This man has his ear to the street and more people should pay attention. He's bringing spirituality to the streets where it's needed most. My favorite of all the Marley's.
His father definitely had his ear tuned into the struggle and the street life as well if you go back and listen to deeper cuts.. but agreed.. Damian offers a perspective through his music barely anyone else is even close to
I can bet he’s very proud. Jr Gong is no doubt Bob’s legacy. Just like how King David had Solomon as a bastard but he was his legacy it’s the same here. God blessings doesn’t come gift wrapped how we would expect.
Damian Marley's story needs to be recognized man! These interviews needs way more views. Bob is living through his children you can hear it in their voices and songs.
And do not call anyone on earth 'father,' for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. Matthew 23:9 10Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Christ.…
He's so normal, and I mean that in the best possible way, he's honest and has absolutely no airs and graces. He was raised well and is so well spoken. I really admire him for going his own way as in style of music , obviously before I really started listening to his music I did just think of him as Bob Marley's son but he's so talented in his own right and deserves so much recognition for his talent. I just love interviews with him, his father would be so proud of his humbleness ✌️🌻
When he said “great!” I felt that. To win a Grammy so early in his career. On only the second album. Bob marleys blood but his sons has there own talent. They are truly talented.
I liked this dude before, but there is something about just sitting, watching and listening to this interview, (as opposed to his music only,) that just took it to another level for me, Big up the junior gung.
His mummy isn't humble.And he isn't that privilaged. HIS EX STEP DAD IS A THIEVING CUT OF A LAWYER SO YOU WOULDN'T EXPECT HIM TO not attend a prep school.I literally saw and heard his mummy insulted a hungry peasant.ain 1986 in lens happy supermarket as he begged her something from her heavily rammed tolley.She and A gal name Donna Felts were joint owners of the Craft shop upstairs the plaza.From that day I wish upon her omen.Her life wouldn't have taken the trajectory it had.Had she not met male.

@@swahilimandela5610 what's his mother got to do with him? Because his mother is pale skinned, beggers in Jamaica will follow behind you and constantly beg and after a while it begins to annoy you if you cant even walk down the road without someone begging 15-20 times each day. The Bible says it's a sin to beg and those who dont work wont eat. Imagine if 30 people begged her something every time each day, how would she even feed herself? I dont think you understand how Jamaicans think, but the beggars are worse and most Jamaicans think that even the very shoes on your feet you must take them off and give them to someone straightaway if someone asks you for them just because they think you can buy another pair the same day. Some Jamaicans can be very self-absorbed that way. I was at a funeral in Jamaica last month and was wearing goloshes/wellington/water boots and a woman was looking at them and saying 'oh your feet are really small, much smaller than mine' meaning if my feet were the same size as hers or bigger she would have asked me for the boots I had on and be expected to have them straight away otherwise she would have cussed me and called me a 'mean english' to shame me, or 'you live in England, you can always buy another pair' etc. These are the things Jamaicans do to shame and beg and embarrass you when they *think* you have more than them just because you live overseas. They wont do it to the tourists anymore because they know the police will lock them up if a tourist complains about beggars, that's why tourists dont have that happen to them. I have seen the nasty covetous behaviour in Jamaica and it becomes draining after a while, even family members will do it. why do you think most of the younger Marleys dont live there? THAT is why Cindy cussed off the beggar, because if you give to one, they will brag to other beggars and those other beggars will come to beg when they see them running errands too. I have seen beggars only walk up to light-skinned people in Jamaica, because they assume light/pale-skinned people are rich and some are rude enough to even tap their shoulder and they know they cant to that to dark-skinned Jamaicans.

Bob Marley passed his gift and talent to his kids🙏I really wish I could of met bob marley🥺I will always be a Bob marley fan💖I love you bob marley,You will never be forgotten.

I must admit, I have a bit of a crush on Damian myself! He and Julian are the most handsome sons, IMHO. I like both of their music, Damian is my favorite as his music is so spiritual.
I really love this man. I met him in Montego Bay back in 2004 when he, Ziggy and Stephen came to Club Inferno for a concert. Very grassroots and deep Prince. Much love and respeck to Jr. Gong😇💛💯💪🔥👑💰
@@russellpaloor8225 I agree and that is part of what makes people want to get to know him, I bet. He would be such an interesting person to just spend time with and learn the world from because of the depth. His smile lights up the world though, when it is there!
I owe my life to the music. If not for certain songs i would have died at an abusive husbands hand. The words still echo in my head. If you can not do what other people have done that you shall sit there and die. Selassie words have hit my ears previously but, the song came to Me when i needed strength the most. I thank you. Mr Marley. You are a treasure to the world. I hope for you nothing but greatness. Bless.
Damion grew up in upper class suburbia with Cindy and her first husband, a politician with the Jamaica Labour Party. He did not start performing with Bob's children with Rita, but with his social peers (children of his mother and step father's friends.) Dancehall was the big influence on youngsters of all classes, including the gentry. While there were conscious DJs who advocated morals, Damion started out imitating Shabba Ranks' cocksman genre, and deejayed about his father (Bob) being a Bedroom Bully. When he started to work with Stephen Marley, his lyrics changed and became more socially critical, and Stephen's excellent production helped make him a star.
Damian Marley is a gift to all of the people that love Bob Marley , very talented artist, my respect to all the beautiful mothers that were intelligent harmonious conscience women that carried beautiful children To life. Thank you Bob Nesta Marley for so much love.
I am impressed with this family as a whole. Every interview I see with Damian or any other member of the fam shows how respectful they were of their fathers and mothers. One heck of a hard working family. They were taught well.
Well Said & Done Congratulations Damian... You're Absolutely Sweet & Adorable... You're Everything Of Your Dad... He's So Proud Of You... You're Definitely Bless With Lovely Parents... Excellent Interview... Best Wishes To You Guys... Rest In Perfect Great Legend Bob Marley... Memories Always & Forever 🙏🇬🇧
Bless up JR Gong🙏🏾👊🏽, you are truly your fathers son and you diversified into your own awesome style. I have and will continue to support your music my brother 👊🏽 one day I would be blessed to meet you Ras🙏🏾
@@regix1859 "struggled to cut his own cloth from the mains" meaning it has taken much dedication and work for damian to forge his own identity beyond the legacy of his family name, and he's done an admirable job of it
Well, I love this "I'm only one generation, I'm counting my blessings, if it wasn't for music, I might not exist. Who knows?" Love his voice and he certainly sounds like his father, "We come from rough places and so we care." That's it. Love and respect to him. Keep signing.
This was a beautiful interview until the end. Damian felt like he was coming for his character you could see him tense up but then handled it with heart.
This young man has the wisdom of someone much older. He doesn't think he's above his countrymen and you can tell he has a real connection with those living the struggle and recognizes the fact he's just a generation removed and if not for music he probably wouldn't exist. Rappers from the hood in the United States would do well to listen to him.
Love ❤️ his music 🎶 it's 🔥👍🏼👅 love all the Marley's music listened to bob from the age of 10 years old & still listen to him every day ! His music is life !!!!
It shows Alot more character and integrity in someone than most when they do come from a privileged background but they have a passion for exposing the inequalities and struggles the lesser have to battle on a daily basis...all of BM children seem to have that humility and strength of character...the world was Blessed when that Family was formed,I actually met Ziggy and Rohan at a UM game many years ago..so friendly and humble they were:)
No they thought it would be cool if they try to sound just like their dad. BOB MARLEY IS SUPER COOL. but not All Jamaicans sound like Bob Marley. Think people *think.*
I was in a hotel in The Strand London where Bob Marley was staying June 1976, Rastaman Vibration tour. Damion's Mother Cindy Breakspeare had just been crowned Miss World . The next day she was brought to the hotel to meet Bob . I was there in the Foyer and Witnessed this. Cindy was So Beautiful. ❤ . R.I.P. Legend . ❤ 🙏
Like mother like son like father. A triumvirate of immense talent. And oh my! all Bob's children look the same! Genes are God's miracle because (even though Junior Gong's father made his great transition when his last son was a mere two ) Damian Marley has the same defiant look his father had when speaking to interviewers!
I've been to Jamaican over 20 times in 20 years and it never gets old. Now you can travel around the whole country via the Knutsford Express Busline. A wonderful air conditioning experience 👌 My favorite four places are MoBay, Ochie, Negril and Kingston.
Any normal person would be offended by some of this guy's questions, I would have been. Respect is what Damien represents in a deeper way than I think most of us will ever understand, and he deserves it 100% standing on his own two feet.
You don’t have to struggle to understand the struggle you do have to be a thug to be street if u can relate you have empathy and and understanding of humanity you can connect # I respect this man’s wisdom and his nobility is priceless
Bob Marley was the man. He was not only a special musical talent he was prophetic in a way. He wasn’t a prophet per se as that is a loaded word but he was as close to it as you van get but he was humble & genuine. He was much like his voice: it was powerful yet genuine, soft & warm while being devoid of flamboyance or showy superfluous ornamentation. His music was amazing & influential but it’s arguable that Bob Marley the man was just as powerful & influential. Two of my favorite singers/musicians burned brightly but tragically left us too soon. Both Jim Morrison & Bob Marley were prolific workers & left lasting & enduring bodies of works which are jaw dropping since they both died so young - Jim at 27 & Bob at 36. Now much has been made of Bob’s extra marital affairs & having multiple “illegitimate” children out of wedlock with multiple women. Now he might have technically been a womanizer but it was far more complex than that just like him. He was a man who didn’t have a lot of vices or materialistic desires or greed much like Jim Morrison. Jim loved booze, poetry & perhaps women. Bob loved music, soccer & some weed but that was more spiritually centric versus being about altering the mind. However it’s arguable that Bob loved people, family & women the most. Bob had what we know as an open relationship but it wasn’t formally labeled as such. He was open & honest with his wife Rita with whom he stayed married to for his entire life until his tragic premature death. Rita herself had a child with a famous Jamaican soccer player while her & Bob were together. Bob adopted Rita’s daughter from a previous relationship & brought her into the Marley family. Bob wasn’t having one-night stands & sleeping with groupies he’d ne’er see again. He had actual strong friendships & relationships with women that sometimes led to pregnancy & children out of wedlock. Both Bob & all the mothers of his kids including Rita were honest & friendly with each other. They made sure that the kids were included in the family despite having different Mom’s & were part of their siblings & father’s lives. I think that is not only pragmatic & smart, but admirable & beautiful. They didn’t project their bad emotions on their kids like many do which negatively affects them all. For example, a child from affair can be resented by the wife as he or she is a reminder of that infidelity. Bob & Rita thought children were treasures & innocent. They actually lived their values. Well, you can say he broke his vows but don’t be so quick to judge - hear me out. So for all intents & purposes while Bob was married to Rita & had several children outside of their marriage, all the kids were brought into the family fold & friendly with their siblings & “step” Mom’s. Bob was present in their lives. He made sure that he spent time with the mothers, the kids & the kids did more than just know of each other but spent tiem with each other & grew up together. The different women were friendly with each other. Bob was allegedly very open & honest about all the extramarital affairs with Rita. So while he did have kids out of wedlock he was a present father & made sure all the kids felt included & not excluded. That is admirable & crucial I think. This is why they are close knit & the family doesn’t have toxic animosity or resentment between the various children & mothers. This is more than I can say about a lot of other fathers it Baby Daddy’s. Now ot was obviously complex & perhaps chaallengin & difficult at times but most good things take work. I think its admirable & beautiful. The Marley family was unorthodox but it seemed to have worked. Bob sadly & tragically died way too young at age 36 in 1981 but I would bet that he’d say his most precious legacy that he left isn’t his music but his children. Look at Damien here. He is obviously close to his Mom, proud of his father & family. They’re obviously a famous family & the kids have enjoyed success on their own in their own right as they forged their own paths & careers. They aren’t just the kids of Bob Marley. I think they’re a special family because of the 11 kids, multiple mothers & them making it all work by putting family first & being a family. Bob is probably smiling in heaven down on his family incredibly proud of his greatest legacy his kids, not his music.
If you know your history, then you know we're your coming from, buffalo soldier.... Oy oy oy... I love all the Marley.... RIP The Grand Legend: Bob Marley
3:30 ... actually, he already said that he did NOT like the "love songs" much when he was still very young, before the afro and before the dreads. He literally said that he preferred the REBEL sounds with deep base, not the love songs. So, really, he hasn't changed at all over the decades (as far as which songs of Bob he likes most). He's forgotten what he said (he said he can't remember), but he's been consistent with that.
Hello South Africa & New Zealand. We meet again. Still loving TEEKS & Legendary Stan Walker. Mad love for the Marley's. Respect 🙏 Peaches JAMAICA 🍑 🇯🇲 HARLEM
I'm so in love with this man and I loved his father I was just a young girl when he died but we always listen to his music and I would sing all his songs my older sisters would play Bob Marley all the time I think the ghetto question was a dumb question and uncalled for his family was from the ghetto his father was from the ghetto so he can sing about the ghetto common sense he been to the ghetto plenty times so what he was from uptown
Respect to all of Bob's Family.. Much love from The US of A .. Planning my trip as I watch these videos. So many great memories in Jamica, from driving around the island and Red Stripe beer...
This mans goate is God tier but seriously he is so chill so humble seems like a good guy just like his Dad Bob raised all of his children really well they're all really good people and Skip aswell
I remember seeing you as a child from a distance in stony hill when the driver who took me home from school with his kids would stop by to drop documents for Tom Finson.

There’s something profoundly powerful and sincere about this man
AMEN!!! That's what struck me first and still does
Hes honest
Very respectful and humble man. Big up! Jr. Gong the youngest veteran!
Rastas in general
Damian is a lovely man, he is so like his dad in his mannerisms and speech. Spooky. Bob would be so very proud of him.
He sounds so much like him.
yeah damian in sound very much like his dad and feel
Bob said he didn't really want his children to follow in his foot steps,. He wanted them to go to school
Yes! To me he’s the one who’s most like Bob.. Ziggy sounds like Bob singing but Damian he’s all the mannerisms and kindness
Soooo proud!
When he mentioned his father died when he was 2 and I saw the tears about to fall from Damian's eyes...I cried like a baby. I need to meet this man.
So easy to know who would be easy to get along with when you see their comments. Praise YAH I felt this one
I think he just red eyed from the herb
@@xhildhood Exactly. Been asked about it his whole life but now he's gonna cry.
45 seconds in, you could definitely see him holding it
I thought I could see that in his eyes
I can’t even imagine how proud Bob Marley would be if he saw how he’s youngest son turned out to be. 🥺 I wish he was alive.
I can bet he’s very proud. Jr Gong is no doubt Bob’s legacy. Just like how King David had Solomon as a bastard but he was his legacy it’s the same here. God blessings doesn’t come gift wrapped how we would expect.
All of them turn out good
Big up to their mothers. It makes sense to put the children first.

He mentioned Halfway Tree,my mom told me that’s where she grew up in Jamaica 🇯🇲💪🏽

I remember when he did that Bedroom Bully song he got so much backlash and people were calling his mother such nasty names. Lol
His Mom openly dated a married man. She is the boldest side chick in Jamaican history but because she is "upper class" she gets a pass FACTS

Damian was conceived from an affair, his father Bob Marley remained married to Rita Marley until the day he died.
Bless up JR Gong🙏🏾👊🏽, you are truly your fathers son and you diversified into your own awesome style. I have and will continue to support your music my brother 👊🏽 one day I would be blessed to meet you Ras🙏🏾
Damian has really struggled to cut his own cloth from the mains...humble as he keeps it,he does it well.Bless up rasta!!👊🏾
what mean it that…
@@regix1859 "struggled to cut his own cloth from the mains" meaning it has taken much dedication and work for damian to forge his own identity beyond the legacy of his family name, and he's done an admirable job of it
@@jumpyourbone thanks sir or boo…
If u listen to his music, U can tell his bloodline is Legendary.
"Patience" feat Nas says so much
Well, I love this "I'm only one generation, I'm counting my blessings, if it wasn't for music, I might not exist. Who knows?" Love his voice and he certainly sounds like his father, "We come from rough places and so we care." That's it. Love and respect to him. Keep signing.
Met Him Recently in NewYork For His Album Release ,Great Energy & Spirit #Rastafari
Rah ranks Cool, lucky you ❤️💛💚. 🌺🌼🍀
Respect
What was Junior Gong like personality wise when you met him ?
JNR GONG MY BEST DANCEHALL ARTIST #DISTANT RELATIVES
"Rita and other wives". Please note that Rita is the only wife.
This was a beautiful interview until the end. Damian felt like he was coming for his character you could see him tense up but then handled it with heart.
My fav song will always be welcome to Jam rock
Medication good too
"to win election dem trick me then dem don't do nothing at all"
try " it is written "
welcome to jamrock is speaking about all the violence and deprivation in Jamaica. I hope you know that...
My favorite is "Speak Life".
This young man has the wisdom of someone much older.
He doesn't think he's above his countrymen and you can tell he has a real connection with those living the struggle and recognizes the fact he's just a generation removed and if not for music he probably wouldn't exist.
Rappers from the hood in the United States would do well to listen to him.
I love Damian's honesty & sound overstanding of who he is & where his from.u cant push around a man with such awareness!
Love ❤️ his music 🎶 it's 🔥👍🏼👅 love all the Marley's music listened to bob from the age of 10 years old & still listen to him every day ! His music is life !!!!
I love d sound of Damian's voice 😍
Rita took care of them all and very strong black woman, and l am happy family's togetherness God bless
It shows Alot more character and integrity in someone than most when they do come from a privileged background but they have a passion for exposing the inequalities and struggles the lesser have to battle on a daily basis...all of BM children seem to have that humility and strength of character...the world was Blessed when that Family was formed,I actually met Ziggy and Rohan at a UM game many years ago..so friendly and humble they were:)
The epitome of a lovely blended family ...
I appreciate a reporter that does their homework and provides a balanced perspective
His voice sounds exactly like his dads
No, not at all
All his sons sound like him 🤭
He s faking it
They really don't.
They r from jamaica fam, they hv jamaican accents
No they thought it would be cool if they try to sound just like their dad. BOB MARLEY IS SUPER COOL. but not All Jamaicans sound like Bob Marley. Think people *think.*
Saying stuff like that is disrespecting the Marley legacy
I was in a hotel in The Strand London where Bob Marley was staying June 1976, Rastaman Vibration tour. Damion's Mother Cindy Breakspeare had just been crowned Miss World . The next day she was brought to the hotel to meet Bob . I was there in the Foyer and Witnessed this. Cindy was So Beautiful. ❤ . R.I.P. Legend . ❤ 🙏
The voice for me... He sounds like his dad❤😂
Like mother like son like father. A triumvirate of immense talent. And oh my! all Bob's children look the same! Genes are God's miracle because (even though Junior Gong's father made his great transition when his last son was a mere two ) Damian Marley has the same defiant look his father had when speaking to interviewers!
My son wants to send my husband and me to Jamaica that’s been my dream forever

Hope it came true
I've been to Jamaican over 20 times in 20 years and it never gets old. Now you can travel around the whole country via the Knutsford Express Busline. A wonderful air conditioning experience 👌 My favorite four places are MoBay, Ochie, Negril and Kingston.
Has a complete DNA of his fathers speech. The voice is such a Bob like.
Amazing clever brilliant man Bob would be proud
Any normal person would be offended by some of this guy's questions, I would have been. Respect is what Damien represents in a deeper way than I think most of us will ever understand, and he deserves it 100% standing on his own two feet.
Lmao damn dude … asking him about his mother omg you already know she was the side chic 🤣😃
Uptown or Downtown, he has a Stillness because he knows his History, his Country and his Foundation!🎶💚
You don’t have to struggle to understand the struggle you do have to be a thug to be street if u can relate you have empathy and and understanding of humanity you can connect # I respect this man’s wisdom and his nobility is priceless
Some people have to struggle to understand struggle. Not everyone is artical.
Bob Marley was the man. He was not only a special musical talent he was prophetic in a way. He wasn’t a prophet per se as that is a loaded word but he was as close to it as you van get but he was humble & genuine. He was much like his voice: it was powerful yet genuine, soft & warm while being devoid of flamboyance or showy superfluous ornamentation. His music was amazing & influential but it’s arguable that Bob Marley the man was just as powerful & influential. Two of my favorite singers/musicians burned brightly but tragically left us too soon. Both Jim Morrison & Bob Marley were prolific workers & left lasting & enduring bodies of works which are jaw dropping since they both died so young - Jim at 27 & Bob at 36.
Now much has been made of Bob’s extra marital affairs & having multiple “illegitimate” children out of wedlock with multiple women. Now he might have technically been a womanizer but it was far more complex than that just like him. He was a man who didn’t have a lot of vices or materialistic desires or greed much like Jim Morrison. Jim loved booze, poetry & perhaps women. Bob loved music, soccer & some weed but that was more spiritually centric versus being about altering the mind. However it’s arguable that Bob loved people, family & women the most.
Bob had what we know as an open relationship but it wasn’t formally labeled as such. He was open & honest with his wife Rita with whom he stayed married to for his entire life until his tragic premature death. Rita herself had a child with a famous Jamaican soccer player while her & Bob were together. Bob adopted Rita’s daughter from a previous relationship & brought her into the Marley family. Bob wasn’t having one-night stands & sleeping with groupies he’d ne’er see again. He had actual strong friendships & relationships with women that sometimes led to pregnancy & children out of wedlock. Both Bob & all the mothers of his kids including Rita were honest & friendly with each other. They made sure that the kids were included in the family despite having different Mom’s & were part of their siblings & father’s lives. I think that is not only pragmatic & smart, but admirable & beautiful. They didn’t project their bad emotions on their kids like many do which negatively affects them all. For example, a child from affair can be resented by the wife as he or she is a reminder of that infidelity. Bob & Rita thought children were treasures & innocent. They actually lived their values. Well, you can say he broke his vows but don’t be so quick to judge - hear me out.
So for all intents & purposes while Bob was married to Rita & had several children outside of their marriage, all the kids were brought into the family fold & friendly with their siblings & “step” Mom’s. Bob was present in their lives. He made sure that he spent time with the mothers, the kids & the kids did more than just know of each other but spent tiem with each other & grew up together. The different women were friendly with each other. Bob was allegedly very open & honest about all the extramarital affairs with Rita. So while he did have kids out of wedlock he was a present father & made sure all the kids felt included & not excluded. That is admirable & crucial I think. This is why they are close knit & the family doesn’t have toxic animosity or resentment between the various children & mothers. This is more than I can say about a lot of other fathers it Baby Daddy’s. Now ot was obviously complex & perhaps chaallengin & difficult at times but most good things take work. I think its admirable & beautiful.
The Marley family was unorthodox but it seemed to have worked. Bob sadly & tragically died way too young at age 36 in 1981 but I would bet that he’d say his most precious legacy that he left isn’t his music but his children. Look at Damien here. He is obviously close to his Mom, proud of his father & family. They’re obviously a famous family & the kids have enjoyed success on their own in their own right as they forged their own paths & careers. They aren’t just the kids of Bob Marley. I think they’re a special family because of the 11 kids, multiple mothers & them making it all work by putting family first & being a family. Bob is probably smiling in heaven down on his family incredibly proud of his greatest legacy his kids, not his music.
Damian is gonna go so far💙💜❤️still love his tracts all unique and great.
@7:50 Bob Marley comes out for a second lmao same expression and raising of the eyebrow
I think the song turn your lights down low was written for Damien's mother??
Himalayan yes
And the track "she used to call me dada"
I know 'There for you' was written for his mother on his 'Welcome to Jamrock' album.
Yes, and also "I Don't Want To Wait in Vain" and "Is This Love?" Bob wrote a LOT of songs about his romance with Cindy!
He did
So grounded simple - Non Marley has an amazing legacy all of them are so humble and discreet they know the crazy game they stay away from it. ❤
If you know your history, then you know we're your coming from, buffalo soldier....
Oy oy oy...
I love all the Marley.... RIP The Grand Legend: Bob Marley
3:30 ... actually, he already said that he did NOT like the "love songs" much when he was still very young, before the afro and before the dreads. He literally said that he preferred the REBEL sounds with deep base, not the love songs.
So, really, he hasn't changed at all over the decades (as far as which songs of Bob he likes most). He's forgotten what he said (he said he can't remember), but he's been consistent with that.
Ye, I dont like his love songs either.
He likes rebel songs with heavy basselines 😉
This man has been the love of my life for 20 years...
His momma was daddy’s side ting!
Hello South Africa & New Zealand. We meet again. Still loving TEEKS & Legendary Stan Walker.
Mad love for the Marley's.
Respect 🙏
Peaches JAMAICA 🍑 🇯🇲 HARLEM
the king of reggae is dead ... but the descendants are serious present !!!! rest in peace bob
Jah rastafari
Jah bless this family
I'm so in love with this man and I loved his father I was just a young girl when he died but we always listen to his music and I would sing all his songs my older sisters would play Bob Marley all the time I think the ghetto question was a dumb question and uncalled for his family was from the ghetto his father was from the ghetto so he can sing about the ghetto common sense he been to the ghetto plenty times so what he was from uptown
When me see Damian live in person, I was so mesmerised- top performer
He reminds me so much of his father , his voice is almost identical
Respect to all of Bob's Family.. Much love from The US of A .. Planning my trip as I watch these videos. So many great memories in Jamica, from driving around the island and Red Stripe beer...
Ya Jamaica is nice. Be careful
Great and truthful answer @ 8:21
Not everything in life is based on going through it somethings are just left to be seen
A very articulate and rational young man !
*Welcome to Jamrock* will forever be my favourite song.
I really like the interviewing style. Thanks and respect!!
This mans goate is God tier but seriously he is so chill so humble seems like a good guy just like his Dad Bob raised all of his children really well they're all really good people and Skip aswell
I remember seeing you as a child from a distance in stony hill when the driver who took me home from school with his kids would stop by to drop documents for Tom Finson.
Ya man..damian chatting suh yuh haffi listen....much love from Kingston Jamiaca and Ghana
Beres is NOT the Marvin Gaye of reggae. He's the BERES HAMMOND of reggae!
Fada beres
Rrrrrriiiggghhhtttttt!!!!!! 👊
Easy Brethren the man was just doing a comparison because of how women especially react to both entertainers.
Imagine him jamming out to his father's music as a child, of Bob Marley being his father. Great questions too.
