Tarrus Riley A Fake Rasta Disguised As An Artist? || The Fix Podcast 

The title of this video is disrespectful to Tarrus. He is one of the greatest singers to emerge this century. Not EVERY song a Rasta sings has to be about Rastafari. Rasta has evolved. The world knows what Rasta is about now. This is not the 70's. Once everyone understands that, then such "discussions" will take on a new approach to the topic.

I can't say Taurus is a fraud or fake Rasta since he usually carries himself wìth respect and stays away from bullshit 🤔🤦🏿‍♂️

Rasta is a peaceful man don’t show off and just humble person ..in my eyes 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

Riley is good in my book ,, he makes good feeling music ,every rasta don't have to burn down the building to be a rasta ,,,BIG UP TAURRUS KEEP THE MUSIC GOING. BLESS

Tarrus is a real PERSON before anything. That’s speak a lot in itself. In this day and age it’s hard to find that. All he does is express through his music who he is and what he represents.

Move unuh bomboclaath Taurus Riley a legend and one a the man dem weh a try keep the unity ina the music

Tarrus has achieved a great balance between Fari and being an Artist. He has done songs that represent Rastafari, one thing I have to give him kudos for is that he hasn't done any hyper sexualised or gun songs. No 2 humans have the same point of view this exists in Rasta, hence 12 tribes, Orthodox etc.

HE WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE Let the wheat 🌾 and the grass grow until the day of harvest

I am curious about the Rasta Movement, Religion or Whatever it is. I would like to learn more about it. My main question is, How come Haille Selassie NEVER wear the DREAD LOCKS Hair style ? , DRESSES Like a British Monarch ? but seems to be the Figurehead of the Rasta Condition ?......

dis a intelligent conversations fi di yuts, big up n love from ifrika 🇰🇪

Rasta anuh bout how u look, a weh inna u heart

Taurus have 50 tattoos but he's a great teacher

I remember a lot of ppl was upset when he did that song with Ellie Goulding

To say the fight is over is crazy!!! The amount of poverty in Jamaica 🇯🇲 the corruption of the tourism industry!!!!

Corinthians 12:20 For I fear that perhaps when I come I may find you not as I wish, and that you may find me not as you wish-that perhaps there may be quarreling, jealousy, anger, hostility, slander, gossip, conceit, and disorder.🔥

Let's stop judging each other, he without sin etc etc, unity is strength, Rastafari

Well said ari 👏

One of the worst thing to InI as a people(or any people) is sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity..!

Big up tarrus

Bun out uhnnu sadomite self first !! Uhnu kartel Duppies🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Why are you concern about whether he is fake Rasta. Go and question Christian looking people about whether they are fake. Why is his religious belief have to be ironed out on air, just deal with is music in it entirety and leave the man alone. Even in Babylon they don’t have them concern. Hunnu worster dan Babylon that try fi scatter our Reggae artist. Go and question gospel artist on there purity or middle of the road content. Leave Rastafari children alone and go and fast with di real wicked that is causing Anarchy on Earth. Respect to the sisters dem, who sounds and give more positive reasoning. Country’s in Africa where western people don’t dominated LGBT is not welcome, so globalisation of such choices is just limited to Babylon control or influence countries

he is an artist so it cant be a disguised but mi get the point still

Emperor haile Selassie was a Orthodox Christian

Did u guys realise Tarus Riley sang over Micheal Jackson song Human nature, which incidentally came out the same month he passed away

I love Tarrus Riley's music . He is positive and his music is a joy to me. I don't care what haters say.

This is a stupid conversation, but I understand why you need to talk about it. However, I don't get why someone's religious inclinations matter to the wider public as long as certain principles are maintained. Some people put that through in the music 24/7, others don't. Taurus carries himself well, feels good about himself, and is an upstanding citizen. Why you haffi bushy and live in a the hills fi be real. This is the reason why it seems rastafari haven't grown. Big up, Dr. Kadamawe Knife, Miguel lorne who are PHD and lecture at UWI and show people that rastas bright too. Rastafari is just like every other livity and it is a part of society whether rastas as myself see as that or not. There's nothing in rastafari about tattoos unless you're a bible rasta. Remember protoje and the benz issue, but then I know elder rastas weh a drive benz before bob marley. People a real rasta until money grease them palm.

The fight has gotten worst, Rastafari is not wa the I dem a see pan the surface, we bun tourism and all other ism , we never stop burn the fire, so be careful not to stereotype , cause one size certainly don’t fit all, and the media is exposed to those long locks ppl that are compromised, most of the artist u know I’m music that proclaim rastafari , doesn’t fiction with a Rastafari mansion. REGGAE SINGER WITH LOCKS , differnt from RASTAFARI

Real talk I was watching Tarus Riley in an interview the host said to him how is music is different he replied nobody can't rasta him up since then after watching that interview I knew him naah seh Rastafari Haile selassie him say it out of his own mouth the program was and is with this light skin dreadlocks lady don't remember exactly the name of the program it's on crave TV the is called Island something you could check it out for real

Rastafari came from the Black power movement

Truth is nuh fyah nah bun, nuh rebellious music against the system nah mek. The music being made by the new age rasta dem very safe. Rasta all a duh dub fi politicians. If wi a be real di only struggle from dem time deh wah change is the legalizing of ganja, Everything else still a happen but look different. Mi si artist a bun out politicians then a par wid Alphabet people and aslo endorsing dem music

So Selassie never love and have woman rasta nuffy love tun tun @tarrusrileyja is a versatile artist,buju did sing batty rider

Taurus is a living legend, my foundation bredda

Ras Looks, 👀.where is the message music or heritage. It is a way of life. ❤️ I Wayne🇯🇲 True Rasta Listen good vibes

Taurus actually started out as a singjay/dj

Yo fix..big up

Rastafari was a name given to one that is a military person in the army at the time when Selassie was the emperor of Ethiopia

What young person in Jamaica "respect" Tarrus Riley 🤔

"Gyal dem Cyaah stop me from bubble dem" Me no sure boy dah "cyaahh" something deh still but otherwise song have a vibes

The fix? What do you guys fix???You guys need to stop saying so much incorrect things n go do more research on the things you plan to talk about in the future,,, this is embarrassing intelligence coming out of Jamaica,,, the world deserves more educated people to listen to ,,, you all are dismissed

Riley is a guy that loc his hair and use rasta image, I never seen him a praise selassie and he has tattoos so i personally don't view him as a rasta artiste as said he operates somewhere in the middle i don't know the guy personally but he accepts rastafari as his faith it is clearly only in some aspects, he closer to protege and others than he is to sizzla and many more others

The name rasta mean Prince head of an army. Or head of the Ethiopian army during the time of his imperial Majesty haile Selassie

Yo @the fix u affi remember him born a america

Tarus is 10000000 time more genuine than all of uuuu and them! Trust don't owe any one anything! His father Jimmy in genuine, and Tarus is genuine! I hope Just bcause them do interview with Sizzla and want to stay on Sizzla good side! I hope they don't diss Tarus! Some people take religion 2 far! A no everyone who wear them hair long is Rasta! If u all knew Bob, Bunny Wailer, and Peter Tosh like I do! U all would rewind and come again! Especially Bunny and Peter after they became Rasta!

I think to do this type of conversation justice you need to invite a Rasta scholar onto the panel. You guys made a great effort but have a tolerance of certain values that Rasta's don't. Your arguements are subjective and do not include the spiritual effects of Riley's material based decision making which are contrary to Rastafarian beliefs. As someone from the faith I would prefer if Riley denounce his association from the faith rather than tarnish it's standing and reputation. You guy's talk about him being an artist before his faith, well that say's everything about his lack of discipline towards the faith. Riley is not the only person who claim Rasta for career advancement then as soon as they become popular allow their Wig to slip. Please, please ,please Riley trim your locks, drop the Rasta aspect and just let us appreciate you soley for being an artist. You are a brilliant musician but you have made it clear that you are a brand. Well black people have fought over 400 years to no longer be a product. Just drop the Rasta bit so that you can express yourself with no boundaries as you cleary wish. Please and tanks !!!

Yute that's how you sees him I think as a host you shud be more mindfull of how u judge artist bcuz like the female said once you ear a TRILEY song the first thing you ear it's his voice yall ate too religious and leave people alone.. YOU NEED TO WATCH YUHSELF

Yes and for you who said rasta don't believe in birthday and age you are to know there's a difference between born and birth your date of birth is not when you were born born means after birth and remember there's no number higher than 9 so what is age I'm 44 44 is not a number also no one can define a color rss Tafari is not a religion its simply a high consciousness they call spiritual hailie Selassi said that

And some Rasta talk about Jesus

Rasta livity is African way of life not singing Reggae

No such thing as fake rasta or fake Christian fake Muslims if you say you are you won't disrespect your principles

You have to define what actually is a Rasta, then overstand if Tarrus is that?!? Is there really a real Rasta? Yeah? WHO?

SOH UNUH JUST DISCOVA SEY TAURUS A FAKE RASTA..??.... 🤔

If tarrus a real rasta what would i call chronix 🤔🤔

Tattoos are root in African culture

8:55 haille sellasie acknowledge jesus most rasta that reads understand that they are ethiopian orthodoxy christian that worship yahweh same. god jesus/yeshua pray to.. i dont know how rasta was promoted as a seperate religion because bob marley been a preach this hence why he got baptize in ethiopia orthodoxy church in the name of jesus/yeshua , wee need a historian on the show to speak FACTS.. bring someone to explain the TRUTH of history

If he had all them tattoos before Rasta fine but if we honest it don’t look good base off of what Rasta is about .and to say bc one is not Rasta they can’t judge Rasta is crap Rastas are the fire burners if them can be the judge then they can be judge When u see tarrus you don’t see Rasta I not going call him fake but base on his appearance that’s not Rasta

Bun out all tatatos bun out all he she or she he bun out all corruption Rasta teach. Not follow any hype. These dreads got Rasta mix up

Name the real Rastas in the music business today?

So Tarrus was Busta Rhymes Dj inna NY befor him bus as a singer so maybe him have the tats dem before him ras

Is like #THEFIX DO NOT LIKE TAURUS RILEY PERSONALLY why wud you title the video like that bcuz you want to know if a man a rasta or not yall are fucking crazy & who is a rasta what you called a rasta show me 1 single perfect rasta here all the organizers is in it for money 💵 & traveling the world who can see & ear more it's all ego

Reggae artist using Ras Taffari name to make money nothing else

New school kool rasta lol

If you don't scream rasta for I, or wear Khaki then you're a fake rasta.

True Rastafari tradition is a spiritual vibration religion separate people spirituality is one vibration life is not cost of living no such thing as way of life there is way of living way of life means different kind of life there is no difference in life hailie Selassie speak of spiritually not religion and let me tell you the song bob marley sing called war speech of hailie selassie as you might know that not just a speech or song that is the order of life the United nations is the same order was also founded by hailie Selassie the solution to life is until there's no longer first and second class citizen of any nation you should go read the United Nations human rights constitution on Google hailie Selassie was not about religion he said it is he who interfares intentionally and calculately with the order of the United nations is the enemy of us all from hailie Selassie book wise mind of hailie selassie it's not about what this man do or say it's simply about submitting oneself to the principles of christ not Jesus or Yashua it's all about the principles to comply to

Very disrespectful headline. Who gives you the authority to put out such nonsense? Such trash

Lets applaud those with uplifting music and messages in this time when we need it most. Everything evolves and ras get the most disected and criticized while the wicked are left to flourish with their fuckery.

Only you fi put yuself ina BOX,,,,sum a dem wey a talk bout fake rasta dem a downplay dem creativity fi please tung waggin waggonist😮

Taurus Riley is the Maxie Priest of the day.

People always feel the need to give their opinion on someone else faith they also said Bob Marley was fake back in the 70s Tarrus is good 7:45

Who is the real Rasta and who is the fake Rasta . Can you put your hand on your chest and say this man is the real Rasta ..,

I don’t know if he is a Rasta or a dread but all I know that song is bad

A real rasta has no tattoos nor fake locks including boring ears.

The 3 realest rasta to mi up to this day is I Wayne, richie spice and Luciano

I wayne move more authentic

She say da system use Rasta as tourist material..I understand wat she say..she right

Rasta nah promote negativity and cuss down everything. Big up Taurus. Fake rasta is someone like sizzla

Too much judgment and mediocrity. We are sometimes to petty , too minor to do anything major. All unu fi do betta !!!

Rastafari give them the way.so they will fall. Rasta don't take part in mix up

Why should people question his authenticity?

Im so bored of the fake ras argument. Quarter ras, half ras, blah blah. I dont even care as long as their not harming everybody. No one adheres to every expectation of their religion or culture.

I Wayne a the only real rasta lef a dweet & stay conscious

🇯🇲🇯🇲 Some of us better lower our expectations of “Rasta business”. Let’s be reminded Taurus, the son of Jimmy the Riley was born in Miami, so a least he kinda have an excuse as a Rasta spinoff. Though he obvious try to over-compensate by wearing the longest unnecessary “string beard” of any “Yard artist” and try to make every syllable in the English language into a song. Just like reggae, Rasta has been evolving/diluted to keep up with the new-age digital mindset. Gone are the days of my youth when Rasta a “uphold the covenant” : no salt diet, no meat, natural hair-growth without styling, no working for Babylon/self-reliance and reading a chapter (bible) a day to keep the fire burning. Now-a-days Rastas a work inna restaurant and a cook the sweetest stew peas with pigs tail; some are even full time “pig-farmers” and proudly proclaim “ him nuh affi work fi Babylon”. Rastas, some don’t hide no more going into a restaurant, in broad daylight and order jerk chicken or curry goat with lots of gravy. Bob Marley has always been the icon of Rasta and on his dying bed he defied the “order” by baptizing as an Ethiopian Copitic Christian; effectively rejecting the pillars of Rastafarianism which he upheld more than half his life. Can’t say I was disappointed, as much as he was “my artist”, I was not a fan (fanatic) but more so a reminder “put not your trust in mankind as he will fail you”. Rasta/Black-heart men put us on the map, least some of us forget that reggae was/is effectively “ Rasta gospel songs and protestations” coming from a place of the down-trodden/marginalized rising in protests. If reggae is dying is it because Rasta is dying? Where are the new sect of Rastas to carry on the legacy?

Stop talk bulshits all jugements ...let the People Be... The Most Hight .the only judge...

TO EACH IS OWN

Don't entertain any divide. People are stupid. It's a simple concept, when numbers increase, things will water down. Be it school or church, just pick a thing. The gay thing now, just tell me the song bob, dennis, burning spear, or bunny wailer sing burning gays. This bun battyman thing is a new concept in music, that started in dancehall. So we are just being unfair to the youths as if gaydom is the only wrong thing. My issue is avoiding a topic because of visa. And the elder artiste were wrong, gays should not die even tho it's wrong. A gay man today can be not gay tomorrow.

Tarrus Riley is a real G 😊

Suh how unu nuh talk bout kymani marley tattoos dem? And how him trim him locks? Kmt to each his own...Taurus always do feel good music nuh matter if it conscious or girl chune me nuh see him a do ntn out of the way....nuff a dem rasta yah come in the media come preach this and that, you woulda frightened fi see weh dem a do!!!
