I think many people were exposed to Sublime before reggae ('cept for Bob Marley of course). But once you realize how many of their songs (mostly from 40oz which I actually like quite a bit) are basically covers of older reggae/ska songs, you lose a bit of that admiration. I liked them quite a bit during college because I really had minimal exposure to reggae and ska at the time. Still don't have too much really, but I recognize where several of the songs are from now. I still like the album but I definitely wouldn't call him a genius.
