I understand bits and pieces from listening to loads of reggae, my mate can but he's Jamaican... with a broad brummy accent

I understand some of it thanks to years of reggae, dancehall and jungle abuse.

I have found it interesting that orthodox Rasta are so conscious of the power that words have, that they choose to eliminate prefixes that have a negative (con-, sin-, etc) with "I" (itinually, icerely for example) . Same with replacing positive prefixes in negative words (downperssor instead of oppressor/"up"ressor) and refering to your fellow bredren as well as yourself as the "I".

Gwaan now!
