[d0nk3yM4n]

@Kasekemwy You might find the intro to this song interesting, its a piece of Peter being interviewed. At least I find it very entertaining, song ain't bad either:

[1bumboclot]

Yay I found my theme song lol:)

[mashup121]

god exists only in the hearts and minds of the people who believe in him he is an entity that cause people to do good and be happy when they have nothing else to live for he was originally personification of the sun and stars and eventually the idea of his existence was manipulated by the government to control the people. natural selection, survival of the smartest and strongest. thats wt created the human race

[eyro192193]

@mashup121

God exists brother and he loves you, too.

Think just one moment about it, when everything had happen as you said...

there wouldbe no reason to live, no reason to die, no reason to love other people, no reason to feel happy. Why should you keep lovin your mom or your dad, why should you still love yourself? Senseless verything senseless, god exists and he works, he created you and all the people you love and of course them you arent loving yet :)

God bless you

[mashup121]

some people chat some utter bollocks. "man was created in stages (half-ape, half-man) by combining sperm of God's race the annunaki and clotted blood from an ape. Go to this channel, read the book of enki and you'll learn that Quran says the same (sperm and clotted blood). We may be from the ape then". no way can you actually belive any of this bull shit thats more far fetched than the storys the government feeed us every day.

[moodifi]

OOOh bumbooo klaaaat

what does dat "bumbo klaat" mean?

[ToOnzTheOriginaL]

@moodifi its a jamaican cuss word lol...

[Isil1972]

@moodifi It means "ass-tampon."

[moodifi]

@Isil1972 Loving helpful people.

Thank you so much ...

[openhead]

@moodifi bumbo klaat = blood klaat = rass kalaat. "klaat" being the jamaican-sounding version of "cloth," and bumbo for a woman's vagina. so a pussy cloth i.e., a feminine hygiene product.

[Soofmanchu]

@openhead Blood klaat is to the vaj what blood klaat is to the ass, aka ass cloth, also euphemismfor homosexual.

[kcoldkchill]

@openhead STFU

[MOZZASS1]

Wicked tune ,Rasta nuh sell out ,let it rip Peter BLAZE it under Babylon

[MOZZASS1]

Wicked tune ,Rasta nuh sell out ,let it rip Peter BLAZE it under Babylon

[KanoKazuma94]

bum=butt + klaat=cloth= asswipe

[sammarch24]

@KanoKazuma94 bumba = vagina clott = cloth = tampon.

[magivensphd]

Yes, these terms are filthy. However, they are curse words in Jamaica and you can be fined by the pow-lice for calling someone the names. 

[nevergetthenameiwant]

@magivensphd u knoow i craaacked UP when i saw this comment? right?!!

[RoyalCandii]

@nevergetthenameiwant O BUMBOCLAAT!!!!! WAH DEM NUH NAH WAH IT MEAN??? LOL MI RASSSSSS

[PunchytheBear]

Why aren't DEAF people blocked from voting on Youtube?

[ironlion925]

Rasta will tell everyone a we...I learned years ago you dont use language like that in GOOD COMPANY....

[truckerpunkblues]

Ok lets clear it up.A bumbo clart is a blood clot in the ass.A rass clart is a blood clot in the fanny.(Vagina,Americans) Now you know.....

[mincho178]

@truckerpunkblues its actually the other way around. Rass means ass and Bumbo is one of the many jamaican words for vagina. Clot is actually broken french for culotte, which were some sort of pants that looked like skirts wealthy women used to ride horses. The word was later associated with the English word cloth by the african slaves, and bumbo clot was the name they gave to the piece of cloth that a slave woman would wear between her legs during her period.

[mincho178]

@mincho178 this piece of cloth was considered filthy and dirty, like a piece of shit or as americans would say, a bunch of shit. This is the meaning of Bumbo clot in this particular song, but it may vary depending on the context of the sentence where its used. The patter of jamaican cursing seems to be filthyness, nastyness and dirtyness(i.e Dutty gyal , buggaman, pussyhole) rather thatn sexual degradation, as in american English(i.e cocksucker, motherfucker, son of a bitch)

[HalfandHalf1983]

Two thumbs up!:-)

[MrPappy1990]

what does that mean Bumbo klaat i mean

[Kisscak3]

@MrPappy1990 its a jamaican badword,u use it where you would use 'fuck' for example

[MrLacident]

hehe blood claak BABYlon dem african shit forever

[bashb1990]

@superabound

No, it literally means "cloth used to wipe your arse with".  claat=cloth, bumbo=arse. Jamaican swearing is wierd, it revolves around objects which are disgusting rather than crude colloquialisms like ours.

[adamtzsch]

@bashb1990 No shit? Interesting: thank you.

[getochild13]

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhag­gvghhh

[thecolaratlady]

[CourtneyAndrea1]

Awesome piece coming from Peter Tosh! What more could he say after those Atrocities and opression??? The Jamaican words in this lyrics I think were used in a very creative and artistic manner!!! love it peter!!!

[CourtneyAndrea1]

Beautiful piece coming from Peter Tosh. Just expressing himself by using the word of Arts coming from Jamaica.

[TheDutchHippie]

Peter Tosh played on the pinkpop festival in 1979, I remember him bringing his own cook and eating only shrimps the night. He was one interesting man. Also, Mick Jagger was his manager. Altough he refused to play the hit they had together that night. Strange that they turned in my eyes sacred ground into a little park. You can still feel the energy that's been there.

[Hathahasmeenay]

For all the foriengers, in JA it is spelt bumboclaat. This isn't a nice word! Neither is pussyclaat, bloodclaat or raasclaat!

[thecolaratlady]

@Hathahasmeenay What do all those words mean?

[juju1006539]

STEP IN RAZER CHOP UP BABYLON EVEN IN THIS 21ST CENTURY MUSIC STILL GOING STRONG THE WICKED BOMBOOO CLAAT

[ratsa4jah]

Could Any One Explain Bumbo Klaat

[yellowbookjones]

@ratsa4jah

Depending on its use, it is kind of like saying F*ck or f*cking. e.g. "I drove an hour and the bumba klaat shop is closed!" As far as this song, I'd take your own meaning from it.

[yellowbookjones]

@ratsa4jah

And there is a TON of meaning you can take from this song.

[ratsa4jah]

@yellowbookjones

Alright, Thanks, Peace And Love Brother,

[Xychk]

@ratsa4jah - sure- in the '50's it was "blood clot"-fucking *real bad* -like a stroke, or embolism- (what could be worse?)

And thats from folks that have lived in Jamaica for many generations-

How it became 'bumba klaat', is probably slanguage from the old colonial dutch element that still lives in the Caribbean.

[abf5280]

@Xychk

at least according to an old patois dictionary:

blood clat = bloody cloth, as in a woman's bloody tampon.

and

bumba clot = bum cloth = a shit stained piece of toilet paper

[MrBusk09]

@abf5280 thats what it literally translates to but there just cus words

[stah1973]

@ratsa4jah In case Wikipedia is banner in your part of the world: " "Bumbo" refers to "bottom" or "backside", and "clot" to "cloth". "Clot" has also come to mean a used tampon (...) Some also take the "clot" to mean "cunt". John Levy claims that "The phrase bumbo klaat is one of the most coarse expressions in Jamaica. If used publicly it is a jailable offense." "

[palme54]

bomboooooo claaat !!!!!

nice tune but di next time plz write bombo claat not bumbo klaat

[Xychk]

@palme54 -Nah- Im tellin you true- its _blood clot_ originally, and it means roughly, "fucking bummer".

Now can you tell me what "Rass, Buckra" means? (i know this one too)

[TheNikitakilla]

The greatest wailer to bumbo klaat.

[rasmosiah33]

TELL BABYLON BOUT DEM BUMBO KLAAT.

[lorenzoinnabenzo]

RIP, Roll It Phat, up in heaven Peter, Amen

[BLACKIESBOY]

@lorenzoinnabenzo

Sattamassagana for Peter and all of his brethren

[SavingPrivateBob]

@lorenzoinnabenzo Just going to point that Peter didn't believe in a heaven above ;) Nothing but stars up there mate. Ethiopia is a Rastafarian's heaven, and Jamaica is their hell

[ratstaroots]

@SavingPrivateBob

jamaica is their hell?

[SavingPrivateBob]

@ratstaroots Well, according to the studies conducted 30 years ago into their religion...but yeah, just by listening to their songs people should know that they believe we have one life and that's it...only our spirit/legacy becomes eternal.

[oravcik]

there's so much fantasy about rastafari on internet... so it is when people want to comercalize it .. well Jamaica is not hell.. but its true, InI see heaven right here..

[Dmitjrew]

@SavingPrivateBob LOL. But according to the Bible paradise gonna have place right here on New Earth. There's no heaven as the chuch teaches. According to the Book of Enoch our spirits go to special chambers which are close to JAH. Good go to one of them, while evil to another. They await their judgement there. Ressurection shall take place on New Earth and New Jerusalem shall be our reward. There's no heaven after death where you exist and are a spirit and can't peform things that belong to body

[SavingPrivateBob]

@Dmitjrew #did Peter study the Bible?

[Dmitjrew]

@SavingPrivateBob as far as I know he was a Rasta and had to read the Bible to know about the Lion of Judah. But he spoke of another worlds. What I have reached is "Naahnikki" on youtube. Ezoteric knowledge that tell us that man was created in stages (half-ape, half-man) by combining sperm of God's race the annunaki and clotted blood from an ape. Go to this channel, read the book of enki and you'll learn that Quran says the same (sperm and clotted blood). We may be from the ape then.

[we4zell]

@Dmitjrew I love seeing young people thinking for themselves. We will find soon that via the Sumerian and Bablylonian recordsd, that people like Z Sitchin have giving us back our true cosmoogy as well as our true creation. The evidence is showing up all over time in many different aged civilizations. Yes, the Annunaki created us in our current form about 250,000 years ago to mine their gold. In the records, where they created us was called E.Den and we were the A.Dam.U. Millions of corelations

[we4zell]

@Dmitjrew II had no idea Tosh was even mentioning and hinting at some things like this until awhile ago. In our country and time, where the scientific process is more censorship than anything, we cant expect scientists or those in the know to come tell us. But other countries are at least more open minded in talking about the truth. We are not from ape. they tried many different times to make an intelligent and subserviant worker. They missed with the chimps and great apes, IE Gorillas, etc

[we4zell]

@Dmitjrew I DNA was taken from the most advanced homonid here on the planet when they started their expirements in E.Den.They even had slaves among themselves and were very aristocratic.The annunaki slavesgot very mad after 150,000 years of hard labor. I think they created ALL the varieties of great apes and chimps, Oragutans. Anything with our hands exactly was an attempt at the A.Damu. The Sumerian record is now vast and will soon be the most important store of knowledge ever.Moses copied it

[we4zell]

The Rasta Farians and Ethiopians also regard to a Holy Book of theirs called the Kebra Nagast. The Lost Rastarian bible. There are many interesting things in there but all on the same page of copying the Sumerian record as Moses did to write the Torah. I know that hard's core, but its true. The Kebra Nagast talks about Solomon flying everywhere and landing on the Mounds of Solomon. It talks about the race of giants and then many hybrids in between. Taking all the wisdom textx in, Booyahh.

[lorenzoinnabenzo]

These are some of the greatest comments i've come across Yet

[negrilsun1]

in time like this we have to cuss bumbo klaat to bumbo klaat. R.I.P

[zxingzxing]

Oh Bombo Clat, oh rasta,I and I met Peter aged 18 years when he was on a stop off tour of the UK, the guy was tall and awesome to look at, in many ways i was awe struck by his presence, but all in all he was very pleasant and spoke so very eloquently, he certainly came across as being very well self educated ironically by the very shitstem he detested. God Bless you my dear friend Peter, RIP. Courtesy of Steppin Razor and not Stepping Razor as Peter was also known as, note the difference.

[WatusiReggae]

I met Peter when I was 18....change my life. He was a truly good man and live by his words, strong with love. Bless....
