Happy 69th Bob! 10 Hip-Hop Songs Mentioning the Reggae Legend

common

“Real People” – Common

Unlike Gucci, Common displays knowledge for Bob further than the “common” knowledge of the fact that Bob Marley smoked weed (It’s cool though Gucci, I still love you). In verse 2, Common raps, “I wonder is the spirits of Bob Marley and Haile Selassie watch me as the cops be tryna’ pop and lock me.” Bob and Haile were both significant members of the Rastafarian movement. Babylon, in Rastafari belief, is taboo, and officers of the law are no exception. What? Do you think Bob was joking when he said, “I shot the sheriff”?
