Damian Marley completely outdid himself on these two verses. This is easily one of the greatest ever pieces of poetry in music history. It's awe inspiring.
One of the Greatest albums of all time… my favorite rapper and my favorite reggae artist.. I had just got out of prison in 2006 when I first heard it.. I was like 🤯.. I was so happy to be home… been home ever since…
I know this is probably TMI or whatever but this album has a special place in my heart. I had a best friend in high school that I showed this album to and he loved it just as much as I did. We’d play video games; smoke weed, study, etc. just playing this album to death. Later, we grew apart and he got into hard drugs. Which unfortunately led him to breaking into somebody’s house and getting shot by the home owners. We didn’t have any pictures together or anything like that. But this album is one of the few things I have to remember him by. I know I have a biased emotional attachment to it but even that aside, I think this is one of the most underrated albums in hip hop history. I barely ever hear anyone talk about it, let alone even know it exists. But the instrumentation; vocals, lyrics, vibe, delivery, flow, etc. is all just perfectly constructed. It’d be cool if they did more work together. RIP Skyler Weisberg
Medication, patience, welcome to jamrock, road to Zion, and speak life are my top 5 favorite Damian Marley songs, but all the rest of his songs are awesome too. I know his father is proud of him!
eye love Nas forever....maybe the dopest ever....but what Damien "Jr.Gong" Marley did on this album should be studied in museum's...really really listen...he is "rapping" .....amazing...peace to Bob Marley and the whole Marley-verse!
Glad I see others commenting how much they enjoy this album. I remember seeing a lot of reviews claiming this was a mediocre project. It’s not groundbreaking or anything, just a really enjoyable solid album in my opinion. These guys had good chemistry.
Hip Hop and reggae are like brothers. Many of the founding fathers of Hip Hop were of Jamaican or Caribbean heritage and borrowed from the culture of reggae. The idea of the DJ being the feature while the emcee draws the crowd, travelling sound sytems, even crews & competition was inspired by reggae. That said, there was a time in the 90's where dancehall and Hip Hop collabs became popular. Check out "Hip Hopera" with Bounty Killah ft. The Fugees. Oh, and if you enjoyed Damien's take on the rich going to the moon, you might wanna check out "Honkeys on The Moon" a spoken word by Gil Scott Herron (precursor to the spirit of Hip Hop) it's a bit radical, but the point is definitely made!
Thanks for the info! I'll put Hip Hopera on my list. I looked up the Herron piece - It's called Whitey on the Moon which I like better. It makes me laugh.
I remember I bought this album, and how I was blown away by it 🔥🔥🔥 I was already a Nas fan for years and years, and I always appreciated music from the Marley's. But damn.. .. what a great matchup Patience is a very nice song too, slow, chill, perfect music to smoke to.
When people talk about and rank their favorite Nas records they shit all over this record, and I honestly don’t understand why. This album with Marley is damn near perfect to me, one of my favorite projects by Nas easily. Heavily slept on GEM.
@@ABoomerReacts oh no not at all. Nothing is touching Illmatic. Nas has like 18 records…the record with Marley I rank it alot higher than most, but not better than Illmatic!
THIS IS SICK! What a great idea. I’m 51 now even though I still feel 22 or 26 or some shizzle. Damien blows this song up! Peace ☮️ - oh, I liked and subscribed. Good luck on your channel.
so many good songs on that album. it kind of went under the radar, they released it with alot of videos but little promotion. my favorite was the one where Damien raps about all of the cities in Africa and then Nas relates each city to a place in America. I thought that concept was very very cool. Nas and Damien Marley - Promise Land. But there are a handful of songs from this CD just as good or better than this one. It was a very organic collaboration that worked extremely well, randomly!
@@ABoomerReacts 100% it would be "Land Of Promise" I think its one of the most creative songs i've heard in years. And it opened my mind to the parts of Africa that I really didnt think about before in relation to a city comparison to United States. You cant go wrong with most of the songs on this album!!! So happy you did these ones.
I watched these two live on the tour.. unreal.. and i never get tired of listening to it.. its a shame it did not get the credit it deserved.. one of the best albums to be overlooked ever
Wow nice selection! I always felt like this album was slept on. It got plenty of rotation from me. I never gave much thought to what patience meant in terms of the song, just always liked the track. Love this album, another great reaction.
I absolutely love this channel so much! Best thing I've discovered online in a long time. I love how you're totally immersed in the songs and artists, and want to know as much as you can about them. It's so genuine and wonderful.
I feel like this is one of the best Nas' verses of all time. Even when he starts speaking before the verse and says "when you feed people the truth you don't know how they're gonna react" sends chills down my spine. I can tell the subject matter took you by surprise haha a song when one has to digest it and let it sink before forming an opinion about it
Yes, but that's the nature of reaction videos. One listen and I have to tell what I think without the benefit of repeated listens. Nas is the King of Deep.
Thank you for reaching to the track, cause the music video has some stanzas cut off. Great song, goes well with Tupac+OutLawz's The Good Die Young! They both have deep meaning, it's like continuation
@ABoomerReacts Strong will continue when you get the chance. Same album. It's definitely a vibe. I know you said you don't like album reviews but it's a gem in whole. A group thats taboos Dead prez. I suggest listening to the aonyamd deciding if you can do it, hence why they aren't done . Shit figure it out! I know u can!
Hey brother - re your comment about hip hop and reggae - Jamaican toasting mcs and sound trucks late 60s were the inspiration for the dj/ mc set ups in the Bronx, and jamaica swerved from reggae to dancehall at about the time rap bumped out most soul. Then fugees and lauren hill was a more recent bridge, as you mentioned. See run dmc roots rock reggae, and also Bob marleys punky reggae party for him describing the Kingston/ London punk connection.circa 1979 for another overlooked joint...
@ABoomerReacts We are seeing 👀 it already in the Western world they are losing control, and powerless Europe 🇪🇺 is colonized by united state of America 🇺🇸 and no one have respect for them who ever think that it come a time like today ? No one
@ABoomerReacts The world Sabali, which means patience, is the language of a tribe called mandingo . They are telling others that they should be patient the Western world their time will soon come to an end
You have a good concept for a channel, I wish you all of the success. My only advice is that you just put out as much content as possible. At least 7 times a week. I do editing for youtube channels and podcasts, and volume = success most of the time. Keeping a tight schedule as well helps.
First time hearing it, it's a nice mellow song. Rappers been doing reggae since the 80s from what I've heard. RUN DMC had a song called Roots, Rappers, Reggae and UTFO's song Pick Up the Pace has a cool little reggae break in it. Heavy D has some reggae songs. Alot of rappers made reggae songs back in the day. You should do a new rapper day, because you play certain artists more than once, expand your horizons. You play cool stuff though.
@@ABoomerReacts I'm old school, and back in the day it was always about who's new and dope. You're missing out on alot of cool stuff. The best rappers aren't the ones that sold the most records or who's most popular. In my opinion most rappers best stuff is their first couple albums, after that their just trying make stuff to sell, and it ain't nothing new just sounds the same. I even like British rappers, cause it's a new sound to me. It's still cool a boomer is learning about rap and not being a hater.
You need to react to the whole album and more Damian Marley. As great as Bob Marley is, Damian is more geared toward Hip Hop listeners because of his lyrical style
If your open to adding some reggae to your list please add: Welcome to Jamrock title track to the album Welcome to Jamrock (2005) by Damian Marley. Off the same album Road to Zion feat Nas. Reggae heads said it sounded too hip hop for reggae. I thought it was fantastic. I blasted that album for years.
I just have two suggestions: 1. There's a website called Genius that has all the lyrics of songs like this one, but when you click one each bar, you get an explanation of what the artists was trying to say (long time fans contribute these explanations). Even as a huge fan of these rappers, it's super difficult to catch what they're actually saying sometimes. What might seem like a simple bar might have hidden meanings, sometimes multiple meanings for the same bar (double/triple entendre). So I'd suggest trying that with artists that have a little more complex lyrics. 2. For some of these songs, the videos are part of the experience. You reacted to Busta Rhymes - Gimme Some More, and the video for that is 70% of the fun. If it's important enough, like with that song, I hope people suggest you watch the video instead 'cause the lyrics aren't as important as the visuals.
If I can't find an appropriate lyric video, I go to Genius and scroll as the song is playing. But before I hear the song, I don't want to click on the highlighted bars because I don't want to know anything about the song. After I finish filming a reaction, I watch the official music video; and if I feel the need, I will check out Genius. Watching the official video during my reactions has been a debate on this channel. Check this out: ua-cam.com/video/uDs0zObxn3s/v-deo.html
Raggae and Hip Hop have had a close relationship probably since the early 90s. You should check out Damian Marleys "Welcome to Jamrock". There are many more collabs and "raggamuffin" style raggae artists throughout hip hop. It's a perfect blend based on the roots of African beats and sounds... Great reaction...
The seeds for that blend was planted early with DJ Kool Herc. But KRS was the biggest artists that watered those seeds in the late 80s and early 90s. Especially with records like "Black Cop" & "Sound of da Police". You also had Super Cat doing Hip Hop remixes and working with Heavy D in the same time period.
thanks mr boomer. i guess this song helped young disoriented people to ask there selfs "are we growing wiser or just taller" and maybe some start questioning there behavior and made them want to be wiser. i realy like that song it s refreshing in a music industry wich was/is promoting the wrong things or literaly just things. usualy in rap music, the singles were songs wich the artist did specialy to be able to be played on the radio and tv, something for the big public. And the other songs were for the fans those wich will listen to the whole album. you migth realize that the singles have less curses and the beat migth be more medolic and not as hard.
Great reaction! Please please react to either of these two: Dave - psycho Akala - fire in the booth (part 1, 2 and 4 are good) Both uk artists - subscribed and liked
Thanks for the sub! Believe it or not, Psycho is already on my list. I didn't even remember it. I'll add the Akala songs. Are the Akala songs all freestyle?
@@ABoomerReacts you’re welcome! Great to hear psycho is on your list! Akala’s are “written” freestyles but doesn’t take away from the talent, the content of his rhymes are excellent you’ll definitely enjoy
Thanks for calling them "written" freestyles. One of my big pet peeves on this channel is that off the dome freestyles and written freestyles are both called "freestyle". They are two different things.@@11_panda
I always took the wet mud reference to be about Jesus healing people by rubbing mud on them. He’s basically pointing out how we have forgone spirituality in favor of science
Fire reaction please kindly react to Lyrical joe 5th August 5 over 60 bars and flow switches , he is embodiment of weezy Kendrick , Eminem , 2pac Biggie ...
Would be better if you reacted to what you actually like and don't like about the song. You seem pretty unimpressed yet you said Nas was great. But you didn't say why or what lines stood out. Reaction would be better if you dove into what the song made u feel and if you liked it or not.
Thanks for the feedback! It's difficult for me analyze songs after only hearing it once. But that's what reaction videos are. I didn't say if I liked it or not?
@@ABoomerReacts I understand you might need some time to really breakdown the entire track. You summarized the lyrics instead of pointing out the rhymes you thought were perhaps polarizing or interesting. Or even if you liked the beat. You.mentioned how it sounds like a song you would listen to on a dark night drive, I agree. But that was really the extent of your analysis. I would watch more reactions if you dug deeper in explaining your stance on a song. You seemed unimpressed by it but at the same time somewhat intrigued yet you really didn't get into if the song did anything for you.
@A Boomer Reacts only watched a couple. I would say you would get more views if you took a few "risks" with what you're hearing. People wanna know if A. You like what you heard and B. The reasons why or not.
Damien's first verse is easily one of the greatest verse I have ever heard in my life..That is perfection.
Facts! Best intro
Both verses
Goosebumps every time
THE GREATEST COLLAB of all time
Damian Marley completely outdid himself on these two verses. This is easily one of the greatest ever pieces of poetry in music history. It's awe inspiring.
It's one of the more poetic songs I've heard on this channel.
One of the Greatest albums of all time… my favorite rapper and my favorite reggae artist.. I had just got out of prison in 2006 when I first heard it.. I was like 🤯.. I was so happy to be home… been home ever since…
Same man my favourite rapper and reggae artist making a collab album was truly a dream come true. Glad your doing well bro
I'm happy you're home, too. I bet this album takes you back to that joy.
@@ABoomerReacts definitely 👍🏿

What did u do that landed u in jail?
Wow this is a nice surprise. This whole album is absolutely incredible!! I’d suggest putting more songs from this album on your list.
I have 10 on my list.
One of the most slept on song of all time . Incredible song from two incredible artists.
Damien Marley is a lyrical genius
The hook and main sample are from a African song “sabali “ by amadou and Miriam
It’s just one of those undeniable songs ✌️
Thanks for answering my question!
"Africa must wake up."..is a great song off this album. my favorite...

Distant Relatives has a lot of fans on this channel.
This whole album is an overlooked gem man, definitely recommend listening to the full thing whenever you get the chance.

Ah, thanks for clarifying. It was probably written that way but my mind put the "Jr" at the end where it usually goes.
Bar code 8 - lyrical joe
Thanks! That's my first Lyrical Joe request.
I always took the wet mud reference to be about Jesus healing people by rubbing mud on them. He’s basically pointing out how we have forgone spirituality in favor of science
Thanks for sharing that. I like to think that I have a healthy combo of the two.
Fire reaction please kindly react to Lyrical joe 5th August 5 over 60 bars and flow switches , he is embodiment of weezy Kendrick , Eminem , 2pac Biggie ...
Thanks, James! It's rare that I react to a song that was recorded after 2010 but I'll still add it to my list.
React to Lecrae anomaly album
Thanks! That's my first Lecrae request. Give a song title.
Well i dont even know you but i know you were born in 1956
You are correct. I'll be 67 in a month.
Would be better if you reacted to what you actually like and don't like about the song. You seem pretty unimpressed yet you said Nas was great. But you didn't say why or what lines stood out.
Reaction would be better if you dove into what the song made u feel and if you liked it or not.
Thanks for the feedback! It's difficult for me analyze songs after only hearing it once. But that's what reaction videos are. I didn't say if I liked it or not?
@@ABoomerReacts I understand you might need some time to really breakdown the entire track. You summarized the lyrics instead of pointing out the rhymes you thought were perhaps polarizing or interesting. Or even if you liked the beat. You.mentioned how it sounds like a song you would listen to on a dark night drive, I agree. But that was really the extent of your analysis. I would watch more reactions if you dug deeper in explaining your stance on a song. You seemed unimpressed by it but at the same time somewhat intrigued yet you really didn't get into if the song did anything for you.
@@cameleyez I'm sorry. Do you find that true with all the videos of mine that you've seen?
@A Boomer Reacts only watched a couple. I would say you would get more views if you took a few "risks" with what you're hearing. People wanna know if A. You like what you heard and B. The reasons why or not.
@@cameleyez Hmm. I recall saying Patience is an awesome song.
Your wrong YOU MISSED THE WHOLE MESSAGE!!!
Was I supposed to get the point after hearing the song once?
just found this channel, subbed immediately for the good vibes🔥
Thanks for the sub! I'm glad you found me.
