General Discussion / Re: From English to Zulu raps
« on: September 05, 2011, 04:05:37 PM »African rappers using the word nigga in their raps are brainwashed and are nothing but followers who claim to be leaders. English is not the universal language. Music is the universal language. Anyway why try to sell in America when you can sell record in your own country. We lack creative ways as artisst to connect with our own people so we follow whats already been done. Embracing other cultures and neglecting your own is a sign of a lost people.Make your own culture cool and relevant to modern day society.

Eshe!
I agree with the bold bit.. i have, for a few years now had endless discussions with dudes from around the way regarding this.. It seems in S.A. "dope" rappers are judged by how american they sound.. The more american you sound, the doper you are percieved to be..
look at this L-tido chap, his accent is digusting! there is absolutely nothing original about the guy.. i actually rate that guy from teargas higher than i rate most of these so-called "real hip-hop" emcees in this country..
Its this swagger nonsense as well... dudes these days wear jeans, fitted caps, gla**es and blazers and claim swag.... kulahlekiwe nhyan bras.. i became disoriented with S.A. "hip-hop" a looong time ago....
