Marley was more philosophical and famous but Dube was a better singer/vocalist....his drummers and guitarist were probably better too..

Bob Marley without doubt

No question. LUCKY DUBE. Lyrically, he was boss.
Even Bob Marley can't match the message in his lyrics.


Before u quote me know this: I have about 55 gig of songs , featuring over 450 artists from a diverse range like reggae,soul, pop, hip hop, metal rock, pop rock, country, bluegrass,indie rock, hard rock, horror rap,blues, goth, rock n roll etc., and I have albums relesed from1950s up to even last week.

It doesn't make it reggae, does it. You can't classify Vybz Kartel or Movado as reggae artists because dancehall is a sub genre of reggae.

Lucky Dube is not fit to lace Bob Marley's shoes when it comes to lyrical prowess in reggae. Don't say this anywhere you will disgrace yourself

Terror Fabulous, Buju Banton, Shabba Ranks, Capleton, Sizzla, Yellow man and Anthony B are all dancehall artists and not reggae artists.

I beg to differ, the names mentioned are reggae artist because REGGAE is the Main Genre, while it has sub genres like Roots Rock, Dancehall, Dub Poetry, Lovers Rock, Reggaeton, Rocksteady etc.

so NinjaMan is Reggae artist same way Chronixx is a Reggae just that Ninja belongs to the dancehall subgenre while Chronixx is of the Roots Rock genre
