« on: June 26, 2007, 10:22:57 AM »
hiphop has come of age in south africa.
do we still have to use terms that were coined abroad???
i just looked at emile's article and saw that his organisation is called HEAL THE HOOD. i ask myself the question.. WHO USES THE WORD "HOOD" ON THE CAPE FLATS????
HOOD is obviously an american shortening of the word NEIGHBOURHOOD. if we have what is called TOWNSHIPS in south africa.. i ask myself... why not "SAVE THE SHIP"...?????
