me
Don taylor wrote that in his book Marley and me.
@@Makonen442 Don Taylor was a crook
@@ronnybueller even if he was a crook. He wrote that in the book.
My friend aunt is from Kingston and she told me this to

If this is new to anybody well then,this is nothing new.
Ah maas Charley Ah maas Charley
Bipolar...ganja mash him up. Confusing soul.
I just finished watching another interview with him where he keeps saying he don't smoke and God don't like you to destroy your lungs. He went on about cigarettes being a Sin. But here he is smoking...
Smoking sensi, not tobacco.
Smoking WEED! (Marijuana) NOT CIGARETTE
Weed make you swift and fast !
He’s smoking yes but that’s weed not cigarettes
So true. Only one God.
a nuh de first time mi a hear dis yah. mi hope seh it a lie, but mi nuh grow up a yard ina dem time deh
Maybe it's true because he had unusual energy at the one love peace concert . just see that Vedio you see his behaviour .
Let me tell you . most people in show bus take coke. So that not anything new. Bob is the world greatest. Rastiafari live.
RIP

And So what He who is without sin then cast the first stone !!!!
He was not a saints,the only saint is Christ,all believers from there one point in theyr life still had to sin.
If you meet this guy in the streets,and you dont know its lee scratch perry wont you kinda say,"look at dem old mad man",he looks like a mad man with side mirrors on his cap,this is what excessive ganja do to you.

Lol
He literally said “dont sniff cocaine” lol
well he is dead now but at the time when he was alive why bring up things like this old crook
All I can say is that some people need not being interview, what a clown!
This guy is mad who says that to i and i
Lee Scratch need a therapist😂
Everyone was and is jealous of the king Bob Marley .
What a sap!
He was jealous of Bob marley
The Upsetters are one of the most amazing sounds I've heard and they're in my constant rotation. I don't listen to Marley. Kind of bland.
