Obviously some users will like it and some won't. That's how a large community works.

I love it
Listened to this all during my first job in high school and it opened my heart to Jamaican music
Don’t really know how to keep up with it and have trouble expanding beyond this compilation though

Some Bob Marley is tolerable occasionally

Slightly Stoopid is pretty great if they can be considered reggae

Reggae is such horseshit, one of the worst genres of all time

>>74999850

just go on rym and check out the charts, or even just listen to the albums from the people who's songs you liked on there

>>74999808
>hehhee i cant see pictures of black people without being racist

>>74999688
Fucking hate it, seriously. The only genre that I seriously despise no matter what, the worst are those jam bands in bars near the beaches

>>74999936
have you ever actually listened to reggae apart from bobmarley_dontworrybehappy.mp3? youd probably like it

>>74999954
kys please, you're not the first person I've heard said the very same sentence

>>74999984
shush child just admit it you've never actually listened to reggae

Reggae had such a huge worldwide influence on popular music people should respect it maybe they just dont know

>>74999688
DUDE WEED LMAO

Ironically, I only got into now that I've quit smoking pot.

i like it a lot but have only found a handful of albums that have only stellar/good songs. a LOT of filler in a lot of albums that have maybe 1-2 awesome tracks

Pic related is my favorite album in that genre, not a single bad track on there.

>>75000024
>i will try to convince others that reggae is actually good only because i like the genre despite others don't
>i have a first-grade reading comprehension
What is " jam bands in bars near the beaches"

>>75000090
hating any genre outright is simply wrong. you dont have to actually like music but hating any genre makes it clear you dont actually see music as an artform but instead a mood enhancer

>>75000090
im still waiting for the confession that youve never listened to reggae

>>74999954
He has also heard bob_marley - alalalalalong.mp3

Can someone rec me a reggae mix that is all very religious and spiritual (NO CHRIST PLZ)

>>75000131
>>75000140
whoops i guess these anons have autism or forgot to take their pills or sometime, but i'm sure its easier to defend something you like on the internet because its much easier as you can't argue your case. Thank you for convincing me why reggae is even worth my time.

>>75000202
this is the most canned reply ever lol
feel bad for you

>>75000140
Reggae only appeals to island negros, rastas, rudeboys or pot smoking wooks. Just admit you are a wigger.

>>75000214
>he has yet to present a case for why i should listen to reggae despite can't getting into it
Low-brow reply ;)

what about dub and dancehall? plenty of good stuff in there that might appeal to anyone fond of bass music. Its like saying classical only appeals to snobs, aristocrats and pretentious idiots.

>>75000188
i hate bob marley so fucking much

>>75000239
Not a very healthy way of looking at music

Not a mix but mostly spiritual. Also check out the Nyahbinghi box set and Dadawah.

This is a factual statement.

You are the worst kind of person.

>>75000367

oh shit lol

i mean jah is "Jehovah" and rasta is an Abrahamic religion so you're basically fucked

but try The Abyssinians - Arise

is there any reggae that has lots of "tribal" drums and chanting?

I wish people would explore deeper into this genre. There is a lot of reggae that has nothing to do with the bob marley style of roots reggae. Studio 1 among others put out some absolutely amazing singles back in the day. I would also recommend focusing on singles because there is so much filler in this genre.

Im just gonna link some big tunes i like, i hope openminded folks would click here:

Bro not all abrahamic religions are Jesus centric and I think most reggae fans can easily differentiate between Rasta and Christian lyrics

>>75000330
ah, i see you were having a laugh! nevermind then

>>74999688
It all sounds the same

honestly what I dislike most about reggae isn't the music, but the fact that people talk about it, when they can't understand patois at all
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--1W3Kq_pfk
Just check the comments to this one.
The song is highly critical of consuming drugs when you can't afford them and doing so regularly. And yet, this is twisted into "dude weed lmao joker smoker every day hahaha so blazed rite now". But I guess that's what you'd expect from people who excessively consume drugs.

>>75000428
This tune I found yesterday
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gLKi5lumSw

>>75000448

word, i guess yabby is a bit of an outlier in that way even though i'm pretty sure he's a rasta

>>75000461
You have a point that a lot of people literally cant understand the lyrics

>>75000460
There's millions different types of reggae

Reggae's greatest contribution to music was the birth of dub (which is quite a compliment to be fair)

>>75000262
With all the weak replies I got above, I decided maybe I should give reggae another chance so I listen to that album posted, actually taking my time absorbing it and boy my opinion sure did not change. I hate to say it but I guess reggae fanboys are worst than metalheads, autistic and even probably mentally-challenged.

>>75000503
It really is a broad term like “rock” or “electronic”
There’s a whole world in there
People discount it, maybe they dont have the time

>>75000515

i mean okay but >>75000503

>>75000503
And they all sound the same.

>>75000509
And disco contributed to house music, whats your point again?

>>75000515
But you listened to christian reggae...

>>75000515
reggae isn't really about albums either

>>75000528
disco is great

>>75000515
What music do you like then?

>>75000528
I mean I don't like reggae so I guess my point is that reggae is bad

Ok thanks for the spiritual reggae suggestions.
Next someone please post the most dubbed out dubs you got
I want those rare dubs that make the gril dem put da pussy pon de cock thanks

>>75000528

oh yeah? Bounty Killer and Dennis Brown sound the same?

>>75000534

"His beliefs were markedly different from that of his Rastafarian contemporaries, believing in the divinity of Jesus rather than Haile Selassie I, earning him the nickname 'Jesus Dread"

Israel Vibration is pretty much the only reggae band I could stomach (well, their early songs).

By and large reggae is a low brow repetitive music for retards.

>>75000653
I like it
That said, it’s not really what i meant. Let’s see... Can anyone send me some heady dub that can like clean out my chakras? Maybe like the guy who made the dub also makes artisanal hash oil. He guards the secret to his oil tek as closely as the secret to his sound. This guy also probably doesn’t pay taxes
Does this exist?

>>75000628
amazing, the riddim sounds like gangsta rap

>>75000499
This. I'm always surprised by how few people realize that pretty much everything Bob Marley put out was religious music. Seriously, the guy talks about god and his religion all the time in his songs, and no one seems to realize it because they think "Jah" is just a random nonsense syllable.

>>75000720
>>75000720

Also this, recently copped it, absolutely mad.

>>75000709
So I just checked out this "israel vibration" thing.
No wonder you don't like reggae.

>>75000758
And to add to this (because I'm an idiot and forgot my original point), that's especially hilarious considering how seriously Rastafarianism is taken in most of the world. Bob Marley is massively popular, but he was essentially proselytizing for a religion that most people either don't care about or are somewhat hostile to. And people seem to have been okay with it because they didn't realize that's what he was doing.

It's kind of hilarious.

>>75000806
Thank you, ascending now.
OoOoooOOOoo I’m entering a visionary trance ooooOOoOooo omg it’s haille sellassie and he’s king of Ethiopia but it’s also literally heaven!
he is smoking a huge chalice.
His white slave is lighting the chalice for him with a golden clipper lighter
Omg he is passing me the chalice now, should i hit it?
He said i have to first “take this” and handed me what looks like a dragonball made of pure shatter.
He tells me to rub it in my hair, and when i do, my hair knots up into the nattiest dreads you ever saw.
Haille says I’m now an honorary Rasta and can take my place beside him in the kingdom of Jah as soon as i take this hit from the chalice
*hits chalice* oooOOooOooOOoOOOOOOOoo
Whoa... where am i? What is this? “/m...u/“? Ooh oh oh yeah, whoa what a wild ride
Thanks for the rec anon just what i was looking for

>>74999688

Reggae is awesome. Its groove and beats are genuinely infectious...unless your a dead inside Johnny Try Too Hard.

As for Marley- there is a reason why he inspired, emotionally moved millions if not billions of people Worldwide. its not cuz he sucked.
