Who do you think is more popular globally between the King of Pop Michael Jackson and the King of Reggae Bob Marley.
No competition here. Iko mtu atapewa drubbing
never understand what no woman no cry means
every mbitch cries
I’d vote Marley anytime.Reggea music is the food for rastaman’s soul.His music apart from entertaining also passes a message.
Marley is more popular for the spirituality in his songs and for making reggae and Rastafarianism famous. MJ is more popular for his unique dance moves, you really can’t compare their influence.
I think MJ was more successful coz he started out very young, at 6 I think and also coz he was American. When it comes to record sales and music business, very few come close.
Marley on the other hand is more famous/influential because you can’t about talk reggae without him especially in Africa.
The funny thing is that black people in the Americas invented all forms of modern music, rock, reggae, Hip Hop, jazz, rnb, but the smart jews use them to get more money and influence in the entertainment industry.
I thought it meant ukikaa single utakua stress free? I might be wrong though
All in all, kama iko kitu black people wame kuwa blessed kabisa ni muziki.

Ebu angalia hii painting ya 1520 AD. Tulitambulika kitambo sana.
Other than the hip-hop, I’ll check out the other artists esp the less famous artists. So many up there are underrated. Kama Little Richard - he of the soundtrack to the manliest movie of all time
hapo kwa rnb, kuna Keith sweat. he lived under the shadow of R Kelly he din’t shine.
The classic song is actually a chokora song. It’s a song describing a fatherless and motherless life in a slum (Trench town) where you are forced to fend for yourself.
Old pirates yes they rob I
Sold I to the merchant ships
If only 2pac and BiG lived longer
Bob Marley died almost 40 years ago and yet MJ for those extra years he lived he couldn’t eclipse his influence then Bob Marley is it.
