For those of you kids that weren't around when reggae first became popular in USA, just think of the original Wailers like the Jamaican Beatles....

Bob Marley = Paul McCartney

Peter Tosh = John Lennon

Bunny Wailer = George Harrison

Enough said.

There you have it! I also heard of the Wailers being referred to as the Jamaican Beatles and it's apt.

Wow. All the hate on Snoop. Bunny has always been known as a head case. And by "making him relevant" I think he means to this generation. Most 14 to 18 year olds can't tell you one song Bunny is even on. Sad to burst your bubble, almost the whole damn world knows Snoop. My mother is married to a Jamaican. And if I ask her who she's more aware of, she'd probably say Snoop. AND SHE IS IN HER 60's!!!!! Snoop not gangster??? That's a riot. You really think he has no ties to the streets??? He smiles, shucks and jives, makes silly movies because he knows white America likes that kind of black person. Look at T.I., that dude guns and drugs. Now he's on Robin Thicke's album dancing like a softy. You think that's who he really is??? You think Snoop can't get Bunny "touched" if he wanted to?? Never think a black man goes soft. Ask Nicole Simpson..... Oh wait. YOU CAN'T.

Please don't act like you speak for all black men please sit in many seats.

Snoop is disrespectful to a legend and Bunny has a right ot be cause Snoop is doing this bullshit simply to stay relevant he doesn't give 2 fucks about Rastas.

This fool saying he can do in a legend like Bunny... right

Snoop is a grown ass man with a midlife crisis he needs to grow up and accept the fact he isn't a gangster anymore, he's not a rasta and he hasn't made a good album since 1994.

That's what I'm saying. He had two good years (1992-1994) and the rest was eh. I couldn't take the post seriously when dude said his 60-year-old Jamaican mother didn't know who Bunny was!

Mug can't touch his toes

Studio gangsta

Wow. All the hate on Snoop

Had he just left it at "To me, it's a miscommunication, and I'm not gonna speak nothing negative because I love him too much" and STOPPED TALKING AT THAT POINT this whole thing could have been avoided.

Bunny's remarks went out a month ago or more and it had just about passed from peoples' minds. If anything I thought he was foolish for promoting Snoop's new thing by attacking it; I hadn't heard about the transition before that.

But once Snoop starts going in on how he is respected by people who are the real Rastas, not that fake ass Bunny Wailer of the Wailers, then he is quite literally asking for it.

I mean can you imagine if Ice Cube had beef with David Ruffin and was like "You ain't the shit in that band, it was Eddie Kendricks!!"

Snoop need to come back to earth. This new image he has is so forced and stupid, is it a mid life crisis? who knows. A career crisis for sure.

[Edited 4/25/13 19:07pm]

I think it's both (midlife, career)... Snoop's a one-album wonder with some hits, ain't even a legend (in that sense that I think a legend is) and his old-looking ass got nerve talking shit about someone that should be in the Hall of Fame already if he isn't.

The only album that I own and can get through is doggystyle, everything else is certain singles. I think he is looked as a rap legend to some but I choose 2pac, Dre and Ice Cube over him in a heartbeat I have no problem with snoop overrall though.
