Lee Scratch Perry suggests that the Legendary Bob Marley took cocaine

[@BISON-ALLIANCE]

Scratch speaks in riddles he was on another level

[@johannesgent1950]

I think scratch perry means that bob want to be famous (god) and the cocaine thing is like a synonym for that bob marley get out of control because he grows bigger. Lee scratch perry didn't want to be so famous like bob wants in that time. This would be my translation about what he said with the cocaine.

Lee Scratch Perry is a brilliant song writer and music producer and I have much love for him. However, it's difficult to escape the thought jealousy may have motivated his stunning accusation of Bob Marley.

[@zonashi8645]

This makes me believe “disco devil” was him venting his disagreement about coke with bob. He says the lyric “you can’t temp jah men with cocain, go head give it to the pope, make him pay with dope”. I’m assuming he’s alluding to bob as the pope. This was around the time exodus came out and bob had just hit it big. Seems like lee felt he abandoned him. Kinda sad. I’m sure he was like a big brother to bob at a time. No big brother wants to see their little brother dive into substances.

[@richardstephan9342]

They were close no doubt, he's really the 4th original Wailer, the tracks they laid down are timeless. Scratch was there in the beginning of beginning & again later in life, he helped Bob conquer his duppy perhaps cocaine was his duppy. He says he gave Bob Punky Reggae Party, Duppy Conqueror & a few others. Personally I believe there's truth in what he says & that he liked to blow it up , or embellish to get a rise out of people & make us think.

[@Yehyeh2]

They weren't close ...the mouth says anything...he sold the rights to the wailers songs and from that they are no longer friends...lee says he was happy the cancer humble him ..trench town rock according to lee they were throwing shades at him

That man looks like a crazy,mad and duppy!!! Lee scratch makes no sense when he speaks, no more than an idiot!!! This doesn't mean that I hold Bob Marley in any high esteem, even if I like his music. The more I listen about Bob Marley and from some of the statements from some of his children, I'm getting convinced that he was a gimmick!!! An artist/musician affiliated with deceased Joseph Hill of Culture, told me that Joseph Hill told him that Bob Marley took cocaine.

Many Jamaican artists, especially from the 70’s and 80’s used cocaine. Gregory Isaac was a coke head. I actually did coke with Eekamouse here in NY after his set was finished.

Looking back @ this man in past years, he appears to have always been a little crazy. I feel like he was jealous of Bob. He wants to be so critical of Bob but failed to mention how he took the music he did with Bob and sold it in England. I listened to an interview by one of the Wailers that spoke of this.
