Quote from: "Sduhla"

Morale can definately write, but there is just NO conviction in ur voice, thus ur shit sounds weak. BRICKS u should be ashamed of urself for mentionin that quasi bohamian in the same breath wit the realest cat in SA hip hop, Maradona.Who the f*** cares of how long Selwynn been rappin.Dude is still garbage. And the fact that he featured on POC, who by the way were not briliant neither means f*** ALL! iF IT MEANS SUMTHIN then Puffy/Diddy IS ONE OF THE DOPEST MCS CAUSE HE WAS FEATURED ON KRS' ALBUM IN 97.
I do think that Cash and Zooloo NEED to grow the f*** up, cause they still caught in the era where a rapper is only dope if he rhymes in English. Dplanet ur views seldom suprise me, u a real white booi! And MrC wut does Selwyn carryin EPMD EL have to do wit anythin. We could go to the real history of hip hop, and I know I'll find u wantin.
I was in Le Club when Tumi was still a member of the crew Database. Snaz, Maradona, Tumi, Amu and Krooked were the hottest cats then. Selwyn was always an 'intertainer' thats if u find stupidity inertainin. SA hip hop didn't start in Le Club, so stop frontin.

Who said anything about SA Hip-hop starting out in Le Club ?

I made mention of it cos to me and hundreds of other kids who where there every Saturday, that was SA hip-hop at it's most purest. There has never been an era like that in SA hip-hop history and i highly doubt there ever will be.

Selwyn carrying an EPMD LP in 89' has everything to do with the point that i was making. Back then there was little to no hip-hop community where i come from, therefore it was dope to me to see cats carrying and exchanging stacks of vynils through a busy mall in central joburg, when this whole f***en industry didnt even recognize us. Therefore him doing that when Look n Listen in Hillbrow didn't even have a large hiphop collection, tells me he has always had the pa**ion for this music just like these cats nowadays claim to have. Now they real hip-hop and Selwyn is not ! Please man. Most of these cats that ya'll hate have been where ya'll are at as well. People think just cos they chose to do the kind of music they do, then the've never been exposed to the ARTEFACTS and ORGAZINED KONFUSION's of this world. I don't agree with most of the stuff they do, but i don't consider them WACK because i know their history
and know what they are capable of doing and to an extent understand why they do what they are currently on.

Also the fact that he was on a POC cut (who to me are brilliant by the way), shows that people recognized and gave him a shot. Out of all the rappers that were doing it then they chose him. For me that's a big thing cos i looked up to POC then and still do.

To be honest with you Sduhla, i never find anything constructive in most of your posts. Your always putting people down for no freaking reasons just cos they don't meet your or so high-and-mighty-standards.You never break down what it is they are doing wrong and what they should be doing to make it better. You just find fault in everybody out there trying to do something for themselves. I never heard you say anything good about anybody, except of course for 3WR, who deserve all the praise of the entire south african media and all it's stupid ma**es out there who don't know anything about anything. (AND I LUVVV 3WR).

You need to come down to earth brah, cos I for one can't hear you from WAY ABOVE THERE !

Things getting a little heated in here. Missed the fight. 8O

My 2 cents about this whole Selwyn thing, anytime a head (who's male (no homo) ) can just walk up to you to tell your isht is dope (if he thinks it's dope)...Then that dude is cool with me. Too many niccas be thinkin "F everyone else I'm the beginning and the end of this thing."

It's life and business right?

THAT'S WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT !!!!! Talk about something you are doing. Don't blab on about hustling when you haven't even started !

ALL THAT SHIT RIGHT THERE I CAN RESPECT !!!!

And just cos we differ in opinions don't mean we beefing. It should be COOL that u don't like Selwyn and i do. Just don't say shit like

"anyone who respects this cat must be cut from the same cloth or kissin a** to get to amu"

Like i said before : TO EACH HIS OWN !!!

I hope you guys have something to fall back on like a degree, cause hip hop music is SA will not take you far, You guys have all been sold the American dream and are just replicating what they doing when in actual fact that stuff doesn't work here, you guys are talking about hustling and making money when you guys don't even net R40 000 in a year, lol when the truth hits you guys it will be too late. All upcoming rappers who think they can make a living off hip hop are in for a big shock do your research its not pretty

Being on the metro FM chart dont mean shit, T-bo touch loves dick riding wack mcs.

Naah u dont....) i respect people as individuals and their for their talents and principals...ive got a lot of friends who do get picked up by thier parents and i can bet u they have more will power, principals and character u can only dream of.....

The truth offten hurts...but at times it must be said and I think this warning MUST be headed, the Ameican dream of making big in hip hop really fools cats. We all had dreams of being rap Gods but reality soon struck at the time the market was not ready for hip hop and I am talking international now imagine the chances of local acts succeding. This is why you saw heads thinking out the Box collabing or switching they style

TKZ abandoned they short lived one hip hop album career for "kwaito" smartest move they could ever do they actually build a South African urban sound by diluting recycling "hip hop" and providing for a market

Loco and Ode Mearster did really workout but I bet he got paid more than he got paid for his apperance in The Motherload

Tumi can't be held dude is incredible ..but truth be told its his band that got him the recognition with out the volume we would be singing a different tune about Tumi / Database

Amu only survived this long coz he was producing Gospel, Kwaito and other music Genre, Selwyn was employed Full time before quiting to do formula..

PLENTY other heads are roaming the co-opreate worl right even me ..check out my hustle www.herdit.co.za

I know of cats right now who held onto the dream of making it big in hip hop and those cats is just bums!

Carefull about aspirations of being stars

the guy that was on metro and has 4 music video's whats your stage name ? I haven't heard of any of you guys and I listen to alot of hip hop, this just shows theres lots to be done. being on radio and having a video doesn't mean anything

Dont worry, the real hustlers will hold it down for the future generation to come...DREAM BIG SON.....thats ur first lesson!
