Bob GOATED but kinda fell off after 73. still, the music 69-73 makes him fully deserving of legend status. i like his music more than MJ for sure but that's subjective
The effects of not writing with Peter Tosh def showed, but c’mon bro you really wasn’t f***ing with Exodus, Kaya, or Uprising? Even Babylon by Bus is an amazing live album
Man said all of this and forgot Man In The Mirror
lol i'm biased tbh I listened to every Bob Marley album and only heard 6 MJ albums soo nvm
I know MJ had Earth Song and They dont care about us but those were the exceptions, Bob Marley had Zimbabwe, Africa Unite, Who the Cap fit, Positive Vibration, Johnny Was, Pimpers Paradise, Concrete jungle, Babylon System, No woman no cry, Redemption song, Running away, exodus, iron lion zion, buffalo soldier, get up stand up, war etc....
Before MJ black artists had to beg to be on the main radio channels.
Off the Wall sold 20m copies yet for Thriller they had to write to the stations begging for them to play Beat It and more.
Don’t talk s***.
I pray for the day you can praise one icon without having to tear down or belittle or compare them with another.
Bob was great. MJ was great.
This s*** is so tired.
MJ is bigger in charts and as pop icon
Bob Marley is bigger as a revolutionary, he motivated people fighting colonialism, promoted peace and he made people worldwide question their life choices and values.
Bob Marley's music made you think and change, MJ's music made you dance.
soo I agree with her, Bob Marley is bigger than MJ in the ways that matter.
Nah. This ain't it.
Bob's a GOAT and deserves his props but MJ had plenty of socially conscious music.
Hell, even "Remember The Time" was conscious.

see now I learned something new thanks bruh I had no idea about this
Breaking news: Jamaican artist thinks highly of the most famous Jamaican artist to ever live.
I'll give her a a pass on this
Cuz she fine af
Let her cook
I see Bob Marley T shirts but I don't see MJ T shirts.
Europeans

I’m outraged.

songwriting still great, the production is the issue. i like uprising, its his best post 73 record. i like the the other records you mentioned enough, but they do not compare to burnin, catch a fire, or especially the scratch stuff (some of the greatest music in any genre imo). production is completely neutered.
listening to exodus and comparing it with the stuff coming out of black ark at the time, the joe gibbs production, keith hudson etc. from the mid 70s, there is no comparison
i do love bob marley and the wailers though, one of my favorite artist of all time
