Macka B simply explains meaning of I&I
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rastafarian_vocabulary
I replaces "me", which is much more commonly used in Jamaican English than in the more conventional forms. Me is felt to turn the person into an object whereas I emphasises the subjectivity of an individual.
I and I is a complex term, referring to the oneness of Jah (God) and every human. Rastafari scholar E. E. Cashmore: "I and I is an expression to totalize the concept of oneness, the oneness of two persons. So God is within all of us and we're one people in fact. The bond of Ras Tafari is the bond of God, of man. But man itself needs a head and the head of man is His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie (always pronounced as the letter 'I,' never as the number one or 'the first') of Ethiopia." The term is often used in place of "you and I" or "we" among Rastafari, implying that both persons are united under the love of Jah.

  • Chetnik reconverted in Rasta after the war...They already had the long beard, long hair..it was eas!!

    Also Bob Marley was half Serbian, half Jamaican...

    Arkan loved tigers, Bob Marley loved lions and both got shot!!!

    Haile Selassie, the king of Bob Marley looked like Mihailovic

    Some says that he created the rasta look based on the Chetnik look...

    Kosovo je Srbija!

    Bob Marley je cetnici

  • @ColonelPamiat

    Well inetersting parallels, but very unreal. Just like the

    "BLACK CHETNIK - Bob Marley & Arkan ' s Tigers (Arkanovi Tigrovi)" video (in fact, unreal mix).

    Marley was half English, half Jamaican.

    Rasta looks is based on African warriors.

  • @rasvoja Marleys father wasn't english he was a serb that lived in Norwey

  • @srpskiheroi

    Would be nice to be so, but reality check: Norval Marley was born in Jamaica to Albert Thomas Marley, an English man from Sussex, and Ellen Broomfield Jamaican. Later he was sent back to Jamaica where he met 18-year-old Cedella Malcolm (later Cedella Booker), who gave birth to their son Robert Nesta (Bob) Marley on February 6, 1945. The couple split after a short time. Bob Marley, at his own admission, never really came to know his father.
