you thought dreadloccs was just some bay shit? man, niggas been wearin those muthafuccas for years everywhere, not just the bay...rastafarian culture was the first to start wearing them...they regard them as a sign of their african identity and as a religious vow of their seperation from the wider soceity they regard as babylon...

Nope. They originate THOUSANDS of years before the first Rastafarian EVER thought of wearing them. I believe even white people (Scottish?) wore them before the Rastafarians.

exactly,its not a "bay" thang,its a trend.since Mac Dre came with the dreads it seems like everybody's gettin'em.............

as far as were it started,it started in Africa............not Jamaica..............


as far as purpose it depends who you ask.the old ass tribes who wore dreads was because they didnt cut there hair,comb it,or wash it,and that will make your into dreads naturally.................


some religions wear dreads cut they cant use scissors,i forgot why but its somethin about the metal.................

you guys are fuccin nutts man, why do people always gotta be the smart muthafuccas and try to contest whatever somebody says...do your homework..the followers of ras tafari called themselves "dreads" and grew matted loccs of hair which became known as "dreadloccs"...but of course "dreads" were being wore by other people like certain indian tribes, but the term dreadloccs came from rastafarians and is more known in that culture

Niggas in New York and all over even here in Cincy has been rocking dreads for over 20 years. But dreads are from the Rasta Culture its a spiritual thing. They out of style here though.

Didnt Samson from the Bible have dreads. I think thats why Rastas started wearing them, because Samson's power was in his hair. Thats the Rasta belief.
