I like this track too and the video is dope, done by Gorilla films. I hear the album is bananas too. These guys keep bringing heat and they stay on the humble.

I heard their radio interview on saturday talking about how Mizi wanted to be on their previous albums but they couldn't take his beats at the time coz the beats did not match the sound they were going for... until this current album and boom, this banger came out the kitchen!!

This is the first Teargas track I like. Very catchy hook (but in a good way).

Is it the same Gorilla Films that shot Pro's video (Nthini Go Pro)? A lot of similarities - shot iKasi, black and white, dude buying food from spaza, kids etc... still, it's nice.

Yeah, that's them. I realized after peeping this link that they are behind some of the videos I admired but never knew how did them. Like "Entity - Touch & Go"

i know what you mean on their beats vs lyrics For some reason, I like their igno lyrics. they dont try to be serious writers. Simple kasi tales, hustling and flossing. KO is actually nice.

Yeah. The beat is a banger!

I view teargas std as "Mpumalanga raised me, my mama made and u Mzantsi pays me" Simple. but it works for them.

I'm a fan. These dudes are consistent.
"My Zulu accent is kept straight when I'm on....the micro-phone"
It says a lot when the hater in me can only think of one little wack scene in their whole catalogue of videos.

Respect to them.

Yeah, not everyone wants/has to be supa lyrical. Some dudes just want to tell a story, get your head nodding, get honeys to shake their booty, get paid and get the f*** out. Nothing worng with that.

Post by: Dpleezy on November 11, 2009, 02:44:38 PM
I never really really liked any of their tracks until this one. I even have the damn hook stuck in my head as we speak! :)

i don't care that they aren't lyricists - that's obviously not what they are about. a lot of their songs have been too corny for my personal taste, but this 'go away' joint is nice. best 'summer hit' i've heard so far (along with one of those deep level joint, K'shubile (i think)).

This track actually aint that bad lyrically, there's this other one, where one of the dudes says some shit like:

"i roll with cats who drink quart(court) cases, in court having cases".
forgot how it goes, but ya.LMAO !!!!

Im enjoying this track by the way.No hate.

Crazy Beat + Dope Hook + Simple Lyrics = HIT. Write down the formula kids.

Hot joint! dudes have great taste in beats and fortunately not annoyingly wack on the lyrics. I can actually listen to their entire, no actually, most of their second album. the whole day.

hmm. that's not my intention, though.

just seems a lot of people are giving it a back-handed compliment. like "yeah, nice beat, but the lyrics are wack, but anyway, nice summer joint, nice simple formula that works".

what happened to just saying a joint is fire? and everyone's feeling it?

I honestly dont wanna dwell too much on this i've already said my negetive bit. I really feel this will take away the shine. Im tempted though.

Like I said before, I've never been a fan or Teargas because they have always seemed corny and lightweight - their flows have always sounded simple, yet clumsy to point of wackness too.

However, I can't front on this track. They sound and look totally credible on this joint and the beat is a winner. Summer hit - I have to co-sign it!

Teargas, in terms of movement, they hold it down. These katz do they thing. Been on their website - fresh. Their album cover...

This is what happens when the person/company that's comissioned to do the cover has an idea for a cover that they always wanted to try out, and these guys come along and the designer be like "yo, I got a brilliant idea for u guys, it's gonna be hot trust me...blah blah... on some never seen before shit blah blah blah...u gon be the only ones in SA ...blah blah blah.." ::) ::) ::)

And on their radio interview they had the nerve to imply that 50 Cent copied their cover.

Not hating, just saying.

Personally i think the cover is dope.

In KASI lingo "Dark or Blue" means "whatever may come".

So to me the cover says - "It's the future,the world look f***ed up in the background, some Apocalypse shit,they rocking futuristic terminator type clothes".

So whatever may come in the FUTURE, teargas will still be around holding it down.My interpretation. Goes with the TITLE. Plus the whole BLUE COVER fits in with the mood.

Again, the song with TIRA is not bad. I heard this on radio b4 the MIZI joint. But AGAIN the lyrics. This is where that whole "court case" shit comes in. Actually this KO dude is what's wrong with this group.

Let not forget the Tevin Campbell sampled song. Can you spell WACK my NIGGAZ ?

My question is still how does that visual relate to the actual music? The music is not dark, futuristic or apocalyptic. It's fun, lightweight hip pop. A picture of them chilling on boat with a gla** of champagne would have been more appropriate in terms of what to expect musically.

Lets's face it, these guys are here for the bread, hiphop is just a vehicle they chose to try and get it, hence the easy switch to kwaito/house tracks like this whenever someone whispers it their ear plus the words "ka-ching".

Nice video again. They got some healthy budget behind them.

They get plenty radio and TV airplay so I wonder how they do sales wise. Anybody got a clue?

ha ha. the subtext is cold hearted. damn.  ;D

anyway, that's a horrible track. Tira could have given it that Durban flavour instead of whatever that bullshit is.

@Black what's your beef with Tira?

unrelated: i love the way these cats portray Mzantsi. makes me feel 'proud' or something. i like this country a lot. it's beautiful and just a little, little bit delusional - not too much.
