Maybe it's just me, but I don't get this Matisyahu thing. It seems "nochgimacht" -- not genuine. Or at least as genuine as Bob Marley (were he alive) singing like Abish Brodt, imitating all his frum mannerisms and Litvishe pronounciation. I can't help but wonder how that would go over with say, a Jamaican audience?

Shalom uBrocha!
Every Rebbe has his Chassidim - and every singer has his audience.
I met a person who finds Avraham Fried and MBD "not genuine", but you must agree that millions of people find them extreemly spiritualy uplifting.
