  • foolish comment mexican,

    they all are 3 kings

  • In this day and age i think the US is reluctant to let the rest of the world see the wrong they have done. Therefore they will always let others be a scapegoats.

    It is up to each individual to sort the fact for the fiction.

    Mugabe WAS a great leader. But he have shamed the people of Zimbabwe by failing to listen to the majority of his people. It is clearly time to let go of the controls and let Zimbabwe grown as an adult nation.

  • lol at the lady on 31 seconds - not impressed. Clearly deaf. KMT.

  • old day

  • truly love Garnet and all his songs especially dis one i dedicate to my mama

  • this is my best song. for my mom

  • Garnet at his best. My favorite by him. RIP

  • yea i totally believe u

  • dis iz fire!

  • classic... port antonio drapers heights... jamaica jamaica ..bless up!!

  • He really loved his mother, they set his gas on fire and blew up the house, he got away, but he went back to try and save his mother, but not one make it out alive, he was burnt badly. he sacrifice his own live for his mama, his lyrics is right on point, he said mama you can depend on me now' and she did, but sadly they both died because of BAD MINDED DUTTY PEOPLE, I lived a block away from him at the time it happen in Jamaica

  • Oh that is felt in my heart...how anyone could do that to such a one like Garnet. Dem lost...Garnet and his mama in paradise so...

  • i think u have ur facts wrong no one set his house on fire it was an accident, a friend was showing him how to use a gun he borrowed after his house had been burglarized an it accidently went off

  • tune dey man.nough respect garnet.

  • I love Garnett and only heard about him 2 years ago and cried for 3 days as if I lost my own brother

  • i saw him live when he came to the UK many years ago. this is one death i will never get over.JAMAICA YOUVE MESSED UP YOURSELF BAD I DONT EVEN WANT TO GO BACK. YOU KILL TO MANY PROPHETS.

  • RiceMilk,

    teknote jamaica could never kill more good people than the british even in a million years. membah dat

    b4 u point fingah at sufferah-pickney check yuh monarchy & parliament and ask dem what they've done to instigate chaos amongst jahpeople

    u don't want to go back, i understand and respek dat. the frontlines of the struggle are always dangerous but keep di faith and don't forget to burn babylon b4 yahd

    wstern cvlztion has kept us in the dark ages for too long

    hotep nigga

    peace 2 da gods

  • i know and agree with you but i am concerned @ BLACK on black violence.Its childish. MY own grandad was murdered because of the filthy discusting behaviour of wicked bad minded fools.The day all jamaicans wake up & turn the guns on the wicked DEVIL supporters in JAMAICA & refuse to war with each other who are all poor peolpe will be a great day.the only thing owr people are good @ right now is preparing for a funeral! BUSH is the DEVIL why is he not dead.why dont we kill him insted of each other

  • ricemilk,

    tru black on blak violence is an issue. but it is often stated as if it is unique to black peoples children.

    White on White violence has been even worse. (yet it is not used in argument in the same way Blak on Blak is used against Blacks)

    Ever Heard of WW1 & WW2?? Bosnia? Georgia? etc. White on White.

    In reference to the WE in your last sentence. Remember that WE is me & u. Not them.

    I am working on my end, don't sleep on yours.

    Hotep Niggas.

  • Im from Zimbabwe and we have the same debate amongst ourselves. People want to hate so much on Mugabe but they forget that the sanctions from America and Britain is what is really killing the people. Its true Mugabe is not a saint , he has murdered and killed political foes..but the biggest enemy for us is the imperialists who want to take the best of our land. JerryDon22 and Ricemilk you are both right the biggest foes are USA and UK who keep the majority of the world in poverty and suffering..

  • Its' so sad that he died.I love this so song so much.He is truly being missed.

  • dem nuh stop kill off di prophet dem as dem rise dem kill dem off and meck it look like accident, who next ? every time jamaica produce a prophet dem find ways fi get rid a dem or tun dem in a coke head.

  • When did he die?

  • in the early 90's

  • dec 94

  • Wonderful, beautiful, so loved my so many.

  • Garnet was only 28 nuff love

  • lol it was di adda way around his mother was in his arms....

  • I bought all his records when Garnett was king, taken so early in his career, he would have been bigger than Bob !!!!!!!

  • i alway say that because he sings much more concious songs than bob. what really happened? how did he died? i was only 7 at the time

  • Hi

    I have a copy of John Masouri's obituary somewhere, I'll scan it & e-mail to you, read it and weep. John knew Garnett and had interviewed him a few times and told me what a great man Mr Silk was R.I.P.

  • please hurry and send it to me. thanks

  • @sweetspice1986 how can u compare 1 conscious singer 2 another, u mean he appeals 2 u more than bob? every1 has different taste, its no competition spice, how can consciousness compete with itself.

  • how can fools say he was'nt as good as beres, glen et al? the man was a legend who could of gone onto greater things, he died trying to save his mother both were found in each others arm.

  • Priase my Brethren! He went into the house and saw his mother dead and chose to wrap his arms around her and die with her. If that is not love I don't know what is. He is a Legend and a well RASpected man. I loved his music so much. Jah Guide & Protect, Jah Bless you Mr. Silk & funkg!

  • um he burned down his mothers house by accidently firing a shotgun in the propane tank...he made it out but then went back in for his mother.

  • amazing song, amazing man!! R.I.P Garnett Silk..

  • The Garnet Silk era what a era it was/ many artist today have to do so much to get the crowd hype/ but Garnet just had to come and the stage and sing with passion, This singer right here blessed and cameto do this work/ had the biggest impact and me, words words cant describe, he said it reggae leading the ppl to righteousness/ and the many agrees
