Blessed Father! Whether InI is Bobo Ashanti, Twelve Tribes of Isreal, Nyabinghi or whatever, InI is RASTA! Give thanks and praise to the almighty JAH Rastafari.

Holy Emmanuel I Selassie I JAH Rastafari! Haile ile I!

White man bow to the jesus, Indian bow to the cow, Chinese man bow to Buddha. Where is the black man god now?
Selassie is god. Emmanuel is the black christ in flesh. Garvey is the prophet.

Check mi turban, check mi robes. Bobo lives outside of society, we do not accept the babylonian values or culture. We eat roots and fruits, good vibes a flow. Raspect

post edit: Dezarie just dropped her fourth album. It is amazing. We are all just children of the most high, RASTA.

Click to expand...

they have gone through various line ups. and that time period (SKBV) including Assini and Nemozian Rasta and a few other is peak midnite.
Vaughn Benjamin - Vocals, Percussion
Ron Benjamin - Keyboards, Guitar, Percussion
Abijah Hicks - Guitar
Phillip Merchant - Electric Bass
Dion (Bosie) Hopkins - Drums

This line up was SICK, but now Ron is on bass, and the others are all gone. It's a whole different show. But Dezarie shows are still as spiritual as it gets. Bless up IC.

That can actually be linked back to the nyabinghi. The idea is to destroy all white downpression. Rasta may relate negative to white, so by default white people take this as kill white people. then eddie murphy did that song, lol.

you have to remember that rasta was born out of complete oppression in response to slavery. it can't make sense because it is a) a religion, sometimes cult (the bobo) and b) reactionary to seemingly unimaginable hate and oppression.

but the core of rasta, which makes it so great, is that rasta is unique to each rastafarian, and InI need as little or much dogma as InI choose. InI gives thanks and ises to JAH, Halie I, and that's really about the only rule. There are labels for the general dogmatic/social groups of rasta: Bald-head rasta, bobo, binghi, 12 tribes, singjays, babylon fake rastas, eastern ethiopian orthodox, the dreadlocks, ect.

All I know is we smoke Chalice, Chillum (with a griti and ras-clat), and spliffs. And we don't touch our lips directly to the pipe in social situations, gotta use the chillum grip.

Rastafari is Haile Sellasie.. Prince Tafari.
Click to expand...

True, but let's not confuse the man and the religion.

Prince Tafari was renamed Ras Tafari upon coronation. The rastafarian religion was created after that, in Jamaica, thanks in part to Marcus Garvey, as a response to oppression of Jamaica's indigenous people and imported slaves.

Haile I was not a rasta, and in fact did not approve of being worshipped. But upon Halie I landing in Jamaica, the religion took off, and hasn't looked back yet. There are as many types of rasta as there are stars in the sky.
