Those are the words of Lucky Dube 🇿🇦 may he rest in peace and rise in glory.

[@youngerc]

I’m going to use this as the theme for my radio show on NPR next week, with your blessing.

[@brianmitchell8479]

You should do one for Reggae Stars assassinated in the 1990"s. You should have mentioned on the 1980's list Fathead who was killed in 1988 in Miami he used to DJ with Yellowman.

[@Mr-DowNBeat]

Little Harry says that Fathead is still alive

[@damajah]

Long live Fathead and the man called Michael Irie

[@rogermansour6085]

Let's not forget Junior Braitwaite from the original WAILERS who was killed in Kingston after his return to Jamaica. He had been living in Chicago, Illinois where he had sang with the New Era Reggae band and introduced Reggae to Chicago at a club called the Wild hare. He was my good friend and I was his manager. RIP Evangelist Roger Mansour

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. However, he was featured in this episode kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGK5XqypZ6aSobM

It is so sad that reggae music, arguably the best music in the world, has been blighted by the scourge of violence taking the lives of so many great artists, often at the peak of their artistic powers.

[@michelleedwards346]

Nothing to do with the genre. The majority of these deaths were due to the activities of the artist away from the microphone.

[@adamougarba1621]

RIP FOR THESE REGGAE SOULS. BIG UP RAS DENNIS FOR REMENDING THEIR CAREERS.

[@reggaegistxtra_ng]

Nuff Respek!

[@matslakk]

rip general echo the best dj of all time

[@damajah]

Tragic loss.. great man

[@dennispinnock301]

General Echo was indeed a great artist. If he had lived, he would have brought Stereophonic here to London. The first yard sound to come to the UK was Ray Symbolic. I often think how we were robbed of Echo's great talent.

[@utregsoulnorh715]

Gone but not forgotten....Jah Bless

[@ingriddouglas408]

Lots of talent taken away from people who worked so hard to master their craft. Bob Marley’s drummer’s death 🪘 hit me hard, the people who are closest to us hurt us the most, in his case she killed him.

[@bernardthuo2455]

Yeah, his other half killed him and escaped justice but she will never escape guilt

[@lancecohen4079]

Damn! All the LEGENDS!!! BIG UP! This is important to discuss but shit...what a downer video!

[@tb22k]

Best song ❤

[@westyraviz]

Sometimes I don’t know why we black folk do this to one another. From Africa, to America, to the Caribbean. Wherever our people are, we cannibalize each other.

[@JimmyCrackCorn_]

All the way truth. My heart cries for our people. We unalive our greatest men!!

[@alanfletcher9698]

Theirs no Unity in any Race. War in Jerusalem. War in Ukraine. Hatred seems to be getting Worse . What's Happening Mankind

[@sealie15]

Pink people NEVER brought us to the Americas they are a minority on the planet which makes it logistically IMPOSSIBLE to move the original and dominant peoples anywhere 🤨

[@WilliamsonJermaine-jl6lu]

So true

[@aframaco9491]

We don't have such rabid violent actions in the Nigerian Afrobeats industry!!! And no nation is more Blacker than Nigeria! 👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬!!

[@vinjerojuwa4134]

Rest but not forgotten keep resting in Zion

[@jr.rasentertainment4074]

It was a time when reggae was becoming the biggest revolution

[@DJGG8205]

One or two artists got caught up in badness but most were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. RIEP to all the legends.

[@GanGztaGriZZle9684]

Bang involve inna carlton killing in orange grove Bang involve inna peter tosh killing😢

[@deijjohnson8720]

Its so sad do many talented people have lost their lives in the Jamaican music scene. Too much enviousness And corruption.plus the music is wrapped in politics. That why i choose to record in New york and not Kingston and stay alive.

[@damajah]

Junior Reid speaks on that tragic killing of Hugh inna interview. You can hear that he was shook by it.

[@aframaco9491]

This is why I took exception to Buju Banter Banton's recent put down of Afrobeats , referring to the Nigerian genre as fcukery!!!! Because despite the "conscious lyrics" of reggae music, the ghetto peoples of Jamaica couldn't give a raaass about any of that! Dancehall genre in particular , is very prone to violence!! All these reggae artistes that were unalived violently mostly by people in their own communities!!! Afrobeats has no history or culture of artistes being murdered or being sent to prison for violent crimes!!! Nothing has changed in Jamaica to this day!!! That's why not one of Bob Marley's children live in Jamaica today!!! Banton had better go and record some more "conscious tunes" because his people are not listening!! Afrobeats is fine just where it is ! Peaceful and fun loving!! 👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬!!!

[@alvincrossman4172]

They are evil. To treat another human being this way. Hope they can sleep at night. Wickedness 😮😢.

[@kudumohammed9684]

Bob Marley also almost had his life cut down in 1978? His lyrics "how long shall they kill our prophets, while we stand beside and look...", should be pondered upon.

[@lancebeamon9729]

💔😢

[@daleblackwood6752]

Any info on Ranking Toyan & Turbo Belly?

[@tourenarcisse6730]

Why is Jamaica such a violent country

[@alvincrossman4172]

Who give them the right to be killing innocent people. 😢

[@Zlervo]

Hugh Mundell was a supernova. His star shone brightly but not long enough. All because of some malignant individuals.

[@alvincrossman4172]

Who give them the right to be taking people lives.
