I think I learned something new today, if this is true.
The lyrics from Damion Marley's "Welcome To Jamrock"...
(This lyric is commonly misheard as “murder” but is in fact “merther”.)
Consider me amongst the common mis-hearers.
That from: http://genius.com/902678
Ini Kamoze's original:
Out in the streets they call it merther, when riddims spacing out your head, world a reggae music on yah-eh
Thus clearly showing the correct lyric is merther, as correctly defined by user Jacky_Cox “Merther is the trance you experience when smoking cannabis while listening to reggae”.
Have heard Welcome To Jamrock countless times and Ini Kamoze's quite a few times as well (and Anthony B's pseudo-cover "World A Reggae Music" which I don't think actually has that line) and never picked up on that.

Why would I be looking into this? - got distracted on http://pancocojams.blogspot.com/ because of the
"john crow" JLP/PNP spat in the papers (not that I expect anyone to care).
