[JeTAimeComa]

shut up stupid people and listen music kurwa mać

[jslewis65]

great insight, this song was written after 1973, sometime in 1979 or early 1980 this is Tosh 4th full international record

[frankchacho]

Grande peter !!!!!

[DreadMike73]

I never heard of this song but he's singing about what going on today and it's sad that he wrote about this before I was born and I was born in 1973.

[mwasi04]

A sad thing to hear in this song is that when he made this song some twenty years ago, To see the same issues continue to plague our societies today in 2012. sad

[zxingzxing]

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, stave off from all that is irreligeous and sacrilegious in this fallen world, for the demons are out to sequester your perpetual soul. ~' Steppin Razor

[zxingzxing]

Everybody have a metaphoric Crystal ball in them head, many people crying for hope, emancipation from the woes of this life, yet when they wake up is a pipedream and reality is facing you in your face, so keep on looking at your crystal ball, Jah Rastafari, Courtesy of Steppin Razor (c) EMI Records Inc, 2010

tunezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!

[Jimbabwe16]

Smoking on that Bob Marley, listening to P. Tosh

[meltthecelt]

Tosh was magic! Rock on....

[sunburst01979]

i heard this playing at the african festival in brooklyn yesteray. love it!

[ReggaeMan443]

Peter Tosh is so inspirational. Its kind of sad that him and Bunny are so underated! People are missing out :D

[muchikun]

@ReggaeMan443

.-. No one can rate anyone else. If you mean underpopularized then I get you, but Tosh and Wailer both knew themselves to be awesome musical talents.

[spyceminx]

Chuneeeeeeeeeee!!! Peter Tosh my favorite wailer.

[oliverjoel66]

come on people i didnt know bob peter or bunny in fact i have never met not even a jamaican artist in my life but i do think that bob and tosh at any point of this life they were real good friends ...maybe time and life experiences changed their relationship but come on it is really stupid finding people trying to compare two stars in the universe ... both give us great shining and that is what bob and peter are so please !!! no fight !!

[brycejo6]

man all these o.g. reggae'ers are the best

[superjoe10001]

Peter Tosh was ahead of his time amazing jam.

[empresaduff]

BOB MARLEY IS AND 4EVER GONNA BE THE KING, tosh is very good but, bob marley MASTER

[KingMellow11]

@empresaduff If Bob is King ,then Peter is Emperor

[TheRastachick1]

Hmm.. interesting debate below. However, my question is why are we stuck on race, ethnicity. If you really listen to both Marely and Tosh they do not specifically addresss "race inequity" They talk about it more in the context of class. NOW THERE IS WHERE YOUR DEBATE SHOULD BE!! We are like crabs stuck in a bucket trying to claw our way out and not truely focusing on who put us in the bucket. SOCIAL INEQUITY IS WHERE IT IS AT !!!

[MrMarkieraye14]

@TheRastachick1 Yeah. They were all about equal rights and justice for all mankind. True, our race - Africans - were seen to be the most oppressed but they did not confine their message to Africans. It was global.

[paiasc82]

tosh the king!!!!!!!!!!

[jawara25]

My Dear Rah,

If I am racist for loving my own people then i am a proud racist, nothing wrong in standing for your own and loving your own. i dont have no problem with the KKK and others for being with their own because everyone should be able to love their own to the fullest, with every spit in their mouth. if whites had never denied us of our contributions in life, we would not have had a problem. now we have to live a life proving how great we blacks are.

[jawara25]

I really don't know what world you are living in but you need to wake up and look around you carefully. Blacks are still being hate upon. Most white people still hates blacks, still jealous of blacks, still envy blacks. The european concept of life is a violation of harmony. look at Russia and the USA with their struggle to conquer the world, it makes no sense . the world is out of harmony because of these european fools. they are not only out of harmony with life but with common sense.

[Rahavin1]

@jawara25 you, my friend, are what is out of harmony... stop hating! stop your absurd racism! whites are not less than you but are your equal, as all human beings are! and no... most whites are not racist... That is so ignorant and hateful to say. I dont know where you get your info. Remember the liars, damned liars and statiticians? one of those groups is feeding you what they want you to think... think for yourself

[littlefiend1]

rasta is not a peace and love movement you hippies. If you don't respect me, I'm dangerous.. I kill the sheriff.. don't disrespect them, they won't offer the other cheek....

go in the montains of jamaica you'll see.

[321Aceking]

Irie ;) 10 Stars!! Awesome Love Love Love~ ;)

[harris211279]

wicked song omg

[dubefanatic]

Jeez i wish some of you would not leave any comments. 1. you speak a lot of rubbish. 2. I don't even know what the hell you are syaing cause it makes no damn sense. so jus listen the music

[COCOSHIVAS]

[lgkilla1]

[kkonzin]

[jalbroven91]

@kkonzin *true ...but agreed

[NaturalBornKillahs]

@kkonzin raspect selah brotha

[BlessedGanja]

@kkonzin RASpect!!

[JahRootsRockReggae21]

stop talking about dumb ass shit just listen to the fucking music they didnt make this for you to keep on dividing yourselfs grow up loose the egos

[45greyowl]

Tosh and Marley were both prophets.

[BlessedGanja]

@45greyowl Jah Jah Know, Scream it from the mountain tops bredren!

[elephungus73]

Little more just marketing. Tosh was on a B line for confrontation. Bob understood he would reach the masses with Love. I'm a huge Peter Tosh fan but his militant posture put him in the sights of the man and eventually his end. His lyrics couldn't be more spot on and the world is a lesser place without him.

[TrenchtownBongs]

I love his militant approach as i love the opposite approach by marley.

[playin4chubbs]

bob marley was just a more marketable musician, it was peter tosh who was the brains behind the wailers - tosh was the man- marley's still cool

[TheJulienT]

Culture Man is restoring, resolving, and repairing Africa as you read and listen this...

[jawara25]

how can u ever say that Culture Man hasn't done anything, restore, resolve or repair Africa. You need to read more whoever u are and research before voicing an opinion. Tosh restore my mind, he took me out of mental slavery, he repair dignity and identity. I am an African descendent and all other black people("don't matter where you come from as long as you're a black man you're an African") whatever he did for any black person, he did for Africa.

[pilchardman101]

im glad you speak english and have access to a computer...... thank you slavery

[jawara25]

I can tell you are either some white person that cant deal with the truth or you some black brain-wash person that needs to do some serious research on world history to see where black people came from and what they did for this world as a whole. To remind you, you should know that black people history never started in slavery. remember it was blacks that build the pyramids and set the blue print for every other race to have religion.

[Whiterioot]

makes me sad that you still use the word "race". There are no races, humans all belong to the same species. You should know that, especially if you're black mate.

[jawara25]

Yes RACE. There's no such thing as human race. every race are different my brother. Black People are Religious People, they are Spiritual people. the whites dont know nothing about religion or spirituality. Europeans are "Power Oriented People, If they ever try to live by the true meaning of democracy and religion, they are done within 24 hours. Blacks Humanity has been their down fall.

[Whiterioot]

mate, you use a word invented by a white explorer. He used the word "race" to show that the white european people had a higher value than the, as he put it, "the black beasts of africa", this was when africa still was a land only for africans.

Im not black, infact im white european but I had nothing to do with what others white europeans has done, im an own individual . You cant call me brother mate, since to you im only a white suppressor . Thats makes me even more sad.

[jawara25]

ok my bad you are not a brother and sense you are not a brother there's no sense of looking any friendship. we never had friends then and we haven't had any now either our best friend is in the mirror. the world will never know piece until we all acknowledge who set the foundation for civilization and religion and give them the respect they deserves.

[Rahavin1]

@jawara25 I think that Tosh would say we are all brothers

[jawara25]

Rahavin,This don't have nothing to do with racism, you probably thinking racism because you are guilty of it. it is rather strange that when blacks start talking about loving themselves and being black they become racist, reverse racism. every race on earth worship their own GOD's, what is wrong with us blacks. why must we worship something that dont look like us. Religion reflects on culture and our culture is not European. The european Religion does not fit black people temperament.

[Rahavin1]

@jawara25 I think that Tosh would say we are all brothers (and sisters).

[jawara25]

@Rahavin1. No Tosh never would of said we are brothers and sisters, but Ziggy Marley did !

[Rahavin1]

@jawara25 i dont think that debating racism against a racist such as yourself will produce any positive results. All we can do is prevent such thought, and hope that those who think as you do posses the intelligence to see the truth... ONE PEOPLE ONE LOVE ONE STRUGGLE! peace.

in your view, are Asians black or white? are they a spiritual people? and what does "spiritual" mean in your view?

[pokersuperstar]

@jawara25 your ignorance makes me laugh and sad at the same time.

[jawara25]

@pokersuperstar you are not black and never been through any Holocaust so therefor i cclearly sympathies with your feelings but i must say also that theres no need to be SAD about this because you will have more to be Sad about!

[Rahavin1]

what're your feelings on people who aren't white or black?

[hilaryme]

There is only one GOD

[Rahavin1]

your a damn racist. Dont be judging someone you never even met. Anyone can get peace. we're all our own people.

[Rahavin1]

@jawara25 wow... your ignorance is shocking... you are classing whole groups of people together and giving them single traits and values. this is obviously a false way to classify individuals, as you yourself have stated as having singular traits from person to person. wake up, because your hateful way of viewing humanity is dead and never has been credible.

[jawara25]

Rahavin1.I really don't know what world you are living in but you need to wake up and look around you carefully. Blacks are still being hate upon. Most white people still hates blacks, still jealous of blacks, still envy blacks. The european concept of life is a violation of harmony. look at Russia and the USA with their struggle to conquer the world, it makes no sense . the world is out of harmony because of these european fools. they are not only out of harmony with life but also common sense.

[blackadonis1000]

culture man may look and tell but he done nothing to restore, resolve and repair africa.....!!!

[rasngonde]

Response to white supremacy is not black supremacy! grow-up fools and don't tarnish the legacy of Tosh with racism...rasta's strife 4 a world that works for everyone, all God's children "in the image & likeness of God" So take ur racism and shove it!

[elmojarju]

Africans are most loving to all creation- your comments are rooted in guilt. if you are a good person don't sweat it , but do reframe from insulting people by calling someone a fool -- that is so vile and repugnant.

[kkonzin]

jah rastafari peter tosh is the the men not bob marley he is a great men to i now but peter tosh learn he play gitar that mine that peter tosh its the king of reggae and i love bob marley

[sweetpane]

[grubashu]

For christ sake guys, No race is the superior race.. We are all equals..

Untill the color of a manskin, Is no more significant than the color of his eyes, I HAVE GOT TO SAY WAR - Robert

[iks3es]

[SoundOfPollux]

[soldierofgraffiti]

[SmokeingEars]

Oh my God..I renoune God..Oh my dear fuckin' GOD

[SmokeingEars]

[Magadlela]

like it or not, blackman is the best, superior,etc etc, sin

[onelove972]

everyone is born with the same abilities it depend after on your surrounding and situation how you evolve, its true that black skinned men were the first being on this creation but it was a long time ago and rite now you cant tell me all black skinned men are saint and all white skinned are evil it just wudnt be coherent!

Bless

[Magadlela]

listen man, black is beautiful thats why all you white folks do your best to get tanned - ffod for thot. for instance no matter wat u do u cant be rasta let alone grow dreadlocks

[Magadlela]

all these 'unholy' blacks are tying to emulate them white folks

[karrera94]

wow no need to be racist im white and not racist u cant just say all dumb people are dumb and black are smart.

sad

[jcecdank]

just for the record im white too. doesnt make me stupid though

[jcecdank]

i know youre stupid cuz you used "jazzy", "african", and "folksy" to describe the song.. how lame can one be.. now i KNOW youre white and the exact type of people this music is talking out against.

[jcecdank]

shut the f*5^ up tupac is not even close to being compared to this guy. take your mtv ass somewhere else

[onelove972]

Hahahahaha!! Hahahaha!! so well said!! Hahahaha! nice one! mtv ass!! hahaha!!

[Magadlela]

blacks are the chosen race, sin

[CapsicumPlant90]

We're all the same, brother.

[SmokeingEars]

Look inna ya crystal ball dirty man!!!!

[jcecdank]

yea these ignoRANTS lol. notice above they actually thought my comment was only racially motivated. i never said its bad to be white and good to be black i said its bad to be ignorant. jamaica was screwed by the world bank and all im saying is americans should wake the hell up before it happens here since i already see it .. well i should say before it happens here AGAIN

[Pendulum711]

you would like this song 'midnight banking the pig' but dont get too excited its just the way the worlds been spinnin, its already changing with the noble politicians that are in office today :)

[Noelnsf]

Peter Tosh was such a vast and expansive musician. Like Tupac, his posthumas hits are endless. A few years back I heard a song of his on a local radio reggae show (kpoo in sf) that was really jazzy/african/folksy. It was really obscure. Anyone know what this may have been? And no it wasn't "Mama Africa"

[Rajkozuluf]

it could have been one of the songs from the compilation of recordings released on 2004 called "cant blame the youth" the tracks on that are all like that.

[lonlygirl8]

AMAZING FREAKIN SONG =]

[scheming8rythem]

"i see teachers striking""INNA YOUR SHITY CITIES."

LEGEND5*

[waniula]

im se full in poland

[baschten]

Not baad maan!

[guillaume14540]

yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Gretschdrums75]

IMO this may be one of the coolest reggae parts ever recorded for the modern drumset. The part grooves, breathes, has dynamics, flair and chops, etc. It has the sickest licks like at 1:20, 2:15, 3:11, 4:21. Sly is really badass. He has my respect.

[aamoreda]

fosho

[mateocardona1964]

Blessings everyone! Karmapa chenno!

[snookerphilp147]

[Jednoduchy]

Peter Tosh and Bob Marley 4 ever boys :-)

[weepingson]

i think hes better then marley

[sthamzen]

me i would say,Marley was great on lyrics,n Tosh was great on rythm.most of Tosh's song are flowing,eg.maga dog.but Marley was the great,even now,maaan.peace

[EarthDay16]

@weepingson That's what I was thinking, but Marley also put alot of soul into his music ya know. Both great :D

[manaseh]

Was going to secondary school when this Lp came out.I remember playing this track a 100 times!Like I always say,I love Bob,I respect Bunny but I admire Pitah.

[yerpee]

totally agree Love Bob respect bunny and ADMIRE Tosh yeh

[sevensclash]

AAHHHH!!!!!!GRACIAS..

[Dreestwd]

No hay de que, bro.

[FreddyT]

Look at his lyric and watch the news,today.

He's right !

[longneckshorty]

A sensational track by a superb musician and I never tire of listening to him.

Thanks for posting

[TruHead]

I agree too, 100%. Peter was the best. Sup with Peter's son - Andrew?

[ndh83]

He's around, and a pretty good guy. Times are different though, and not as many people are listening, unfortunately.

[Dreestwd]

Agreed entirely.

[hategrinder]

sorry , but my opinion is better than marley
