I think scratch perry means that bob want to be famous (god) and the cocaine thing is like a synonym for that bob marley get out of control because he grows bigger. Lee scratch perry didn't want to be so famous like bob wants in that time. This would be my translation about what he said with the cocaine.
Fitness,real talk, coke,lsd,opium,it was one of the agenda, which,they use the beatles, music group,and rock n roll,to push it,to destroy, people,wise mine bro.
He said it himself. If you know Bob and you know his music, he's certainly came right out and said it. I went downtown I saw Miss Brown She had brown sugar All over her booga-wooga I think I might join the fun But I had to hit and run See I just can't settle down In a kinky part of town Kinky Reggae.
Lee Scratch Perry is a brilliant song writer and music producer and I have much love for him. However, it's difficult to escape the thought jealousy may have motivated his stunning accusation of Bob Marley.

Many Jamaican artists, especially from the 70’s and 80’s used cocaine. Gregory Isaac was a coke head. I actually did coke with Eekamouse here in NY after his set was finished.
They were close no doubt, he's really the 4th original Wailer, the tracks they laid down are timeless. Scratch was there in the beginning of beginning & again later in life, he helped Bob conquer his duppy perhaps cocaine was his duppy. He says he gave Bob Punky Reggae Party, Duppy Conqueror & a few others. Personally I believe there's truth in what he says & that he liked to blow it up , or embellish to get a rise out of people & make us think.
They weren't close ...the mouth says anything...he sold the rights to the wailers songs and from that they are no longer friends...lee says he was happy the cancer humble him ..trench town rock according to lee they were throwing shades at him
That man looks like a crazy,mad and duppy!!! Lee scratch makes no sense when he speaks, no more than an idiot!!! This doesn't mean that I hold Bob Marley in any high esteem, even if I like his music. The more I listen about Bob Marley and from some of the statements from some of his children, I'm getting convinced that he was a gimmick!!! An artist/musician affiliated with deceased Joseph Hill of Culture, told me that Joseph Hill told him that Bob Marley took cocaine.
Looking back @ this man in past years, he appears to have always been a little crazy. I feel like he was jealous of Bob. He wants to be so critical of Bob but failed to mention how he took the music he did with Bob and sold it in England. I listened to an interview by one of the Wailers that spoke of this.
,...and you think ,.. ( this ) man is Mad ,..? If you only realize how Significant this interview is , ... And I am not just talking about the Cocaine use.. because at this point every one knows....DEEP INTERVIEW.. I AM gonna watch it again and again....
Lee Perry is merely ranting as an eccentric old man! Marley was a simple man! Not saying whether he took cocaine or not ! But Bob Marley was the greatest musician out of Jamaica! Period! Like Marley himself sang 🎼 “ Good friends we ‘ave oh good friends we’ve lost…along the way “! Perry was a friend he lost along the way! I wouldn’t put but a pinch of salt to his eccentric rantings here!!
Love him(LSP) muzic……I could definitely be wrong,Bob is ah man Suh if him use Coke no surprise,still I Neva hear Bunny,Peter,Rita,Marcia,Judith,NUH ah di band members mentioned anything like that….
I just finished watching another interview with him where he keeps saying he don't smoke and God don't like you to destroy your lungs. He went on about cigarettes being a Sin. But here he is smoking...
Yeah, it's good to see lee give it a rest. It's amazing that when a man is considered famous, how much crap we accept from them as we follow blindly. Bob had his own gifts like everyone else and we don't have to try and take away his to prosper our own. I look to God and Bob did too and that makes the difference.
I struggled to make sense of some things he said in this interview, he doesn’t seem like he’s all there does he? The way he even talks makes you wonder how true his words are. Talking about programming Bob from death, who in their right mind would say that?
In the book from Rita Marley "No woman No cry" there is a part where Rita tells that they get invited in someones house and there both get a pill of some kind a drug. Maybe it's true but idk.
It's not good to speak ill of the dead as they cannot defend themselves I am sure Bob had flaws but it's not classy to start speaking bout them now let him rest in peace
It’s not really relevant,Bob was a prince among men,there was a line of people a mile long out of his hope rd residence with them hand out,the man never refuse anyone,he was a saintly person,god rest him in peace,he wasn’t the only one to get caught up with the devils dandruff,he was only a human being.
If you meet this guy in the streets,and you dont know its lee scratch perry wont you kinda say,"look at dem old mad man",he looks like a mad man with side mirrors on his cap,this is what excessive ganja do to you.
Kern Spencer must stop press the man for negativity. Every one knows lee Perry is not too collective!! Please leave the legendary Bob Marley alone and stop digging up dirt on him!! You bloggers will do anything for views!! Go find some other “bright” idea!! 💡
Look, he’s just being honest, you can see it in his eyes, his movements, you never lived with bob marley like that man has. Who are you to say? Tell me, look into real History and try to find one horrible fact about a hero of yours. Seriously, go take a look fr.
Lee Perry is not too collective. You must be an absolute idiot. He produced some of the best music to come out of Jamaica. Including Bob and the wailers. He doesn't get a mention in most of these albums because he was just making music with friends but do Yr research before being so critical.
When you are looking with the spiritual eyes u can't see what's going on....then you said people are mad... madness is a state when the mind is dead ... the mind is dead when it believe lies...truth is life and light to a mind that is spiritual.
Bob was invited by some friends to try it , I think Jaggar was one of them , bob try it once by taking little and never try it again . He wrote the song kincky reaggae about this inciedent .
Nuff a unu feel a foolishness the elder a talk but unu bo have no wisdom so unu shall know hear the breda say don't take cocaine unu beat listen wise words and stop play fool

I heard about Bob Marley & cocaine years ago. His Manager Don Taylor in his book 'Marley & Me' mentioned Ziggy walking in on Bob with white stuff on his nose. And Bob said 'Is powder'
Jah army ... jah nah partial ... the wages of sin is death ... yah has no partners n is not the messiah or ever walked earth as a physical man... #12TribeTing 🐺🦁👑🙌🏽🔥👹🦝🐍🔥
But why he didn't say it when Bob was around. It was Destiny. He came he did the work and he finish. And the man gone home. Bob is the world greatest. Me a tell you mankind no easy. The man dead and hear what you saying. Most people in show bus take coke. That not anything new. Run way .
I think he's referring to cocaine in a different form. Like maybe cocaine is a term to him for the devil.. He's not talking about the drug cocaine he's just using that word to describe the bad in fame.
