When damian said " Scholars teach in Universities and claim that they're smart and cunning Tell them find a cure when we sneeze And that's when their nose start running " your EYES bro said it ALL! 🔥
I watch reaction videos to this song just to see the faces of people the first time they hear it. Damien's Verse might just be the greatest verse ever written in any genre. Timeless.
This guy is truly Marley’s son. Just like his dad, he has a lot to unload and of course Ana’s as well! I grew up listening to Bob and I still enjoy listening to his music. Most of Bob’s songs were revolutionary songs. Always spoke against the injustice all around the world ⭐️❤️
For those who may not be heavily familiar with Damian Marley he's one of the greatest lyricists walking this realm when he decides to get busy, and thats on God.....this guy can go soo deep (pause lol) its crazy Understanding patois, he says: Some of the smartest dummies, cant read the language of Egyptian Mummies (referring to the modern day intellects who parade as if their so great not being able to even decipher the language of ancient civilization who may be deemed more primitive by todays standards - so he's basically being satirical alot in his 1st verse) he wasnt really saying those who wrote hieroglyphics werent smart, he saying us modern day man who ACT as if we're SO smart, cant even read the langauge of ancient ppl). I could go dayss breaking down lyrics with this guy 😪 but this guy is top 5 lyricist for me period....regardless of genre
Everyone is pointing out how great the entire album is (which I'll cosign) but they had a collab years earlier called Road to Zion that is an all-timer!
Every lyric ain't a puzzle. "Are we growing wiser or just growing tall". Wisdom or just physically growing. That's all it is and the depth is sufficient.
Damien and Stephen both have this style of music and I really appreciate it ❤I'm a huge fan of Bob Marley but the sons just take it to another level for me😊
This song hits your soul in such an ancient way, i cant describe it. I think Nas, Damian, Jay, Kanye and some others been around for centuries. They just retelling stories
'technology has stupefied us...' completely agree. went thru school writing cursive with a fountain pen, now can barely manage an illegible scribble...
One of my favourite songs ever the song they sampled is amazing when i found it first i shed a tear 😢this song got me tru alot of years its called sabali
Jaques fresco had a interesting perspective on how language was born.. check it out. peace LOVE all that good shit and on top of that BIG blessings to all 🌞
Hes not talking anything about the actual Egyptians, hes saying "all the old senior citizens that are completely out of touch with reality are the ones making the decisions" this whole breakdown misses so much, no offense man
I think you’re right, but I also think this guys interpretation was also right. That’s the beautiful thing, there’s layers and meaning upon meaning. Damien is def in touch with his heritage and ancestry, and the ancestry of humanity in general. I think he’s certainly speaking to what you expressed, while he’s also speaking on how detached we’ve become from our ancestry, and the deep wisdoms that got us where we are. We’ve become TOO advanced in some ways. Can you milk a cow? How would you survive in an apocalypse? I bet 90% of us would overestimate our abilities in a scenario like that. So I agree with you! But I think this assessment is also fair and accurate. And everyone sees what they need to in a good song/lyric/story. That’s the ultimate beauty, that it strikes the same feeling in different people for different reasons and delivers many messages at once ❤
Nas doesn't seem to understand that we ALL have freewill. We choice what to follow and what to ignore. He want's to be king but there is a King of Kings in Christ.
Proto Saharan is older than Sumerian it’s the root of the hieroglyph writing system , man we got to teach what the Europeans actually discovered in Africa and why maps from 500 years ago have civilizations in Africa all over the Sahara . Or why the Indians in the paranas say there first kingdom came form Africa
You should watch the live version of this. The crowd was such a let down for such an educational song. It fell on deaf ears the crowd should be ashamed of themselves

You need to do an album reaction. This album is gold. One of the best ever made
Agreed, this is one of the best albums of all time.
So true
When thinking of top MCs, look at reggae artists. Straight BARS
When you control the food you control the people
Jr gong can out rap most rappers
He is a lyrist
This is a reggae rap fusion
A lyrical masterpiece
Jr. Gong now imbraces the prophet mantle............like his father. Real talk!

How come I, someone from a small European country, knew about this song (album) and you just found out about it? 😭
🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲One of the greatest tracks out there
Definitely
True
My daughter showed this to me years ago, it's been in my playlists ever since, I adore Damians voice ❤
If she thinks about the song as deeply as I hoped I believe you raised a very smart young lady hat’s off to you
I adore this track!! 🥰
Nas got owned here and I never thought I'd say this... respect!
They weren't competing and Nas went to Damian's world on this album.I mean the album is 90% Reggae sound.
Just found this song and questioned myself as to how have I not heard it before. Instantly added to the collection
What a beautiful song. Lyrics, music, melody. This song is going to be a forever timeless classic.
i love the mix of damian marly and nas
This is a history class kinda music,they are teaching
Every lyric ain't a puzzle. "Are we growing wiser or just growing tall". Wisdom or just physically growing. That's all it is and the depth is sufficient.
The whole album is a classic! Nas & Damien Marley - Distant Relatives.
Not just philosophy, but our very meaning, mortality here on earth
Damien and Stephen both have this style of music and I really appreciate it ❤I'm a huge fan of Bob Marley but the sons just take it to another level for me😊
FINALLY! I’ve been suggesting this song since forever.
Idk how you can misinterpret that first line when its so powerful
Right 😂
This song hits your soul in such an ancient way, i cant describe it. I think Nas, Damian, Jay, Kanye and some others been around for centuries. They just retelling stories
This album was so 🔥
always crying with that song... fckng time
'technology has stupefied us...' completely agree. went thru school writing cursive with a fountain pen, now can barely manage an illegible scribble...
Now you're doing the Marley brothers that I like let's continue this with all of them❤
BRILLIANT

Damien is incredible.. this song is amazing
Damian Marley: here we go 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love both nas and Damian, great choice
Dude damian marley is the most underrated artist imo
His lyrics are deep his songs are so fire
when you learn what he saying through the patois Damian is a great lyricist
Listen when this song came out i told people listen to it!!! This song rings true every single word!!
The song is about the genius of original Africans. That's the overall point of the song.
Greatest Rap Verse Ever 👑🗽🌉
The Distant Relatives Album is fire has been a loyal staple in my collection of music.
Finally Finally
Nas is a great lyricist

Damian woke as fuck.
Great reaction. I like your inquisitive approach, when you have time you should react to Nas- Everything feat. Kanye West & The Dream
not ingles mas essa musica obra de arte e um alerta pra abrimos nossos olhos the fato
The first one went over your head but you catching up
You should do much more nashes the greatest to ever touch the mic untouchable.
