I respect your opinion.

That being said, I disagree. Bob Marley's music reaches me at a gutteral level. His pro-Black lyrics and the melodies have touched me even when I first heard him when I was a child. I think you should listen to his discography in it's entirety. Some of his best songs are not singles/popular.

I'm sitting up here sipping listening to the best of bob Marley, and I'm not seeing what the hype is. Outside of his popular songs the rest is pretty wack, its sorta like prince discography
Lmao

You literally got to be inhuman to not feel Bob. His music can be mellow but that just means you take it in on a chill vibe.

If you can't feel it then don't know what to tell you. He isn't overhyped at all. The hype is justified

Whoa, you're talking about a man that was risking his life after an assassination attempt by the govt after exposing corruption, became revered as a prophet by his religion & made a country with less people than the city of Chicago known world wide. His music might be a little dated, but after 50 years the lyrics still reign true.

When people say dated, nah.... It's timeless. It's truly timeless. Does it sound like modern music? No course not, it sounds better than most modern music. Dated implies it has a shelf life or it hasn't aged well, to me his catelogue has aged superbly and it sounds just as good to me as ever. His music has depth and is valuable, it isn't modern club music no, it's not really made for that, but it touches your soul, heart and mind if you get it. Some artists I can understand people feeling they may be overrated but Bob was transcendent, he wasn't just a singer or musician, he made music to feed the soul and heart. You feel an immense love and power from his music. It's some of the greatest I've ever heard, he's in that top bracket to me of artists ever, top 5 somewhere I believe. I can understand some people not getting it though I guess, but to a lot of people he's the embodiment of music and what music is supposed to be about, I agree too, Bob Marley is the epitome of what I want music to be. His music is medicine for the soul in a sick world that shines glimmers of light through darkness. So many greats after him, for example 2Pac were inspired by Bob, and they took his philosophy in a sense and are part of that legacy of making music to try to touch people and help people. When your music has value to the people, uplifts the people that's when it's timeless. A lot of the shallow ish will come and go, may be here for a while, 1 year, 2, 3, 4, 5, even 10 years, but Bob Marley's music will be here 100 years and beyond that.
