obviously you have never been acquainted with the real Marley, and are only familiar with the commercial version, however trenchtown is no joke thing, and in JA rebel music is fe real, and in the streets here, it is equally appropriate..
this is street music, and if non-street folks happen to enjoy it, so be it, but how could that discredit things?
when you walk in the rain skirting the one-times paranoid to have to chuck your little stock of herb for nothing more than some asshole with a badge and his roadblock curfew..
when you trod the streets as a natty dreadlock and get treated as dreadfully as your appearance would suggest..
when you deal with the anger and frustration of the hungry, while them belly full across town..
well, then, if the middle class trust fund kids can't relate thats fine, but we the street people understand the vibe entirely, and this indeed is ya rebel music, but it comes in such a sweet riddim that even the conservatives can feel it.. unity is strength.
judge the art, not the AR people.
