But u see, Hip-hop wasn´t build on no T.V. We don´t need that shit. We just need to mobalise the streets, do shows, pa** out flyers, have all-night longs ciphers, that´s how we build the industry. We shouldn´t let the SA Music Scene dictate to us how to do things. We should do it the only way we know how, through the streets.

Over the last few months i have seen, an imerging Cipher culture throghout the whole of Soweto. Every sunday, muthaf***as are getting together in parks and holding ciphers and battling each other, and every weekend it get´s more and more crowded, and Mc´s go home to sharpen up their skills , and come back the next week to rip shit up. Now that´s what i´m talking about.THAT´S HIP-HOP.

Ya know jus readin this, i feel so proud o ma boys. Finally sum people wit sense and it jus gives me hope. Dat im not wastin my time here and that boLira and TK dont need me as much as yall do.

Now all we do is actually MAKE a difference. Sittin here makin all these statements 4 us to read is not improving nething out the in the real world. We need to get off our a**es and stop starin into computer screens and do SUMTHING!!

We gotta rep underground but we also need to do damage control. Skwatta and Thembi have really made an impression on our beautiful yet stupid country. We gota make it rite. Cos no1 else will.

ay yo things are happening...
keep ur ear tuned to the underground... we just gotta hold it down and wait out the commercial buzz... those who are in hiphop for the ´pop´ will fade like the rest when the rubber meets the road... u won´t find fake cats and one a my expo´s, we too UG - they gotta be down with the culture or they feel outa place and bounce... don´t get me wrong we´z always recruiting new talent but... for real... we gotta keep it on tha real

That´s cool Mo. I aint tryin to pressure u or anything.;-)

One more thing before i leave.

I´m really glad, that we are starting to have some focused conversations on this website ( i´m tired of the Moly has a prono voice type threads, although i have also contributed to them)

When i first found AfricasGateway, i was really excited, cuz i was tired of going to SOHH,HIPHOPINFINITY and all those American sites and reading about Dipset. But after a while, i saw that AG wasn´t really that focused as well, all niggas was doing was battle in the OneonOne forums.

Everytime i log on i check who is online, and there will be about 10 muthaf***as, but they never respond to threads, what´s up with that. That needs to change ya´ll. This is a forum and we should use it make our voices heard. I definitely don´t have all the answers, but at least i got a vision. Niggas need to come up with ideas which we can all analyse and argue about. We need to help each other out with beats, hooks, lyrics, promotions whatever. If u got contacts that i would need, hook me up, uknowwhati´msayin. That´s how it should be.

Ok now i´m really going to Lunch. ;-)

Out here we struggling to even get good qulity beats but its changing tho, u should here Orakle´s album son its of the shelf.peep that Cashless Society(African Raw Material) 2 of them are from here. some of your cats put out the wackest joints even tho ya´ll got access to good equipment.

True brotha!

Mischief- He is wack now and he made a wack statement on One saying tht he is tired of hip-hop weeell nice publicity stunt but did not work.
Look at channelO´s nasty i don´t watch it anymore.It makes sense why the show has changed,ever since MbusoT left Nasty it has gone worser than worse.

Lets save this culture before it is too late!

:-| :-o :-o

Princesscribe · **Reply #29 on:** November 23, 2003, 05:32:00 PM

I hear all your complaints but what we don´t see is that THIS is where it´s happening. Don´t look at other cats to represent you, REPRESENT YOURSELVES. As long as there are places like AG to speak honestly about this shit we could never say SA hip hop is wack because WE are SA Hip hop. It´s not about Skwatta, Amu or Mizchif it´s about the cats on the streets, in their bedrooms and in skanky clubs just tryna keep the shit fresh. As powerful as the media is there can be nothing more powerful than word of mouth and THATS what this shit is REALLY about!!!
