During 1970 and 1971, Wailer, Marley and Tosh worked with renowned reggae producers Leslie Kong and Lee "Scratch" Perry.
They released four albums before signing to Island Records in 1972. Two more albums were created before Tosh and Wailer left the band in 1974, citing grievances over label treatment and ideological differences. Marley carried on with a new line-up, including the I-Threes that put out seven more more albums. Marley died in 1981.
The Wailers were a groundbreaking ska and reggae group, noted for songs such as "Simmer Down", "Trenchtown Rock", "Nice Time", "War", "Stir It Up" and "Get Up, Stand Up".

If she's amazing, she won't be easy.
If she's easy, she won't be amazing.
If she's worth it, you won't give up.
If you give up, you're not worthy.
...
Truth is,
everybody is going to hurt you; you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for.

Thry tried to kill this man multiple times, assasins shot him, eventually it was "cancer"
Bullsht, it was probably poison, bruce lee too.... "cancer" his son? Shot from a real bullet filming a movie, they "forgot" to check the gun properly.....
Bruce and his family made Chinese mafia mad these are all easily googled facts by the way...
How you finna not check a gun on a massive movie stars movie set? Hows a real bullet make it on set?
Come on...
Kennedy and Marley? Probably CIA....
Marley started the first big black name in showbiz sure there were priors in jazz but Marley had the real rasta island real un American brainwashed black man...
And that scared them. Like Bruce scared his opponents. Epstein scared them. Theyre here. Watch what you say and do outside your homes as tempting as it is to be a revolutionist it has risks. At home? Defend it with physicality if need be. Practice striking offense and defence and wrestling offence and defence. I live in Toronto Canada no guns allowed only Gangsters carry them illegaly here so I leave long strong poles around the house......
A long life ia desire able. Healthy one. I'm not saying be a mute but find that balance of voice and defensiveness.
Bless. 100. ➕
