    P. Tosh was one of the most bravest and greatest warrior ever lived. In 1976 nobody was singing about Apartheid, that’s because nobody had balls the size of Peter Tosh!
  • PETER TOSH was a real soldier of JAH with his music always teach one love and unity about all nations his message of love peace and unity will live forever. Rest in glory and peace in holy mount ZION ... JAH RASTAFARI LIVE !! ✌
  • Peter was a genius both on stage n off stage ... de wisdom of Peter Tosh.
  • I love Peter tosh he didn't conform to make it he stayed tru to himself. Anytime a blk man is steady in who he is society calls him arrogant and angry. Peter shook the colonized minds of many
  • @blackbulletable

  • @nkosigenga6983
    Best Reggae recording artist universaly, his music is timeles
  • Listening to this documentary makes me look at brother Peter Tosh different than how I used to view him. I now see a great spirit that was sent here on a mission. Listening to this documentary makes see a king that was way ahead of his time. I now understand that he was a person with a superior mindset that goes way beyond material boundaries. Lol! His sense of humor got Me cracking up when I heard the manes he give people to put them beneath, or against him. I felt sad shortly when I heard how bad those Babylon slaves beat him because the cowards feared him. It’s also sad to see that a lot of Jamaican people don’t barely know anything about The Great Peter Tosh like we should even though we’re thriving off legacy of his struggles. I think one of the reasons is because he was underrated by his own people. I think he was a fierce warrior that use words like a sword, and a lot of people didn’t understand him. I can tell by listening to this documentary, and some of his music that he had a very strong will and he wasn’t afraid of anything. A true soldier. “Real ting!”
  • Peter tosh' s rumours of war is a master class. That's class
  • Peter was right, there was nothing new about him.Most people who really know Peter do not report finding him arrogant and difficult to get on with. It is always certain people who report that they find him difficult to get on with. I would suggest that those people who constantly say they did not get on with him, also take a good look at themselves to determine why they they were unable to get on with him including how they approached him.
  • He gave his life for what he believed in.its a shame African countries never honour him like other revolutionarist ,especially South Africa.
  • @dr_freckleton
    I was born the day he died. I have mad respect for him.
  • This is a great documentary. Gives other insights into Peter's legacy.
  • PeterTosh’s songwriting and album production stands up to the best of any reggae or pop music in existence, he should always be remembered as a great songwriter, singer and voice of truth and justice.
  • Have always loved Peter Tosh always real never compromising so sad he is not of this world any more imagine how much more his contribution to the world would have been had he lived those who did him harm may they and there's be made to suffer eternally REST IN ETERNAL PEACE BROTHER PETER
  • Stop your nonsense and lies… Peter was never arrogant. The media painted that because they knew he was far greater than Bob and his message was more profound. The true King of reggae and man of truth.
  • Peter Tosh was super great, songs like burial, the original rocksteady version, legalized it, stepping razor, and much more

    Peter Tosh and Jimmy Cliff made my favorite music from Jamaica but I never knew Tosh's backstory. It says something about our species that violence is used against artists who openly expressed revolutionary ideas.... Zappa was severely injured by a lunatic fan while on stage, Tosh was beaten by police and then murdered by criminals, Lennon was murdered by a lunatic. But their music and their message live on.
