Bob Marley performed the 'One Love Peace' concert in Jamaica with the two different warring political sides. There's always been that in black music and culture in general. It's no surprise because black music is such a reflection of what's going on in black life. It's not unusual for hip-hop.

Bob Marley stood for universal peace and love. He tried to break racial barriers.

I am a leader. Leaders always get heat. They're always going against the grain. Jimi Hendrix got heat Bob Marley got heat Miles Davis got heat. Every great artist got heat. Heat means you're doing something right.

That's the best way to feed the human mind. That's how Bob Marley did it. He never put it in your face. After you got the groove you were just singing the hooks because you thought it was cool.

I think that generally music should be a positive thing I like Bob Marley's attitude: he said that his goal in life was to single handedly fight all the evil in the world with nothing but music and when he went to a place he didn't go to play he went to conquer.

I listen to every thing all kinds of stuff. I've been obsessed with the Nas and Damian Marley record 'Distant Relatives.' I feel like a lot of people haven't heard it and it's amazing.
