this song helped me get through my existential meltdown. hell if the clash said everythings gonna be alright who the hell am i to argue?

[samsmacdaddy]

This is truth. The Clash did reggae better than most when they were doing it. Even better than many of the originators. Disagree if you want, but this reggae fan of 45 years, knows what is truth.

@IAMTHEMONSTERMASH well i guess your the only one who thinks so

[IAMTHEMONSTERMASH]

this song is absolute shite compared to the rizzle kicks version, fucking copying twats

[sammyramone91]

@BillMeister123 Not heard the song but I assumed they must have sampled it, and i looked it up n oh my gosh they did, so, in your words, how come those rizzle kicks guys stole the clashs' music? you dumb cockend how can you possibly think that the clash just released something a few weeks ago, when this video was posted nearly 5 years ago when rizzle kicks were probably 16, and the clash disbanded in the 80s, you stupid tard, you shouldn't own ears.

To the absolute morons who are like "ahhh yeah, Rizzle Kicks, yeah, ermm, yeah, aye, ermm aye they are better than the Clash" ...have you gone mad? You think that some cheap chart artist is better than THE CLASH, are you actually for real?! "Rizzle Kicks" completely ripped off this song. This is a video of THE CLASH, not your daft little Rizzle Kicks so do us all a favour and get lost.
