If there was just one of his songs that truly epitomizes the current state of the world, that would be Ride Natty Ride.
Everyone here needs to just listen to it once w/ lyrics.
I am not saying Bob Marley is prophetic, but those lyrics from this obscure late 70s song punch a whole lot deeper in the 2020s. Bob Marley was BASED, just in his own way. And when you start researching the Rasta meanings of Zion vs. Babylon, it gets even weirder. There is stuff there that the causal music fan just won't see.
But Bob most definitely knew...
The man definitely was in tune with something... Cheers fren...
I'm based in my own way too. I know a ton of people that are seriously BASED, but you wouldn't know it because it's their own way.
Most of the Jamaicans that make it to the US are based. Old Wayan's show Living Color had a regular bit called Ey Mon about a Jamaican family. Criticized anyone not having more than 2 jobs. "You lazee ting, you need 3 job at least, no, 4 job. How you get by?".
I didn't take that as a criticism of the lazy, but a gripe that it can take 4 jobs just to "get by". Working 4 jobs because that's what you have to do to get by is not something anyone should strive for or accept as normal. I think Bob would know that. I interpret the song differently.
I bet you're a lot of fun at parties.
Right? Haha.
