I can hear the pride in u voice king, don't loose it. Keep the pride & the melanin, it look regal on u. Can u imagine what we would do with a slightly bigger country and population?
I see in the comments some people saying poor Jamaicans. What is poor? Is living in a mansion rich, does owning name brand clothes and cars make you rich, does having access to some of the most toxic foods makes a person rich? Jamaicans are some of the most contented people in this world. We have a very rich vegetation in Jamaica that provides us with food for every Jamaican to survive and not starve. Jamaican is not only rich but wealthy we the people need to learn how to use all the resources that the Almighty has blessed us with.
@@JAMESLOONEY-kd1nu yes that the same reason why the Chinese, Americans, Cubans and people from all over the world are buying land and moving to Jamaica. I moved to the USA for various reasons but it wasn't because Jamaica is poor or bad.
Thanks for the motivation. I pray that all Jamaicans will get to watch this vlog. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to more parts to this series. Thanks
I don't agree though. It can't be. What kind of country has people that kills their heroes. They killed Tabby. Whoever killed him was Jamaican. Like all of the other people who were killed in Jamaica. Bit of a weird thing to claim. What's the importance of saying such and such is the best Country? Unless it's of benefit to someone that lives or intends to live there. It's all a bit stupid. Jamaica is beautiful, very special and has some lovely people but it's not the best Country in the world.
@@beatricecollins7258 You mention them as in black people like you? People like you are so brain wash that if you are not around your Masa you dont feel right.
Great minds! You have a new subscriber. Only if many of us know the greatness inside. Jamaica is a great country and a mythical country. Yes, Beryl hit us but do you know that the mountains in Jamaica prevented the direct hit of the eye crossing the entire island? Beryl had a slight turn just before it hit. Hurricane Ivan turned at the last minute and Hurricane Matthew turned as well. Nowadays all the so called big artists have to incorporate something Jamaican in their album. Jamaica right now is keeping the excitement and keeping track and field relevant. The 'rivalry' between USA and Jamaica keeps track and field relevant and Jamaica is the world's team, including for many Americans. Marcus Garvey - To date ran the single largest black organization in the history of the world. Influenced a black consciousness that impacted and influenced Malcom X and Martin Luther King Jr. Many don't know that Malcolm X's parents were Garveyites and many of his principles were from Garvey. Bob Marley - One of the most influential humans in world history who used his music as his weapon. Usain, Shelly, Elaine , VCB, Asafa, They represent the greatness of Jamaican track and field since 1948. Fastest man and fastest woman alive belong to Jamaica. Anyone who comes to Jamica express feeling an energy and a vibe that's hard to describe but powerful. It's that energy and power that's the spirit of Jamaica. Greatness is in the people despite hardship, despite poor leadership. It is time for the people to rise up and understand their greatness and lead themselves. We can be so much better, the only thing holding us back is leadership.
@@RichardWillis-fn4hg for a little tiny dot on the map that dominates, cricket, athletics, rich in mining, music and a whole lot more.... you're going to discriminate us because of football? Thought you would be more focused on tackling crime and violence
Since all countries are here by means of the Divine Creator, all countries of the world are great and none is greater than another, we are all love in the same sea of love and oneness.
Jamaican goods are top shelves at grocery store also, the Grace brand is very popular in America, Britain and some other countries, jerk sauce is also very popular worldwide, Jamaica was a very rich country compared to Singapore at one point in time, because of sugar and bauxite but not anymore, Jamaica is now known as the richest poor country in the world because they imported everything, land is gold but not everyone know that, if you own land you shouldn’t be poor, you’ll be able to grow crop and raise cattle you don’t have to be educated to know that, Jamaica has one of the oldest railway system in the west hemisphere behind only Britain and the United States, Dance Hall is a forerunner to Afro Beat, it’s the most beautiful island in the Caribbean even though some people might beg to differ, there are some famous celebrities that you wouldn’t believe has Jamaican roots, but my favorite celebrity is gonna blow your mind and his name is RENÉ LACOSTE he was the greatest tennis player in the world, they called him the alligator because would beat his opponent so bad that they gave him the nickname “the alligator” that’s why his brands has that alligator embroidered on them. His father was a white French man and his mother was a black Jamaican. I can do a whole lot of stories about celebrities who has Jamaican roots but that’s is for another time, my pet peeve is when I heard some black people tells you “I’m a Jamaican” and they are lying through their patoot, I hang around Jamaicans long enough to know who the real Jamaicans are. I can tell the real patois from the fake ones.
Grace is no longer made in Jamaica, they have divested to find cheaper labor instead of helping the Jamaican population. They have moved to some Central American country. The PSOJ/Elites of Jamaica who still owns and operates Grace found it necessary to move away from serving the people of Jamaica. I've stopped purchasing Grace products because of this. I will NOT PUT my MONEY in companies that are not serving black people.
Honestly, Jamaica are the Gods and Goddess of Atlantis which was the largest continent on the entire planet. In fact, they were very Advance in Technology and Civilzation while the rest of the World were still living in the Stone Age. However, Earthquakes and Wars sanked most of the lands under the Atlantic Ocean. Yes, the same thing happened to Port Royal where most of the Pirates lived in Jamaica. However, it was sanked by Earthquakes in 1692. In fact, Jamaica was originally formed by ancient volcanic activities millions of years ago. Although, Jamaica doesn't have active volcanoes, the Island still as linkage of the pass history with the Great Black Maroon Ancestors. Yes, they frought the British for almost one hundred years and then they signed a Peace Treaty in 1738 called Cockpit Country in Jamaica. However, quality of life is not good for poor people in Jamaica. Therefore, most Jamaican would rather live in other countries. However, Jamaica as provided some of the greatest creators, leaders, scholars, educators, teachers, inventors, talents, languages, cultures, influencers, Jamaican Foods, Jamaican Track and Field Athletes and Jamaican Reggae and Dancehall Music and Artists all over the world. Yes, in the end the Creators are the Makers and that is Jah Maker. Jah Bless Jamaica under Guidance and Protection for Jamaica.
Jamaica make significant contribution to the world economy and government also, many Jamaican don’t know this too, Marcus Gravey model the are using to run the world
Rastafari is not a religion, it’s a revolutionary movement. A conscious way of life. Secondly Marcus Garvey was the one who told us of the Emperor. Gong, I can’t remember his name but he started the Rastafarian movement in Jamaica. There was an Ethiopian Orthodox church in Ethiopia from the beginning of time. I agree with what you are saying about Jamaica being one of the greatest places along with its people 🇯🇲.
In your part 2, please talk in-depth about the talented people exported from Jamaica who in turn have created a new generation of leaders around the world. Looking at the global influence of Jamaicans living abroad will better substantiate your position.
Jamaican music came out of copying American music way back in time all the way before ska and reggae started. People from every country in the world has global influence, abroad, and are in positions.
Bob Marley is just a musician like any other Jamaican musician like Jimmy Cliff, Peter Tosh and so many others. But the producers and studio in London, UK made is music become of commercial success and so he is known to whole world because of reggae. Bob Marley got many children by many babies mamas. How does that make him a great leader?
What are your influences? You all are known for claiming others creations, accomplishments etc. Developing so late and so slowly has really affected the Jamaican psyche negatively.
Jamaica do have a population of about 3 million people. And because, Jamaica, is so close in proximity to the US, it was influenced especially, musically, by everything that happened in America. At one time, Jamaicans singers, sang over every new song that came out in America. Jamaicans were copying everything musically about America. Their music artists were even giving themselves names like “Josey Wales and Clint Eastwood”. Plus, Jamaicans, were the first Caribbean people that migrated heavily to the UK, USA and Canada before other Caribbean people start migrating. They were the first in everything.
Bro. It's no doubt that Jamaica is a special country. But as a Jamaican I disagree. There is a lot of things wrong with Jamaica. That's why Marcus Garvey 's last words were "Jamaica is a ridiculous place. Jamaica is indeed blessed with talent, but if you think it's the greatest country in the world, then you are indeed ridiculous, just like the country !!!
SO WHY JAMAICANS TRIED TO KILL POOR MARCUS,HE HAD TO HIDE IN ST CATHERINE HARKERS HALL DIST,THEN STOW AWAY ON A SHIP TO ENGLAND. YES WE NICE BOSS BUT WE EAT OUR YOUNG.
Because he was not no puppet or uncle Rukus.of the WS regime of the USA . while he tried to save the black nation everywhere, others like w.e Dubois ,tried to destroy hm out of jealousy . his trusted black american ship captain sunk his cargo ship .,named the Yarmont. .[.check pls]..at J edgar hoovers and the FBI request to destroy his shipping company ..then invented mail fraud against him to deport him in chains to england ,.jamaicas slave capital. The usa president and FBI labeled him the most dangerous man to The USA .,hence all the attacks against this African from jamaica who dare challenge the evil destrucción of black people .from Africa to the Americas. This man is beyond great.
If Jamaica is the greatest in the world, why so many begging to leave the country. Thousands live in England, America and Canada and have no intrest in returning. Not even my husband who is a Jamaican.. Nuff Jamaicans living in smaller carribean islands and have no interest returning. I speak with many Jamaican about this and they mention the suffering, the economy, the high violence and crime. I travel to Africa, the amount of Jamaican living out there.. If its the greatest why so many want to leave...?
Some people are brainwashed. However the ones that leave sometimes do better in other countries, and are better able to educate and provide for people back home. Most Jamaicans that migrate contribute to the country that they choose to reside in. Jamaicans are hard working people.
Jamaicans are not the only ones who leave their country, the riches countries in the world and people still leave, I would live in Jamaica now if the opportunity presents itself. chat bout
I agree with you 💯 %. I live in the U.S. and would never return to Jamaica to live. NEVER. and if Jamaican was so great, why is the U.S. embassy overflowing with visa applicants daily? In Jamaica, there is an old saying “self praise is no recommendation”
Read the history of Jamaica,coming from the slave movement . It is called the History of Jamaica.You have to know where you are coming from or you won't know where to go!!!!
What constitutes greatness can we define that? We were great before the 1980s, when we produced educators and contributors to society but not now. We allowed brain drain because of politics to decimate our country. We are at the highest murder rate per capita and size of country. We produces nothing that contribute to nation-building. Athletes, dancehall artistes, scamners do not contribute to nation-building. what do we produce what is our legacy we have now become an acidic country run by dancehall artists and rappers. They will never be in the history books.. We have discovered nothing. Let's start looking on great country that adds to civilization.. When we celebrate dancehall artistes, kerosene, criminals whoever they are as leaders of a country we are a lost country. Rethink your title brother. Listen today's edition of Politricks Watch and see who we are NOW as a country. Listen and learn and see how you and I can help change the ACIDIC CULTURE.
What does that have to do with migration? American, Canadian, Dutch, Chinese living in Jamaica , Just like Jamaican living elsewhere!! People dont run, unless there’s conflict! People migrate, and has been doing so since the begining of time!! The fact that people live in the greatest country , does not stop migration, so i dont see your point!!
Bob Marley and the Wailers shut down the commodors Lionel Richie”at Madison Square Garden, NY 1980 No group has even done that in the history of music.
I am sure that they are almost a million Jamaicans who are living overseas in a foreign country like Canada, USA, Uk and other countries. I guess that they prefer living in those foreign countries than living in Jamaica.
you must go and study the Garifuna people!!! from ST vincent. they are the ones we study in eurupe, they or the badest from the caribbean. they was the most fearful the west. the Garifuna people fight the british for 300 years. when Haiti was in slave/ the Garifuna people was free, in St vincent. but they don"t teach you guys about them.
Something tells me you are Garifuna pretending to be European. That's not cool. And if they were revered in Europe their history would have been taught in former colonies. Yet that isn't the case. You'll see more Jamaica influence among urban and even suburban ppl than any other islander or central American. This is why you are here on this video about jamaica(ns) and not the other way around.
And big up to Haitians. I see Garifuna here wants to style the people who ACTUALLY did free themselves and didn't have to take 300 years of warfare smh.
THE PEOPLE WITH THE BIGGEST MOUTH ARE USUALLY THE ONE'S WITH THE MOST COMPLEX. PEOPLE WHO ARE TRULY GREAT NEVER HAVE TO GO AROUND TELLING IT TO THE WORLD. IT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.
Dutty Boukman “Book-man” he was a very large man, the Haitian people thought he was invincible and as a result they chopped his head off to show that he wasn’t invincible at all, he was a leader of the Haitian revolution war, he was born in Senegambia which is present day Gambia, he wasn’t born in Jamaica he was bought to Jamaica as a slave but later ended up in Haiti where he became the leader of the Haitian revolutionary war, he was also a voodoo doctor feared by many they celebrate his birthday every year in that country. I wouldn’t say Jamaicans are the greatest people, that is a bold statement. Alexander Hamilton was one of America’s founding fathers he was the first treasury secretary of our country under George Washington’s leadership, he was born in Nevis, he couldn’t be president because he wasn’t an American born. Thomas-Alexandre Dumas was born in Haiti and was a commander of Napoleon Bonaparte army. So, you see, there are a lot of great people from the Islands in the West Indies. I could name a lot more but it would take a lot of times.
The only reason why bookman was great is because he was raised in Jamaica and nobody knows those people you talking about much, Remember bolt is the greatest of all time
@@RichardWillis-fn4hgwhat are you even talking about. Anyone who has studied black history should know these people. This "Jamaica is the best" is just egotistical nonsense
If Jamaica is the “greatest country in the world “, why do they have to have burglar bars on their houses? “There’s non righteous no not one “. Romans 3:10-12.
Visit Australia--especially the Eastern part, and then come back and tell us why you thing Jamaica has more or better. Remember, Eastern Australia is tropical. It has white sandy beaches, "wood and water", etc. Everyone should love their country but should also be careful about hyperbole. Its like Americans saying the US is the greatest country in the world yet theey have never been to Switzerland, Luxemburg(?), France, etc
@@RichardWillis-fn4hg Jamaica, Cuba, Japan, Sweden, Germany, Norway, Finland, Malta/Gozo, Ireland, Spain, Italy, Switzerland,Turks and Caicos, Cayman Islands, Mauritius, the Maldives, the Seychelles, Canada (assuming by America you meant USA) amongst others
Bob Marley is a sell out of his Brethren which he wasn't a true Brethren he was after the money and that killed him. So to me Bob Marley hang on to Peter and then dispise him .
There is no greatest country in the world. In Jamaica, the healthcare and educational systems are broken. Corruption is rampant roads suck. Water and current come and go. Don't be delusional.
😂😂 BOB MARLEY WAS GREATER THAN MARCUS AND NO JAMAICA NO HIP HOP, REGGAE, MARIJUANA CULTURE, NO TRUE BLACK POWER IN THE WORLD BUT FOR RASTAFARI WHICH JAMAICA PRODUCED AS WELL AS REVOLUTIONARY IDEOLOGY.
@@barringtonedwards7008no stop it Jamaicans didn't create hip hop ,where you been? Black Americans got the net on fire debunking this lie, most Jamaicans didn't even like hip hop rap in 80s early 90s in NYC
Very arrogant and ignorant people ...only saying this because you all still put certain people on pedestal for money. Unnu don't even know your Caribbean people...unnu same ones sell out Marcus...how come it took so long for modern Jamaicans to acknowledge Garvey...Jamaicans claim that they are not African defendants...you talking bullshit everyone's country is the best in the world ..shut up...if you had.military mite. Why...are wo doing enough killing our own...Chinese deh pon captured land.
RASTAFARI AND BOB MARLEY AND NOW DAMIAN MARLEY AND SIZZLA WHO ARE ICONS AND PILLARS AND LEADERS OF OUR RASTAFARI CHURCHES. WE PRODUCED THE MARIJUANA CULTURE. IT WAS ALSO BOB AND PETER WHO MADE DREADLOCKS ACCEPTABLE IN SOCIETY. THE RASTAFARI NYAHBINGI, BOBO ASHANTI AND COPTIC CHUCHES WERE BLESSED AND ACCEPTED BY EMPEROR HAILE SELASSIE I 1ST THE THE KING OF KINGS AND THE LORD OF LORDS AND THE CONQUERING LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH IN 1966. AND LEONARD HOWELL IS THE FOUNDER AND FIRST KING OF THE RASTAFARI MOVEMENT AND HE IS FROM ST. THOMAS JUST LIKE YOU AND MYSELF. RASTAFARI IS THE GREATESR THING JAMAICA HAS PRODUCED AND THAT INCLUDES BOB AND DAMIAN AND SIZZLA AND BOB AND MANY MORE😂. JAMAICA IS BEING HELD DOWN BY THE SAME PEOPLE WHO ARE HOLDING DOWN THE ENTIRE BLACK WORLD. SOON GENERAL ELECTIONS WILL BE CALLED AND DAMIAN MARLEY WILL ENTER INTO THE RACE TO BECOME THE 1ST PRESIDENT OF JAMAICA. 😂

I show your video to my neighbours who are Jamaicans. Dem laugh, laugh and laugh. They have no interest in returning back to Jamaica...
As born Jamaica, this is what American has been saying and guess what, God is very displease, so please.
If Jamaica is the greatest in the world, why so many begging to leave the country. Thousands live in England, America and Canada and have no intrest in returning. Not even my husband who is a Jamaican.. Nuff Jamaicans living in smaller carribean islands and have no interest returning. I speak with many Jamaican about this and they mention the suffering, the economy, the high violence and crime. I travel to Africa, the amount of Jamaican living out there.. If its the greatest why so many want to leave...?
U know the answer right?
Some people are brainwashed. However the ones that leave sometimes do better in other countries, and are better able to educate and provide for people back home.
Most Jamaicans that migrate contribute to the country that they choose to reside in. Jamaicans are hard working people.
Jamaicans are not the only ones who leave their country, the riches countries in the world and people still leave, I would live in Jamaica now if the opportunity presents itself. chat bout
Because we can go wherever we want we're not control . But we big up wecountry every time . 🇯🇲😍🎉🎊
I agree with you 💯 %. I live in the U.S. and would never return to Jamaica to live. NEVER. and if Jamaican was so great, why is the U.S. embassy overflowing with visa applicants daily? In Jamaica, there is an old saying “self praise is no recommendation”
Where is the greatness of Jamaica show me we can't even feed ourselves

Read the history of Jamaica,coming from the slave movement .
It is called the History of Jamaica.You have to know where you are coming from or you won't know where to go!!!!
Thank you!!!
Thank you sir
Jamaica's reputation globally is tarnished by your high crime rate.
been years Melanin
What constitutes greatness can we define that? We were great before the 1980s, when we produced educators and contributors to society but not now. We allowed brain drain because of politics to decimate our country. We are at the highest murder rate per capita and size of country. We produces nothing that contribute to nation-building. Athletes, dancehall artistes, scamners do not contribute to nation-building. what do we produce what is our legacy we have now become an acidic country run by dancehall artists and rappers. They will never be in the history books.. We have discovered nothing. Let's start looking on great country that adds to civilization.. When we celebrate dancehall artistes, kerosene, criminals whoever they are as leaders of a country we are a lost country. Rethink your title brother. Listen today's edition of Politricks Watch and see who we are NOW as a country. Listen and learn and see how you and I can help change the ACIDIC CULTURE.
Cobblers, if it was so great nobody would ever leave.third generation born in london still call themselves jamaican...😅😅 its a Chinese colony
If Jamaica is the greatest country in the world why do so many Jamaicans want to run off and leave and some never return.
What does that have to do with migration? American, Canadian, Dutch, Chinese living in Jamaica , Just like Jamaican living elsewhere!! People dont run, unless there’s conflict! People migrate, and has been doing so since the begining of time!! The fact that people live in the greatest country , does not stop migration, so i dont see your point!!
Youre not dense, right!
Jamaican also make great contributing possitivly to every country they inhabit, which makes them an asset , not a liability!
Bob Marley and the Wailers shut down the commodors Lionel Richie”at Madison Square Garden, NY 1980 No group has even done that in the history of music.
Colonized minds are a bottomless pit. Jamaica and Jamaicans are the Greatest on the planet. ❤🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
I am sure that they are almost a million Jamaicans who are living overseas in a foreign country like Canada, USA, Uk and other countries. I guess that they prefer living in those foreign countries than living in Jamaica.
freedom of travel stupid.
you must go and study the Garifuna people!!! from ST vincent. they are the ones we study in eurupe, they or the badest from the caribbean. they was the most fearful the west. the Garifuna people fight the british for 300 years. when Haiti was in slave/
the Garifuna people was free, in St vincent. but they don"t teach you guys about them.
Something tells me you are Garifuna pretending to be European. That's not cool. And if they were revered in Europe their history would have been taught in former colonies. Yet that isn't the case.
You'll see more Jamaica influence among urban and even suburban ppl than any other islander or central American. This is why you are here on this video about jamaica(ns) and not the other way around.
And big up to Haitians. I see Garifuna here wants to style the people who ACTUALLY did free themselves and didn't have to take 300 years of warfare smh.
4 DONKEE YES
You put out click bait fishing for a response Jamaicans are everywhere except Jamaica is Jamaica on fire
THE PEOPLE WITH THE BIGGEST MOUTH ARE USUALLY THE ONE'S WITH THE MOST COMPLEX. PEOPLE WHO ARE TRULY GREAT NEVER HAVE TO GO AROUND TELLING IT TO THE WORLD. IT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.
Isn't that the case with ?
Who going around the world boasting?
@@nicolov827 absolutely 💯..I can read between the lines. Lol 😂.
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 best in the world for jamaicans
A little less than 3 million living on the Island, abt same living elsewhere ..
Only 1.5 living elsewhere.
SOP THE ARROGANCE BRO.
.....HUMBLE. URSELF...........JAMAICANS ARE KNOWN FOR THIER HUMILITY ...............WHERE DID THIS HYPE STYLE COME FROM....
Dutty Boukman “Book-man” he was a very large man, the Haitian people thought he was invincible and as a result they chopped his head off to show that he wasn’t invincible at all, he was a leader of the Haitian revolution war, he was born in Senegambia which is present day Gambia, he wasn’t born in Jamaica he was bought to Jamaica as a slave but later ended up in Haiti where he became the leader of the Haitian revolutionary war, he was also a voodoo doctor feared by many they celebrate his birthday every year in that country. I wouldn’t say Jamaicans are the greatest people, that is a bold statement. Alexander Hamilton was one of America’s founding fathers he was the first treasury secretary of our country under George Washington’s leadership, he was born in Nevis, he couldn’t be president because he wasn’t an American born. Thomas-Alexandre Dumas was born in Haiti and was a commander of Napoleon Bonaparte army. So, you see, there are a lot of great people from the Islands in the West Indies. I could name a lot more but it would take a lot of times.
There needs to be a Caribbean History book/series or STUDY, to consolidate the great ancestors who have led the way to greatness.
The only reason why bookman was great is because he was raised in Jamaica and nobody knows those people you talking about much,
Remember bolt is the greatest of all time
@@RichardWillis-fn4hgwhat are you even talking about. Anyone who has studied black history should know these people.
This "Jamaica is the best" is just egotistical nonsense
@@jamiesimms7084 BOLT is the greatest
@@jamiesimms7084 u is it bothering? Mind your nizniz
ST. People speak the best English
Keep dreaming
Greatest but lead the world in crime 🤔
Which country are you from?
If Jamaica is the “greatest country in the world “, why do they have to have burglar bars on their houses? “There’s non righteous no not one “. Romans 3:10-12.
To each is own, this is the most biased commentary on any topic i have ever seen.
Visit Australia--especially the Eastern part, and then come back and tell us why you thing Jamaica has more or better. Remember, Eastern Australia is tropical. It has white sandy beaches, "wood and water", etc. Everyone should love their country but should also be careful about hyperbole. Its like Americans saying the US is the greatest country in the world yet theey have never been to Switzerland, Luxemburg(?), France, etc
Well america is definitely in the top three greatest nation on earth if not the greatest
@@RichardWillis-fn4hgAmerica is not in the top three at all
@@jamiesimms7084 tell me three nation greater than USA?
@@RichardWillis-fn4hg Jamaica, Cuba, Japan, Sweden, Germany, Norway, Finland, Malta/Gozo, Ireland, Spain, Italy, Switzerland,Turks and Caicos, Cayman Islands, Mauritius, the Maldives, the Seychelles, Canada (assuming by America you meant USA) amongst others
@@jamiesimms7084 how are they greater,what makes them greater?
Correction, Jamaica produce the greatest people in the world.
Cobblers
Bob Marley is a sell out of his Brethren which he wasn't a true Brethren he was after the money and that killed him. So to me Bob Marley hang on to Peter and then dispise him .
There is no greatest country in the world. In Jamaica, the healthcare and educational systems are broken. Corruption is rampant roads suck. Water and current come and go. Don't be delusional.
Always boasting about Jamaica
Don't see any logic in your reasons come some better topic I of to press the dislike button
You not mekin any sense..
U can't spell
Nonsence,very arrogant statement not enough significant evedence to substantiate your claim No disrespect to bro Marcus.
😂😂
BOB MARLEY WAS GREATER THAN MARCUS AND NO JAMAICA NO HIP HOP, REGGAE, MARIJUANA CULTURE, NO TRUE BLACK POWER IN THE WORLD BUT FOR RASTAFARI WHICH JAMAICA PRODUCED AS WELL AS REVOLUTIONARY IDEOLOGY.
@@barringtonedwards7008no stop it Jamaicans didn't create hip hop ,where you been? Black Americans got the net on fire debunking this lie, most Jamaicans didn't even like hip hop rap in 80s early 90s in NYC
Very arrogant and ignorant people ...only saying this because you all still put certain people on pedestal for money. Unnu don't even know your Caribbean people...unnu same ones sell out Marcus...how come it took so long for modern Jamaicans to acknowledge Garvey...Jamaicans claim that they are not African defendants...you talking bullshit everyone's country is the best in the world ..shut up...if you had.military mite. Why...are wo doing enough killing our own...Chinese deh pon captured land.

So outside of sports, reggae, jerk and tourism what else does JA have?
A variety of fruits, friendly warm people, healing mineral waters, just to name a few
RASTAFARI AND BOB MARLEY AND NOW DAMIAN MARLEY AND SIZZLA WHO ARE ICONS AND PILLARS AND LEADERS OF OUR RASTAFARI CHURCHES.
WE PRODUCED THE MARIJUANA CULTURE.
IT WAS ALSO BOB AND PETER WHO MADE DREADLOCKS ACCEPTABLE IN SOCIETY.
THE RASTAFARI NYAHBINGI, BOBO ASHANTI AND COPTIC CHUCHES WERE BLESSED AND ACCEPTED BY EMPEROR HAILE SELASSIE I 1ST THE THE KING OF KINGS AND THE LORD OF LORDS AND THE CONQUERING LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH IN 1966.
AND LEONARD HOWELL IS THE FOUNDER AND FIRST KING OF THE RASTAFARI MOVEMENT AND HE IS FROM ST. THOMAS JUST LIKE YOU AND MYSELF.
RASTAFARI IS THE GREATESR THING JAMAICA HAS PRODUCED AND THAT INCLUDES BOB AND DAMIAN AND SIZZLA AND BOB AND MANY MORE😂.
JAMAICA IS BEING HELD DOWN BY THE SAME PEOPLE WHO ARE HOLDING DOWN THE ENTIRE BLACK WORLD.
SOON GENERAL ELECTIONS WILL BE CALLED AND DAMIAN MARLEY WILL ENTER INTO THE RACE TO BECOME THE 1ST PRESIDENT OF JAMAICA.
😂
He also mentioned great revolutionary, political leaders.
Great leaders, world leaders and great pholidophers
