Bob Marley’s Legacy Is Going Up In Cannabis Smoke? by Nobody: 10:27am On Nov 20, 2014 |
The king of reggae’s majestic music has long battled the ‘bong beats’ tag but now he will be best known as a standard-bearer for dopeheads worldwide |

Interesting piece by Dotun Adebayo, and a rejoinder to this article: http://www.theguardian.com/music/2014/nov/18/bob-marley-marijuana-herb Despite the greatness of Bob Marley, it's just a pity that opportunists will always try to make cheap gains, by using his name and face to sell a lifestyle. And not his message. They did the same to Tupac, and I think Fela Kuti also gets a lot of bad rap from Nigerians. When are black folks going to respecting their true legends and stop being shallow-minded? We're the most fvcked up people on this planet. Anyway, let me celebrate the great one with this great tune. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrY9eHkXTa4 |

FFuck y'all. Marijuana is a multi-BILLION dollar industry in the United States and in Europe, specifically Holland, so who the ffuck are you to tell Bob Marley's family that you don't approve of them cashing in by lending the name of the reggae great to some brands of weed ? Whether you prudes like it or not, Bob Marley's family are set to rake in SERIOUS multi million dollar cash profits from this wise and lucrative venture, and there isn't a damn thing you or any other finger-wagging poke-nosing fools can do to stop it. The world has turned and left a whole bunch of ignoramuses behind to scratch their empty heads and wonder what the ffuck happened to the old, outdated ways now already consigned to the dustbin of history. Finally, in case none of y'all do any reading outside of this forum, marijuana has been scientifically proven to have enormous medical benefits for ailments ranging from cancer, to appetite enhancement for chemo-therapy patients, glaucoma relief, pain relief and insomnia, to name but a few. It wouldn't be in the least bit surprising to find out that most of the folks screaming that weed is bad are themselves drunks and cigarette smokers, whose lives will be truncated by decades, on account of their addiction to those two nasty poisons that have ZERO medical benefit. Again, in case you missed the first suggestion, may I just say one more time with due respect - FFuck y'all. |

You're not a fan if you can't see beyond the music, Gong was a dope head, but that is not his entire representation. He is the best human to ever make music, he's real, you can't separate his kaya from him, but that's not his entirety. |

You are right |

It's unfortunate our music masters have to be reduced to ignominy like this but then again their lifestyles left alot to be desired. Fela's music is some of the best musical compositions to come out of Nigeria but his lifestyle made me hate it for a long while until I was able to look past my sentiments and see it for what it is, the work of a maestro. The redemption should have come from the holders of their legacy. I pray this kind of misuse won't be given to Fela's music. |
