It's just something about that Bob Marley Bloodline⚘Jah Rastafarian 🍃⚘🍃⚘⚘⚘🍃

[@joylinyates9544]

I have to meet Julian. That energy through the phone doesn’t lie. JAH bless

[@renatazalucka7975]

I've seen many Bob Marley and his sons interviews and I can truthfully say from my observation Julian uses same gestures as Bob...but all sons (including Kymani) youse same wisdom and perfection on giving an interview... Bless all of them

[@lornagarvey2848]

What....

[@Onyi810]

Yes Kymani is very wise

[@yochananbenyahuah2983]

@Island Mike you are very wrong. I don't know about the others,but Ziggy, Stephen, and Damian are very generous and support Jamaica to the fullest.

[@hemigod2]

They're not making Bob's moneyThe living off of it the living off of it. So this is why they can't be so generous. Album sales are not what are used to be when Bob was alive newark at any of them ever generate because he was original.

[@vwalker58]

@Island Mike Really?!😨 Rohan does not give? Julian, Stephen and Damian gives to their organizations; Julian just stated in Africa, Haiti and Jamaica.

[@joylinyates9544]

Julian is like Bob in spirit and energy wise. Like a different body but same soul. I use to think Ziggy was the twin but the more I look at him, listen and watch the gestures…sheesh!! Bob reincarnated into Julian. The eyes are the way to the souls and his eyes!!! It’s Bob!

[@tylerthomas6235]

Bob was more shy like Robbie tho

[@stevenpenilla-es1ke]

So bob reincarnated into his sons while he was alive?

[@tylerthomas6235]

Ziggy is the twin Stephen sounds like him the most Julian has his dance moves Damian is the most talented of Bob’s seeds even tho there’s more brothers Rohan has the most wisdom Robbie has the shyness Idk about Kymani

[@yoshe2002]

Looks just like Bob !!! One Love Julian

Blessed man, carrying a blessed bloodline and message, we are lucky to be born in a time where we're able to listen to great voices and bringers of truth. He, his brothers and his father mean a lot to me, especially for a child like me that had no upbringing and no proper parental figures, thank you Julian for being here for me and for everything your words and music thought me and made me feel.

[@isaacnjuguna9117]

You just said my words. I love this house of marley. @julianrmarley

[@may5588]

Nice interview. What I like best about the Marleys is the way they treat each other and help the young ones coming up. They share their gifts and teach. And of course the music is lovely. 🦋🙏

[@teezyk5745]

Reggae genre has many great artists but these marley boys stand out. 🔥👌🏾

[@rodneydockrill604]

Brother Julian Marley your music up lifting inspiration thank you for your wonderful reggae music, Jah bless Rastafari

[@angellove2405]

Julian Marley much of your music move me deeply so much of it relates to my life and what I am going through at the time, your lyrics are true to the life struggles of the poor and oppressed. It gives me hope and brings me joy! I hear the Most high in your words and that is why it is uplifting and positive. I am so happy your in this world keep the positive vibes up my Brother. Because for us as a people is what you said "Straighter roads are up ahead ......"

[@patricktaylor5346]

I have been a fan of Bob in the beginning always I love to hear your Album only one way to reggae reggae till you are satisfied one love

[@soleilpapillons]

why are people obsessed with figuring out if he is putting on a jamaican accent? in england, and canada you have non carribean folks saying "respect" and "wha gwahn" and apparently "putting on" jamaican accents too because of the influx of jamaican immigrants and subsequent passing on of jamaican slang into non caribbean circles. yet when white brits and canadians take on the jamaican accent and form reggae bands...no one is saying they are culture vultures. at the end of the day julian is jamaican with tons of born and bred yard family hence jamaican patois is a part of his vocal fabric. my jamaican grand aunty went all over from canada to england and straight back to jamaica and has her jamaican accent. stop treating jamaica as a gimmick and just accept what it is. I was born in the united states, but raised immersed in jamaican patois from my parents who are jamaican immigrants. i speak like a yardie when mi feel and like a new england new caster when mi feel too. so just accept and stop trying to de mask. it is life.

[@moesizlack7032]

People are stupid he may not have lived in jamaica from birth but he is jamaican and he still had to be around his family

[@YT_PurgeShorts]

Yh I was born in England, but both my parents are Jamaican and I'd like to say I'm jamaican I accept it more than being British I love it, I know I'm not jamaican by birth just like julian but all my siblings are born in Jamaica besides me and my younger sister.

He has to be in tune with his roots, Faith and Jamaica 😀

[@TheQuietTusky]

@Emeka Ukwu because he also spent a lot of time in Jamaica , even his brothers and nephew said everything and everyone around them is Jamiacan no matter where they were born their parents made sure of it

[@jamelsweden9322]

am pretty sure, Julian use to speak with a west London accent before he decided to incorporate or decided to speak like his late dad(Bob Marley) Julian was born in West london, spent 17 years in West London. am sure he knows what cor blimey means lol.

[@MrMystri]

Jamel Sweden I agree....seems like most of them are all trying to imitate their father! His jA accent don’t even sound authentic

[@jamelsweden9322]

@@MrMystri absolutely bro, the reggae band aswad are from England and they had an authentic sound and they all spoke with a west London accent but still they are well loved and respected all over the world, no need to have a jafakan accent, the only marley with an authentic Jamaican accent is Ziggy marley and Stephen marley, they were born and raised there, the rest of the Marley brothers were born in Europe and America, Julian changed his accent overnight it seems. Smh
