you dont have to be jamaican to use a accent when makeing the music you love thats about LOVE and peace and not hateing one another,alot of people who commented forgot what Rastafar-i is,you need to get that negativity out.One Love, Rastafar-i forever livein forever faithful forever sure.
SOJA has a great message in one of their songs jacob hemphill sais " Black is a Mind State" By this i interpret to mean that he could still believe that the corrupt white man is fighting the black man which could be like ying yang and be complete opposite beliefs not necessary skin color think deep
actually Afrocentrism is a HUGE part in being a Rastafarian. They believe that Babylon has been white dominated, and that's why its largely an AFRICAN cultured religion. Now just because that's true doesn't mean they aren't accepting its one tiny aspect of the religion. Im a christian but doesn't mean im against Catholics or Jews or Rastafarian. im with Scott don't call people ignorant if the only thing you know about the MOVEMENT is what songs you jam on you tube. PAR.
Rastafari is not a competition to see who is "Blacker". Rastafari is about peace, love, and Inity. No one Rastaman is better than another Rastaman. One may practice more than another. A Black Rastaman is no better than a White Rastaman. There is no difference between a white man and black man, Rasta or not. The "difference" is brought up by stereotypes and over 100 years of racism and oppression.
these guys are both way cool and awesome singers, and a true zen master would be wise enough to notice the caliber of light and love this band projects.
Wow you dont have to be black to know the message i was born in jamaica where it started and to listen to fools argue about color of a man skin is silly , S.O.J.A to me has the right message , one love one heart one destiney
wow haha. you ignorant bumclots. why do you need to prove your reggae is better than anyone elses reggae?! you insecure fucks. all of you need to remember what rasta is and what TRUE reggae is. praising H.I.M. and giving thanks. not proving and saying how youre blacker.
reggae music has nothing to do with color!! Reggae music preaches just that!! reggae music is deeper than color... it praises his Majesty Haile Selassie I!!!
Cum 2 new zealand bro well show uz wats up wen it cumz 2 reggae bra.. This is good stuff dont get me wrong it's just that......WERE BETTER!! and were blacker...LOL..dnt believe me?.... Look up HOUSE OF SHEM on youtube KATCHAFIRE AND ROOTS BATTALION.. these are only 3 groups of hundreds in our country... Overall tho good work boiz keep it up and cum 4 a tour down our ways we love reggae....Even if u are white..
who the fuck wants 2 listen sum dumbass group named ooklah the moc... get da fuk outta here bitch.. and dont talk about my culture boy u dnt know shit about us let alone your own mr ALOHA... So as far as the baldheads in NZ are concerned were all a bunch of BLACK jobless THIEVING WEED SMOKING BERR DRINKING CRIMZ who need 2b locked up... So get ur facts str8 b4 opening ur mouth cock boi.. an besides i KNOW 4 A FACT DAT KATCHAFIRE ROCKED HAWAII'S SOX OFF BOI AND THERE GODS OVA THERE...
one more thing...you profile says you're from australia.....weird.
are you even from NZ or do you just like to rep for other cultures/nationalities.
to live somewhere is one thing and to be a native (meaning your bloodline is traceable to those of a Maori) is another. like in hawaii, you are not a hawaiian unless your bloodline can be traced to actual kanaka maoli. if not, then you're just a "person" who happens to live on the land.
Rastafariis a way of life, it is a choice you make to live in peace and find and preach the word of Jah Rastafari!!it doesnt matter what color you are but what you believe in!!
You don't need to be black to be Rasta. Rasta is about finding yourself and embrase I and I the only one true Jah. It's not about the color of ones skin... Jah is within all of us. You just need to find and Praise him.
Hey cock face learn 2 read bitch. u obviously dnt know much about NZ or katchafire u clown coz if u did u would know da they are all MAORI'S!!!!... Did u even know dat NZ even had NATIVES!!???.. And who da fuk wants 2 listen 2 a group namedm OOKLAH? WTF da name sez it all buddy... NO THANX.. DONT TALK ABOUT SHIT U NO NOTHING ABOUT COCK BOI
i am not fucken stupid, of course i knew NZ had native people...idiot
and what makes katchafire a better name than ooklah the moc? you're the clown, judging a book by its cover! so fuck you queer, and by the way katchafire is an awsome band, i go to almost ever one of their concerts that i can, but ooklah has much more conscious lyrics!! and do us a favor and don't call yourself black....you're not even close!
FIRST of all, *embracing, SECONDLY, major rastafari leaders have a history of preaching afrocentrism so don't call people ignorant on the basis that they express a different, yet still accepted view of your beliefs. come on. read a fuckin book. THIRD, you capitalized praise instead of Him. FOURTH and final.. whatever race you are, i hate it
Yes.. I think you can see that. But if your suggesting its wrong for them to be pursuing reggae because of their colour that's absurd. No1 Reggae knows no colour
No2 Their are white Jamaicans(even though their not)
This is not an attack on you just open your mind. Lets not box people in by colour.
you dont have to be jamaican to use a accent when makeing the music you love thats about LOVE and peace and not hateing one another,alot of people who commented forgot what Rastafar-i is,you need to get that negativity out.One Love, Rastafar-i forever livein forever faithful forever sure.

I don't understand their accent's, they are a bunch of Babylon impostors for Northern Virginia.
They using an image to make money, but they aren't really praising Jah or spreading the word.
What about Moses in the Land of Tobe? What about the fact Greek philosophy come from Africa?!
Of course any man of any color can come to Jah; but they USING AN IMAGE.
Them not natty dread or rastamusic, them baldhead Bob Marley fans.
