not to derail, but since were talking folktales & elder rootsmen with a strong afrikan pride , i found the very phrase
"If yuh cyaah ketch Quaco, yuh ketch him shut"
.. very interesting the way the ideology of relatives being shirts/clothes is expressed, its a common thing in jamaica i recall parents call their kids their "jacket" .. and one day i was making the observation how MJ named his kid "blanket" .. .. ..interesting
R.I.P
FLY AWAY HOME TO ZION
R.I.P.
"Jacket" in Jamaica means the kid doesn't belong to the man but he think it does... he think he's the father but everyone else know the kid aint his hence "he's carrying a jacket"... and trust me, nuff woman in Jamaica purposely give man "jacket"...
I go back but only contact a select few lifelong friends.
Can't go back on some showoff shit..... you will get set the fuck up
It's understandable for some though. They been gone so long and thing it's the same place they left many moons ago.
Sad to see the legend not be able to just enjoy his golden years. Bad minded people (likkle fassyhole yuth dem)
yeah i find it interesting attributing offspring to clothing item , never really thought hard about it but i guess it could also be in jest , i was curious about the etymology of the word as it relates to kids & the function of clothing items in the context , cos i vividly recall situations relatives used it & i didn't think hard about it in context shirt, jacket , blankets"Jacket" in Jamaica means the kid doesn't belong to the man but he think it does... he think he's the father but everyone else know the kid aint his hence "he's carrying a jacket"... and trust me, nuff woman in Jamaica purposely give man "jacket"...

Facts seeing them brothers vibing to the music and just enjoying each others company is so sad to realize that the brother was killed and possibly some of the others wounded. We becoming sick in the mind not just in AmericaTerrible loss. Man elders ain't supposed to die like thisRIP
Rest in peace.
It is sad. My mom wants to go home to bury her cousin, but she'd have to stay at a hotel/resort. For her, staying at the family house isn't an option.

My fave tune of theirs, eerie line when they say “every gully a go run red”

What does killing an innocent person solve?
The other person still did what they did to you.
