    did he cure the black plague or something? marley music is just a phase imo, a phase some ppl never grow out of - once you find better music its like schwag vs dank

    Kiddo,

    You don't know what the hell you're talking about.

    Bob Marley is the voice of an entire people. Bob Marley (together with Jimmy Cliff, Peter Tosh, and others) brought the wonders of reggae music to Western culture.

    People like Bobby for the ganja, Bobby wasn't just about the ganja. Hell, he wasn't even mostly about the ganja. Bobby was for rights, for justice... his music can give anyone hope. Plus, there is lyrical and musical genius in many of his songs.

    You really do own Bobby a good listen, and not just listening to Legend. Those are some harsh words coming out of your mouth.

    yea but its just like south park ep die hippies die, so what if he mentioned the worlds problems, the corrupt law force, the herb and the mysticism of our lives < he just mentioned them - he didnt really fix any of these problems. and fine if you like marley music, i dont care - but most ppl that wear his t shirts and all that shitty crap do so since he smoked pot and so did they.

    Bob changed a lot of and inspired even more.

    No music or musician can actually go out there and fix the world... that doesn't mean that you should discredit them as musicians. Doing that is just plain stupid.

    People who wear Bob Marley t-shirts are not Bob Marley fans. Bob Marley would have never had Babylon profit off shit like this.

    mr. greenxxx. can you name one musician that you like that has changed the world?
    Marley was and is an inspiration to many people AROUND the world, not many other musicians can say that. his music is both easy to listen to and influential. he deserves a holiday.

    no, thats precisely what i mean, stop praising him like the reason of life. i listen to many musicians daily, many insparational < but i dont treat them like some sort of miracle the way stoners do with marley. you people really need to look at him from a different view, not the wow this guy has trippy beats that make me want to play reggae.

    personally i find some of his music calming and and relaxing, but this goes for alot of music.

    so if you do find some of his music calming and relaxing, why hate? what's the purpose? why even post in this thread if all you are going to do is hate against a dead Reggae artist that many of us find inspirational, I do not hate against the artists you find inspirational...

    stop talking gangsta, im not 'hatin' on ur 50 cent or anything. im expressing the fact that in my oppinion, marley isnt a huge deal. you dont get people celebrating the first man in space, the creator of the first movie, or thomas edison or even einstein - who actually changed alot, yet you want a holiday for some measly pothead musician.

    oh and the reason i post...
    well i dont know why it isnt obvious...

    this is a discussion forum, what we are doing now is debating and arguing < contrary to belief this is not a bad thing, oppinions are expressed and some things are learned, ofc you will find that out when ur like 40 or something =)

    wow, you have no sense whatsoever, the reason for a discussion forum is to discuss, and where do you get off calling me a gangsta? I believe that your immaturity has spoken for itself, you have now proved the point that you are not yet mature enough to be a member of hipforums.com. Just because you dont appreciate someone doesnt mean other shouldnt keep your foolish ideals to yourself... you have no argument, you only spew stupidity.

    edit: bwahahaha, I just realized you didnt answer a single question I asked of you, where is your argument? if this is to argue, then you are very poor at it.
